A/N: Thanks for the reviews, made feel accepted into the Dasey world. I've decided it's going to a four parter cause the song's kinda long and well I'm only using a bit each time. All in good time, really if you didnt listen before, download, youtube the song honestly you'll get the feeling I'm trying to convey with the song. And the whole point of this story has kinda changed instead of Casey to Derek it's more of a Casey to Casey with Derek noticing things. Maybe I said too much but oh well, if you're confused just continuing reading and you'll understand what I mean. Without further adieu I move on to the part where I don't own anything that's even related to this maybe the plot but even that's follows the song very loosely.

Review and Enjoy!

"I'd better go" he whispered against her lips not even fifteen minutes later and just as he pulled away both Max and Sam walked in looking for the occupants who not even five minutes ago had been joined from the chest down.

You're always on display
For everyone to watch and learn from

"There you are" Max slipping an arm around her shoulders smiling oblivious to his girlfriend's frown.

"Derek we have practice to get to" Sam reminded Derek who nodded and walked away with final look at the happy couple.

Don't you know by now
You can't turn back

"So what did Casey want to talk to you about?" Sam asked as they were headed out the main doors of the school

"You know Casey, it's nothing that important" Derek lied as he got into the passenger door of Sam's car. Only if you consider kissing your stepsister and liking it not important.

Because this road is all you'll ever have

"I was thinking that we'd go to the mall and have our pictures taken" Max continued talking to Casey who hadn't heard a word he said, nodding and mmhmming when necessary.

"Sure that sounds great" she smiled finally looking at him, a truly and completely excellent boyfriend would have noticed the smile didn't reach her eyes as she took his hand letting him lead her to the mall.

She smiled for the camera as the flash blinded her pretending she was happy and the played the best girlfriend she could for the hours they were at the mall.

And it's obvious that you're dying, dying
Just living proof that the camera's lying

Holding onto the pictures for dear life as she walked through the front door, where the family was just sitting down for dinner, she glanced at Derek and the pictures.

"Look who decided to show up for dinner" the remark came from Derek, for once she was surprised he was actually acting like himself and insulting her, never mind the fact they'd been making out not even three hours ago.

"Honey how was the mall with Max?" Nora asked glancing over as her eldest daughter slid into her seat. Derek noticed still holding what appeared to be a strip of pictures.

"We had fun mom" she smiled again falsely something she'd grown accustomed to today.

"What's in your hand?" Marti asked taking a bite of her mashed potatoes, everyone looked at her, her cheeks flushing she answered.

"Just pictures we took" something inside her clicked when she saw Derek clench his jaw, the smile she was holding finally turned real, Derek was feeling the same thing she was.

"Max thought it would be cute if we got our pictures done together" she spent the rest of dinner telling the whole family how much fun she had and couldn't help the smile that formed when she looked at Derek and noticed how hard his jaw was clenched and how white his knuckles were as he gripped his fork.

And oh, oh open wide
Cause this is your night, so smile
Cause you'll go out in style
You'll go out in style
