Chapter Seven: Visitor.

It had been two months since Casey had told Derek about her ungrateful relationship with Jacob, and Casey and Derek were going strong. There were sometimes where Casey would cry out of nowhere, because it reminded of what Jacob did to her, but Derek would always let her cry on his shoulder and would wait for her to be ready to talk about it.

Derek was at school with Sam waiting for their girlfriends before school started. Emily and Casey both have become the best of friends, and Casey was like Sam's little sister he always wanted. He always looked out for her, and he'd always be there when Derek and her got in fights. Casey was known to be Derek's girlfriend. Many were surprised that he had kept a girlfriend for more than a week, but they weren't surprised to see it was Casey that he was with.

"D, so how's Casey? I always see you with her, and boy do you look happier then when you were with other girls," Sam spoke at their locker.

"We're good, she's been doing better. She's not that paranoid or anything anymore. She says being around her is helping her, so it's good. And she makes me feel special. And say this to anyone, I'll beat the crap out of you," he warned as he glared at his best friend who was laughing.

"I wouldn't tell a soul, so quit worrying," Sam said as he reached for a box in his pocket. He took out a blue necklace and put it up to show Derek.

"This if for Em, for out eighth month anniversary gift. Good, or no?" He asked while Derek looked at it.

"She always loves your gifts, so she'll love it," he said as he looked around for Casey.

Ten minutes of waiting for Casey and Emily, Sam and Derek decided to walk towards their first class, when they hear Emily yelling for Casey.

"Casey!" Derek and Sam watched as Casey ran through the doors and continued to run down the hall, with Emily quickly behind her. They looked at each other, and then started running towards their girlfriends. They followed them into the gym, where Casey was yelling.

"No, I can't stay here now! What the fuck Em? He can't be here. I just got my life back on track with a great guy like Derek, and I finally overcame my fears, and he brings his-self here," tears were streaming down her face as she dropped to the floor sobbing.

"How did he even get out? He was suppose to be in jail, am I right?" she asked as she sat down next to her, trying to soothe her. Casey ignored the question and continued to bawl. Emily looked up to see Sam and Derek. Derek had a confused expression as well as Sam. She patted the spot next to her for Sam to sit down. And she pointed to Derek to comfort Casey.

Derek walked over to Casey and sat down next to her. He reached over and carried Casey and settled her on his lap. She knew instantly that it was Derek and wrapped her arms around his neck, and he instinctively wrapped his arms around her waist.

"Talk to me Case," Derek urged as he saw Emily trying to calm down, with Sam trying to also calm Emily down.

"Hhhe- he's here," was all she got out as more tears came tumbling down her beautiful face.

"Who's here," Derek asked dumbfounded.

"J…ja…Jacob" she choked out and he stiffened up instantly.

"WHAT?!" he roared as looked at her. Sam and Emily were just as mad as Derek was. Casey told Emily and Sam one night after a fight with Derek. They then understood why she was, the way she was.

"What happened," Derek asked as he rubbed her back. It took Casey a couple of minutes to be able to speak.

"I was getting ready for school, and then I heard the doorbell, and I thought it was Em coming to pick me up, so I continued to get dress. All of a sudden, Lizzie came running in the room. She said Jacob was downstairs, and that couldn't be right, since he was in jail. My mom doesn't know anything that happened in my past. Only that he and I broke up. Anyways, so I couldn't think right, Lizzie was trying to explain what was happening when my mom came in the room, telling me he's downstairs and to go downstairs and say hi. I didn't want to and tried to make an excuse, but she wouldn't let me," she sobbed out as she tried wiping her face. Derek continued to rub her back, while in his mind, he wanted to find Jacob, kill him, bring him back to life somehow, and then kill him again. Sam and Emily had similar thoughts as they waited for her to continue.

"So when I went downstairs he went up to me and tried to hug me, but I pushed away asking what he was doing here, and that I didn't want to see him, ever again. And he just said he still loved me, and he apologizes for everything, so then he tried kissing me, but I slapped him. He still was the same. He pushed me against the wall, and started kissing me. Sorry Derek, but anyways, I tried pushing off, and then he tried to come onto me again, when Lizzie saw this and yelled mom to come down and help with breakfast, and Jacob just glared at Liz for spoiling his fun. I thanked Liz with a nod when I heard Emily ring the doorbell. And my mom said to be home early, since Jacob was staying for dinner. So I definitely don't want to go home, but I don't have a choice. I was crying in the car while Emily tried to figure out what was happening, but all I said was Jacob, and she understood cause she saw the guy also. Because when I was trying to get out of the house, he came out the house and said 'Case baby, we'll talk about it later. I love you.'" She finished as she looked down at her shoes.

Derek's jaw was tightened, and his eyes were fierce. His hand was in a tight fist, that his knuckles were turning white.

"I'm going to kill him," he swore.

"And I'm helping," Sam put in looking just as mad as Derek. "Nobody hurts my baby sister."

"I appreciate what you guys want to do, but I don't think that's going to help. What am I going to do? I got to be home tonight for dinner with Satan," she said as she wiped a couple of more tears.

"You're definitely not going home tonight," Derek yelled. Casey looked at him like he was stupid.

"Oh, really, and what am I going to tell me mom? That I'm sleeping over? I tried that while we were in the car, she won't budge. I have to go tonight, and I don't like it," she yelled back.

"How about Derek, Sam, and I all go to dinner with us. You invite us, and Derek and Sam will get Jacob away from you. I will try to keep your mom distracted most of the time and help you out," Emily suggested as she reached for Casey's hand. "He won't hurt you anymore, because you got friends who won't let him." She moved from Sam and Casey did the same to hug Emily.

"Thanks Em, you the best," she whispered.

"Always," Emily whispered back. Casey let go of her and moved back into Derek.

"Okay, you guys can come, but you got to keep it low key. My mom doesn't know any history from us except that I went out with him and that we were serious," Casey said as the other three heads nodded.

"Alright, fine. Meet me at my locker after school, then we'll walk to my place." She said as she got up but Derek pulled her back down.

"You're going to class? It started ten minutes ago. Let's miss the class and go to the next," He suggested.

"Fine, but only one class we missing." She said. "But let's not stay here, I don't want to be here right now."

They all stood up and stared at each other, not knowing where exactly they wanted to go.

"How about the park a couple of blocks away from here. We have long block anyways, might as well spend the time at the park." Sam suggested and all nodded.

They got into Sam's car and drove to the park in silence. When they got to the park, Emily and Sam thought they'd give Casey and Derek some chance to speak, so they walked towards the slide.

Casey and Derek walked towards the picnic table, and Derek sat on top of the table, and Casey sat in between his legs. He reached for her hands and entwined it together.

"It's going to be okay, you know that right?" Derek asked as he put his head between her neck and shoulder.

"I want to believe it, but I'll see it when I believe it," Casey said sadly.

"Case, have I ever let anything happen to you these past months?" Derek asked.

She sighed and turned her head towards him, "No."

"Do you think I'd let anything happen to you?"

"No," Casey said seeing Derek move towards her. She did the same.

"So don't worry, I will be there for you. And Sam will be there to help," Derek assured her.

"Promise? Promise you won't let him hurt me?" She asked tears starting to form in her eyes. Derek reached and caressed her cheek.

He leaned in with only inches away from her lips.

"Always." And with that he smashed his lips with hers. She put her arms around his neck and opened her mouth, as he put his tongue in her mouth and dominated it.

They continued for a couple of minutes till they had to move away for air. They had their foreheads together, with their eyes close.

"Case?" Derek called out nervously.

"MMM?" she responded with her eyes still closed. Her body was aching for him, just the way his body was doing the same.

"I… I lo-," he tried to speak but was too nervous. He took a deep breath. "I love you Case, and I know you may not have the same feelings as I do to you, but I can't keep my feelings in and I want you to know you're not like other girls. You're beautiful, you're smart, and you don't take anything-,"

"You, know you talk way too much," Casey cut him off and then gave a peck on his lips. "I love you too."

Derek couldn't believe what she just said. She loves me back. He smiled a true big happy smile, and not his usual trademark smirk.

"I love you Case, I'm never letting you go," He said looking into her eyes.

"Promise?" She asked smiling.

"I promise."
