Over You- Daughtry

Derek/Casey

Derek/Whoever you think

"We're over."

Derek stood mutely not regestering the fact that those words had just come out of Casey's mouth.

"What? You're joking right Case?"

When she didn't answer he knew she was serious.

"Well I guess it's really over," Derek sighed in defeat before he walked out of her dorm, somehow he knew that he had left his heart back there.

"Casey?"

"Derek?"

"Is that really you?" Derek asked as he stepped closer to her and tried to school the shocked expression on his face off. After their fallout while they were still in college Derek transferred to another college and mysteriously was never at any family events that meant Casey being there.

"Of course it is, don't you recognize me?" Casey asked as her blue eyes began to tear up. "Oh my gosh Derek I'm so sorry," she sobbed as she tried to throw herself onto Derek.

He had no idea how to respond to this weepy Casey, if she had done this a few years ago then he would have been ecstatic, but now he just wanted to push her off him. Those years he had been away from Casey he had been putting his heart back together, the one that she so graciously broke.

"Case, what happened to you?" Derek asked trying to keep the pity out of his voice, all he wanted to do was pick up a gallon of ice cream and stopped at the first grocery store he saw, which wasn't in the best part of town.

"What do you mean?" she asked stopping her dramatic antics for a second.

"Where's the old Casey?" he asked once again taking a look at her, apparently the years had done her no good as Casey had doubled in size and looked unkempt and in need of sleep.

"Oh, well after I--we broke up, I went to New York to try out my luck and well you can see it didn't really work out," she finished with a dry laugh. "But, you, you're making a name out of yourself TWO gold medals, a professional hockey player, and aspiring actor," Casey practically drooled on the last part.

Derek tried to keep his anger in check, this was what it was all about he thought she just wanted what he could give her.

"Remember we love each other,"

"Used too." Derek cut her off, "and all these years I've been putting my heart together again, after you so kindly tore it out."

"I'm sorry, I really am," she pleased, "we can start over, can't we?"

"I'm sorry Casey, but I'm over you," Derek finished as he grabbed the bag the clerk was handing him.

"Besides my wife is waiting for me in the car. "You forgot that all the tabloids are talking about is the arrival of my first child," Derek pointed out as he tapped a magazine with his index finger that showed a head-over-heels in love Derek Venturi.

"I'm finally over you," he repeated as he walked out.
