Scott awoke to a headache and a hard on from hell, and something warm and soft pressed tightly in his arms. He ran his hands over the female form, it felt good, smooth, soft. He sighed , he had dreamed about kissing someone last night, he grinned maybe it wasn't a dream, did Dana show up at the game last night , he couldn't remember.

Scott turned and pulled the warm body next to him, he opened his eyes, if Scott would have been the kind of man that screams, he would have, instead, he jumped out of the bed, he saw his jeans on the floor and pulled them on, thank God she was fully dressed, he began to wonder, had he kissed her last night, or was it a dream, he assumed if he had, Maddy would mention it, then again, she may not.

He pulled his shirt on and left the room.

Maddy awoke and turned on her back, she seen that Scott was missing and she got up and went to the bathroom.

She came out and headed downstairs, and into the kitchen where she found Scott and Kurt. Kurt was cooking breakfast. "Hungry?"

"Yea starved." She said pouring some coffee. She stopped beside Scott and bent and kissed his cheek.

She was guessing he didn't remember the kiss, since he wasn't acting weird.

Scott was relieved, he must have just dreamed the kiss, he was sure if had kissed Maddy, she would be acting weird. "Morning Sugar."

"Morning."

Kurt fixed them plates of bacon and eggs and toast and they sat down to eat. "I have to work tonight , do you want to come and hang out." Scott asked.

Maddy grinned. "Of course, I do."

Scott grinned. "Good..tomorrow we'll do anything you want."

"Can we rent a boat and go out for the day, take a picnic?" Maddy asked buttering her toast.

"Sure honey..sounds like fun." Scott said.

Maddy grinned, she was relieved in a way he didn't remember the kiss, cause she knew if he did it would freak him out, it was better this way, but she would remember it forever.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Maddy smiled and went to stand beside Scott, he was stopping the boat, he cut the engine and dropped the anchor. "So you want to swim a bit before we eat?"

"Sure." Maddy said and pulled her t-shirt and shorts off.

Scott about choked and he turned away from her and pulled his shirt off. my God the girl was built and had on the smallest bikini he had ever seen. "Joe let you dress like that?" He choked out.

"Well I kinda bought it without him knowing about it." She admitted.

Scott just shook his head, he guess it was normal for a girl that looked like Maddy to want to show it off, he didn't say anything more, instead he grabbed her and threw her off the edge of the boat.

She came up laughing. "You big meanie."

Scott just laughed and jumped in. They spent about an hour swimming and dunking each other.

Scott swam over to the ladder. "C'mon, I'm starving."

Maddy nodded and swam over, Scott leaned over the edge of the boat and helped her up. He handed her a towel, and she wrapped it around herself and they went below deck to the kitchen.

Maddy got out the chicken and potato salad she had made for them. "Want tea?"

Scott nodded and sat down. He filled a plate for himself and one for Maddy.

Maddy handed him a glass of tea and sat down. They didn't say anything for a few minutes both just eating.

"Maddy I'm sorry I got so drunk last night, I don't like to act like that around you." Scott said.

Maddy smiled at Scott. "It's okay..I'm just worried about you, you don't drink like that all the time do you?"

Scott lied his ass off. "No of course not, I just had a few to many last night, I don't want you worrying about me, I'm fine."

Maddy nodded, but she had a sense this was regular routine for Scott, she hoped he wasn't an alcoholic, ever since the first day she had met Scott he had drank, not like he had last night, but he always had beer on hand, what if he got in a accident drinking and driving. She just hoped she was wrong.

The sun was setting when they took the boat in. Scott jumped out and tied the boat up and helped Maddy off. When he turned around his face fell. "Dana what are you doing here?"

Maddy looked at the woman in curiosity. She had dark hair and dark flashing eyes, she was beautiful.

"Well Scott I was wondering why you didn't invite me along, after all I am your girlfriend."

Maddy was hurt but not surprised, Scott was a good looking man, and she knew he didn't live like a monk, but she assumed he just played and didn't get serious about anyone.

Maddy quickly wiped the hurt look off her face, she wasn't a baby no more, she was going to act like a mature adult even if it killed her, she figured it was in her best interest, Scott would get tired of this woman just like he did the others.

Scott was frozen to one spot, afraid to look at Maddy and see the anger on her face.

Maddy smiled at Dana. "I'm Maddy , nice to meet you."

Dana smiled and shook the girls hand, Scott had called her a little girl, but she sure didn't look like a child to Dana.

"Nice to meet you Maddy, Scott talks about you all the time."

Scott looked at Maddy who seemed fine, maybe she was outgrowing that whole crush thing, but he thanked God, she didn't go nuts.

They started walking back toward the parking lot. "I was hoping we could all three go out to dinner. " Dana said.

Maddy jumped in before Scott could answer. "You know, I'm a little tired, but you two go, Scott you can drop me off at home." Maddy said throwing her stuff in the back of Scott's car.

Scott frowned. "I don't like you staying by yourself at night."

Maddy frowned."I'm not a baby Scott, I can stay by myself for a couple of hours."

Dana did smile then, she was a little worried when she first saw Maddy, she was a gorgeous girl, but she could see Scott treated her like a daughter.

Scott opened the door for her. "I know you're not, but still I don't feel right leaving you alone."

Maddy sighed. "Take me to Kurt's, I can stay there tonight, then you don't have to worry about rushing back."

Scott nodded. "Okay I guess thats fine, I'll pick you up in the morning."

Scott turned to Dana. "Meet me at the house..I have to stop there first and let her get a shower and some clothes."

Dana shook her head and got in her car to follow them. Scott had acted like Maddy was head over heels for him or something, but she didn't seem that way to Dana, Scott was probably just exaggerating.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Maddy came out of the shower and put on a pair of shorts and tank top, she threw in a long shirt to sleep in at Kurt's.

She walked into the living room, thank God the two of them weren't making out, she might puke if she had to see that. "I'm ready, did you call Kurt?"

Scott got up and so did Dana. "Yea he said it was fine."

Maddy nodded and went and got in Scott's car.

Scott turned to Dana."I'll meet you at the restaurant in thirty minutes."

Dana reached up and kissed him. "Okay see you soon."

Scott got in the car and started it. Maddy was quite and Scott didn't really know what to say to her. "You okay?"

"Yea sure." She said.

When they got to Kurt's Scott walked her up to the door and bent and kissed her cheek. "I'll see you in the morning."

Maddy impulsively hugged his neck. "I love you Scott."

Scott wrapped his arms around her, he knew she was hurt, she was just hiding it, his girl was growing up. "I love you too Maddy, I want you to remember something, no matter what you'll always be my girl, okay?"

Maddy smiled. "Okay."

Scott rang Kurt's door bell and waited till Kurt answered, he bent and kissed Maddy again. "See ya in the mornin' sugar."

Maddy nodded and Scott left.

Scott had called Kurt and told him what had happened and how calmly Maddy had taken it. Scott was surprised and so was Kurt. He figured she would throw a fit. "You hungry?"

Maddy shook her head. "Do you mind if I go lay down, I'm tired."

Kurt frowned. It was early to go to bed. "Well yea sure honey, go ahead."

He watched Maddy walk up the stairs, he hoped she wasn't heart broken, Scott's drinking and drug use wasn't conducive to a relationship with anyone, he just hope Scott kept himself straight while Maddy was around.

Maddy went in the bedroom and shut the door, she threw herself on the bed crying, she did good holding it in this long, she loved that damn jerk, and he was actually dating someone, he had a regular girlfriend. Maddy was heartbroken, why couldn't he just wait a little while for her, didn't he realize she loved him.

Kurt walked down to the bedroom she was using and cracked the door, he shook his head, he figured. He walked in and set on the side of the bed. "Don't cry Maddy."

Maddy sat up rubbing her eyes. "I cant help it Kurt, I love him."

Kurt believed her, when she was little he thought it was just a crush, but she seen the way she looked at Scott, thing was he knew Scott would be poison for a sweet girl like Maddy, he had major issues, drinking and drugs being a big one, but Kurt thought he had issues with women, he slept with as many as he could get a hold of, if Dana knew the number of times he had cheated on her, she would kill him.

"Maddy..I know you do, but honey, Scott's a lot older than you, and he's not the most stable person in the world, you got a whole lifetime ahead of you, work on your career and getting through college and put love on the back burner for now, who knows what the future will hold."

Maddy sighed and leaned against Kurt. "Its hard to love him Kurt."

Kurt hugged her. "Yea I know, and love shouldn't have to be that hard, honey."

Maddy didn't answer, maybe real love was loving somebody that was less than perfect, and loving them in spite of their imperfections, she would never stop loving Scott no matter what, if a time would come and he wanted her in that way, she would be there for him.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Maddy flopped on her bed. Now that Scott had let the Dana cat out of the bed, Dana was up his butt all the time...Maddy also realized she couldn't stand the woman, she bossed Scott around all the time and in Maddy's opinion encouraged him to drink more than he normally would.

Maddy had taken to staying in her room when Dana came over, Maddy would tolerate her, but if Scott thought she was going to be buddies with Dana, he could think again.

She had been here three weeks and she didn't like the change she seen in Scott, him and Dana would sit out on the patio and smoke pot, like she was to dumb to know what it was.

The Scott she used to know would never smoke weed with her around or even get wasted like he did now.

She heard Scott and Dana downstairs laughing and carrying on. She picked up the phone and called Kurt.

"Hello."

"Hey Kurt, its Maddy, can I come over?"

Kurt figured Scott was drunk off his ass again. "Yea sure..I'll be over in about twenty minutes, sit tight."

"Thanks Kurt." Maddy said and hung up the phone. She decided she wasn't going to deal with this no more. Scott had spent two days of the three weeks with her and when he was sober, he was fine, but she couldn't stand seeing him drunk and high. He was destroying himself and Dana was helping him down the path of destruction.

Maddy packed up all her stuff in the suitcase and watched out the window for Kurt's car.

When she seen him pull up she made her way downstairs. Dana and Scott was on the couch making out..the whole room smelled like weed.

Scott looked up. "Where ya going Maddy?"

"Kurt's." She said heading for the door.

Scott stood up wobbling a little. "Since when do you just take off, you're staying right here, I didn't say you could go to Kurt's."

Maddy swung around to face him, she loved him dearly but she wasn't going to sit around and watch him self destruct. "Scott, your a drunk and you do drugs, I don't want to be around to watch you destroy yourself, call me when you stop this crap." She said and walked out the door.

She got in Kurt's car and didn't look back.

"You okay?"

Maddy shook her head. "Scott is a drunk, and he smokes weed all the time, half the time he don't even know I'm there..I wanna go home."

Kurt patted her hand. "Call your dad and I'll book you a flight home."

Maddy wiped the tears off her cheek. "Thanks Kurt..keep an eye on him okay?"

Kurt nodded. "I will honey, you just keep your mind on school, remember what I told you, you got a lot of living ahead of you and hopefully Scott will wake up..he's still in party mode..don't write him off yet."

"I wont, I love him..but I cant sit around and watch him do that to himself." Maddy said looking out the window.

She hoped and prayed that Scott would wake up and realize what he was doing to himself before it was too late.
