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

SandraSmit19, flowerpowers, miamitravel, and xMyheartshine- Thank you for reviewing. I am sorry to inform you that there are only a few chapters left in this story.

Casey POV

I woke up and Stu was curled up behind me. I moved away from him and walked out to the living room. Stephen was watching TV; he turned it off and looked at me.

"Are yeh ok?" he asked me and I sighed.

"I don't know. I'm going for a run. I will be back, please just have him leave when he wakes up." I said and Stephen nodded.

"Um, Casey, do yeh suppose I could just stay here tonight since we leave tomorrow?" he asked me and I smiled.

"Yeah, you are welcome here anytime, Ste." I said and he smiled at me.

I left and I went for a run. I ended up on the beach looking out over the water. The water always calmed me and I sighed as my phone rang; I looked down saw 'Adam' flashing across my screen.

"What?" I answered.

"Hey to you too, what's wrong?" he asked me.

"You were right about Stu." I said.

"Case, I'm sorry." He said and surprisingly he sounded genuine about it.

"Why do you always have to be right?" I asked him and he laughed.

"Because I'm a guy." He said and I laughed at his response.

I talked to Adam and he calmed me down a little bit. I knew that I had go back and face the music. I felt bad for asking Stephen to make Stu leave, but I had to get him away from me right now.

I finally went back home and walked inside. Stephen was picking up pieces of a broken picture frame; I sighed as I shut the door.

"Don't worry about it." I said and he looked up at me. I gasped because he had a slight black eyes and a busted lip. I grabbed a bag of frozen veggies and handed it to him in a towel.

"I'm sorry, Ste… I didn't mean to get you hurt." I said as he put it up to his eye.

"Don't apologize… Ah am glad he didn't hurt yeh." He said and I sighed as I put my head in my hands.

Stu POV

I got back to my house and I was livid. Stephen had told me to leave when I got up because Casey didn't want to talk to me. I knew I had fucked up, but I apologized to her. I didn't actually sleep with Layla, so that should have counted for something.

I went to the gym and stopped by the liquor store on the way home. I was going to drink my problems away… at least for tonight.

Heath POV

I was at my condo when I got a phone call from Stu. He was completely drunk and I knew that he never got that drunk. I went over there and walked inside; his apartment was trashed.

"Stu, man, where are you?" I called out and I heard something fall in the other room.

I walked back towards his room and I saw him laying in the floor with an empty Jack Daniels bottle in one hand and a picture of Casey in the other. He was bleeding from his arm and was lethargic.

"Come on, man, you gotta get that looked at." I said and tried to pull him up, but he was dead weight. I finally gave in and called 911. They came and I followed the ambulance to the hospital. I called Casey as soon as I got there; she and Stephen came right away.

"Is he ok?" she asked me.

"I don't know… he trashed his apartment and drank and entire fifth by himself. Do you mind if I ask what's going on?" I asked her.

"He and I got into last night because I saw him out with Layla. He was apparently going to sleep with her, but miraculously had a chance of heart. He confessed it all to me and I haven't talked to him about it yet. Stephen told him to leave while I went for a run and he freaked out." She said as Stephen put an arm around her.

"I never meant for this to happen." She said as Stephen pulled her in for a hug.

"Case, it's not your fault that Stu thought with his dick… he doesn't deserve you if he is going to act like that." I said and she nodded into Stephen's chest.

We all waited around for a long time before the doctor came out to talk to us.

"We got most of the alcohol out of his system and he is going to have a nasty hangover for a few days. We stitched up the wound and he is lucky because he was losing a lot of blood." He said and we all nodded.

"He has been asking for Casey?" the doctor said and we all looked at her.

"That's me, can I see him?" she asked him and he nodded.

She looked back at us before going through the doors.

"He doesn't deserve her." I mumbled.

"Ah know." Stephen agreed as we sat back down.

Casey POV

I walked into the room and Stu was laying in the bed. He had his left arm wrapped up and he looked pale. I walked over and looked down at him; he slowly opened his eyes.

"Case." He mumbled as he reached for one of my hands. I sighed as he took it and kissed the back of it.

"You are an idiot." I whispered as I moved some of the curls out of his face.

"I know, I fucked up with you." he said and I finally sat down beside him.

"Stu, why did you go to her?" I asked him and he sighed.

"It wasn't my intention at first… I just wanted to talk to her and tell her that I was happy with you. We talked and had a few drinks, but as the night went on my resolve broke. She knew what she was doing and I hate it. I never meant to do that and I never meant to cheat or think of cheating on you." he said and I sighed.

"Stu, I never meant to fall in love with you either." I said and he closed his eyes as he pursed his lips together.

"Casey…" he was saying.

"Sorry, Stu, I can't do it. I know that you didn't actually cheat on me, but if Stephen hadn't of shown up I really don't think that anything would have stopped you. I don't want to live with that in the back of my mind. I don't want to wonder if you finally have cheated on me or not. I don't want that… I had it once and I don't want it again. I'm sorry." I said as I placed a kiss on his forehead and walked out of the room. I didn't want to hear him beg or yell. I didn't want any of it.

I just wanted to walk away for once in my life…
