"Hey Derek." Casey faintly said. He was shocked that she was awake. He was even more shocked she was talking to him nicely.

"Hey Case. How are you feeling?" Derek asked and sat up a little straighter looking at the girl on the bed. In his mind he knew that no matter how much he wanted to deny it, the fact was that he was in love with Casey McDonald: his stepsister.

Casey faintly smiled and looked at the ceiling. "Horrible but who wouldn't when they are in a hospital room with wires connected to you and you don't know why."

Derek was feeling horrible. He was driving. "Derek. What am I doing here?" Casey asked. She turned her head and looked him in the eyes. He looked back and noticed the tears in her eyes. She was so terrified.

He swallowed and thought about how to tell her.

"Casey...We were in an accident. A drunk driver hit us and it hurt your side of the car pretty hard." he said and noticed tears were forming in his eyes.

Derek couldn't look at her with the tears in his eyes so he laid down and looked at the white ceiling. He heard Casey try and hold back her sobs but was failing to do so.

"Casey. I have to tell you something." Derek said and turned to Casey and noticed her face was drenched with tears.

"Derek. I want to say something too." she said. "But you can go first." she added.

"Okay. Uhm." he said. How was he suppose to tell her he loved her.

"Casey. What I'm about to say may surprise you." Derek warned but Casey looked like she wanted to know badly.

"All right. Casey McDonald. I love you. I love the way your blue eyes shine in the light, the way you move, the way you fought with me. I love everything about you. I knew it when you first walked in my door." he told her and fresh tears made their way down her face while he was talking.

BEEP. BEEP.

"Derek. Please wake up now." A voice said.

Derek blinked and noticed that Nora and George were in the room.

BBEEEEPPP.

That noise was getting on his nerves so he tried to find it.

Finally he recognized where it came from.

It was from the machine saying Casey's pulse. And the line was flat.
