Too Much Drama

Chapter 5

Too Much Pressure

Casey-

God! Crappy Sam! He completely hung up on something was soooo his fault! What a jerk! God, why don't I ever cuss? Ok, Casey. We are getting off subject here... Right. Sam... I cannot believe it was Sam! Sam! My boyfriend! The person that know me best! WHY?! I am so gonna call him again...

Once again, I dialed his number carefully. I hope he picks up again this time.

"Hello?"

The voice sounded like Sam again.

"Hi. Is this Sam?"

"Maybe..."

The voice sounded shaky, like last time. It was him...

"Sam I know it's you! Just tell me why you said those things!"

"Ok... But I really know you don't want to hear this."

His voice was still shaky and sounded like he was about to choke. I was sure he was swaeting also.

"It was Emily. She told me to. She completely pressured me. I didn't know what to do!"

WHAT?! WHEN will this EVER END?!!!?!

"EMILY?! You also have got to be lying! She is my best friend! She is the only one who doesn't think I'm weird, besides you. She- she..."

I was sobbing again. I quickly hung up. I flew back onto my cozy and cumphy pillows. I put one over my head. I yelled, but it didn't sound like yelling.

"WHY?! WHY IS ALL HAPPENING?! WHY ME!!!???"

Apparently, Derek heard me, surpisingly.

Derek?

I looked up. The pillow fell as I rose.

"You knew? Did you know?"

I was completely frantic. I no longer had anyone to trust. I felt alone, like I was a huge outsider. I couldn't think of words to say.

"Look, Case."

Derek's voice sounded warm, and safe. If only he could always stay that way. And if only I could stay witj him. Forever.

"I didn't know who told Sam to say you were pieces of crap, or why. But, I know now."

I looked up.

DEREK!!!

"CASEY! Don't get mad! Please! I also wanted to know these things! Punish me for evesdropping, but I did it for a good thing and reason."

I nodded, showing that I understood him well. Derek sat down next to me.

"Remember, you cannot tell anyone about how nice I'm being. Ok?"

"I remember."

I said quietly, almost not being able to hear myself. Once again, his hands were touching mine. I felt safe.

"But, Derek, we still have to know Emily did this. And why she isn't saying anything. I dunno if I can handle anymore of this drama."

"I know me too."

Suddenly, the phone rang. George ran into the room.

"Derek, the phone is for you."

He looked curiously at me and Derek, and I felt him let go of my hands. I felt mad, but I understand why, somehow.

Derek-

I answered the phone, hoping it was Kendra, my new girl friend.

"Hey."

"Hey bo, it Kendra."

"Hey babe. What up?"

I leaned onto my bed. I felt extremely relaxed after helping Casey.

See mind, I can be a good person!

"Look, Derek, we are over. You have bad breath, and you suck like crap."

She hung up. My life is so over. And so is Casey's.

- So! I liked that! The good thing was that it was LONNGGG! Which is great! Can y'all believe it was Emily? And I don't know how to spell bo, which means boy friend in French. And I thought the breath thing was a little funny. Ok, not really. But, it was a real good chappie! REVIEW and I'll love you forever.

Much love;;
