I don't own Life with Derek

Casey's POV

Her eyes fluttered open and she turned over her eyes landed on the paper sitting on the bed she leaned over and picked them up She quickly scanned through them realizing that the first two were the poams she had written which confused her becuse she was sure that she had thrown away she picked up the other two pieces of paper and silantly read them she froze as she read what was on the paper. Her heart started to beat rapidly. He couldn't be saying what she thought he was saying could he becuse all though there was no signiture on the paper she would know his hand writeing anywere. Tears pooled in her eyes and slipped down her cheeks she got up off the bed clutching the paper to her she walked down the hall to his room. She stood frozen at his door not sure of what to do next.

She brought her hand up and then quickly took it down. Finally she took a deep breath and rapped on the door. The next thing she knew the door was being opened and she was staring into his face. She wordlessly held out the papers to him silantly asking him to confirm what she had read.

He pulled her into the room and over to the bed he sat her down and sat next to her. he put his arms around her and buried his face in her hair.

"Derek What did the poams mean" She asked in a timid voice not wanting to get her hopes up.

"The mean Casey that I think I'm falling in love with you and I hate to see you cry." He pulled back and looked into her eyes.

" I need time to think" She got off the bed but not before giving him one more hug. She went back to her room and pulled out one more peice of paper and started to write

Is this all a dream

Can this really be true

or is fate just playing a trick on me

will I wake up on my bed

realizing that thought it was the best dream

it was still a dream

and if this is realty can it last

oh please let it last.

She folded the poam and knew what she had to do.

Derek's POV

After he layed the poams next to her he went back to his room he couldn't concentrate on anything he tried to lisen to music but all that did was give him a head ache he had been sitting in his room for two hours thinking when he heard a knock on his door he got up. When he opened the door he was suprised to find Casey on the other side and to see that more tears had been running down her cheeks.

He pulled her into the room and over to the bed placing his arms around her he just couldn't resist burying his face in her sweet smelling hair But what got him was when she asked her question when he pulled away and looked into her eyes he could see the tears and uncertintly swimming there. He wanted to kiss her but he also didn't want her to run. he was suprised but not totally unperpared when she had told him she needed time to think.

He watched her walk out of the door and sighed if only he could convince her that his love was true that he wouldn't break her heart.

He sat down Heavily down in his seat and started to write.

Why can't she belive

Why can't she see

That for her I will

Wear my heart on my sleeve

that I have a heart out there too

I love her

I want

to hold her

She is the only girl that I want to hold

the only girl that I want to kiss

if only she would belive

in me

in us

in love

Just as he was finishing he heard a light knock on his door he turned and saw Casey gently push the half open door all the way open.

"I don't think I love you Derek I know I love you" All he could do was smile
