It's Not Over-Secondhand Serenade
Derek/Casey
--
"It's not over. It's not over," he repeated as he stared her in the eyes.
"It's over." she affirmed trying to avert his eyes.
He told himself that he would never cry. That he would never shed a tear for a woman and here he was tears running down his face. Who knew that tearing out your heart would cause so much pain.
"Case. It's not over. Just tell me this is some weird joke that you're playing on me."
"Come on just tell me now." Derek said now on the hysterical side, "tell me that we're not over."
"We're over, Derek! We're over," Casey shouted back at him.
"Why? Why would you throw away our relationship like this? Was it not enough for you? You're breaking my heart."
"I'm tired of it. I'm sick of fighting with you Derek." Casey said. "It was over before it started we could never make it work. Do you think I'm not hurting?"
"We could make it work. This could be a forever kinda thing and you're just going to throw it way. How very Casey of you moving on to bigger and better things."
Derek barely registered the fact that Casey's hand connected with his cheek the only evidence was the stinging sensation he felt and he laughed.
"I'm falling apart Case. I'm falling apart and you're breaking my heart."
"Derek, don't make this harder then it already is." Casey said as the tears finally spilled.
"It's not over Casey, you know it's not." Derek shouted at her as she was leaving.
