A/N: Thanks for the reviews, keep them coming!


Julie walked into the school and frowned when she saw Scooter talking to Livvie. She groaned and walked over to him when she saw Livvie walk away.

"What do you think you're doing?" Julie asked, poking his shoulder.

He spun around and smiled when he saw Julie. "Hey Julie," He said with a cheery smile. "I was just talking to my new friend Livvie."

Julie nodded. "Sure you were," She said and he laughed. "You better stay away from her, that's Luis' girlfriend and they love each other very much!" She informed him and he nodded.

"Is somebody jealous?" He asked and Julie laughed.

"Hah, you wish!" She said but he just smirked. She groaned. "God, you're so annoying!"

"You love me anyway though," He winked and she narrowed her eyes at him as she walked him walk away.

She sighed and walked over to Livvie. "He's not a good person, you know?" Julie said and Livvie turned around.

"What are you talking about?" She asked and Julie looked at her.

"Scooter," She said and Livvie bit her lip. "He's an asshole, he may seem perfect but he's really not, OK?"

Livvie looked at her. "He's nice to me," She shrugged and Julie sighed. "I'm not going to stay away from someone just because you say he's not a good person…" She trailed and Julie looked at her. "Maybe he was an asshole to you but people change."

Julie sighed. "Scooter will never change," She told her and Livvie shook her head. "Fine, if you won't stay away from him than just promise that you'll be careful?" She asked and Livvie nodded. "OK, good, see you later." She said and they hugged.


Connie lay in the hospital, Guy by her side and her parents just outside the room, talking to the doctor.

"I'm ready to go home now," She told him and he looked up at her. "I know I have a problem but I want to be home… I don't want to be here; too many bad memories."

Guy nodded. "I understand that, Connie," He nodded. "It's just procedure, I'm sure the doctor will let you go home soon." He said and she nodded.


"Thank you so much for watching her," Julie said to Casey as she picked up her daughter.

"It's no problem, honey," Casey said, smiling. "She's such a sweetheart!"

Julie nodded. "Thanks."

"You know, Julie," Gordon said, walking in. "You should be getting some rest instead of going to school," Julie rolled her eyes. "I know everyone must be telling you this and I know you hate it but maybe, just this one time, you should listen."

She looked at him and sighed. "I know, you're right," She said and he nodded. "I just hate being… helpless," She said. "I don't like it when people have to look after me; I can do just fine by myself."

Gordon nodded and laughed. "Just take a few weeks off, it couldn't hurt."

She nodded. "Fine, three weeks tops!" She said and he nodded. "I still want to graduate with all the Ducks."


Anna narrowed her eyes and watched jealous as Tommy and his new girlfriend, Samantha, walked by her. Wasn't just a few days ago that he was confessing his love for her and now he had already found someone else? She could not believe it.

Adam walked over to her and slide his arm around her waist, kissing her cheek. "Hey babe," He said and she looked at him. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing," She sighed and he looked at her. "It's just… Tommy has a girlfriend now and it's weird, that's all." She shrugged and he nodded.

"Don't like having all the attention focused on someone else, huh?" He said with a laughed and she glared at him.

"Whatever," She said, crossing her arms over her chest. "What are you doing today?"

"I'm sending in my college applications," He told her and she nodded slowly. "You want to help me?"

"No!" She shouted. "Why would I want to help you with the one thing that's going to take you away from me?" She asked and he laughed. "Adam, it's not funny!"

"Nothing's going to take me away from you, you know that," He said and she looked away. "Sure, we'll be apart for a while, but it'll only be for a year… and I'll come visit you as much as I can." He promised but she shook her head.

"It's not the same," She said and he sighed. "Sorry, I don't mean to be a downer." She said and he smiled.

"It's OK; I know how you feel… I don't want to be away from you either." He told her and she nodded.

"Well," She started. "Let's not waste anytime then." She said, with a wink as she pulled him into a kiss.


Julie walked back to the dorms, Gabrielle in her arms, coming back from Gordon and Casey's.

She shook her head and sighed when she saw Scooter and Livvie sitting way too close in the courtyard but she knew this time not to interfere.

Instead, she went to find Luis. She knew how much Livvie and Luis loved each other and she didn't want to see it fall apart because of Scooter.

"Hey Julie," He greeted when he opened the door. "Hi Gabrielle," He said, kissing his daughter as they both walked in.

"We have a problem," Julie sighed and Luis looked at her. "Actually… you have a problem; Scooter's just more of a pain in the ass to me than a problem…" She stopped herself when she saw the confused look on Luis' face. "He's trying to get with Livvie," She sighed and he immediately grew angry.

"What do you mean 'get with Livvie'?" He asked.

"You know exactly what I mean, Luis," She told him. "I've seen them talking and it might be innocent and friendly to Livvie but it certainly isn't to Scooter," She informed him and Luis tightened his jaw. "I'm just letting you know because I know how Scooter operates; he's that type of guy."

Luis shook his head. "Do you know where she is?"

Julie nodded. "I saw them talking in the courtyard…"

Luis groaned and grabbed his jacket as he headed for the door. "Thanks for telling me, Julie," He said, kissing Gabrielle again and walking out the door.

She sighed. "Yeah, no problem."


"So, you go to NYU," Livvie said. "That's awesome; I've always wanted to go there."

"Yeah, it suck being away from my family all the time but I love it there," He said and she nodded. "You planning on going?"

"Maybe, if I can pull it off," She said and he laughed.

"You seem smart enough," He noted and she laughed. "Besides, I'm sure my dad could talk to a few people to get you accepted."

Her face lit up and her eyes widened. "Seriously? You would do that?" He nodded. "But why? We barely even know each other!"

"I like you," He shrugged. "And besides, NYU could use someone like you," He said and she raised an eyebrow. "I mean, sure the girls there are smart but none of them are as beautiful as you." He told her and she blushed.

"What the hell?" They heard someone shout. Both of them turned around and Livvie's eyes widened when she saw Luis approaching them.

She quickly stood up and walked towards him. "Luis, there's no need to get angry, we were just talking!" She promised but he ignored her, heading straight for Scooter.

"Hey, man, she's aloud to have friends." Scooter said before Luis threw a punch at his face.

"Luis!" Livvie shouted, trying to break up the fight but there was no use. Scooter had already punched back and there was no stopping Luis once he started. "Please, stop it!" She begged but they didn't. She finally managed to pull Luis off Scooter and pulled him aside. "What the hell is wrong with you?" She demanded and he looked at her.

"What the hell is wrong with me? What the hell is wrong with you?" He shouted angrily. "All I've heard about you all day is how you've been spending way too much time with this asshole and not enough time with me, your BOYFRIEND." He shouted and she looked away.

"I'm sorry, Luis…" She trailed and he shook his head.

"You don't have to be sorry, Livvie," He said and she looked up at him. "I don't want to tell you who to be friends with but… I don't know if I can handle you being friends with him after everything he did to Julie… I don't want to see that happen to you."

She nodded. "OK, I won't see him anymore," She said but Luis was not convinced. "Luis, I promise, I won't," She said. "He's leaving in a few days anyway." She reassured him and he nodded.

"I'm gonna go now," Scooter said and Livvie turned around. "I'll see you around." He said, with a wink and walked away. Livvie sighed.

"How can you even handle all that ego?" Luis asked, rubbing his eye where Scooter had punched.

Livvie shrugged. "He's nice to me," She told him, looking at the bruise forming around Luis' eye. "Oh, God, Luis! You're bleeding!" She said, touching the bruised area and he winced in pain. "Sorry."

He shook his head. "It's OK," He said. "I'll just go up and put some ice on it."

"Let me come with you?" She asked and he looked at her.

"OK," He nodded and she smiled. "Unless you'd like to go finish your conversation with Scooter," He said and she sighed.

"I don't," She promised and he looked at her. "I want to be with you, my boyfriend, because I love you, OK?"

He nodded. "OK." He said and she smiled, wrapping her arms around his waist and hugging him.

She rested her head on his shoulder and he kissed her head. "Let's go ice that bruise."


"Connie, you have to eat something." Guy said, as they sat in their dorm. "You promised you were better!" He said. "Don't tell me you lied."

"I didn't," She promised and he looked at her. "I'm just not hungry… I had enough food at the hospital; I don't need anymore until tomorrow." She said but Guy was still worried.

"Connie, please…" He begged but she shook her head, standing up and walking over to him.

"How about I give you that hot sex I promised before I left for New York?" She suggested and he smirked. "And we can eat later, I promise." She said and he nodded.

"Sounds good to me." He said, kissing her neck and she pushed him onto the bed.


"How does it look?" Luis asked, as Livvie examined his eye, pressing the cold ice pack to it.

"It looks OK to me but you should probably have it checked by the nurse tomorrow or something," She said and he nodded. "I can't believe you punched him! Why would you do that?"

"Because Julie warned me that Scooter was after you and I wanted him to understand that you're mine and no one else's." He said and she nodded.

"Well, it was pretty romantic and spontaneous," She told him. "It really… turned me on." She said, with a wink and he looked at her.

"Oh, really?" He asked and she nodded coyly. "Well, maybe I should beat up guys for you more often." He said, running a hand up her shirt and she giggled.

"Hold on," She said, running into the bathroom. He groaned and waited for about five minutes until she finally came back out.

His eyes widened as she stepped out of the bathroom in nothing but his t-shirt. He watched as she climbed on top of him, straddling him as she brought his hands to her hips.

"I like this," He said and she laughed, kissing him. "Really like this." He told her and she winked.

"Well, good, because you deserve it," She told him, pushing him down. "You've been so good to me and I love you, so much," She told him as she began taking off his shirt. "So tonight, I'm going to show you just how grateful I am." She said, with a wink and he brought his hands to her waist, kissing her neck.

"I love you," He whispered. "You look so amazingly hot," He said and she giggled.

"I love you too." She whispered and the two shared a night of passion that neither of them could ever forget.
