Dasey (Derek and Casey) Life With Derek

Depressed.

I wanted to help Casey but I understood where she was coming from and how she was feeling. She got ready for work and checked her phone and I knew she hoped she'd see a call from Lizard or Nora but those calls stopped and we where alone so she left for work and as I made my way to my car. My phone buzzed and I saw Lizzie's number.

"Lizzie!".

"Hi...Derek".

"Casey will be so happy you called but hold on why are you calling me?".

"I want to meet up,when are you available?".

"Ah my lunch break is at noon does that work?".

"That'll be fine can you meet me in the food court at the Eaton Center?".

"Sure".

Then she hung up I had an ominous feeling about this and felt sick in my gut but if I could repair. At least Casey's relationship with Lizzie then it'll be a start toward something. I went to work and did the usual run around helping the partners. When lunch rolled around I ran out of there to get to the Eaton Center. I looked around and saw Lizzie sitting at a table and she has changed with the piercings and some tattoos.

"Have a seat".

"Why so formal we're family?".

"Are we?".

"Lizzie if you came here to be hostile then I'm leaving".

"I'm sorry Derek please don't leave....I'm just struggling with your relationship with Casey I mean can you blame me!".

"I know I didn't plan for this but I genuinely love her".

"Then end it! Please! Derek the family is ripped apart and we miss you both but this isn't something anyone can accept".

"We aren't blood related".

"Baby Blake!".

"A half brother".

"But blood related!".

"We tried Lizzie but we hurt ourselves the longer we were apart".

"You are both HURTING EVERYONE YOU LOVE DON'T WE MATTER!".

"DON'T I AND CASEY MATTER!".

"What...of course you do!?".

"Doesn't our happiness matter?".

"It's not that serious Derek".

"The last time we ended things Casey nearly drowned herself in booze and I wasn't ok either....".

"Then you two have an unhealthy relationship".

"We love each other".

"Yeah but not being able to not be without one another isn't healthy".

"Lizzie please I am begging...call Casey she is scared but hopeful you'll call".

"I...can't".

"WHY!".

"BECAUSE I HATE HER AND YOU FOR BEING THIS SELFISH".

And like that Lizzie left the food court only then did I notice every neck turned our way. I felt dead inside and sad I wanted to cry but I made it through the day and made it home somehow carrying myself home. I saw Casey and she smiled at me,just that same beautiful smile.

"How was your day?".

"Um...nothing much or crazy just being a fetch it boy".

Casey kisses me and I just bring her in and hold her. I don't know how to bring up the conversation with Lizzie or how it ended so I don't. I just hold on to the most important person in my life a little tighter.
