My first Life with Derek fic so please be nice... And enjoy it. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Casey stirred in her sleep, turning over to her right side, opening her eyes and squinting at the sudden brightness of the morning sunlight. She sat up and yawned and stretched and got out of bed and walked out to the hallway. Still not quite awake, she walked sleepily down the hall to the bathroom; she was almost there when she bumped into someone. "Watch where you are going Casey. Jeez not even 7 o'clock and your already bumping into people." Derek looked at Casey who glared back at him and walked around him, not ready to deal with his crap, it was just too early, and when into the bathroom. She took quick shower, washing her hair, and quick soaping and then getting out, brushing her teeth and her hair and getting dressed for school and while she was doing this, she started to feel a bit queasy, not paying attention to it she headed down stairs, where her mother was making eggs for breakfast. Everyone else coming down or already eating. The younger kids Edwin and Lizzie were eating cereal. Derek was eating eggs and cereal. Casey looked at the food, still feeling sick; she decided to go with some toast so no one would question her. She stayed quiet all the way through breakfast. A little bit later, she got up and walked out the door and started walking towards the school. A few minutes later, and deep in thought, she heard someone running behind her and was still unaware when that person who happened to be Derek fell into step with her. Derek looked at Casey and raised both of his eyebrows at her. ' She's being too quiet,' Derek thought to himself. " So Case, How you doing?" Derek asked. "Fine." Casey replied back and started to walk a little faster. Derek didn't believe her, so he reached out and grabbed her wrist and pulled her back. "What?" she snapped and glared at him. ' Ah..there she blows.' He smiled to himself. "Nothing, except that your really quiet." He shot back. "I'm fine, now let me go." she said and pulled her wrist from his grasp. She quickly walked way. Derek watched her walk away with confusion and amusement and shrugged it off, thinking it was probably was one of her mood swings, so he started to walk again. ---------------------------------------------------------- Later on... Casey sat in her third period class, which was History, learning about World War 2. She sighed and wished this class would hurry up. She sighed again and laid her head down on her arm and looked out the window. It had gotten cloudy and it looked like it would start raining at anytime now. The bell rang and Casey grabbed her book and headed to lunch. She still wasn't feeling good, so she chose a salad and sat down and took a big sip of her diet coke. (AN: I don’t know what she likes to drink, but she looks like a person who would drink diet drinks on the show.) She began to eat slowly. Derek got a burger, fries, and two cokes and went in to find a seat, looking for any of his friends. He saw Casey sitting by herself and made his way on over to her. "Do you mind if I sit here for today. Since you’re alone and look like you need to talk so do you mind? Derek asked. She shrugged and Derek blinked at her and sat down anyway. He sighed. "Whets wrong?" She looked at him as if she just noticed him. "Huh?" She looked at him in confusion. "You okay?" Derek looked at her, he was now worried. She had been acting of all day. "I'm fine." She insisted. "That’s bull and you know it Casey." Derek glared at her. " I just don't feel good okay? That’s all." She said in a quiet yet a firm voice. Derek looked at her for a second and nodded at her answer and went back to eating. ------------------------------------------ Casey was in her room doing her math homework, when her stepfather George yelled that dinner was ready. She was feeling better and was hungry, so she closed her book and went down stairs to eat dinner. The family sat at the dinner table. " So Casey how did school go?" Nora asked her daughter. "It was fine Mom." She answered back. Derek shook his head and finished eating and headed back up to his room where he sat on his computer playing games, looking at hot models and sports cars. He saw Casey walk by his door and returned his attention to his computer. ---------------------------------- In her room Casey laid on her bed listening to her I pod and had the volume up to the highest. Her shirt had risen slightly and she put her hand on her stomach and she tapped her fingers to the beat of the music and she winced slightly. She looked down and saw a round bruise on the middle of her stomach. She pulled off her headphones and walked to the mirror and pulled her shirt up so she could look at the bruise. She touched it again and winced slightly little, it was a little sore and a bit tender. She shrugged it off and went back to her bed and put the headphone back on and listened to the music until she fell asleep --------------------------------------- Okay this was the first chapter.
