"Casey." Marti smiled. She loved the get Derek and Casey back together game. She'd won when she was younger, she intended to win again. Marti nodded at her older brother, who looked to Lizzie and Edwin for approval. They nodded at him.
"Well excuse me siblings." He gritted his teeth and smiled, baring them, at his parents. "Parents." He stated before walking away.
"Mom...how could you." Was the last thing he heard before he ran out the door and saw Riley's hair whip behind her. Where's Casey? He turned around before seeing her sitting on the ground, flicking a Camel 9, the ash fluttered with the wind. Tears were rolling down her cheeks.
"I...I thought you left Case." He said softly. Pulling out his pack of Reds and lighting up, inhaling. He couldn't believe Casey smoked. Then again they'd started together...maybe she was a closet smoker for the rest of their teen years. He sat on his feet and looked at her. "Case?" He asked.
"I'm always here Derek..." She flicked the ash off her cigarette once again, taking a deep drag and holding it in. "Mmm." She groaned, blowing the smoke out. "I'm always right here." He felt his stomach drop.
But you always find a way to keep me right here waiting, you always find the words to say to keep me right here waiting, and if you chose to walk away I'd still be right here waiting, Searching for the things to say to keep you right here waiting
"They were lying to us you know." She said slowly. Taking another drag and letting it out a few more times. "We aren't really siblings. That's why they wouldn't take us for a blood test, that's why they said they'd already done it. It was my dad's idea." Drag. Exhale. Drag. Exhale. Ash. Drag. Exhale. "They lied to us Derek." The tears began rolling down her face. "i've been waiting for you so long Derek. I hate how we listened to them. I'm not Conservative Casey. I'm not I'm not I'm not!" She cried, dropping her cigarette and clenching her fists. "I'M NOT!" She yelled louder as she pounded on his chest. He set his cigarette in the ashtray and wrapped his arms around her. Listening to her sob. He felt her tears through his thin t-shirt. He could hear high heel steps. Riley. He pulled Casey's face up and stared into her deep blue eyes, the eyes that were begging him to not let her be someone else anymore.
"I promise babe." He said, pressing his lips into hers passionatly. Wanting to never let go...it was as if he was breathing for the first time in years.
I've made a commitment, I'm willing to bleed for you, I needed fulfillment, I found what I need in you
"Derek I'm willing to ove..." Riley stopped in her tracks. She saw two burning cigarettes. Derek smoked? And his lips pressed to his 'sister's.' "You sick bastard!" She screamed. They ignored her. They were stronger than what that girl would have ever seen. Turning once again she headed towards the bus stop. She felt a shoe kick in her as she walked, she glanced back to find Marti waving innocently before sneaking back inside. Derek's lips were still locked on Casey's. "Ugh!" She screamed.
But you always find a way to keep me right here waiting, you always find the words to say to keep me right here waiting
And if I chose to walk away would you be right here waiting, Searching for the things to say to keep me right here waiting.
