<strong>Derek with the family eating</strong><br/><br/>Derek pushed his food around his plate and slowly ate it, listening to everything that was happening. He felt bad that he hadn't tried to comfort her more. He needed to get his mind off of it.<br/><br/>After scooping the last bit of food into his mouth, he wiped it with his napkin. "It was delicious, Melonie, thank you so much," he said finishing his bite before putting the napkin on the plate. He gave her a sweet smile before continuing. "I think I will go work on my project from earlier," he said as he stood up. "If anyone needs me, I'll be in my room," he said with a smile. He looked towards Devlin and gave her a similar smile too before turning to his dad and continuing. "Give my love to mom for me," he said walking towards the entrance to the dining room.<br/><br/>But instead of going straight up the stairs, he made a detour to the kitchen and grabbed the DVDs he hide before. Tucking them away in his shirt, he went out the back way and back up the stairs to his room, which he closed the door behind him.
