A/N: I DON'T OWN LIFE WITH DEREK
Chapter 4: Holiday Break
A/N: Casey's thoughts are in italics
Two weeks later:
Derek and Eric are in the room. Derek is on the phone while Eric is typing on the computer. Eric is going over the emails from his parents and friends. He starts laughing for no reason and Derek just stares at him.
"Ed, how many times have I told you. That first suspension was just a fluke." Derek growls into the phone. "Just pranking anyone and getting caught was not my legacy. My legacy consisted of being a hockey GOD, prankster, and a ladies' man. Just being one is not going to help you live up to the name Venturi."
"Oh, did I mention, Marti got in trouble because she was caught with the principal's award in hand." Edwin says quickly.
"Don't worry, I'll deal with Smarti when I come home for break." Derek says.
"Which reminds me, when are you coming home?" Edwin asks.
"I'll be there in a week. I'm going with a friend to New York for a few days then I'll see you in time for the holiday." Derek answers
"Okay, I'll see you in a week." Edwin says.
"Hey, D. Thanks for coming with me to the city." Eric says.
"It was always a plan of mine to visit New York in the future. So, why not now." Derek says. "And in time for the Leafs-Rangers game."
"I knew there was an ulterior motive for going to New York." Eric grins.
"Hey, I want to know what's so great about Madison Square Garden." Derek says.
"Okay. Okay. Are you ready to leave, we have to get to the airport two hours before the plane leaves." Eric says.
"I know the deal. It isn't the first time I've been on a plane." Derek answers.
Later that day:
Derek and Eric are arriving at JFK Airport. They wait in the line to get off the plane. As they enter the terminal a little girl walks by with two people towards the departure area. They stop at one of the little cafes in the terminal to grab a drink; Derek follows and looks to buy a snack for the ride.
The little girl turns and waves at Derek. Derek grins at the girl and the girl smiles widely at him. Derek eyes widen and he shakes his head as thoughts begin to race in his mind. Eric looks at him and rolls his eyes.
"Dude, come on. My friends are waiting in the parking lot." Eric says.
"Yeah, sure." Derek says in a daze.
"DEREK!" Eric yells.
"Sorry." Derek whispers.
As Derek and Eric leave the cafe a woman walks in through the other entrance. The couple looks at her then the little girl running towards the woman. People look over when the little girl starts laughing. The woman just shrugs off the looks of the other people and hugs her daughter close to her.
"Momma! Can I have this?" Selena asks.
"Honey, I said no, the first time." Casey says firmly.
"Pwease, pwease, pwease!" Selena begs.
"Curse Derek for that mentality of 'what Derek wants, Derek gets'." Casey mumbles.
"Casey, we have to go." Harry says.
"Thanks guys." Casey says. "I'll see you in 10 days."
"Take care of yourself and call me when you land in Toronto." Sarah says as she hugs Casey.
"Same applies for me." Harry says while working on his phone. "Come on, Sarah, we have to get back to the office."
"I need to go to a different law firm." Sarah mumbles.
Casey and Sarah laugh as Harry was waving back at Casey and Selena. However, as he walks back, he doesn't notice the suitcase sitting in the middle of the floor. He trips and land face first on the dirty, liquid-stained floor.
"I got to go before Harry winds up going into the wrong area of the city." Sarah says laughing.
"Momma! The pwane is here." Selena exclaims. "Vow, it is big. I hope there is piza."
Okay, Case, focus. You are only going to be there for a few days. Then go straight to Icky Vicky's house for the rest of the break and come back home. Well, home for Selena. But it should all be fine, nothing can go wrong.

Why is it whenever a character says or thinks: nothing can go wrong, everything does? Trust me, Casey's past will come back to haunt her in more ways than one. But, you'll have to wait for that. HAHAHAHAHAHA!
