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

wades wife, miamitravel, Kizzyfur, and xMyheartshine- Thanks reviewing!

Sorry for the delay... we had some wicked storms and some major damage. Please pray for everyone in the southern areas of the United States.

I will also not be updating after Wednesday because I have to have surgery and it will take me a few days to get back on my feet. Thanks for understanding and reading my stories.

Adam POV

I looked at Stu when he opened the door; he was scruffy, had his arm in a sling, and looked tired.

"What?" he asked me.

"Do you have a second?" I asked him.

"I have all the time in the world." He said with sarcasm.

I walked in and shut the door; the house wasn't a mess, just him. He sat down and I sat down across from him.

"You need to talk to Casey." I said and he sighed as he shook his head.

"No, she doesn't need me." He said and I laughed.

"Yeah, man, she does. She is miserable; Drew is annoying her." I said and he looked up at me.

"What?" he asked me.

"Yeah, he won't leave her alone." I said and he sighed.

"He told me that if I left her alone, then he would leave her alone." He said and I looked at him strange.

"What?" I asked him.

"I confronted him about it and told him that he needed to leave her alone; he was making our relationship hell. He told me that the only way he would stop was if I stopped talking to her." He said and I nodded.

"So, I did… I haven't texted, called, seen, or heard from him since she left that night at the arena." He said and I shook my head.

"Well, he's not leaving her alone; he's actually gotten worse. I have talked to him about it and it's not helping. I came to see her today and she looks depressed." I said and I saw worry flash across his face; I knew that he still cared.

"I can't see her… Drew…" he was saying.

"Shut the hell up, Stu! Drew is making her life a living hell with or without us in it. He doesn't care… if you aren't around it just makes it easier. I know that you love her and I know that you feel something for her. I see it in her eyes and in yours. I'm actually jealous of that… I want that back. I want her to look at me like that again, but she only has it for you. I can't believe that all you are going to do is sit here and let her rot because you aren't man enough to own up that you love her like that." I shouted at him before walking to the door.

"You don't deserve her." I said and slammed the door. I was so annoyed at how much of a pussy Stu was being.

I got back to Casey's and she was still asleep. I sat on the edge of the bed and watched her sleep. She really didn't deserve all of this unneeded drama; it wasn't fair for her. She just wanted to be loved; I knew that some of that was still my fault. I was watching her when I heard someone knock on the door. I sighed and went to the door; I opened it and there was Drew.

"What do you want?" I asked him.

"I am here to speak to Casey." He said and I shook my head.

"Not happening; go away and leave her alone." I said and got ready to close the door, but he stopped me.

"I don't have to leave her alone; you are nothing but her ex-husband." He said and I got ready to say something, but saw Stu behind him.

"Yeah, and I'm her boyfriend, and I'm telling you to go the fuck away. I will hurt you." Stu said, walked inside, and slammed the door in his face.

Stu POV

I had just told Drew to go away and Adam was looking at me.

"Nice timing." He said and I nodded.

"She is upstairs in her bedroom; I'm staying here. I hope you don't mind." He said and I shook my head no.

"No, I don't mind; I am glad that you are here." I said and he nodded.

I walked upstairs and stopped in the bedroom; my eyes fell on Casey and she looked restless even as she slept. I slowly made my way over and sat down at her beside her. I ran a hand over her cheek and felt dampness as I carefully tucked some hair behind her ear. I was watching her when her eyes slowly fluttered open.

"Stu?" she asked me and I gave her a small smile.

"Hi, love… I'm so sorry I ever let you walk away." I whispered as she sat up.

"Is this from the car wreck?" she asked me as she looked me over.

"Yeah, I'll be fine." I said and she nodded.

"I hope so; I heard that you almost lost your job." She said and I sighed.

"Yeah, I lost it when you left. Drew and I got into it a few times and I did something I'm not proud of." I said looking down.

"What?" she asked me.

"Drew told me that if I left you alone… he would do the same. I'm sorry I did that and I should have known that he wasn't going to leave you alone." I said and she looked at the sheets.

"I didn't call, text, or come see you even though I drove by here many times." I said.

"I thought you weren't supposed to be driving." She said and I sighed.

"They haven't taken my license away yet." I pointed out and a small smile tugged at her lips.

"Casey, I'm really sorry that I ever thought I could be without you… I love you." I whispered as I cupped her face with my good hand. She leaned her face into my palm and placed a small kiss on it.

"I left you because I thought that if I went away then you and Drew could be friends." She whispered.

"I got that in your note." I said and she sighed.

"I'm sorry, Stu… I don't want to be added drama for you." she said and I pulled her as close as I could with one arm and kissed her with everything I had. She gripped at my shirt as I tasted her sweet flavor again.

"You are worth it all." I whispered as she looked into my eyes.

"Please don't leave me again." I said and she nodded.

"I didn't really want to the first time." She said with a small smile.

I held her and we finally joined Adam for dinner. She was glad that we got along and I was glad that I had Casey back; Drew was going to get it once I got my arm back to normal.
