A/N: I don't write a lot of fan fiction, but this story has just been in my head for way to long to ignore. Any constructive criticism you have would be greatly appreciated. Please no flames. And now back to your regularly scheduled program….
--Casey didn't know why she had butterflies in her stomach. Scratch that. She did. She just didn't want to admit that spending the entire weekend with Cappie in California sounded like the best weekend she would have had in, well, years. "Freshman year to be exact" she said out loud to the empty room. "Why is it that I let Cappie get to me like this?"
"Well that's the easiest question I'll have to answer in my college career."
"Ash. Sorry, I didn't hear you come in."
"Eh. No biggie. I just know when to arrive so that I can maximize the smart moments in my life. Besides, who else are you going to talk to about Cappie. You know you'll make someone listen and it might as well be someone who really knows the whole story. And for the record, you love him. That's why he gets to you like this."
"Oh, I don't think its love. Maybe it used to be, but Cap and I are just friends. We've been just friends for quite some time now and it works for us. Besides, I'm only going so that I can stage this big breakup fight with him so that he can put this whole thing behind him. You see, it's all for Cappie's parents. Just a big show to make them realize that we are not perfect for each other."
"Yeah, and I'm the next American Idol. Honestly Case, can you really tell me that you have absolutely no feelings left for Cappie and that you are not totally looking forward to this weekend?"
"Yes" and if looks could kill, the one Ashley was giving Casey would be a direct hit.
"Absolutely" …
"Maybe"….
"Possibly….
"Oh. Forget it. You win"
"I may not win every argument we have, but I will always win when it comes to you can Cappie. Besides, what's so wrong about loving him?"
"It's just so hard sometimes, Ash. I never knew if he was going to be around or if he was going to go off and party with the KT's and forget me."
"I don't think you are giving Cap enough credit here Case. Sure, he hasn't always been the most reliable person in your life, but lets be honest, he's changed. You can't tell me you don't see that. Besides, he has even managed to stick with the same major for over a month. That's got to count for something."
"Haha. You always know how to make me laugh, I guess, I'm just scared of getting hurt again. I just don't want to get my hopes up and find out that all he wants is the means to an end this weekend. That this is just his way to close the Casey/Cappie chapter of his life."
"Casey, for someone who is as smart as you are, you certainly have a lot to learn. Cappie could no sooner get over you then Jack gets over Rose in Titanic."
"Ok. Ok. Point taken. I just hope this relationship doesn't have the same tragic ending."
"Hey, they meet again in the end."
"Yeah, but they both had to die first, not your best example."
"Sad, but true."
--A/N: Sorry the chapters have been so short, I just haven't had much time to dedicate to this and I'm trying to update as quickly as possible. Let me know what you think!
