After Mercer tells Kate to take a couple of days to go upstate but before she actually goes she has some time to think. Written for smallfandomflsh #133-Ghost.

After class I always go behind the school to this dried up river to 'study' and do 'homework'. I actually go there to watch Beca Mitchell work on her mixes. Whenever she turns around I act like I'm doing homework or something. I've never talked to her before or anything but she just seems so perfect. I could tell she was different and I liked that. (A short one-shot I did)

Stacie had always been the girl who every guy chased. One night stands, no serious relationships. She never really had a guy who took her seriously, until Donald came along. He'd gone through the same thing, and showed Stacie, the only reason she couldn't maintain a serious relationship, was because her fear of being hurt.

I didn't think Kate deserved to get Nick so easily with the way she had treated him so I thought I would write my own ending. Hope you like it...
