A/N: I DON'T OWN LIFE WITH DEREK

Chapter 2: Derek's Life

"CASEY!" Derek shouts.

Derek jumps up and out of his bed. He hits the floor with a thud and groans in pain. He looks up to his bed and sees Casey isn't there. He runs his hand through his hair and looks in the mirror.

"Damn it. GET OUT OF MY HEAD!" Derek says to himself.

"Derek?" Someone asks. "Dude, what is wrong?"

"What? Huh?" Derek asks.

Derek looks as his roommate as he enters the room. His roommate, Eric, offers him a hand to get off the ground. Derek takes his hand and gets off the ground. Eric looks at him in worry and Derek shrugs his shoulders and grabs some clothes to change into.

"You've been shouting that girl "Casey"'s name for the past 2 ½ years. Every single night. It never ends and it's getting sickening." Eric says.

"Your point?" Derek says.

"Are you going to tell me about this girl or is she this girl that you had a one night stand with and now regret it..." Eric says.

Derek jumps at Eric and picks him up. Now, Eric is no small person. About Derek's height, just a little shorter. In relatively decent shape and has some muscles. But none of that matters to Derek as he picks up Eric by the collar in both hands.

"DON'T YOU DARE SAY ANYTHING ABOUT MY GIRL! YOU HAVE NO RIGHT! YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT HAPPENED BETWEEN US!" Derek growls at Eric.

"THEN TELL ME!" Eric shouts.

Derek lets go of Eric. Eric straights up his clothing and sits down in the rolling chair in their dorm room. Derek begins to furiously pace across the room. He mutters quiet swears when he turns and heads to the opposite side of the room.

"Fine. But this stays between you and me." Derek threatens.

"Dude. We've lived together for the past two years. I know when you want me to keep a secret." Eric says.

"Well, it started back in my junior year of high school...." Derek begins.

Flashback:

"This was not in my activity plan." Casey says.

"Oh, yeah if you are looking for you activity plan, I'd check the bottom of Edwin's bird cages." Derek smirks.

Casey gasps at him. She shoots him a glare and looks back to the little kids in Marti's summer camp group. Derek walks to the front of them explaining how to run through the obstacle course he made. Casey watches as all the kids are having fun going through "Captain Venturi's Ultimate Space Obstacle Challenge".

"You want to try the Alpha Force Course?" Marti asks.

"No thanks Marti. It's not my thing." Casey says.

"Listen I'm sorry for painting you before. And for sneaking away. And the paper balls." Marti says.

"I'm just glad you guys are having a good time with Derek." Casey says.

"I like hanging out with you too." Marti responds.

"Really?" Casey asks.

"Yeah, you're pretty, smart, organized." Marti comments.

"Oh, that's nice. Thank you, Marti." Casey smiles.

"So you want to try?" Marti asks.

"Oh, I don't think so." Casey says.

"Force field is activated." Derek grins.

Derek and Casey stare in each other eyes. Their eyes are drawn to each other. For those few seconds nothing can seem to break their stare. Casey turns to give Marti a half grin and joins the fun the other kids are having.

End Flashback

"So that one look between you two and everything changed?" Eric asks.

"Not exactly. Considering she still had a boyfriend at the time. But things did change as time went on." Derek explains.

"Well, what hap...." Eric begins to say but is interrupted.

The bell rings signaling the start of morning class. Derek and Eric look at each other. Derek sighs in relief and Eric grins at Derek. Derek quickly tries to escape from the room, but the door is locked.

"Derek, tonight we finish this conversation." Eric says.

"Looking forward to it." Derek say sarcastically.
