You Only Hold Me Up Like
This Chapter Thirteen
My Heart On A Sleeve
----------------
The smell in the air made him want to gag. It was terrible, crisp, but had an old dead smell to it. It was bitter and musty, like something you would find in an old womans home, sinking into the walls, and the furniture.
Roses.
He hated that smell.
It was the smell of death, and Casey had hated that smell too.
She would of hated this.
All these people in their uncomfortable suits sweating in the heat crying over her. Casey had celebrated life, embraced it and grasped it by two horns. And this was not right.
None of it was right.
But he didn't say anything. He just sat there in his chair, in his uncomfortable suit and pink shirt, and felt the happiness in his own heart.
He was never more greatful in his life.
He looked over at Laine. She smiled at him, and he smiled back.
He kissed her hand.
She glowed.
She didn't have all the time in the world, but Casey had given her two new kidneys and ten more years to live.
Ten more years with Derek.
Ten years.
And best of all, Casey had given it willingly.
She had wrote it down in her diary, they had found out after the surgery, that Casey had wished them to Laine
.
The service ended.
Derek smiled as he took Laine's hand and they went for a walk. The wind was blowing in her hair.
Derek was in remission.
Laine was in good spirits.
And the world had never seemed so beautiful.
"That was good." Laine said certaintly. "Casey, I think would of liked that"
Derek looked at her.
"Ok, your right-" Laine smiled. Derek was so happy that he was able to see that smile. "She would of hated that"
"Yes"
"But it was good for your parents, Lizzie and Ed...Marti"
"Yes-" Derek smiled.
"Woah-" She said as he took her into his arms. "What are you doing"
"Holding you. Enjoying this"
"At your step sisters funeral?" Laine smiled, but she didn't protest.
"Were not going to hide anymore, Laine. Were not going to be scared. Were gonna do what we want when we want-" And he kissed her.
And she kissed him back.
And they danced their prom dance that they never got to have.
"Didn't the roses smell beautiful, Derek"
Derek looked into her eyes and smiled. "Yes, Laine. They smelled wonderfull"
