Derek's POV
Casey had been acting weird all week, and it was driving me crazy. Every time I asked her what was wrong she said nothing, but every time I touched her she freaked out. I knew something was up, and I was going to find out one way or another.
We were in her room after dinner. Our parents thought we had a project for school, but that was just a cover up. She was sitting in her computer chair and I was laying on her bed.
"Casey, I know something is wrong. Why won't you tell me?" I beg her.
"Everything is fine." She lied. She has always been a horrible lier. She got all fidgety and nervous, not to mention she always turned a little red.
"I know you are lying. You have to tell me. I can't take it, seeing you like this." I began, "You freak out every time I touch you, you are loosing sleep and eating the strangest things." I finished remembering the ketchup she had wanted with her cake the other night. I shook the image out of my head and looked back at the girl I loved.
"Think about it Derek. I'm a girl. I eat weird things, have to pee constantly, and I get sick a lot." She yelled at me. It didn't make any since at all what she was saying. I sat there in silence for a moment. She got up and walked over to the bed and sat down beside me. "And, I've gained some weight." She said much softer, picking up my hand and laying in on her stomach. That's when it suddenly clicked.
"No. No, no, no. This can NOT be happening." I started to freak out.
"But it is." She said in a small voice.
"Okay, we can handle this." I said, trying to calm myself down.
"No, this is going to destroy everything Derek!" She started to freak out now. "I can't go to college, everyone at school is going to call me names, and my mom is going to hate me!" She started to cry.
"Not to mention our that they are going to find out about us." I added, trying to console her.
"No. They are never going to find out." Casey said through her tears.
"How? Are you going to tell them that it's someone else's kid? That is so wrong Casey." There was no way I was not going to take responsibility for my own child.
"That's exactly what I am going to do. No one is going to have to know." She told me, clinging to me for dear life.
"We have to tell them about us. It's the right thing to do." I said. I was wondering when I became the responsible one.
"No Derek. I don't care what you think. This is my body, and my child. I will do what I think is best." She yelled at me.
"It's my child to! As they say, it takes two to tango." I said using the corny line my dad always told me about having sex and being responsible about it. "And do you really think that it's best for it to grow up living a lie?" I was holding back tears now.
"Well if you don't like the way I am doing it then maybe I just wont have it at all." She said bluffing. I knew she would never get an abortion, it was not like her at all.
"You are just bluffing, come on Case, we can only get through this together." I said grabbing her hand.
"I don't know Derek. Maybe it's best not to have it. We could just move on with our lives and pretend that nothing ever happened between us." My heart instantly fell to the ground so to speak.
"Are you saying were over?" This time I couldn't hold it back and a few tears escaped.
"We have to be Derek, it's what's best." She then stood up and left the room. I had no idea where she went, but I was left alone in the room of the girl I loved. She had just left me, in both terms of the word, and I couldn't take it. I took off to my room to be alone.
Casey's POV
I hated having to do that to Derek, but it was what was best for the baby. He was right, I was bluffing about getting an abortion, I would never do that. But there was no way I was going to tell my mom and George about us. That would just make things to complicated.
Once I left the room I made my way to Lizzie's room, her door was open so I just went in. She was at her computer working on a report.
"Hey Liz, can I talk to you?" I asked closing the door.
"Yeah, sure. What's up?" She said turning away from her computer to face me as I sat on her bed.
"I just ended it with Derek." I said, letting a few tears fall to the floor.
"What? Why?" She was now sitting by me and trying to console me just as Derek had been a few minutes ago.
"You have to promise not to tell anyone, okay?" I made her double pinky swear on our grandmothers grave. It was a thing we had done ever since we were little. "I'm going to have a baby." I said, not meeting her eyes. I couldn't take the disappointment that I knew was going to be there.
"Oh, Casey, I'm so sorry!" She said embracing me in a hug. "Why did you break it off then?" She asked a few minutes later with confusion.
"Because, I need to do this alone, and mom and George can't know that it's Derek's." I said wiping the tears from my face.
"Casey, you need to do the right thing." She said, just as Derek had earlier.
"What if what I'm doing is the right thing?" I said defending myself.
"But what if it's not. You need to tell the truth, it will be better in the long run." She said, sounding a lot like my mom.
"No, it's not. I know what I'm doing! Would you please quite judging me. You are just as bad as he is!" I yelled running out of the room and into my room, which was now empty, to be alone.
A/N: I told you it was sad! I would love to hear from you! Please please please review!
