Title: Because I Never Think of You
Author: Scarred
A/N: Okay here's a little bit of Derek POV for you all. Thanks to all of my lovely reviewers! You guys are great!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When Derek's best friend, Sam, had started going out with his lame stepsister Casey, he really hadn't understood the whole thing. Besides the fact that it clearly and absolutely went against the no siblings (and yes step counts) clause of the man code, it was…Casey. Neurotic, compulsive, grade grubbing, klutzilla, Casey. And well, Sam was his cool best friend. His cool best friend, who usually had impeccable taste in girls, meaning of course that he had the exact same taste as Derek. Or at least up until then he had.
But of course Sam and Casey broke up and the world made sense again. And Derek moved on. Not that he had counted the days of their relationship up until its ultimate demise, questioning what it was that they saw in each other, or anything. And he definitely didn't care what they had always been laughing about, as if the two of them had an entire list of inside jokes that he'd been purposely excluded from. And naturally he never listened in on their arguments, wondering which one would be their last.
And of course he never hoped for that. No. Because what did Derek care who Sam dated? Or Casey for that matter? Like he didn't have anything better to do than sit around and obsess over his overbearing stepsister's love life. Derek was generally too concerned with his own for that anyways. If he wanted, he could have a new girl every week, and most times he did. Life was good.
So of course he was way too wrapped up in his own stuff to care when Sam and Casey finally did break up. He didn't even notice how she cried herself to sleep each night for two weeks. And he certainly never heard the sobbing that she had half-heartedly attempted to muffle with her pillow. And naturally he never thought about going in to make sure she was okay. He certainly never ever came close, with his fist hovering over her door, but never quite able to knock. Because what did Derek care? It was just Casey and he was way too busy to even notice anyways.
But still… As much as Derek bugged, picked on, and personally victimized Casey, he still hated to see her so upset. Or at least he would have, if he'd noticed, that is. He told himself that it wasn't really even about Casey though. He just hated to see a girl cry, that was all. Like most guys, the very thought of a crying female caused him to freeze up and filled him with an overwhelming desire for it to stop.
Of course Derek didn't care about Casey. He just didn't want to deal with her. That was all.
A/N: So I can't decide if this should continue, or if it was simply more of a multi-POV oneshot. Any thoughts?
