Derek shot his eyes toward Charlie when she hit the elevator button, pulling him out of his thoughts. "They're waiting for us," He stated, hearing the ding of the elevator. For a moment, he thought that he saw a glimpse of the usual Charlie. The same confident, smart-mouthed girl that he first met in that room. It was the first time Derek had seen her in days, and it made him feel ten times better than having some doctor tell him that she would physically be normal. Although, this motion seemed to have a hint of something more intense. She was angry at something. Probably at him for doing something very stupid, but Derek was doing the best that he could. There was no other way that he knew. As soon as it had appeared, it disappeared without a trace. Stepping inside of the elevator, Derek hit the button for the basement and leaned against the elevator with his arms crossed over his chest. His eyes continuously flickered over toward her, waiting to see if any other sign of Charlie would appear. He missed her dearly.
There wasn't a minute that went by that Derek didn't beat himself up for this. He couldn't shake the feeling that this was all his fault since it was completely his fault, and he should have never sent her on that date with Anderson. Derek was trying to fix it though in any way that he could, but there was no amount of money in the world that could make time rewind. This was the first time he had even disobeyed his father, and he would do anything in his power to make her feel normal again. She just needed to talk to him and tell him what she needed. He couldn't read her mind or just know exactly what she needed. Derek was trained to be a businessman and not a friend or a lover. He barely passed as a brother and a son.
Sliding into the limousine, Derek briefly closed his eyes and pictured their moment from a few days ago. Their fingers had brushed and that alone sent a ripple of electricity through his body. The way that they instinctively wanted each other was a once in a lifetime feeling. Now, he was too afraid to break her from the slightest touch. "To the doctor's, please," He requested, relaxing against the seat.
