Chapter 2- Out with the old and in with the new.

Casey's POV-

I was really upset about the events that happened today. First of all, the love of my life, aka Sam, cheats on me with no other than two girls! So I get really upset and ended up slapping him in the face. I mean who wouldn't after getting cheated on? Anyway, after slapping him I throw the sentimental necklace he gave me on the floor and run out of his house. The rest of the day I just basically moped around and let the misery have me. Then mom called for dinner and I was a complete mess in my own tears. I went down stairs and sat down with the family not even thinking about my appearance.

When I sat down I couldn't help but to notice the fact that my whole family was staring at me. Of course I had to ask them what was wrong and no one responded until Derek's obnoxious and crude remark. After what he said I just couldn't take it and couldn't fight back my tears so I just ran upstairs and tried to hold myself hostage in my room and try to drown myself and my tears into a My Chemical Romance song. I worked for about two minutes until a certain someone knocked on my door.

I went to answer it and when I did it turned to be last person I would ever expect to be there, Derek. I was so mad at that point so I slammed the door in his face. I turned around and headed for my computer until I heard a knock on my door again. I opened the door and found him by my doorway with a smirk on his face. I couldn't believe that he had the nerve to even think of knocking again and then smile about the situation. I asked him if he could make my life more miserable than it already is and then he had the nerve to ask me why my life was miserable. I then muttered 'like he would care' to my self, but he obviously heard and then he told me that he actually did care. I was so shocked that I practically choked on my own saliva!

Nobody's POV-

" Are you sure that you want to hear this?" Casey asked still in shock.

"Casey, just kind of think of me as your shrink" Derek replied with a smirk.

"Okay," Casey said with a short smile "It all started when I went to Sam's house because he said he had something important to tell me. He told me that I should sit down, so I did. Then he asked if I knew his 'other' sisters, Kristy and Kelly. Then sarcastically I told him that it wasn't really his sisters and that they were probably his girlfriends. Then he looked at me with guilt and then I realized that what I said was actually true." Casey said while starting to sob.

At that point Derek didn't know what to do. Derek Venturi never tried to comfort a girl before, unless you count 6- year- old Marti crying because she lost her purple pony.

Derek did what he thought was right, which was having her burry her head into his shoulder and let her cry her heart out (in which left him with a wet sleeve, but he didn't mind much).

Soon they both feel asleep in each other's arms completely unaware of what their family would say about this situation.

The next morning…

CASEY'S POV-

"Mmm," was the first thing I said as I rolled over. I turned to my side to find... Derek in my bed! But then I recalled the previous events that happened before. I smiled. Last night Derek was so, un-Dereklike. It was truly great. I wonder if he would act like that today. I sure hope so. I just can't stand his daily concededness, at least not now. I study his facial features for a moment. He's so cute when he's asleep. Wait a second, did I just call my stepbrother cute! No, no this can't be happening to me. I can't think that Derek is cute, It's so wrong he's my STEPbrother, but it feels so right at the same time.

I stare at Derek's face a bit longer until he starts to stir. I think to myself and I realized that was about to wake up any minute. I was just about to get up and not make myself look like a total idiot staring at him. I guess it was the perfect time too because just as I was about to move his eyes fluttered open and he gave me his most famous smirk.

"You like what you see?" he asked me, "Because I have a strange feeling that you have been looking for a long time."

I began to panic; he knows that I was watching him, I think.

"Don't flatter yourself Venturi." I willingly teased back at him.

"Ouch, that hurt", he said with a fake expression of pain.

"Good, It should've", I teased back.

"Hey." He said in a hurt manor.

He got up and then pinned me down to the bed and was just about to kiss me until the door opened.

"Casey?" asked the confused child.

"Lizzie?!" We both asked/shouted in unison.

Well that's the end of chapter 2. Please Review and tell me how you liked it... I know, I know I left you on another cliffhanger again lol. If you have any suggestions for the next chapter please let me know.

Until next time,

Or should I say next chapter,lol,
