Dasey (Derek and Casey) Life With Derek

Confrontation

I'd managed to avoid Dereks attempts to talk,I told him I was drunk but his concern never left his face.He left me but wanted some promise that we will talk about this.I knew we needed to but I didn't know how to explain it because I was confused.I love Derek but tonight I peeked behind the curtain and instead of a monster I saw a man.

I went to sleep stressed and in my dream I floated between dancing with him,Bradly comes in and in a dark suit while we sway I get kissed.I woke up and it was five forty in the morning and the distress I felt inside was a mix of guilty and another emotion I wasn't able to acknowledge.I got my favourite running pants on and a pink tank top,put my hair up and went out for a run.

Bradly was a sick man and it was not up to me to fix him,a person should be complete before entering a relationship. I was already in a pretty good place and happy.My morning got worse when I saw Brad just running up on me. "You run this trail to MacDonald?" He asked but this was a common student spot for morning runs or jogs "most people do?" It's strange that I haven't seen him on this trail before if he was a runner.

A million thoughts ran through my mind,was he the man I met last night or the monster who attempted to assault me. "You tried to rape me,you forced me to kiss you,you are messing with me and him so please stop".I didn't realize how hard I'd begged or how strained my voice sounded.

"I'm sorry for all of that,I was tired of trying to prove that I wasn't a monster that I said fuck it and you were there,I gave up".I was confused and sat down on the bench beside him and that's when he confessed that he didn't like doing this but the pressure from his dad who was part of that frat made him determined to stay.That his parents paid off girls who said they were victims when it was a fabrication.It didn't matter to his parents that they just wanted to have the family name protected. So he set up the cameras to protect himself in the future and that's why he knew a few P.I's.

I was skeptical because he'd attempted to hurt me but I could see that he was a little boy who just wanted daddy's love. I felt sorry for him and it made me sick to my stomach. He told me he could prove it if I'd come with him to his parents place that's close to the university.I knew this was a bad idea but I was curious and so I went.

I told him my only class today ends around two in the afternoon and to meet me at the Tim Hortons. He agreed and I went off to my dorm. With the class ending faster and my Econ professor happy with my report,I left and made it to the Tim Hortons where I saw him sitting by the same window seat and typing away on his laptop.

Bradly smiled and I felt guilty but nothing would happen and if I got him on our side then maybe he'd leave us alone.As the old saying goes keep your friends close and your enemies closer. I got in his nice Tesla while we listened to the radio on our way to his parents place.

"Will it be just us?" I asked and he said that his parents are rarely home and were always pretty absent.With a small smile that made me worried so I told him that I wanted his proof and then I'm heading back to the dorms. I wasn't surprised when I saw the sprawling marble manor we drove up to with a perfect lawn and Columns with a two door made of hand carved mahogany. "Follow me" I didn't need to be told twice this place seemed like you could get lost in it.

We made it to Bradlys room and I saw the files on all the girls and the P.I got into their emails where they talked about a payday and how they faked the injuries.I looked at him and he looked ashamed of it all but I realized this wasn't a monster but a hurt puppy. But he isn't my responsibility.

"This is a lot so I'm guessing you did the rest to stay at the frat and keep your dad happy?". He looked at the poster of a band on the wall and said "everything I do is so he sees me one day,my mom isn't around so he's all I have,I'm sorry Casey....for everything and I don't deserve forgiveness but I wanted you to see that there is a person still somewhere in here". I did and I told him I was glad for the trust and came by the side of his bed and gave him a hug.I could feel his heart beating and mine did beat a bit,I let go and our eyes caught one another I wanted him to kiss me.I wanted to kiss him but I smiled and got up.

"Let's head back,we can start over as friends?" Bradly smiled at me "okay,friends" and we came back to campus and he drove off. I turned and saw Derek waiting on a bench for me.
