Hey my follow authors, I know I haven't updated a really long while but, I was at my grandparents house for a couple days and I couldn't update there, so her is chapter …umm… 8, I think.

At the MacDonald-Venturi household…

George called his mother to see if Derek was there. She said that he just left. Nora called her mother asking about her daughter. Her mother said the same. George and Nora didn't know what to do. They tried to take care of the younger ones the best that they could but something always reminded them of their eldest children. After a few days, they didn't think they would come home. A knock at the door banished all their doubts, Derek and Casey had finally come home.

George and Nora were surprised and happy and angry and they wanted to know where the two hade been for the past couple of days.

(Hey, I've never written a flashback before. So, here it is, my first flashback. )

Casey's POV

I cannot believe that she wanted me to go back there. I can't face him; it'll be really weird. I wonder if it's too late to go back and beg her to let me stay. No, she'd call mom and George and then I'd really have to go home. I wish that I never told him about my dream, I wish we didn't have the same dream, I wish he didn't have that dream. I wonder why he dreamt that, about us, I mean not that it's strange but I dreamt it too. That has to mean something…something like…oh no, no, no, no, no, no…what if he dreamt it as the way he really sees our future…together? That's not good, not good at all. I guess it would be good if I felt the same way…which I don't, do I? No I don't, I can't. He's my brother, no he's my stepbrother; either way, it's still incest. But we're not related.

Wait, why am I even trying to convince myself of such a crazy thing. I don't like him and that's final.

General POV

In the midst of Casey's internal conflict, she didn't notice that she ended up in front of a store, a corner store. She went in and asked where she was. The person behind the counter told her that she was right outside of Ottawa. She lived in Ottawa, so she was relieved. She bought a bottle of water and walked outside. She noticed there was a group of people sitting in the parking lot. She went over to them and asked if any of them knew how she could get to the other side of town. One of them told her that there was a guy standing at the corner who asked the same thing and that she should go wait with him. So, she put her water bottle into her bag and walked over the guy. It was kind of dark so she didn't know what to expect from this guy. She finally got to him and he turned towards her. Derek.

" What are you doing here?" She asked

" I could ask you the same thing." He said

" I was visiting my grandmother." She said

" I got lost." He said

" You. Got lost?" She chuckled

" It doesn't matter. I just want to get home." He said

" Same here. I miss my room." She said

" What do you think our punishment is gonna be?" He asked

" I don't know but we're pretty much done for." She answered

" So what did your grandma say?" He asked

" Something about I should go back home…or did I say that? All I know is that she wanted me to stop avoiding you," Casey covered her mouth with her hand. "I did not just say that out loud."

" Yeah, you did. My grams told me the same." He said

" Well, how do you suppose we fix this?" She asked

" We can't. What's done is done." He said

" I meant, how do we fix us (He looked at her and raised his eyebrow, she swallowed her spit), that didn't come out right." She said

" I know what you meant. I guess we're fine. It's not like we're still avoiding each other, right?" He asked

" I guess so." She answered

The bus pulled up and they got on. It dropped them of at the depot. They stayed the night at a motel, and then got on the train until it reached their stop. They got off and walked home.

" I can't wait to get home." She said

" Eager are we? What, you got a hot date?" He laughed

" Shut up. I just want to be back." She said

" Me too." He said

(End of flashback)

And that's how they ended up back home.

Okay, I know that most of the chapter is a flashback but it would be confusing if they showed up together and I didn't explain how. Or maybe it wouldn't. Anyways, stay tuned for the next one.

Later,
