Sorry for the late update!

Chapter 8

OMG. I can't stand this. I can't stand this at all. I just woke up crying last night because I had a dream that Derek was dead. Derek woke me up, with a really concerned look on his face. "Casey! CASEY!" He shook me as he spoke.

"Derek!" I grabbed him and hugged him tightly.

"It's okay Case. What's wrong, what did you dream?"

"I-I dreamed that you were dead." I said, and started crying again.

"Casey, it's okay, I'm not dead, it was just a dream." He pulled me for at least an hour until I fell back asleep! He stayed the whole night with me!

In the morning when I woke up, he was still there, arms around me, and my head was resting on his chest with my arms around his neck. I stayed there and thought for a while. There was only one thing I could think about- how well our bodies fit together, and my head on his chest. It was almost as if they were formed together.

I closed my eyes again, and dozed off again, until I woke up to screaming. It was Mom. "DEREK VENTURI AND CASEY MCDONALD! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING?"

It took me a minute, having just woken up, to process what she had just said. Derek, the world's heaviest sleeper, had slept through Mom's screams. I shook him. "Derek. Derek?" After 3 or 4 more shakes, he woke up.

"Five more minutes." He said, and pulled me back to his chest. "DEREK!" Mom screamed again. He shot up. "NORA!?" he shouted. "WHAT THE HECK?"

"I am not going to scream anymore, I just want to know what is going on and why Derek is in your bed." Mom said, a little less than calmly.

"I had a nightmare last night, and Derek woke me up. He just was helping me fall back asleep and I guess he fell asleep too."

"And you woke up like that." Mom said flatly.

"Yeah."

"Okay," she said, and walked out.

----------------------------

I CANNOT. BELIEVE. THIS. Mom and George are sending me to BOARDING SCHOOL!

I can't believe they are this freaked out about me and Derek. I mean, sure they are worried about us, and caught us in a kind of compromising position, but still! I leave tomorrow! And I won't be back for two months! This is ridiculous.

(I actually don't have an entry today, just wanted to complain to you, diary.)

--------------------------------

I am about to leave. Last night, after I finished complaining to you, Derek came in my room, and he was pacing around. I was confused, and I said "What Derek?"

He looked at me with a blazing look in his eyes. " Case, I just…" he cut himself off and kissed me. Hard. I could feel the passion in his kiss. I finally pulled away.

"Derek, what are you doing? I have waited a month for this, and you decide to do this now? Right when I am about to leave?"

"Well, can't you wait for me?"

"Derek, I will be gone for two months. That is impossible."

"Well fine then!"

"FINE!" Derek slammed the door, and I started crying.

I cried for about an hour, and then I finally fell asleep.

Oh sorry, George is calling to help pack the car, I will pack you in a second.

-------------------------------

"That's it. That's the end." Edwin said.

"Yeah, and Casey left a month and a half ago, so what is the plan?"

"You want them to get back together?"

"Yeah, Casey must have crammed the diary into the drawer I found it in and gone down and forgotten about it. We have to save Casey and Derek."
