A/N: So, I'll guess another update again. Thanks for the tips :) I'll do something with it. ^^ Enjoy this one.

Oh, I am completely aware of the fact that it's a bit weird that Marisa and Casey met on internet and she lives in the village, but let's pretend that's not weird at all ^^

The next morning Casey woke up early. The sun was already risen, but it was still six o'clock. Casey decided to go for a morning walk. She liked that when she was young. The quietness of the village. The birds whistling their morning songs. She carefully got out of bed, without waking Alex and put on some clothes. She decided to go to the bakery for some fresh bread. When she approached a little bakery on the corner of the street, she could smell the scent of freshly baked bread.

She entered the bakery and bought a loaf of bread. She went outside again and walked to the park to eat the piece of bread on a bench, enjoying the morning. She found her favorite space when she was young. It was exactly the same. The bench was really old and the trees too. It was secluded from the rest of the park, so you had a little privacy. She sat down on the bench and looked at the sunrise. The sun tried to shine between the branches of the trees. She closed her eyes. A few seconds later she heard someone approaching and sitting down next to her.

"So, I guess you never changed, right?" Casey opened her eyes and stared into the blue eyes of Marisa.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Casey reacted.

"Just, sitting on the bench, talking to you." Marisa answered. "I guess you're doing the same. It's not illegal right? I heard you've become one of New York's finest ADAs."

"I am an ADA. That's right. But I don't want to talk to you. So, go away."

"I am not going anywhere. I like to sit here."

"You're just annoying me. And I know what you're trying to do." Casey narrowed her eyes.

"Oh, you do? Then tell me what. Because I have no idea." but she smirked, so Casey could tell she damn well knew what she was doing right there.

"You know. You're trying to get me back. Well, I have a girlfriend, and it's pretty serious. So you have no chance." Casey hissed.

"Oh, that woman you were with yesterday? Your girlfriend right? I see you still like blonde and blue eyes. Never changed. You just found a replacement. But you don't need one. You can take me back." Marisa smirked. "Or actually. I'll take you back."

"I don't want you. I never wanted you ever since you were that loathsome bitch. You screwed up, Marisa. You know that. We weren't meant to be together. Me and Alex are, so stay away from us. Leave us alone."

"What you have isn't real. What we had was. I saved your life. You were dead if I didn't exist. You were still having an eating disorder if I didn't make you eat again. You were still scratching yourself if I didn't forbid you to. You were a miserable wreck if you never met me. We were meant to be together. We are meant to be together. Not Alex and you." She grabbed Casey's wrists and kissed her on the lips. Casey tried to pull away, but Marisa was really strong. To get more control over Casey, Marisa straddled Casey's lap, pinning her down on the bench.

"Please, let me go.." Casey cried.

"Why? You're mine."

"I'm not. I'm Alex's. You're crazy. I don't love you." Casey cried, tears running down her cheeks.

"In the past you told me you did."

"But I don't anymore. I love Alex. I'm gonna move in with Alex."

"You don't love her. What you have isn't real." Marisa kissed Casey's neck.

"Please stop. I want Alex." Casey cried, trying to pull herself away from Marisa, but obviously failing to. She just closed her eyes, praying to God for Marisa to stop. She didn't want this. A moment later the weight shifted from her lap.

"Let her go." she heard the beautiful voice of Alex, never so welcome before. She heard a bang of a falling body.

"Why, she's mine. She just told me she is."

"I believe I heard her saying she wanted me." Alex said. "And that she definitely wanted you to stop what you were doing. By the way, that's my girlfriend you're kissing right there. And since I'm possessive, I'm saying you can't just do that. I am an ADA and I think it's best that every crime should be punished."

"Oh, what are you going to do? Prosecuting me? Do I have to be scared?" her voice exuded condescension.

"Yes you have to. And I'm not prosecuting, that obviously doesn't work with you. I'm gonna say you this loud and clear. She chose me, not you. Stay away from her. Otherwise I will deal with you and you don't want that." Alex said, turning to Casey. "Come, we're going home. Eating breakfast or something. She's not worth any attention."

But right after she said that, Marisa was standing again and pounced on Alex's back, wrapping her legs around her.

"What the hell, bitch. You didn't listen to me?" Alex yelled. She grabbed Marisa's wrist and threw her over her back on the ground. Marisa fell hard on her back on the ground with a big bang. A few birds flew away from the trees standing nearest at the bench. "Just shut up. Come, Case, we're going."

They turned their back and walked back home.

"How did you find me?" Casey asked.

"Well, I noticed when I woke up that you were gone, and your brother told me you had this place in the park where I was most likely to find you. And turns out that couldn't do harm, because I think I just saved you from the wrath of your ex."

"I feel filthy. I think I'm gonna take a shower when I get home." Casey making a face. "By the way, I didn't know you knew how to fight."

"Once I learned some judo. Turns out that wasn't my biggest waste of money." Alex smirked, wrapping her arm around Casey's waist, pulling her into a hug.

"You are possessive. You admitted that."

"Oh, I am. But I wouldn't be if you weren't so terribly great." Alex smirked. Casey couldn't stop herself from grinning.

"I just realized how much I love you. When Marisa sat on top of me.. I wanted you to save me. I wanted you to kiss me and be with me forever. I wanted you to save me whenever I needed to be saved, the rest of my life. And that scares me. I never had that with someone." Casey confessed.

"Me neither." Alex kissed Casey tender. "But I'm not scared. I'm glad I finally found someone who I can trust, no matter what. Who I can lean on. Who will take me for who I am. Who wants to live with me." Alex smiled. "Who kisses me likes she means it. Who says she loves me and means it. Who means everything."

Casey grinned. "I kind of had the feeling you were going to propose, Lex. I'm just not ready for that kind of commitment. Baby steps."

"Yeah, it kind of looked that way. Good thing is I didn't want to ask. I like it that we take things slow. It makes the heart grow fonder, right?"

"No, absence does. But I don't want you to be absent." Casey grinned. "Stay with me. Who else would save me from bad blondes?"

"Cops will do. But I volunteer." Alex grinned. "I will prosecute them after, if you want."

"You're crazy."

"Crazy about you."

They approached Casey's house.

"So, you told me you wanted to take a shower. I think you can use some company, don't you?" Alex smirked.

"Of course I can. As long as you're going to explain my parents why we both have to use the bathroom at the same time and the noises we make in there."

"Deal." Alex grinned.

"You're a perv. But I won't spoil the fun and let you take that shower with me." Casey grinned, lacing her fingers between Alex's and pulling her inside the house.
