" Where have you two been? We were worried sick. We thought the worst." Nora said
" Well, Nora thought the worst. I knew you guys would come home just fine." George said
" So, does that mean that we're off the hook?" Casey asked
" Nice try, but you ran away from home leaving your younger, underage siblings alone because you were trying to avoid each other, that's…that's…" George said
" It wasn't the right thing to do. You should've just talked it over. I'm sure it would not have been so hard." Nora said
" We did talk it over and we're fine, really mom." Casey said
" Yeah, what she said." Derek said
" Well, you guys are grounded for a month." George said
" Don't you think that's a little too much?" Nora questioned
" Not at all." George said
" Well, I do. Until I can think of a really good punishment, you guys are on probation." Nora said
" Well, it's been real, but I'm tired." Derek said
" Yeah, me too. Night mom. Night George." Casey said
"Good night." Both parents said
Casey and Derek headed upstairs to their own room. Both teenagers had trouble falling asleep. Casey felt like they didn't talk about everything that was supposed to be said and Derek didn't want to fall asleep again because every time he did, he'd think about Casey. Casey in a wedding dress kissing him in a tux, Casey with a very round stomach leaning her head on his shoulder, Casey having a tea party with a young girl and the girl (who addressed Derek as her father) asked him to come join them, every dream always had Casey in it. Derek couldn't take it anymore, he needed air.
He walked down the stairs and out of the back door. There he saw Casey lying in the grass watching the stars. Since he didn't want to interrupt her, he went back inside. He went to the kitchen and got a glass of water. A few seconds later, Casey came in.
" Couldn't sleep, huh?" Casey asked
" Yeah, you?" Derek asked back
" Oh, I come out here every morning to lay in the grass and look at the stars." Casey said, sarcastically
Derek laughed.
" What?" Casey smiled
" Nothing, I was just thinking." Derek said
" About what?" Casey asked
" Umm…well, nothing that you'd be interested in." Derek said
" Try me." Casey said
" Well, it has to do with me and a hot girl and…" Derek started
" Don't even finish that. I don't think I want to know anymore." Casey said
" Okay." Derek said
"This has been fun but we really should get to bed." Casey said
She started up the stairs, while Derek stayed in the kitchen.
" Good night." Derek said
" Aren't you coming?" Casey asked
" I can't go to sleep." Derek said
" Why?" casey asked
" Because then I'll wind up thinking about something that I don't think I should be thinking about." Derek said
" Which is?" casey asked
" Something." Derek said
" You're not gonna tell me, are you?" Casey asked
" Can't." Derek answered
" Well, I'll see you tomorrow." Casey said
" Uh-huh." Derek mumbled
Casey walked up the stairs finding herself a little worried about Derek, which is so unlike her. By the time she got to her room, she'd forgot about Derek and was thinking about what she was going to wear to school tomorrow.
Derek, on the other hand, couldn't stop thinking about her. He tried to get away from her and clear his head, but there she was. She was everywhere and if he wasn't careful, he might end up doing something that he'd regret.
Well, uhh…there's the next chapter. I bope you liked it. And hey, guess what he's starting to like her…awww. Anyways, did you guys see the new episode about Derek being a prefect. It was really good and I can't wait until next Saturday to see another new episode.
