AN: I don't own LWD

Sort of Inspired by the song "My Life Would Suck Without You" by Kelly Clarkson, which I don't own, lyrics are in italics.

#52 Catch Me

Three days earlier…

"So you're not going to fight for us?" Casey McDonald asked crossing her arms, looking at Derek Venturi expectantly. Both were fuming after a trivial fight they were currently in the middle of. "Well Princess I'm not going to apologize if that's what you're insinuating." He said angrily. "Then I guess neither of us have anything left to say. I'm going then. Goodbye Derek." She said, turning on her heel and out the door.

Present..

I really shouldn't miss you, but I can't let you go

The apartment was a mess; garbage covered the tables and kitchen, the bed was unmade, and Derek looked like a wreck. He hadn't been able to sleep, rest, shower, and eat properly, he'd been filling up on ice cream and beer.

Maybe I was stupid for telling you goodbye; maybe I was wrong for trying to pick a fight

Finally he couldn't take it anymore, he had to win his girl back. He called and texted Casey like crazy but she wouldn't respond. Finally he had to call Lizzie, "Lizzie, I made a huge mistake. I need to talk to her and see her, please tell me where she is." He begged, yes, begged. Lizzie sighed but knew that Casey had been bummed about the breakup too, "She's at the airport, and she is getting on a flight to Boston to visit Emily. If you want her though you better hurry." She warned. Derek quickly hung up with Lizzie and flew to his car, speeding his way to the airport.

"Flight 329 route to Boston, Massachusetts, USA is going to be calling for boarding in 5 minutes." The flight attendant's voice boomed over the intercom. Casey picked up her bag and headed closer to the gate. Casey looked at her phone and felt her heart swell in her throat when she looked at the background of her phone; a picture of Derek kissing her on the cheek, a big smile on Casey's face.

You got a piece of me

Boarding was now called and Casey gathered her things and headed to the gate. When she was almost in the gate, she heard someone yelling, "Casey!" She turned around and saw Derek running towards her. She stepped aside and waited for him to reach her, "Derek what are you doing here?" She asked. "Fighting for us." He whispered, grabbing her face and pulling her into a deep kiss.

And honestly, my life would suck without you
