I'm back from LA so here's another chapter! Thanks for the reviews!!


Chapter 5

Soon, their vacation came to an end. All in all, they had fun doing whatever they did. Casey would frequently get lost by herself, and Derek would frantically go searching for her...and she was always found. Liz and Ed would frequently wander off on their own which would freak Casey out. They even visited Casey's dad for a day in the city. And Derek even accompanied Casey to several Broadway shows...she wondered why, but he would say that he didn't want her getting lost or else Nora would flip out. Now they were back home...

"Derek? Have you seen my glittery tank top?" Casey called from her bedroom.

Derek was in the other room unpacking his bag, "Nope, ask Liz or Ed."

Casey went on into Edwin's room, "Ed, have you seen my glittery tank top?"

"No, sorry, but are you sure Derek doesn't have it?" He asked raising a brow.

Casey looked at him suspiciously, "Um, I'm pretty sure he doesn't have it...why?"

"Oh, nothing, nothing, forget I said anything." He said as he waved it off and went back to unpacking.

Casey jumped onto his bed and gave him a serious look, "Tell.Me.Now."

"I just thought maybe Derek had it." He said as he shrugged his shoulders.

"You're impossible." She said as she left his room.

On the way back to her room, she glanced into Derek's room and noticed he wasn't in there.

"Hmm, I don't think it would hurt anyone if I just peeked in there to look for my tank top."

She walked into the room and over to his suitcase. Casey soon started sifting through it...eventually spotting her tank top and her pajamas.

Suddenly a door closed and she slowly turned around with a confused look on her face.

"What are you doing in my room?" Derek asked as he stood over her.

"What are you doing with my clothes?" Casey retorted.

"Touché."

"I'm not going to ask you again, Derek."

"You left them in the rooms we stayed at, so I just threw them into my bag." He responded.

"Well, why didn't you give them back when I was asking for them?!" Casey asked angrily.

"Woah, chill out, Casey, I forgot I had them, okay?"

"No, I don't buy it." She said getting up.

"Fine, then don't believe me."

"I don't. I had so much fun with you in New York, and I guess it was stupid of me to actually think that I could trust you. Talk to me when you actually want my trust." Casey then slammed the door and walked back to her room.

After that they didn't talk for nearly two months.

Casey usually confined herself to her room and Emily's house, and Derek basically lived at Sam's house.

It was eventually the beginning of summer and Emily and Sam knew something wasn't right.

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrring. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrring.

"Hello?" Sam said as he answered the phone.

"Hey, Sam, it's Emily, is Derek at your house?"

"Nah, he is grocery shopping with my mom, he has been soo weird lately."

"What? Shopping with your mom? Okay, well, Casey's been pretty weird too, and I think something happened between the two of them."

"Yeah, Derek told me there was a huge fight, but when I tried to have him tell me more, he just changed the subject."

"Casey won't even tell me anything, it's getting pretty awkward having her here. I want to have a life, but she never wants to go out."

"Jeez, I wish we could trade places, all Derek wants to do is go out to parties...he's trying to drag me out to a bunch of college parties every night! It's getting overwhelming."

"Something is definitely up. We need to think of a plan..."

Okay, this chapter was either gonna be really short, or really long, so I decided to go with short...so the next chapter will be up probably tonight. Please review!
