A/N: Lol, it's taken me long enough right? Well, my sister has banished me to sick person's land which means that I'm not allowed to get up and do anything fun. Technically, I'm not even supposed to be on my computer, but like I listen :P anyway, enjoy!

"You know, I never was good at this game." Casey states as she shoots the basketball, not the least bit surprised when the ball bounces pitifully off of the rim.

Olivia can't help but laugh as she catches the ball and easily sinks it into the hoop, drawing a satisfying 'swish' sound from the net. "Yeah, you might wanna stick to softball." She says with humor laced in her voice before she passes the ball back to the taller woman.

Casey rolls her eyes as she catches the ball and dribbles it against the pavement before she attempts to shoot it at the hoop once more. The ball bounces against the rim before it tips into the hoop, before falling to the ground. "Ha! I got one!" she declares before she snickers. "What is that, one shot out of like fifty" she questions with a quirk of her eyebrow.

"As I said before, you may just wanna stick to playing softball." Olivia responds as she swipes the ball away from Casey again. "It's a shame that you aren't good at basketball though. You're tall enough to play, that's for sure."

"Well clearly my height does nothing for me when it comes to the sport of basketball." Casey replies with a shake of her head. "I'm not going to play one on one with you just so you can beat me into the ground and then gloat about it for the rest of your life."

"Aw, c'mon Case, it'll be fun. I'll go easy on you."

"No way Liv. Try that on someone who doesn't know you. You're definition of going easy on me is you scoring sixty points on me instead of seventy."

Olivia sighs drastically as she continues to dribble the ball. "Fine, then let's play something simple like H-O-R-S-E or Around the World." she suggests, taking a shot from where she's standing just for the hell of it.

Casey rolls her eyes as she catches the ball and passes it back to the smirking detective. "Fine. But you better adhere to your promise and go easy on me." she warns, pausing when she sees a rather angry figure approaching them from the distance. "Oh no."

"What?" Liv questions curiously as she spins around and sees Abbie approaching them. She manages a smile and holds up the basketball. "Hey Abbs, wanna shoot? For old times sake?"

"No." the fuming brunette retorts as she heads straight for Casey and immediately invades her personal space. "I know it was you that trashed my car, Novak."

Casey frowns and immediately shoves Abbie away from her. "Back off. I didn't do anything to your stupid car. I don't even know what you're talking about."

"Right, and like I'm gonna believe an asshole like you."

"Look who's calling who an asshole. I didn't fucking touch your car. Now I would appreciate it if you would get out of my face."

"What're you gonna do about it, hit me?"

"Didn't stop me a few months ago when I nailed you in the face."

Abbie scowls at the memory and she clenches her teeth together tightly in anger. "Incase you've forgotten, that was a cheap little girl's shot. You shouldn't take so much victory in a sucker punch Novak." She sneers irritably. "You know that you don't have it in you to fight me for real."

Casey rolls her eyes and folds her arms as she takes a step back to regain some of her personal space that was previously invaded. "Yeah, right. You weren't even worth that one punch, but I made a promise to Alex; and unlike you, I know how to keep a promise that I make to a woman."

"You trying to get at something there?"

"As a matter of fact I am. You have no idea how to treat a good woman that you have in your life. God knows how many hearts that you've walked all over just for the hell of it. You walk around here with your money, and your fancy cars, and you think that it's your world and every one else is just living in it. Newsflash Abbie, it doesn't work like that. It's not fair that you use all of that to take advantage of people. You flaunt all of that around just to get someone to sleep with you and when you're done with them, you toss them out to the side like they never even mattered to you, because in truth, they never really did. You see Abigail, I actually feel bad for you because you have absolutely no idea of what it feels like to be in love. You don't know how it feels to fall asleep next to the woman you love with excitement in your heart because you know that you get to see her beautiful face when you wake up next to her the following morning. You don't know what it feels like to take romantic walks in the evening with your woman and then just sit on a bench holding hands, not talking about anything, because you're so content, you don't need words to express your feelings. You don't know how it feels to just be able to sit and gaze into your lover's beautiful eyes or sitting and listening to her tell you how her day was. You don't have any one to go home to at night and you know why? Because you hurt literally everyone who steps into your vicinity. I don't know what your deal is or why you act like you do, but you shove everyone away, you treat them like crap, or even both. That's why you're alone because you just don't have any inkling of a care for anyone else other than your self. And you know what? That actually makes you extremely pathetic. So yeah, I don't have nearly as much money as you do, I don't have all of your expensive things; houses, cars, clothes and other stuff, but I do have something that you don't have; I have true love and with that, I really don't need any other extra stuff. I have someone who is there for me when I go home at night and sadly for you, that someone is the amazing girl that you tossed away all those years ago. I don't know what happened to your car but I'm not going to lie and say that you didn't deserve it."

"You prick!" Abbie screeches as she lunges forward and tackles the redhead to the ground. "No one fucking talks to me like that! Especially not after what you did to me!"

Casey growls as she flips them over and pins Abbie to the ground. "I don't know what you're talking about! I never did anything to you!" she replies before she finds her self flipped onto her back once again but this time more harshly as hands clamp down around her throat.

Abbie sees blood red as she tightens her grip on the redhead's neck preparing to bash her head into the pavement before she finds her self lifted of the ground in a mess of flailing limbs. "Let me go!" she yells, struggling against the detective restraining her. "You killed her!"

"What the hell are you talking about!" Casey questions with a frown as she stands up from the ground, rubbing her neck. "Seriously!"

"You-you killed her and now you don't even remember! It was YOUR FAULT! YOU killed her!"

"I didn't kill anyone!"

"YOU DON'T EVEN REMEMBER! HOW COULD YOU NOT REMEMBER?!"

Casey roughly drags her hands through her hair as she takes a full step back. "I didn't…" she trails off as it finally clicks in her mind on what Abbie is talking about. "A-Abbie, that was…that was years ago and it was an accident..."

Angry tears flow down the brunette's cheeks as she continues to struggle against Olivia to get free. "You were supposed to be my best friend and I trusted you! I trusted you!"

"We were in high school Abbie, mistakes happen! You know it was an accident! Please tell me you understand that!"

"You killed her! And I have never forgiven you." Abbie screeches as she finally breaks out of Olivia's hold. "And I never will." She concludes harshly before she storms back the direction she came leaving the two women in her wake.

Olivia raises her eyebrows in confusion and stares after the angry attorney before turning back to Casey. "What's…what was she talking about?"

Casey opens her mouth to respond before she closes it and settles on shaking her head. "Nothing…she wasn't talking about anything…" she mumbles before she picks up the basketball once again. "C'mon, you said we were gonna play right?"

"Casey I want-"

"Not now Liv. Please. Just not now."

Meanwhile…

"Why do the two of you look like that?" Alex asks eying her two best friends with genuine curiosity.

"Look like what?" Kim answers innocently while Serena continues to wring her hands and nibble on her bottom lip. "Think you're just imagining things, Al…"

Alex hesitates for a moment before she nods her head. "Right…so…there's been something I've been meaning to talk to you guys about. Something important."

"Oh my gosh, are you breaking up with us?" Serena chimes in sarcastically with a high pitched school girl squeal. "Say it isn't so! I don't think my heart can handle it!"

Alex rolls her eyes at Serena's tendencies to be a little bit of a sarcastic tease. Clearly she has been hanging around Kim far too long. "On a more serious note, I think I'm going to ask Casey to marry me you guys."

The statement renders the other two women completely speechless as they sit there with their jaws practically hitting the table. The silence is like that for a long moment before Serena is the first one to recover. "Oh my god, Ali, that's amazing!" she squeals excitedly.

"Yeah, it's great." Kim mutters quietly as she looks down and begins absentmindedly pushing her food around her plate with her fork.

"I really think I'm gonna do it." Alex continues on with a school girl smile on her face. "I've been looking at rings and everything, and I think I've found the perfect one for her. I just…I don't have any idea of how I'm gonna do it ya know?"

Serena vigorously nods her head at the rhetorical question. "I know what you mean," she responds excitedly before a dreamy smile spreads across her face. "It was so simple how Liv asked me to marry her, but it was just so romantic at the same time. She took me to dinner and then she drove me out to the lake where we sat on the pier with our feet dangling in the water. The moon was full and low and it was so beautiful that it cast this sparkle out over the water. She was so nervous about something and when I asked her what was wrong, she pulled out this little box and told me how much she loved me. Then she asked me if I would be her wife and I said yes."

"That's really romantic." Alex says with a smile before she ducks her head. "But I don't think that I could come up with anything that's romantic like that. I want it to be romantic, but I don't want it to be simple or lame, you know? I want to really surprise her and blow her mind."

"Oh don't worry, we'll help you come up with something good! Won't we Kim?" Serena exclaims, nudging the quiet woman next to her.

Kim looks up and manages a tiny smile before she nods her head. "Yeah sure." She responds quietly before she turns her attention back to absently picking at her food.

The act doesn't go unnoticed by Alex and she opens her mouth to question before she finds her self pulled into more marriage conversations by Serena. She'll make a point to ask about whatever it is later.

*CHUNG CHUNG* hehehehe, I have that downloaded as my text tone on my phone. I felt like it was appropriate for this point in the story. Leave your thoughts?
