Everyone groaned. George asked "what happened this time?'
Lizzie shook her head and said "He cheated."
"Whose turn is it this time?" said Nora, from the kitchen.
"I'm pretty sure that Marti would break the news best but the last time she did that he scared her with the rage in his voice so maybe Nora since she has a calming effect on all people." Said Edwin from the living room couch.
"Oh No I'm not calling Derek, I did the last two times its Georges turn." Called Nora.
"Fine, fine." Said George in submission. He knew that the family would just argue with him until he had to call. "Give me the phone."
All of them gathered around the phone except for Mari who was at Dimi's. They dialed Derek's number and put him on speaker phone. He picked up in two rings.
"Hello?" He said.
"Hey it's Dad." George said.
"What's up?"
"It's Casey."
"God, which loser is it this time and what did he do?"
"We can't tell you, like every other time. You know Casey doesn't want you to know that's why she doesn't call you." The family was giving him the death stare. Ops he knew he shouldn't have told Derek but hopefully Derek's jealousy would cancel out George's words. They could hope.
"Ugh! It's like this every time cant she just become abstinent? I would sleep a heck of a lot easier if that was the case!"
"What?" George said incredulously. Did his son really just tell his whole family that he wanted Casey to become Abstinent? It was so hypocritical of him since he was dating a new blonde every week, well in high school. They don't know what has become of him now. All they know is that his grades have improved because of the hockey requirements.
"Nothing, nothing. I said nothing."
"No you said you want Casey to become Abstinent. Why would you want her to do that? It would be like telling Casey- 'Don't go and try your Prince Charming' Derek." Maybe Derek would see the double meaning in his words. George could hope.
"I know, I know. Now I have to go find Casey and try and get the Jerks name, address, what he did, and what I have to do to him. Bye." He hung up on them. George turned to Nora.
"Did you hear what I heard?" They shook their heads yes.
"Uh oh I wonder what he will say to her this time. Last time he tried to talk her into going to a convert. A CONVERT, for God's sake."
Nora shook her head sadly. "They'll have to work it out themselves, we can't baby them forever."
Edwina and Lizzie were jealous George had gotten off easily barley any rage. Maybe soon Derek and Casey would get over themselves and look right in front of them. It was so obvious that Casey was clueless but when wasn't Casey clueless unless it was school work. The family dispersed and they were happy with the outcome. They didn't have a clue what was going down in Queens and really they didn't care as long as it didn't tear the family apart and Christmas's would be hell.
Okay that was a major clue as what might be happening in the next chapter. Truthfully I didn't want to add it to this chapter because it would ruin the DRAMA of it soooo see ya soon.
