Sam also gets Derek to do the same. And their feelings start to come out. Okay? Okay. Hope you still like it though! Enjoy!

Chapter Three.

After Sam and Derek's talk, Derek started acting different towards Casey. He was still his asshole self towards Casey, but he'd sometimes be nice to her or compliment her.

After school, Derek was talking to Linda, near his locker with Sam. Linda was one of the popular cheerleaders. He wasn't listening to anything she was saying though, because he was too concentrated in Casey talking to Max, a football player that was into her. He was all red, just at the thought of them going together, and Casey happy with someone else but him.

What are you talking about? She's your stepsister! Knock out of it. She's not interested in you, so be interested in Martha, or Linda, whatever her name is, he shouted to himself. He kept fighting with himself about his feelings for Casey.

"So Derek, are you going to the party tonight?" Linda asked, trying to be flirtatious.

"Nah, I have to baby sit my baby sister, Marti." Derek said making an excuse that way he wouldn't have to ask her to go with him.

She pouted and stepped closer to Derek. "Well how about I help you out." Trying to say it in a sexy voice.

"Uh, well she always wants me to herself. Sorry, maybe next time." And with that he walked away with Sam. Sam just shook his head.

"That's the 11th girl you turned down. D, what's up with you?"

"Sam, you know what's up with me. Now shut up." Derek said staring at Casey and Max talk. Sam looked where Derek was looking.

"Why don't you just tell her then man." Sam said walking to the front towards their cars.

"You know I'm not going to say anything. I told you that already. Now will you lay off. I know she doesn't like me… she's into Max." Derek said with a glare. Sam just started laughing.

"D, you're so jealous."

"Shut up!" Derek yelled out as he got into his car. Sam just laughed and got in the car as well.

"Whatever man, I'll see you later, I got to go help my mom with some things."

"Alright Sam take it easy." And with that he watched Sam leave the parking lot.

Derek waited for Casey in the car for a couple of minutes then got angry because she took so long. He got out of the car to look for her and found her with dear old Max again. He felt himself get angry as he walked towards them.

"So how about we go to the movies? Say Friday?" Max asked nervously.

"Say no." Derek said as Max turned around and Casey too. Casey turn her smile into a glare.

"DEREK. Leave me alone."

"Sorry princess we got to go now. Bye, bye now Max." he said.

"Later Case." Max said and hurried off.

"Ugh! Why do you have to be such a pain in the ass! Leave me alone and go have fun with one of your bimbos." She spitted out as she stormed to the car. Derek was angry about what she just said. He followed her footsteps and as she opened the door, he closed and shoved her to the door and he pushed himself close to her.

"First of all, I don't date that much people anymore, so shut up. Second, I'm tired of waiting for your ass when all you do is talk to Max, when all he wants to do is get in your pants." Derek put out, and Casey shoved him back.

"Shut up! You don't know what you're talking about! He wouldn't do that… HE'S NOT YOU!" She yelled back, then instantly regretted saying that. She looked at him, and she saw hurt all across his face, then turned into anger again.

"Max is a player. You may think I'm worse than him, believe me I'm not. He may have been talking sweet bullshit to you, but you don't hear what he says in the locker room, princess. You don't hear him being cocky that he's getting some from the grade grubber. You don't hear what he wants to do with you. And you especially don't know what he did to other girls. Did you know?" Derek said, his eyes so fierce. "Well obviously you don't since you continue to talk to him. Well let me tell you Case. He goes around screwing girls for the hell of it. You think I'm lying. Go ahead, I'm warning you now." Casey was just in shock, but shook it off telling herself that he was lying like he always does.

She got in the car and Derek sighed and followed footsteps. Once he started driving, Casey began her yelling.

"You're a damn liar. You say all this crap that way I don't go out with your friends or anyone of the guys at school. Tell me why?" Casey asked fuming.

"Because who would go out with you?" Derek said before he could actually realize what he was said. He instantly regretted it and knew it was a real low blow.

Casey sat there, shocked and hurt on her face. He stopped the car on a stop sign and he turned towards her and saw that a couple of tears were dropping down her face. He felt like an idiot. He didn't mean to make her cry.

"Case… I'm sor-" Derek tried to apologize, but Casey cut him off.

"You know what, save it. I don't need your bullshit of an apology, because you're right. All your friends date trashy hoes and bimbos like the girls you date. And you know what, I don't need whatever you want to say. I may be a stuck up bitch as all of you guys see me as, but you know what fuck it." Casey yelled with tears streaming down her face.

Derek just sat there till he heard the guy behind him honk making him take his leg off the brake and onto the gas. He didn't mean to say it, but it came out. He knew he messed up big time.

"I didn't mean to say that." Derek tried again.

"Fuck it. I don't need to hear you." Casey said crossed arms and looking out the window.

It was a quiet car ride after that. When he parked the car in the driveway, Casey got out of the car and ran into the house and into her room. Derek tried to go after her, but she locked her door and blasted her music up. Derek tried knocking, but she ignored it. Lizzie came up the stairs to find Derek banging his head on the wall.

"What did you do this time?" Lizzie asked in her bored tone.

"Something real stupid. Leave me alone Liz." Derek said walking to his room to lie down. A couple of hours later, he heard Nora call the children down for dinner. He sighed and walked down the stairs. They all situated at their same spots, except for Casey.

"What's taking Casey so long?" Nora started to get worried.

"Derek what did you do?" George accused. Derek just sat there and continued to eat.

"I'll go get Casey." Lizzie said as she stood from her chair and went upstairs.

After five minutes, they heard Casey's music stop and saw Lizzie descending downstairs holding Casey's hand. Derek looked at Casey's face and saw her eyes were blood shot red. He felt like crap. He didn't want to hurt Casey's feelings anymore. He vowed in his mind he wouldn't be so much of an asshole anymore towards her.

"Casey? Are you okay?" Nora asked concerned about her daughter.

"I'm fine mom, I just don't feel like eating."

"Honey you haven't ate yet though."

"I'm fine, I'll just go get a drink." She stood up from her chair and walked into the kitchen. Derek followed her gaze and then spoke.

"Hey Case… about what I said earlier. You know I didn't mean it. I didn't mean to hurt you so badly and I didn't mean to make you cry." Derek said trying to get Casey to talk to him, but she just looked at him, and then turned back to the fridge.

"Case, please, speak to me." Derek begged. Casey just poured her drink, drank it then washed her glass.

"Look I'm sorry okay? I didn't mean for my words to offend you. Any guy would be happy to be with you." Derek said sincerely.

What crap was what all Casey kept repeating in her mind. She didn't want to believe any lies he was saying. She didn't want to be hurt anymore. Sam was so wrong. He didn't care about me. All he cares about is making fun of me, and hurting me. He doesn't care about anyone but himself.

Casey finished cleaning her cup then went into the living room, telling the family she was going upstairs because she was really tired. Derek groaned and ran a hand through his hair. I seriously screwed up.

It was late that night and both Casey and Derek couldn't sleep. Casey couldn't get her mind off of what Derek said. It kept repeating in her mind. Who would go out with you? She three things around her room, crying her heart out. Why can he just be tolerable to me? Why can't he just act around me like he would act with Lizzie or Marti? It's because you want him to be more then just stepbrother. You want him to be the one you want to be with. Because you know he's the one you can't have. That night she cried herself to sleep.

Derek crept into her room hoping she wouldn't wake up, or yell at him. He stared at her at the sleeping figure, the object of his affection. He looked at the one girl he truly wanted to be with, but never could have. He loved the way she would blush when something embarrassing happens. Or when she would stomp around and yell at him. He thought it was cute when she got all red and heated when she was angry with him. Despite the adorable ways she was when she was upset or annoyed, what he loved most was her compassion for the ones she loves. Derek reminisced about the time she grade grubbed for him in English class when he needed just one point. She's never given up on anyone. Once you were on her good side, you were always in good care no matter how much you screw up.

Derek pushed Casey a little to wake her up. All he got was a groan. He sighed and sat on the side of her bed and shoved her again a little harder this time. She hit her pillow and sat up on her bed. She turned to look at Derek and glared at him.

"What do you want?" Her voice husky and fierce.

"To apologize, and for you to accept my apology." Derek said sincerely.

"Sorry, but you don't get everything you want." Casey snapped out.

"I sure as hell don't" He mumbled lowly, hoping Casey didn't just hear that.

"What do you mean by that? Yes you do. What Derek wants, Derek gets," Casey recited Derek's very own words.

Crap.

"Nothing, don't worry about it. Just hear me out. I didn't mean for me to put it out like that. I'm not saying you're ugly, 'cause you're not. You're alright," trying to hide his true feelings. Really you're beautiful.

"Why? Why do you have to always make me feel so low? Why do you always have to make me feel like crap? What did I ever do to you? Ever since I moved in it's like I'm a pain in your ass. What the hell is your problem?" Casey said tears falling down her face.

"I… I don't know. I don't know how to act nice to you. We always fought," Derek said.

"Then let's just leave it like that. You fight with me, and I end up hating you, you end up hating me." Casey said lying in her bed and turning her back towards him. Derek felt like a knife ran through his heart. She hates me? She thinks I hate her?

"Is that how you feel about me? You really hate me?"

"I don't hate you, I'm just tired of us going at it and you making me cry."

"I'm sorry." Derek said lowering his head.

"Yeah, okay whatever." Casey said and lied back down on her bed. Derek stood up from her bed and walked to the door, but stopped, not turning around to face her. "Why do you suddenly care about my feelings? You never did once." Casey mumbled but Derek heard her loud and clear.

"I never hated you. Far from it, so never doubt it" and with that he walked into his room leaving her in her thoughts.
