AN: I don't own LWD
!WARNING ONE SEMI-VIOLENT SCENE! WARNING!
Chapter 9
Derek POV
I drove my way to Truman's house. When I got there I saw him going into his car. I then followed him until we reached a grocery store. He got out of his car, and I got out of mine. I sneakily followed him in. "Truman!" I yelled. He turned around and gave me a smug grin. I walked right up to him. I punched him in the face, knocking him down. He the kicked me and knocked me down. I then regained control and got on top of him, and kept punching the piece of scum. "Wipe that damn smug grin off your ugly face! I know what you did to Casey you monster! You deserve to rot in jail and I'm gonna make sure you go there!" I screamed at him. A second later two men pulled us off each other, Truman with a bloody nose, and me with a bruised cheek. "Someone call the police on this dirtbag!" I yelled.
A few moments later the police arrived, both taking us to the station for investigation.
Casey POV
I woke up the next morning surrounded by my mom and George. "Oh Casey! I'm so glad you're ok!" Nora said as she hugged me, while George smoothed my hair. "You didn't have to end our vacation early for me. I feel bad" I said. "Don't, you did nothing wrong Casey. We love you, so whenever you have a problem, we are always going to come help you, no matter what." George said. I then looked around for Derek, but he wasn't there. "Where's Derek?" I asked, only wanting Derek around. "Here!" Derek said, entering the room. I saw is bruised cheek, and I was immediately concerned. "What happened?" I asked him. "Just a small altercation. Dad, Nora, could I talk to Casey in private for a minute. "Sure." Nora replied for both of them, and they left the room.
"Look Casey, I had to see Truman, and defend you. We got into a fight, and I won. The police came and arrested him. They are gonna see you tomorrow at home after you leave the hospital in the morning." Derek said. I took a minute to process everything and then I replied, "Thank you Derek. For defending me and helping me. I'm sorry for not listening to you." "Hey, you have nothing to be sorry about. You try to see the good in everyone, and Truman was just one person who turned out to not have any good in him. You are at no fault for anything Ok?" He replied gently. I nodded slowly, feeling tears build up again. He sat next to me on the bed and hugged me tight.
The next morning I returned home, Lizzie, Marti, and Edwin were still at friend's houses because Nora and George didn't want them there when the police were. The police came and interview me, they then said that Truman was to be charged for assault and battery, and domestic abuse, he would be in jail for 50 years.
Derek POV
After the police left, Nora and George went to get groceries and pick up the kids, so it was just Casey and I. "Do you need anything?" I asked her. "Just someone to watch movies with me." She replied simply. I sat down next to her and he rested her head on me. "What are you thinking about?" I asked her. "Nothing, just feeling sad I guess." She said quietly. "You deserve better than that piece of trash. You deserve someone who will give you the world. You're too perfect to deserve any less." I told her honestly. She was silent for a moment before asking, "You really think I'm perfect?"
"Are you kidding? Of course you are. You're absolutely beautiful, smart, kind, funny, compassionate, deep, and interesting." She blushed deeply, which caused me to blush and turn away. We watched the movie in silence for a few minutes before Casey finally spoke up. "I really like you Derek. You are one of the few people I can really let my guard down. I feel like I can be anything with you, so thank you." This was exactly the kind of moment Sam told me to make a move at, so I lifted her chin to me and I planted a romantic, gentle and deep kiss to her.
I felt the fireworks and knew I had just unlocked something special.
