Life with Derek
I own: NOTHING!
Coming Home
Chapter 4
Turning the car off and unbuckling was one thing, but actually getting out, was a completely different thing Casey learned as she sat in the doctor office parking lot. "Come on Casey, you can do this! You have to do this." She said trying to convince herself. "It's not a big deal. All you have to do is-"
"Casey??" Someone said as they tapped on the cars window. "What are you doing?"
"Lily!" Casey said greeting the elderly woman as she got out of the car. "How are you?"
"I am doing pretty good today. Where's our boy?" She said with a proud smile.
"Um, I believe he is at home." Casey replied a little confused. She had just assumed Alex told his mother about the break up already considering how close they were.
"You believe?"
"Well, I…" Casey started. "I stayed at my Mom's house last night so I am not positive where Alex is right now."
Lily's smile was now a frown, and Casey could tell she was getting upset, not wanting to be the one to tell Lily that her son was a lying cheat, she continued, "My sister Lizzie, you meant her last Christmas, well she needed help with a school project, so I told her I would pull all-nighter with her." Seeing Lily's smile return Casey decided she might as well finish strong. "And I was just on my way to meet Alex for a late breakfast." She said with a fake smile.
After a little more small talk, and a quick hug goodbye, Casey got back in her car. 'There is no way; I am going in there after that.' She thought as she put the car in reverse and backed out of the parking space.
