Okay so life must have wanted me to stay away from this fanfic.
I went to go write, and my computer crashed. ….great…..
Then my father died…and I was a wreck.
So finally I am back, and going to write!
I also wanted to say that I just caught up on the season and oh boy. Quick thoughts follow.
Jimmy- I absolutely hate him…he is as douchey as I wrote…..only not abusive…yet. Although he didn't catch Karen during Hit List…JERK!
Karen: I think that she is walking the line of b****y and backbone. I mean there are moments when she completely gives too much attitude…..But I still love her! I am disappointed in how Jimmy crazy she is…..I don't get it at all. I think that her chemistry with Derek is off the charts even more now. And to just to get something off my chest…I think her scene in the bar with Derek at the end of last episode wasn't her coming onto him because she needs a new project to him. I think it was her way of apologizing and letting him know she wants to be part of his team. Also I heard that she was being trashed because she told Ivy that she wouldn't hook up with Derek and then she did. I think 1. Karen was in denial about her feelings for Derek because of how mean he was when she turned him down. (Him giving her songs to Anna didn't help any!) 2. She noticed the look on Ivy's face. I don't think she wanted upset, especially since they were getting along that night…..but idk.
Derek: I love how much he is growing. I like that he told Karen that he cared for her….she was stupid to turn him down. Derek's interactions with everyone are great. I absolutely love his relationship with Ivy…..don't hat me….but I do. I think that they have a good balance. But I prefer that they remain friends. I think that if they could be friends that would be great. But I know it wouldn't work with him being with Karen. I also want to see what drama will unfold since he hooked up with Daisy….doesn't look good.
Sorry I know that this is supposed to be a story. There just aren't many forums on her. So those are the juicy things I wanted to dive into. I know the show is having struggles….but I am thoroughly enjoy it. I know that spoilers have been out about what couples are endgame…But I am ignoring them and hoping for the best!
Well anyways guys…..Here is my story and cheers to you guys!
"Stop the car." Derek said after a few moments of intense silence.
"I thought I was coming to your place?" Karen asked quizzically.
"I'd rather get out here Karen. I need to get some air." He said sliding the cab driver double the fare to take him to his home.
Karen slid out of the car behind him. Almost running to keep up with him.
"Will you slow down!" she yelled winded from the jog down two blocks. "What is going on with you?"
"What is going on with me? With me Karen? Oh I don't know love. How about the fact I flailing around like a lunatic working on bombshell half-heartedly because you're leaving. I come to look at a musical with a bloke half my age, with double my attitude and none of my Broadway skills. People pay me rather well to do what I do. And I am going to do this practically for free. Because I love you…..And I can't even have you! I can't do this…..I am not going to do this." Derek snarled.
"Derek I need you to do this. I am not you. I can't go around getting jobs at the drop of a dime….and with Ivy and her mom….You know I don't stand a chance. I need this job, and Jimmy will give it to me." Karen said looking upset.
"Karen this is crazy. You rather not go out and wrok for something? You're great you can make it on your own. You rather use some sleezball and his songs to make you famous? You know what….this is not going to work. If you want this idiot and cutesy little songs…..then you go there. I am not doing the play….as a matter of fact. I am not doing this sneaking around thing either. How do I know you're not just running around with me for the same reason you're running around with Jimmy? I think I'll pas." He said snatching away from her grasp and making his way down the street.
He heard her call about behind him, but he didn't turn around to see her. He knew if he looked at her he would change his mind. He couldn't help but change his. He really did care for Karen. But not the Karen she was trying to be, the Karen outside of work outside of his career. Before he could dwell on those times he felt his phone vibrating in his pocket.
"More great news?" He said answering the phone.
"I'm afraid not Derek. It appears that evey time we win one battle you have another lined up around the corner." Derek's attorney spoke in as raspy tone on the other end.
"What are you talking about Marty?" Derek said confused.
"I am talking about the lawsuit on my desk here. Seems that the little issue you had with Rebecca Duvall is turning into something new. She wants to have you tested for the paternity of her child." Marty said with a chuckle.
"With her child? Are you bloody kidding me? It's been mere months since I slept with that woman. There is no way she could have a child by me." Derek said with a large frown. He almost laughed himself.
"Well you right about one thing. She hasn't had the babe yet. She wants to have it tested before delivery to assure you are responsible for everything mate." Marty said less playfully this time.
"Absolutely not, that is ridiculous." Derek said turning into the local bar.
"Well not as ridiculous as it could get if you don't show up Derek." The attorney managed to get in before Derek hung up on him.
Derek sat frustrated the day had been too long for him to remember. And the one person he wanted to call and talk to he pushed away. He looked through the contacts on his phone and stopped at Ivy's number. Surely she would be available to meet his demands.
Okay I know weird chapter. But I do have a place that I am going with this I promise.
