I do not own life with Derek

Derek looked at Casey's lifeless body and sobbed. "Casey! Wake up. Please." Casey didn't stir. Picking Casey he up, he cradled her in his arms. He then did the only thing that he could, he called his parents. "Nora?"

"What is it Derek?"

"Ummm something really bad happened."

"Unless it's a death then I don't want to hear about it."

"Casey….she ummm went and slept in the rain last night. I found her in the picnic area. She …she. Oh god….." Derek started sobbing harder.

"Derek is she ok? Is she safe?"

"She died in my arms Nora."

"When?"

"a few minutes ago."

"I'm on my way."

As Derek hung up the phone he looked at Casey. He sat there crying until he heard Nora pull up. Even though she could see no use, Derek insisted they take her to the hospital. He had a shred of hope.

The doctors checked her over and shook their heads. She was alive but barely/ they predicted her death within the end of the day. Exhausted, Nora insisted that he was too emotionally shocked to stay here. She took him home. When he walked in he saw four heads shoot up, hope evident in their eyes. Nora shook her head and tears welled up in their eyes. Nora ushered Derek into his room and closed the door. Derek sat and stared at the wall. He remembered all the times he and Casey were in here, fighting or just talking.

Slamming the door open Casey stalked into Derek's room. "You Jerk! Give me my CD now."

"Who says I have it?"

"I know you have it. Just please give it back."

"Why should I?"

"Because I'm asking you nicely to PLEASE GIVE IT BACK"

"Awww does wittle Casey want her cd back?" Derek turned to get the cd. When he turned back he was greeted with Casey's hand flying across his face.

Derek walked into Casey's room to see her on her bed crying. Concerned, he walked over and sat next to her. "What's wrong case?"

"What's wrong? "Whats wrong! You ruined my life Derek. You ruined the only reputation I had at that school. I won't be able to show my face there ever again"

"I'll fix it case. I promise. Just please stop crying. You're too pretty to be crying"

Back at the hospital

Casey lay on the bed motionless. Derek had snuck out and went to the hospital and crept into Casey's room. He fell asleep holding her hand. Four hours after Derek got there, her heart stopped. Hearing the erratic beeping the doctors rushed in and tried to bring her back. Her heart started but very faintly. He started remembering his and Casey's life together again.

Casey came down to the dinner table to find Sam had been invited to eat over. Smiling she sat across from him. They played footsie. Looking under the table Derek had seen what they were doing. Wanting it to stop he kicked Sam and Casey's foot. Looking up he saw Casey and Sam glaring at him. Throwing his napkin down in disgust he stormed upstairs. In an act of rare kindness she went up to see if she could help. When she opened his door, he was staring at the wall. When she walked over to him, he turned around and pulled her into a hug.

After the shower adventure Derek lifted Casey and stepped out of the shower. Casey wrapped her legs around his waist and kissed him. When Derek responded, she made the kiss deeper. Derek pushed Casey against the wall and took her there. Later on he put her into the bed and made slow sweet love to her. Afterwards Casey took control. Casey had just awakened Derek and was about to go answer the door, when Derek picked her up and threw her on the bed. He had just taken off Casey's shirt when Edwin and Lizzie walked in.

After waiting 9 hours for Casey, Derek went in search of her. He threw on a raincoat and ran outside. He checked everywhere. When he realized he didn't check the picnic area he ran off in that direction. He stopped shirt when he saw Casey shivering uncontrollably on the ground. When he got closer he saw she was unconscious. He stooped down and cradled her in his arms. He hurriedly walked back to the rv. When he got inside he took Casey to the bathrrom and filled the tub with hot water. While it was filling up he removed the wet articles from Casey's body. He stopped the water when it reached the desired amount and slowly put Casey into the tub. He slowly washed her hair and rinsed away the grime. He then washed her body and rinsed her off. He took her out and wrapped her in a towel. He gently put her into the bed and crawled in beside her. Now that she was safe he drifted off to sleep.

When Derek awoke he awoke to Casey shivering like crazy. Her body was jolting. He tried to wake her up. "Casey…Casey..wake up" finally Casey opened her eyes. "I'm cold Derek?"

"It's ok. You'll get warmer."

"Derek I lied. I do love you."

"I know Casey."

"ok. I love you Derek" she started to close her eyes.

"Casey stay with me."

"It's warm over there Derek."

"Casey come on please." Tears started falling from Derek's eyes. Derek lifted her body into an embrace.

"I love you Derek" she closed her eyes.

"Casey?" she didn't respond. "Casey! Oh god please wake up. I'm sorry I was an asshole. Casey………..Casey………wake up." He laid her down "Casey! Please." He shook her body. "Don't leave me here. Please don't leave me here. Casey!" Derek laid his head on her chest and sobbed. Her chest stopped moving and her head rolled to the side.

Realizing that two hours passed, Derek got up to leave. He bent down and kissed her. He walked to the door. When he looked back he saw her hand move. Whispering her name he rushed to her side. Her eyes fluttered open and she whispered "Derek" he started crying.
