A/N: I only own the OC's.

rachel, flowerpowers, Kizzyfur, wades wife miamitravel, and xMyheartshine- thank you for the reviews on the last chapter of Ex Factor. I hope that you will enjoy the sequel.

I need ideas about who you want to be Casey's love interest in the sequel... I'm up for ideas. Let me know.

I hadn't been back in two years, except to go to Sari's wedding. I was in town for that, saw as few people as possible, and left before anyone, other than Sari knew it. I would be lying if I said that I missed it. I missed the friends, the traveling, and the other stuff that the WWE offered that TNA didn't. I ended up at TNA 6 months after doing POH and Indy shows. I liked it and it let me stay in Florida where I could almost live a normal life.

I had been in talks with Stephanie about coming back to the WWE. She wanted me to come back because they were trying to refocus on the women's division. They had hired Kia, Karma, Beth, and they had Trish doing some more promos to promote more within the women's division. I was surprised and flattered that they wanted me back. I was glad to go back for the most part.

I had kept in touch with Adam and we finally resolved everything. We knew that we were just going to be better friends than lovers at this point. I now considered him my best friend; I wanted him to be that. I hadn't talked to Stu since the day I walked away from him, over two years ago, and Sari said that he asked about me for the first year before becoming enamored with the new diva, Kaitlyn. I was glad that he finally moved on, because I knew that we wouldn't have worked. I wanted to be with someone I could trust.

I also knew that a certain red-headed superstar hadn't found anyone in two years. He had apparently tried to date Eve, with no luck, and given up. He would still text me and I even saw him once when I was in the same town the WWE was; he still looked good. I wanted to go back into the WWE, but I didn't want to have any set ideas. I had other priorities now and that meant different things to me. I didn't care to party as much, go out late, or even find that Mr. Right. I didn't care.

I sat in the hotel room and sighed, I had to do this sometime. I left a little while later to go to the arena. I was nervous, but I knew that I had Sari waiting on me. I got there, got my badges and other things before going straight to the diva's locker room. I walked in and got pulled into a hug.

"Long time no see." Beth said as she smiled at me.

"Yeah, well, I couldn't stay away forever." I said and she smiled at me. I turned around and about got knocked over by Sari who hugged me.

"I'm so glad your back." she said and I smiled.

"Me too." I said and she nodded.

I got ready and Sari was so excited that I was coming back. I was glad to work with Kia again, since I had worked with her at TNA before she left. I made my debut and the crowd went wild; I was glad to be back. I knew that I had really missed this. I got done and walked backstage. Jay, Stephen, Heath, Paul, Eve, and a few others were waiting for me when I got back there. I hugged everyone and it felt great to be back. I was standing there with Stephen and he smiled.

"Yeh got a minute?" he asked me and I nodded.

We started walking towards his locker room.

"Ah know that the last time ah saw you was an interesting time, but ah want yeh to know that if nothin else Ah still want to be friends with yeh. Ah didn't wait around two years for yeh, but yeh know what I'm trying to say." He said and I smiled.

"I do, Ste. I think that friends are great, especially since it was more or less and drunk night that we took advantage of each other." I said and he pulled me in for a hug.

I finished talking to him and finally made my way to the locker room. I changed and was going out tonight with Heath, Sari, Tony, Paul, and a few others. I still hadn't seen Stu and I was sorta grateful for that. I was walking with Sari when I looked back and I saw Stu walk out of a locker room. He did a double take as we walked off and I just smirked as I turned back to Sari. I was glad for that reaction from him.

We got to the restaurant and I was sitting by Paul and Sari. I knew that Paul had just broken up with Barbie. We were having fun when Paul started to talk to me.

"You glad to be back?" he asked me and I smiled.

"Yeah, it's nice." I said and he smiled. I never realized how nice of a smile he had, probably because I was always with Stu.

We ended up talking most of the nights and doing some shots. He walked me back to my room when we got to the hotel.

"I'm glad your back." he said and I smiled.

"Thanks, Paul… I'm glad you're still here." I said and he laughed.

"Night, Case." He said.

"Night, Paul." I said and walked into my room. I got ready to fall on the bed, but noticed that I had something lying on my bed. I picked it up and it was a note with a rose. I opened the envelope and read the letter.

Casey,

Glad to see that you are back… you looked spectacular in the ring. I wanted to thank you for giving me a wake-up call 2 years ago. I am a better person because you didn't let me get away with anything. I would be lying if I said that I didn't miss you or still think about you. I do and I still love you. I didn't write this out to get you to come back to me, but I would like it if we were still in each other's lives.

Love always,

Stu

I smiled as I smelled the rose; it was a pink rose… he knew they were my favorites. I put it in water and fell asleep a few minutes later. I really was glad to be back, but this was just day one. I knew that the rest wouldn't go this smoothly.

A/N: Let me know what you think so far.
