A/N: The song I used in this chapter is "Careless Whispers" by Wham. Ya'll are probably thinking, who in bluest of blue hell is Wham?! Lol Well, Wham is one of those 80's bands that I grew up listening to. George Michaels' band before he went solo and became a freak. Lol Betcha won't hear many people admitting that they listened to Wham! Lol Here's a biggy of a chapter. Enjoy! Oh, it's done in two parts. Shane's POV and Casey's POV. And the next chapter will be like that as well. I think that's it.

~Casey's POV~

'Time can never mend the careless whispers, of a good friend

To the heart and mind, ignorance is kind'

I woke up that morning and just knew that things were wrong. I had a bad feeling about it all. The sky was cloudy and everything looked dreary and dark. I walked around cautiously, not really going out of the house. I was almost fearing that THEY would show up again. Now I almost wished they had. I was sitting on the couch, Mountain Dew on the coffee table and a pad of paper in my lap, where I was drawing up designs for new wrestling outfits. Jeff walked into the house, from being gone all day. He was soaked from the rain, a pale look on his face.

'There's no comfort in the truth

Pain is all you'll find'

"Jeff, what's the matter?" I asked worried.

"We need to talk," he replied pulling the desk chair in front of me.

"Oh, why don't I like the sound of this?" I asked glancing out the window as the rain poured down and lightening struck.

"Casey, you know how much I love you, right?" he questioned.

"I think so. But I have a feeling that after this conversation I won't," I replied.

'Should've known better'

"Baby, I love you so much, and I always will. You're a big part of me. If I didn't love you this much I wouldn't have worked so hard at making this relationship work."

"Well, I've tried hard too! What's the point to all this?!"

'I feel so unsure

As I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor'

"After all the time we've spent on this relationship, I realized that I can't do this anymore."

"Jeff, I don't know what you've heard, but I swear I haven't done anything! I wouldn't do that again! I learned from my mistake the first time!" I panicked.

"No, it's not that. I haven't heard that you've done anything. I trust you, I really do."

"Then why do I get the feeling you're breakin up with me?!" I cried.

'As the music dies, something in your eyes

Calls to mind the silver screen

And all its sad good-byes'

"Because, I, well, I am."

"Why? What have I done to make you do this?!"

"You haven't done anything. It's a decision I decided to make to no fault of yours."

"But you said you dreamt we got married! You said we were happy together! How can you do this?!"

"You yourself said that it was just a dream and I need to come back to reality with everyone else. Well, I have."

"And what has reality shown you?"

'I'm never gonna dance again

Guilty feet have got no rhythm

Though it's easy to pretend

I know you're not a fool'

"That we make better friends than we do a couple. Case, we have like no communication anymore. When we were friends, a day didn't go by when we didn't speak. Where we didn't share our feelings with one another. But now, we barely share what's really on our minds."

"So that's it? You're breaking up with me because you don't think we communicate anymore?"

"Yeah, I suppose that's one reason."

'Should've known better than to cheat a friend

And waste the chance that I've been given'

"What else?"

"I don't love you like I used to. I love you like I did when we first met. Before I started to become attracted to you."

"So you DON'T love me!" I screamed as I stood up. I ran up the stairs and into our room where I started to pack up some things.

"Casey, there's more," he said standing in the doorway watching me. I turned to him with my hands on my hips and glared at him. "I went to lunch with Beth last week. And it was like how we used to be. Before Lee came into our lives. I still love her so much. And I think it just has overpowered the love I have for you."

'So I'm never gonna dance again

The way I danced with you'

"Beth? Okay, well, fine, whatever. You want her, you can have her!" I said as I continued to pack.

"Don't leave. I want to be friends. I don't want you out of my life completely."

"Well, right now I can't even look at you!"

"Where are gonna go?"

"I'm going to get a hotel room in Raleigh and find an apartment tomorrow. I'll be completely out of here in about 2 days. All that I ask is that you take care of Luna till I find an apartment," I said zipping up the suitcase.

"Please don't leave like this."

"How am I supposed to leave? All happy that you've found someone else?!"

"No, of course not. Just please, let's sit down and talk about this."

"Ya know what? I'm finished talking. You want to break up, then we are. Bye Jeff," I cried slamming the door in his face. I ran in the rain to my car and sped off into the nite.

'Time can never mend

The careless whispers of a good friend'

I couldn't believe Jeff had just broken up with me. I couldn't believe I was moving out of his house. And that's when I realized, it was HIS house. Not our house. I didn't belong there anymore, I guess I had overstayed my welcome.

'To the heart and mind

Ignorance is kind

There's no comfort in the truth

Pain is all you'll find'

I leaned on the window sill of the hotel room, watching the rain pound on the thick glass. I wondered how long Jeff had felt like this. I wondered why Jeff would go see Beth to begin with. But in the end I decided that it all had to be my fault in some way. If I hadn't slept with Shane before the wedding, Jeff and I would be well into having children together and be madly in love. It would have been the storybook life I had always wanted. But I had screwed it all up.

'I'm never gonna dance again

Guilty feet have got no rhythm

Though it's easy to pretend

I know you're not a fool'

*********

~Shane's POV~

As the rain fell, faster and faster, I knew I was driving home to a place I didn't want to be. Shannon and I had a fight that morning, like normal, and I just had to get out of there. I didn't go anyplace in particular, just left. Although I was probably an idiot to do so.

'Should've known better than to cheat a friend

And waste this chance that I've been given'

I pulled into the driveway and smiled, seeing that the lights were on and she was home. I was happy that she hadn't packed up and left. That meant that we could still work out our problems and be together. That was my hopeful side of course. In the back of my mind, I suppose I knew it wouldn't be like that. But what did I really have to lose, yeah, I know, I could lose her.

'So I'm never gonna dance again

The way I danced with you'

I walked into the silent house and looked around, a box here and there, knick knacks missing from the shelves. My nitemare was coming true. I just hoped it wasn't too late for me to talk her out of it.

'Never without your love'

"Shannon!" I called to her, dropping my keys into my jacket pocket. "Shannon!" I called once again running up the stairs. I saw her knelt down on the floor in the bedroom, a cardboard box sitting next to her.

'Tonight the music seems so loud

I wish that we could lose this crowd

Maybe it's better this way

We'd hurt each other with the things we'd want to say'

"What are you doing?" I asked, although I already knew her answer.

"Packing," she replied and I could hear the tears and sadness in her voice.

"Packing? But why?"

"I can't stay here anymore Shane. I can't live this way anymore," she sobbed taping the top of the box shut.

'We could have been so good together

We could have lived this dance forever'

"No, Shannon, don't leave!" I cried.

"I have to. This fighting is killing me. We're just not meant to be together!" she stood and carried the box down the stairs, I followed her closely.

"Yes we are! If we weren't, then I wouldn't have asked you to marry me!"

'But no one's gonna dance with me

Please stay'

"It's not going to work out and you know it! I have to go Shane. There's no way I can marry you. There's no way I can be with you! All this drama is driving me insane! If I were to stay, God only knows what'd happen!"

"We'd make up, we'd get married, we'd live happily ever after!"

"No, we wouldn't. Because I can't let go what you did. You hurt me Shane. You hurt me SO much!"

"It was one little trip! I'm sorry alright?! I've already apologized. What's it going to take for you to forgive me!"

'And I'm never gonna dance again

Guilty feet have got no rhythm

Though it's easy to pretend

I know you're not a fool'

"That's not even what this is all about!" she screamed at me. "You just don't understand."

"Then make me understand. I'm not letting you leave without an explanation!"

"Well, you just don't have that kind of control over me."

"Shannon, tell me what the hell is going on! You owe it to me!"

"I owe it to you?! Well you owed it to me to stay away from the ring rats, but you didn't!"

"Ring rats? What the hell are you talking about?"

"I saw that girl you were talking to after RAW. I know what she was!"

"Oh my God! She was a fan! She wasn't a ring rat! All I did was sign her picture. I didn't do anything else. Hell, I didn't even hug her!"

'Should've known better than to cheat a friend

And waste the chance that I've been given'

"Jesus Shannon, you have that little of trust in me?! You're just jealous that I don't and CAN'T spend all my time with you! I'm sorry that fans want to speak to m from time to time! What am I supposed to do?! Ignore them? I will not do that!" I yelled at her as I watched gather more or her things.

"Well, fine, whatever. But I'm gone," she replied stopping to wipe her cheeks.

"Fine, I'm done fighting with you. If you want to leave, then go."

"Here." She handed me her engagement ring and the house key. She carried her last couple of boxes out of the house and left without another word.

'So I'm never gonna dance again

The way I danced with you'

I knew this was the end of something I would never get back in my life. Truth was, I loved her with everything I had. I loved her more than I've ever loved anyone. And now she was out of my life because of her stupid jealous and because I could stay out of the mansion. That's what started this mess, and now I wished I could take it all back. The house would be empty, as well as my heart. For now a part of it was missing, along with her.

'(Now that you're gone) Now that you're gone

(Now that you're gone) What I did so wrong

That you had to leave me alone'
