Scene Four

Disclaimer: Don't own LwD. :(

"What'd she say?" Derek asked Casey after Lily had left in a hurry.

"I didn't know; I was too busy trying to contain my fury!" She seethed, glaring at him.

He rolled his eyes, "Drama queen."

"Idiot."

"Keener"

"Slacker."

"Loser." They had gotten closer after each insult.

Casey gasped, "I am not a loser!"

"Really now? So what are your plans for tonight, then?" He challenged.

"If you must know...I'm going shopping." She replied confidently.

"By yourself? God Case; can you get any lamer?" He laughed.

Another gasp from Casey, "I'll have you know that I am not going alone. Lily and I are going shopping together, so there." She said. His face fell at her comment and she was making a move to leave. She barely even took a step when Derek grabbed her wrist.

She gave him an icy glare as she struggled to break free from him. His face now holding an expression that was a mixture of fear and determination. Casey only noticed the latter of the two which just made her fight more.

"You can't go shopping with her." Derek ordered. Finally letting enough fear out for her to notice it. Her face faltered momentarily before it returned to its angry state.

"First you call me lame and not you're saying that I can't hangout with my friend? Do you want me to be miserable?" She argued. He opened his mouth to answer with his smart-alec remark but Casey beat him to it. "You know what? Don't answer that," She said, finally ripping herself from his grip.

"You don't have the right to tell me what to do, you should know that by now." She said before storming off to her dorm quickly before her class.

The slamming of the door gave Rachel the indication that there was something wrong with her roommate. Even though they hadn't become instant best friends, she still felt the need to be there for Casey.

"Something wrong, Casey?" Rachel asked, emerging from their bathroom, drying her wet, auburn hair with a towel.

Casey glanced at her and sighed, "Just my annoying step-brother. He just frustrates me so much! He thinks he can control me, but I am my own person!" She complained before groaning and flopping backwards on her bed.

Derek had started pacing as soon as Casey left. I can't let them be alone together. Who knows what crazy things Lily is going to say? No, no no. That's not happening! I either have to convince Lily that I don't like Casey or somehow find a way to crash their little... shopping trip. He thought. He decided he would try the first one first, and then if it didn't work, he'd use plan B. Now If only he knew where she was.

He let out a hefty sigh before heading off in the direction of his dorm. He just hoped that Sam might know something about Lily's whereabouts.

"Sammy!" Derek called as he walked into their shared living space.

Same acknowledged him with a head nod and went back to tying on his laptop.

"Uhhh." Derek started, furrowing his eyebrows at his best friend, "When I said your name, it meant I wanted to talk to you about something." He explained as if it were obvious.

"Oh." Sam replied blankly.

"As in... now!" Derek ordered. This awoke Sam out of his daze and he shur his laptop to pay attention to his obviously troubled friend.

"What is it, D?" He asked.

"You wouldn't happen to know where Lily is, would you?" He asked urgently.

"Um... no, but she slipped me her number when we shook hands earlier, do you want me to ask her where she is?" Sam replied.

Derek looked dumbstruck at Sam. He wasn't sure if it was because Sam was being a total 'Ralph' today by not knowing what Derek wants without him asking for it; or if it was because Lily had been so sneaky and conniving, but completely blew him off when he tried picking her up. Did the world turn upside down? Was The Derek Venturi losing his touch? Nahhhh.

"Derek?" Sam questioned again.

"Oh, right. Umm, yes. I need to talk to her and its quite important." Derek informed his friend.

"Alright, just gimme a sec." Sam told Derek before he took out his phone and called Lily.

...

"Hello?" Lily answered.

"Hey Lily, Its Sam." He responded, not even trying to hide the smile that his face and voice were holding.

"Oh, hi!" She greeted him excitedly, "I wasn't expecting to hear from you so quickly."

Sam chuckled nervously, he obviously hadn't thought this through, now he seemed desperate. "Heh, well... the reason I'm calling is because Derek said he really needs to talk to you and wanted to know where you were." He explained.

"A-ha... I see, well is Derek with you?" She asked.

"Yeah"

"Well just hand him the phone for me, please, I'm sure I know what he wants to talk about."

"Alright." Sam said before extending his arm out and trying to give Derek the phone, "She told me to give you the phone."

Derek sighed, but took the phone.

"Yes?" He spoke.

"You are the one who wanted to talk to me. So talk." She answered.

He groaned, "Can't you just tell me where you are?" He begged.

"Begging is not a great form of flattery, Derek." She smirked, even though he couldn't see it.

"Not the point, Lily. You know what I need to talk to you about, so just tell me where you are so we can get it over with." He ordered.

"Mmm, I don't really listen to people when they are barking orders at me. Its not very polite." She challenged.

"Why do you have to be so difficult?!" He yelled.

"Because that's who I am. Now I'll tell you where I am when you tell me what you want to talk to me about."

"You know I can't." He stated nervously.

"Why not? Afraid to tell your best friend that you have a crush. Hmmm, girls must be so different from guys."

"I don't have a-" He stopped himself, noticing Sam eying him suspiciously. "I just don't... you don't know the whole story." He explained.

"Well I was planning on finding out this afternoon when Casey and I go shopping." She told him.

"Well I'd rather you hear it from me than her, considering she knows nothing about your little delusions." He argued.

"They aren't delusions Derek. I can tell what's real and what's not. You have feelings for Casey, and I'm pretty sure that those feelings are returned by her." Lily rebutted. Something about this statement made Derek's stomach do something funny. He didn't know what it was or why it happened, but his heart rate sped up a bit too. He must be coming down with something.

"Didn't you see us today? We were at each others throat?!" He offered and this definitely caught Sam's attention as Derek saw his head tilt to the side in confusion. Derek looked away from him nervously before lifting the phone away from him face and speaking to Sam quietly, "I'll be right back with your phone, Dude."

"Yeah, if by 'at each others throats' you mean completely ready to jump each other, I totally agree." She laughed. Derek was in the hallway at this point.

"Listen here, crazy woman, Casey and I could never like each other that way," He said, finally getting somewhere with this conversation.

"And why would that be, Derek? Because you're too afraid to show your feelings?" She offered. Derek sighed, Something like that, he thought. "What?" She asked.

"What do you mean what?"

"You said 'Something like that,'" She answered. That was outloud? he thought.

"No I didn't." He lied.

"I know what I head. Derek, I don't think you should be afraid to tell her how you feel." She said, her voice sounding much softer than usual. Yeah, try saying that after you find out that-

"We're step-siblings." His mouth finished what his mind was thinking.

Silence.

Until she- "So?"

What?!
