Chapter 7

If anyone knows Sam's last name please let me know. If they haven't mentioned it, than don't worry. For story purpose I made one up.

Casey stared at her stepbrother who just mentioned that pressing charges against Sam would be a good idea. Was he serious? Casey wasn't sure, Sam was Derek's best friend would he really be willing to turn his friend in?

"Derek, I don't know. I mean what if you regret this. What if you end up hating me?" She asked with a lowered head. Derek walked over to her and looked straight into her eyes.

"Nothing you can say or do, can ever make me hate you."

"Why are you doing this? Derek wasn't sure of what he was doing, it was uncommon for him to act this way especially towards Casey. He knew that he cared for her, but he was still confused on the extent of it all. He just knew he needed no wanted to protect Casey

"I don't know, I guess it's because the one thing I don't like is when guys hurt girls. I know I have a reputation of date them and leave them, but I would never physically hurt a girl, that's not me. I respect Women, I hate guys who don't, I'm sorry Sam had become one of those guys." Derek confessed wholeheartedly.

Nora and George were surprised to hear Derek sound so responsible, they were glad that he had a high respect for women; even he was known to play them. "Casey you must be hungry, let me make you some toast and tea." Nora said to her daughter.

"Thanks mom, but I'm not hungry." The truth was Casey couldn't bare to choke down food, the thought of what Sam did to her was still. "I think I'd like to lie down."

"That's fine, Derek would you please take Casey upstairs?" Nora asked.

Derek got up and went over to Casey. "Yeah sure, come on Case." Derek gently held her up as the two walked up to her room where Derek helped her on to the bed.

"Thanks."

"You want me to stay."

"I want to rest, I'll be okay." Casey told him. The truth Is she wanted to think about whether or not she should have Sam arrested.

"Okay, if you need anything, We're right down stairs." Derek told her.

"Thank you for being so nice." Casey smiled, before falling asleep.

"No problem." Derek said before turning off her light and shutting the door.

Casey was contemplating on calling the police and presses charges against the boy she had once claimed to love. She had been hesitant however of doing so. Nora told her if she were too afraid to make the call, she would go ahead and make it herself.

After much thought. Casey had walked downstairs to tell the family of her decision. She walked over to her mother given the go ahead to her stepfather. "Make the call George." She whispered lowering her head. She hated to send Sam to jail, but she knew letting him get away with that kind of act would be wrong.

"and if any of you don't mind I really don't want to talk about what happened anymore I just want to go back upstairs and fall asleep and never remember what happened, I just want to forget it all happened."

"Casey darling I'm sorry if I rushed you into anything, please know I would never expect you to remember something so atrocious Darling." Nora hugged her daughter tightly, never wanting to ever let her out of her site.

"I just can't believe it happened. You know, I can't believe Sam could do something like that, Sam was the one person I trusted immensely, but now that's gone, I don't know who to trust."

"You have me and…" Nora laughed.

"Besides my family, how am I gonna have a normal relationship with a man if I can't even learn to trust them."

Nora smiled. "Don't worry Darling you will, you will." She helped Casey into her bed and said goodnight. "Goodnight Darling, I'm gonna go see how George is coming along with the call.."

Detective Margaret Swanson walked up the drive to the front door of Sam's place. She knocked on the door patiently waiting for someone to answer.

"Detective? What brings you by here?" The asked the police detective.

"I'm looking for Samuel Turner; can you please get him for me?" She asked professionally.

Mr. Turner asked the detective why she wanted to see Sam, "Why? Why do you want to see Sam?"

Margaret sighed. "If you must know, I got a call from a George Venturi, and apparently your son has committed a felony of rape."

Mr. Turner sighed. "Alright I'll get him, but detective know that he's is quite upset at himself for what happened." He explained as he went up stairs to receive his son.

Mr. Turnerwalked to Sam's room and opened it. "Samuel, Son?" He called entering Sam's room. "Sam?" Mr. Turner searched his room, and the bathroom however there was no Sam. He then noticed the window was wide open.

Mr. Turner ran to look out it. He closed his eyes knowing exactly where Sam was headed too. He walked back downstairs to explain to Margaret that Sam had snuck out.

"Where is he Mr. Turner?" Margaret asked when Mr. Turner descended the stairs empty handed. "If you are hiding him you will become an accessory to the crime and I really do not feel like carting you off to jail either, now tell me where your son is?"

"He snuck out; I do have a idea of where he is going though." Mr. Turner explained to Margaret that Sam might have gone to Casey to try to explain what happened, he wasn't sure though. Margaret brushed her hand though her hair.

Margaret rushed out the door with Mr. Turner right behind her. "I'm coming with you." He said with a look saying you can tell me no, but I will follow anyways.

"Alright, but don't get in the way." Margaret warned.

The door of Casey's room opened as the person stepped in, he walked over to where Casey slept and just watched her. He brushed the hair out of her forehead, which caused her to wake up. She opened her eyes wide when she saw who it was. She stared at the person oddly.

The person put a finger to his mouth and smiled. "Don't say anything."

Casey just stared at him.
