I'm really sorry that it's a day late but I went to church and then I when to the museum and then I came home and watched movies until I got tired. Then I went to sleep and when I woke up it was really late and I was being lazy…again so I didn't update. So here is chapter 13. Enjoy.

The rest of the afternoon was spent packing for grandma's house (hey I love going to my grandparent's house because they have a pool and a trampoline and they spoil me like crazy). At around 6-ish, the MacDonald-Venturi family got into the family car and drove to Ottawa. It was about 11 pm when they arrived at Derek's Grandmother's house ( I just found out that it took almost four hours to get from Toronto to Ottawa). The younger kids knocked on the door and she answered, letting them in. She came outside to help the rest of the family bring the bags into her house. When the kids were settled, George and Nora said goodbye to their kids and left.

Upstairs, Derek, Edwin and Marti went into their rooms. Casey and Lizzie were going to stay in the guest bedroom . When Derek's grandma (I'm gonna call her Ann…it's simple and easy to remember…lol) called the kids down for a midnight snack, it was quiet…too quiet.

Ann spoke up, "So, what do you guys want to do this weekend?"

"I've gotta practice for Hockey."

"I've gotta practice for Soccer."

"I've gotta study for my English finals."

"I've gotta start my Science project."

"I've gotta perfect my kitty meow."

They all said at once.

"Okay. Well, I'm here if you need me." Ann said

In return, all she heard was more silence. She sighed.

After they ate, Derek and Lizzie went into the living room to practice (I'm gonna imagine that Ann's living room is as big as my grandparent's). Casey brought her books into the library to study (umm, yeah they have a library in their house too). Edwin went into his room to work on his project and Marti stood in front of the full-length mirror in her room and meowed.

At 1 am, Derek was on the couch watching TV, while Lizzie was asleep on the couch with her head on his lap. Edwin had fallen asleep on his room floor and Marti was rolled up tight in her covers on her bed. Casey had finished studying and went to go find Lizzie. She went down to the living room where she found Lizzie sleeping and Derek not.

"You're not sleeping?" Casey asked

"Why would I be?" Derek asked back

" Because it's almost one thirty in the morning." Casey answered

"Well, why aren't you asleep?" Derek asked

"Because I'm not." Casey said

"Okay, can you stop talking now, I'm trying to watch this." Derek said

"You..Ugh…fine." Casey said

Casey went over to the couch, picked Lizzie up and brought her upstairs to the guest bed. Then, she came back downstairs and sat on the couch, Derek stiffened up and moved farther away from her.

"What?" Casey asked

" Nothing." Derek answered

"I…" Casey started

"Yeah yeah, I know, you don't believe me."Derek interrupted

"So, why don't you tell me the truth so I can believe you." Casey said

"I just can't, okay, not now." Derek said

"Then when?" Casey asked

"I don't know." Derek answered

Casey sighed.

"Why do you have to make this so difficult?" Casey asked

"I'm not being difficult, you are." Derek said

"I can't believe you just said that." Casey said

"I can't believe you're so surprised I did."Derek said

"Ugh, I hate you, you know that." Casey said

"I wish I could say the same to you." Derek said

"Huh?" Casey asked

"Nothing." Derek said

"Just tell me what you mean, it can't be that bad!" Casey said

" Goddamnit Casey, I love you!" Derek said

"What?!" Casey was in shock

"You heard me." Derek said

"I..Oh..Wow…I mean, I didn't know." Casey said

"Apparently." Derek said

"Umm, Derek?" Casey asked

"Yeah." Derek answered

"I love you too." Casey said

Hey, mucho Dasey in this chapter. Guess what people, there are not many chapters left and I don't think I'll be making a sequel unless, of course you guys want me to. Well, I'll type more soon.

Laterz,
