wolvenprinc's blog: "Saving Casey"

Chapter Three Well I'm back, sorry it has taken my so long to update it, So much stuff got in the way school, my parents splitting up, so heres the next chapter. Thank you for all the reviews I go so many and it means a alot. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Derek was on hit computer looking stuff up on leukemia. It was Saturday afternoon and Derek couldn't shake the look on Casey's face out his of his mind.' Why did she look that way?' he wondered. He sighed and got off of the computer and went down stairs to get some thing to drink. When he got downstairs, he couldn't find anyone, and shrugged it off since it was Saturday George and Nora probably took the kids out to do soomething like they did every weekend. Derek turned the corner and jumped almost out of his skin. He grabbed ahold of the wall and tried to control his heart and breathing, he saw Casey sitting on the counter reading a book of some sort. Finally catching his breath, he let out a breath before entering the kitchen. "Hey." He said walking by her to the fridge and opened it. "Hey," She returned back softly and went back to reading. Derek looked around the fridge before grabbing the orange juice and closed the door, walking to get a glass and and poured some juice into it and leaned up against the counter sipping the juice. He looked to Casey and watched her turn to the next page. "So...uh what are you reading?" he asked trying to start a least for once a civil conversation. Over the couple of months of fighting and getting on her nerves, but he did find out even though she was a control freak sometime, she was also a pretty cool person, but doesn't let anyone know what he thinks. Casey looked up at him and then marked her place in her book. "Oh its on Leukemia." She told him. "Do you think that it will help with our paper?" he asked. "Some of it can, and we can look other places as well." Casey suggested to him. "Good, we'll look on the net too." Derek voiced his source. Casey nodded and leaned back and yawned. She was really tired this morning and that was very unusual, She went to bed around 11 and woke up at 8:30. She didn't know why she was so tired. Derek looked at her, she was beautiful. He then looked her up and down, then rested his gaze on her face. " You okay?" He asked noticing the tired look on her face. He was getting a little concern, she had been acting weird for the last couple of days. "Just a little tired." She assured Derek. Half of it was true, she was more tired then she let on. Derek nodded and just looked at her, there was something different about her and she was a little paler then yesterday. He turned around and poured her cup of orange juice and handed it to her. "So do you want to get started on the paper? Since theres nothing else to do today, and it needs to be worked on." He looked at her. Casey nodded," Where do you want to start?" she asked. Derek thought about it for a couple of seconds and then said, " The internet and then we'll look at the book." He told her. Casey looked at him and got off the counter, when she did the world seemed to go around and around, so she tried to grab a hold of something to steady herself, but she felt two arms, two strong arms wrap themselves around around her waist to help her regain her balance. She shook her head to rib herself of the dizziness from her head. She put a hand on her head and sighed. "You okay?" She heard Derek asked softly. "Yeah I'm fine." She stated, the dizziness had past and she turned around to face him. "Thanks." She said gently and gave him a small smile. "You're welcome." He said, but worry was still present in his voice. He lifted and hand and pushed the hair out of her face , thats had fallen in her face and came back to reality and unwrapped his arms from her. He liked having his arms around her in fact he wouldn't mind just holding her. " So...um how about we get started on that project?" Casey asked, hoping to avoid that matter at hand. She was sure about him but she felt completely safe in his arm and that she could forget about everything that happend a few years ago. "Okay." He said and started wo walk back to the stairs, then turned back. "You coming?" he turned back and walked up the stairs. "Yeah." She muttered, wondering how she was going to get through this project with out spilling the truth or falling apart about what happened five years ago. - - - Four or five hours later, the had spent most of the day in Derek's room on his computer, looking things up on Leukemia to put in the paper. They had found many sites on the cancer and most of the stuff Casey already knew but kept quiet about it, didn't want him to call her a know-it-all or get suspicious on how she knew so much stuff on it. They then moved down stairs to the kitchen table and were busy at work. Books, papers, pens, and highlighters were scattered all over the table. Casey was looking in an encyclopedia, looking at Leukemia. She was busy reading when the back door opened and Edwin and Lizzie came walking in. "Hey guys what are you doing?" Lizzie asked sitting down in a chair next to Casey. Lizzie looked at what Casey was looking at and felt her back stiffened. Lizzie looked at Casey and her eyes started to fill up with tears. Edwin noticed this and nudged Derek and bent his head towards Lizzie, Derek saw her eyes as well. Lizzie then got up and ran upstairs to her room. Casey saw her face and knew probably what she was thinking, so she got up and followed Lizzie upstairs. Downstairs, Edwin and Derek watched the scene in front of them, then looked at each other. "What do you think that was about?" asked Edwin. Derek shook his head. "No Idea." "Casey has been acting very weird latelt. I wonder why." Edwin said. "You're right, yesterday when I told her about our assignment she froze up completely." Derek informed Edwin. "Do you don't think their hiding something from us do you?" Edwin asked, "I don't know." Derek looked at Edwin "Huh, So what do we do? Tell Dad or Nora or what?" Edwin asked. "No not yet. Its probably nothing big.( Bigger than you think.) Just don't say anything to anybody, and I'll watch Casey and you watch Lizzie." Derek told him. Edwin nodded. - - - Casey raced upstairs and to go into her sister's room but found the door closed, so being polite she knocked and listend. She heard a sniffle and then a reply. "Go away." the voivce said. "Lizzie." Casey said. "Go away Casey." "No I'm not going away. Now open up." Casey said through the door. "No." Lizzie said again, but louder. Casey knocked again. "I'm not answering the door so you might as well giver up." Lizzie stated. "Alright then, I'm just going to keep knocking until you do answer the door." Casey said. There was no surprise when she heard the door being unlocked. The last one had worked. "What?" Lizzie asked annoyed. "Hey can I sit down?" Casey asked. "Sure, why not." Lizzie held the door open to let Casey in and then closed it once again. "Are you okay?" Casey asked as she looked at Lizzie. "Yes." Lizzie stated. "No your not, It just a paper for school thats all." Casey assured. Lizzie sighed." Oh. So thats all it was. So no cancer. okay good." Lizzie smiled and hugged her sister who of course hugged back. - ----------------------------------- Well there Chapter three. I got so many review last chapter and I thank you for that.
