Teirney woke up in Derek's arms and smiled.

She tried to sneak out without waking him but she didn't succeed.

"Good morning sunshine!!!" Derek said stretching and sitting up.

"Good morning… I really don't have food in the house but I have money burning a hole in my pocket…. Wanna make a trip to Waffle House??" Teirney suggested standing up and grabbing some clothes to get dressed.

"Sure but let's see if Casey is awake first…." Derek said getting up to go to his room and do the same as Teir.

When Derek opened the door there stood Casey with her hand raised like she was about to knock.

"Ummm….. Wait why am I surprised…. Bad dream??" Casey looked past Derek and looked at Teir who nodded her head to confirm what she said.

"We were thinking of going to Waffle House for breakfast, you in??" Derek asked Casey as he walked to his room.

"Sure…" Casey said, "I'm already ready!!!"

Teirney and Derek got ready and all 3 of them went to Waffle House for breakfast.

"I'll pay for breakfast you guys…." Teirney suggested.

"Ummm…. No….." Derek injected, "I will NOT let a girl pay for me…"

"Well I work here I could probably get us a good deal…."

"Fine whatever…. But I'm still paying…."

Teirney just smiled flirtaously.

The waitress came and took their orders and brought out there drinks.

"OK…. I have to ask…. Why did we come to Waffle House instead of eating at the house???" Casey wondered.

"O cause…. Well….. Didn't really have time to go to the store for groceries…." Teirney said sipping on her drink, "I was kinda dealing with some stuff and then it was time to come see you…. "

"What kind of things???" Derek asked.

"O things with…. Umm........ Josh" Teirney coughed out.

"What things with Josh??" Derek stared at her and tried to guess before she said anything.

"Can we stop with the questions now…" Teirney shrieked.

Derek just raised his hands and gave up.

"Although I have one more question… Casey… when is the family coming?? I'm starting to miss Marti!!!" Derek asked.

"Aw… that's sweet!!!..." Teirney said.

"They get here Friday…." Casey said.

Just then the waitress brought them the food and check.

The teens ate and talked about mindless stuff. When they got home Casey and Teirney sat in the living room and watched TV and gabbed about anything and everything, while Derek went to his room and unpacked and tried to think of how Josh could have hurt Teir.

Whatever he did…. She definitely didn't deserve it…. But what was it??

Just then he heard a knock at the door.

"Enter if you must…." Derek hollered putting clothes in the drawers.

"Hey Derek" Casey said coming in and just plopping down on the bed, "Can I ask you a question??"

"If you must…"

"You know how Teir was hurt by Josh right??"

"Yea what happened??" Derek said turning around.

"I can't really tell you… that's for her to…."

"O come on you can tell me a little…. I mean she would want the guy who reminds her of her dead brother….."

"You would think so… huh…. Haha…. But if she wants you to know she'll tell you….. Wait why do you wanna know so badly???"

"What do you mean??"

"I mean you are really interested on knowing what happened??"

"I'm not allowed to care about anyone or anything???"

"Umm…. Not when you're…. well YOU…." Casey said as she got up and started to walk out when Derek stopped her.

"Fine… If you must know…. I think I'm falling in love with her…." Derek said as he went to sit on the bed.

"You just met her??"

"You've heard of love at first sight right??"

"Yea but…. I don't know it just sounds weird…."

"What sounds so weird??"

"The fact that you are in love with my best friend after a week of knowing her….." Casey said almost yelling.

"SHHHH…. Don't yell it…. I don't want her to know…" Derek said running over and covering her mouth up.

Casey pushed his hand down. "Don't worry…. She's in the living room…. We're in the back of the house… she won't hear us…."

"You know what …. I think you're jealous….." Derek said as he flopped down on his bed sideways.

"Jealous of what???"

"The fact that she has a great guy wanting her…. And you don't have anyone…."

"That's not true…. Truman still wants me…."

"Yea….. That's only because he wants to get in your pants….. He has since he met you….."

"Yea….. But he wants me….. Right???"

"Yea but not the way you should want him to want you….. He should want to be with you for the rest of your life…. Kinda like Noel use to…. Not just get in your pants…." Derek said rolling to his back and basking in his brilliance.

"And that's how you feel about Teir??"

"Yep…."

"Really???!!! You want to spend the rest of your life with my best friend??" Casey said sitting on the end of the bed because her head was getting dizzy.

"Well…. I figure she lost her Stephen once and now she has a chance to get him back….. And I wouldn't want to be the reason she lost her Stephen again….." Derek said with a crooked smile.

"Yea I guess I see your point…"

Just then they heard a door slam open.

"JOSH GET OUT!!!"

"Why Teir Bear??? Don't you love me anymore?? You know that you have never had a greater experience than you had with me that night…. And you know you want me to do it again….." Josh said walking up to her.

"Touch me and I swear Josh you'll pay for it….." Teir said backing up.

"What are you going do Teir??? Sick that wimp on me??? He couldn't even beat me up with both hands tied behind my back…." Josh said with a massive chuckle.

"Josh I'm serious….. GET THE FUCK OUT!!!!"

"There's no need to be so mean Teir…. I just wanna talk with you…. I mean I am paying for your house still….. You do remember that don't you…. I'm doing you a favor…. I could let you fend for yourself….."

"I'm not fending for myself…. I got roommates and they would help me pay…. Now LEAVE!!!!"

"No…. now be a good girl…." Josh backed her onto the couch and climbed on top of her, "And shut your mouth…."

Teirney slapped him and ran down the hall…… while running she ran into Derek.

Josh followed her.

Teirney pushed Derek outta the way and ran into her room and locked the door.

"O TEIR BEAR!!!..... Come out come out wherever you are…." Josh said walking up to the door and knocking.

"Dude… how about you just leave her alone…. She obviously doesn't want you here…." Derek said.

"Dude…. How about you just…. Mind your own fucky business….." Josh continued knocking on Teir's door. "Teir…. Please I really just wanna talk…. PLEASE BABY!!!..... I LOVE YOU!!!"

Just then the door unlocked and Teir stood in the door way, "What do you want??" she said leaning up against the door frame.

"May I come in??"

"No…. you wanna talk…. TALK!!!"

"I wanna talk in private…" Josh said in an almost whisper.

"You lost that request when you did what you did…."

"And just what was that that I did Teir Bear??"

"You know what you did Josh!!!! I don't have to tell you….."

"Well THEY," he said tilting his head towards Derek and Casey, "don't know what I did. Why don't you tell them Teir…?"

"Josh just leave…." Teir said slamming her door shut.

Josh caught it before she could get it all the way shut, "I'm not that easy to get rid of….." Josh then pushed her in the room some more.

"Now I was going to be nice and just talk it out but you've pushed me over the edge Teir Bear….. Now LAY DOWN…." Josh then pushed her on the bed and started to rip her clothes off. Teirney started pushing him off and trying to fight him again, but he completely knocked her out with one strong slap across the face.

Casey then ran into the room, "GET OFF OF HER YOU OGRE….." Casey said slamming her fist into Josh's back. He turned and threw her off his back and knocked her into the wall and she nearly knocked out.

Derek then ran in and grabbed the back of Josh's shirt and pulled him off of Teir turned him around and gave him one good punch to the face.

Josh stood back up and readjusted his jaw, then took swing at Derek. Derek ducked then punched him in the stomach. He then picked josh up by his shirt again and started to walk him out.

When they got to the front door Derek threw Josh out. Josh then stood up and said, "I'm not done with you got me buddy, you may have won the battle, but you better believe I'll win the war…."

Derek just slammed the door, and then ran back to Teir's room.

When he got back Casey was starting to sit up and rub her head. Teir was still out on the bed.

He ran over and tried to wake her up.

"Stephen??" she said kinda opening her eyes.

"No, it's Derek…. " He said smiling and hugging her.

"O…. where's Stephen??" Teirney asked.

"Teir…. Stephen died several years ago…." Derek told her.

Teirney then buried her face into Derek and started to cry. Derek just held her.

"Stephen…. If you can hear me..... He almost did it again…… Stephen I need you…… Stephen where are you????"

"I'm here…." Derek said to try and cheer her up, "I have you….. I'm going anywhere…." Derek held her closer.

She then started to drift off into a peaceful sleep.

The next morning Teirney had woken up like nothing happened.

She walked into the living room where Casey and Derek were bickering over something.

"What are ya'll fighting about now??" Teirney asked.

"O nothing ju…." Derek tried to say before Casey cut him off.

"Derek wants to know what you meant by he tried it again Stephen…." Casey said like it was one word.

"O…." Teirney went and sat on the couch. "Well…. I guess I should tell you what Josh did to me…."

"Umm yea… after all that madness yesterday I think I deserve to know what the hell is going on…." Derek said looking at Casey.

"It's not my story to tell…." Casey said sticking her tongue out.

"Welll….. Ummm….. About a few months ago…. While Josh and I were still living together…. He got really drunk one night… Just like I imagine he was yesterday…. And he kinda…." Teirney closed her eyes to try and hold back the tears, "…. Forced himself on me….."

Derek's jaw dropped. He was speechless. He figured that it was bad…. But he never thought it was that bad.
