Hey There Delilah, What's it Like In New York City

I'm a Thousand Miles Away

But Girl Tonight You Look So Pretty, Yes You Do

Time's Square Can't Shine As Bright As You, I Swear It's True

[Hey There Delilah – Plain White T's]

I was home and on my computer when I got an invite to skype. I didn't recognize the name but I accepted it anyways. I was very surprised when I saw Casey pop up on the screen.

"Casey?"

"Derek! I got it to work! I'm so excited...you are the first one I did this with."

"How did you even know my screen name?"

"Oh, I called and asked Marti. She also talked me through setting it up."

"Well, it's good to see you."

"You too, Derek."

This was so awesome. I'm so happy right now. And then I realized I was wearing my boxers and that's it.

"Sorry about my...um...lack of clothing, Case. I really wasn't expecting anyone to skype me tonight."

"Yeah I know...it's okay. Looking good."

That sent a thrill down my spine.

"Yeah...I know...I'm so hott. How was practice today?"

"It was okay. Pretty normal."

"You looked all dressed up. Going out tonight?"

Truth was she looked amazing. Absolutely gorgeous. And he was slightly jealous about the reason she looked like that.

"Oh...yeah I went and got drinks with Carla earlier. No big deal."

"That's cool."

"I hate being so far away from you, Derek. It sucks. Sometimes I just need my best friend."

It did suck. It sucked so bad. But for a whole different reason than what Casey was saying.

"I know. I feel the same."

"So, I told the guys in the show that you are coming. They're excited. I've already got your tickets and I'll give them to you. I'm guessing you want to stay at my apartment, right?"

"If that's okay with you."

"Yeah. And I'll make sure you can get backstage and all that. I'm so excited."

"I know. I can hear you squealing. But, yeah I'm excited too."

"I heard you are going to start filming your new movie. Are you excited?"

"I guess. It's not exactly what I would do, the concept and all, but it's okay."

"Oh and I heard you are going to film with Veronica Stilts. She's so gorgeous."

"She's alright."

"Come on, Derek, she's hott. Even the gay guys I work with want to date her."

"I know someone better that's all."

"Oh yeah? Who?"

Why did he just say that? He can't tell her that the only girl he thinks is amazing and gorgeous is her.

"No one you know."

"Well, I need to meet her. I'm your best friend and it's my right."

"Okay. One day."

"Good. Well, I'm going to go for now. I'll talk to you later Der. Schedule your flight."

"Bye Case. I will and I'll let you know."

She was then gone from his computer screen and he missed her immediately. His apartment was decidedly a lot more quiet and almost eerie without her laughter and voice ringing out. Why did he have to fall in love with the girl that once made him crazy? How could he have fallen in love with the girl that he hated at one point? She was his step-sister and now his best friend. And there wasn't a thing he could do about it.

Wonder what's gonna happen? I think I know...hmmm...
