Stacy laughed as Cassi slid down the side of the pool wall,
"Oh Shut up!" she said laughing picking up her board.
"Grab a pad & take notes Andrews!" Tony laughed , whizzing by her,
"It's Peralta! Don't ever call me that name again." she said laughing still as she walked back up towards the steps.
Jay smiled wrapping his arms around her, kissing her neck.
"No Tony! It'll be Adams soon!" He said as she laughed.

Cassi & Jay hadbeen dating for a long while, her hair was as long as Stacy's be for he started chemo.
Her once white skin had a beautiful light brown tint, her back had healed so well you couldn't even see her scars unless someone pointed them out to you. Jay let her go, she put down her board & took off.

"You know I was serious about the Adams thing." Jay said clearing his throat, Stacy looked at him.
"Really ?" Stacy asked Jay put his finger to his lips & pulled a ring from his jacket pocket, He smiled watching Stacy's jaw drop.
"I talked with your dad a while back Stacy, he said it was cool."
"Dose Tony or Skip know?"
"Know? Peralta, I helped him pick out that puppy!" laughed Tony .

A light rain began to fall, Tony, Jay,& Stacy climbed out of the pool.
"Cassi come on!" Stacy called as the rain began to fall harder.
They all watched as she stode there in the pool arms stretched out, her head leaned all the way back the rain falling down on her, surprisingly the shower didn't last long. Cassi walked up to them after the rain stopped.
"I couldn't do it bro, I live for stuff like that." She said standing in front of Stacy soaked to the bone like she was a few mons ago. "This is it" thought Jay seeing Skip, his mom, Ron,& Katie out of the corner of his eye, Ron winked.
Jay took a deep breath, getting down on one knee, "Cassi I love you, Will you do me the honor of marring me?" He asked, her blue eyes sparkled with intensity. "Yes!" She said throwing his arms around her.
"God I forgot how soaked you were." He laughed with her kissing her softly.

It was the evening, Cassi smiled slapping Ron's leg playfully. He roughed her hair still damp from her shower. Katie had met up with some friends for the evening. There was a knock at the door,
"I got it!" Cassi said beating Stacy to the door.
"What are you doing here?" She said the fear in her voice scared Stacy. All he could really see was a gun & an arm. She slowly backed up, as the person entered the small home. James Andrews.
"How dare you run from me." He said slamming the door behind him, Cassi jumped.
"You hit her, she had a reason to run." Stacy said, standing by her, his heart pounded.
"Shut up!" James snapped pointing the gun directly at Stacy, "You're the reason she left."
"I'm the reason she's alive!" James cocked the gun, still taking aim at Stacy.
"Stacy stop!" She begged Tears now running down her face.
"How could you do that to her?" Stacy continued, an anger Ron or Cassi had never seen.
"Stacy please!"
"Why we're you trying to kill her?"
"STACY!"

BANG

Jay & Tony looked at each other, jumped out of the car, bolting up the stairs, Tony flung the door open.
"OH GOD!"
