Okay, so sorry it took a while. But I'm bored, and have nothing better to do, on account of my brother'll have swimming lessons soon, and I'll be home alone. -Tear-. Well here goes.

Dear, dear Diary - Pt. 3

Casey walked groggily down the stairs, occasionally hitting her elbow on a piece of funiture. She moaned, as she made her way to the kitchen, where Lizzie and Edwin were playing a trivia game on the back of a cereal box.

"Morning," they piped up, not looking away from the box.

Casey slumped on a stool and rested her head in her arms on the table. "Are you okay, Case?" Lizzie peered over her sisters shoulder.

"No," she gurgled, before making an attempt of sitting up in her seat. "Last nigh', I was trying t'sleep. Buh Der'k had the music blasting. I ended up slee'in at 4:00 AM." She took a quick glance at the clock. It was 8:45. She groaned again, before resuming her position on the table.

"That's Derek for you," Edwin replied, getting up and pouring a cup of coffee for Casey. He set it in front of her. "Don't worry. Today he'll be out of the house, so you can have all the peace and quiet you want."

Casey took a sip of the coffee. "What about you and Liz?"

"We're going to the mall with Mom and George after they come home from the store with Marti," Lizzie replied.

Casey smiled, taking a look at both of them. "You kids are such morning people."

XOXOXO

Casey thought taking a nice warm shower would wake her up, but she was still half asleep by the time she stepped out of the bathroom.

She closed her bedroom door and searched through her drawers, towel wrapped around her. The was a loud banging on her door that made her jump. "What??" She cried.

"I'm leaving," She heard Derek's voice. "Be home later."

"And I care... Why?" Casey said angrily.

"Whatever. Just tell Nora and Dad I'll be back later." Then she heard him walk down the stairs.

XOXOXO

After watching a bit of TV, surfing the internet, and trying to go back to sleep, Casey was going out of her mind with boredom.

She decided to listen to Derek's iPod, listen downstairs in the backyard for a while, and return it before Derek could ever find out.

Moments later, she retrieved the iPod, and lightly clicked the backdoor shut, making sure she could still get in. Then she put on a song, shut her eyes, and enjoyed the warmth on her face.

XOXOXO

"Casey?!" Derek shouted. "Case! I forgot my iPod. Casey?" She shut the door behind him. He checked the kitchen, his parents room, Lizzie's, Edwin's, Marti's, Casey's and his room. She wasn't anywhere to be found.

So instead, he decided to try and find it on his own. He checked every room, until he finally got to Casey's.

He checked in her drawers, bedside table, and dresser, but he couldn't find it. He was about to walk out when something caught his eye on her bed.

It was a pink book, with purple lining, and something engraved in gold.

Hahahaha! (;
