A/N: I only own Lee.

littleone999, ashmarie, maimitravel, & sonib89- thanks for the reviews! Sorry for the delay in updates. Enjoy!

Stu POV

I could see Lee and Paul asleep in the backseat. I found myself getting jealous and I didn't know why. I knew that I liked her and she was a nice girl, but I didn't think that I liked her in that sense. I finally pulled into the hotel and was glad to be there. I carefully woke up Paul and he woke up Lee. She still didn't look like she felt good. We all got rooms and loaded into the elevator; I looked over and Lee was leaning on Heath.

"Hey, man, you want to get dinner?" Heath asked me and I nodded.

"Yeah, we all going?" I asked him and he nodded.

"Great, an hour?" I asked him and he nodded. I heard him telling everyone else and I saw Lee slowly go into her room. I really felt bad for her. We all knew that she was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. I knew that Heath wishes he had taken the shot instead of her. I was surprised that Adam hadn't demanded a match with John yet.

Lee POV

We got to the hotel and I lay down. I didn't care about anything; I just wanted this to stop hurting. I took a pain pill and lay down. I knew that Paul had a key to my room incase, but I didn't care right now. I fell asleep after testing Adam; I knew that he was still worried about me.

I was woken up a later to someone gently shaking me. I opened my eyes to see Stu, Paul, and Adam standing beside the bed.

"What?" I asked them.

"Hey, sis, we came to see if you were alright." Adam said and sat next to me. The swelling had gone down some, but it still hurt.

"I'm ok, just here." I said and he hugged me.

"Here is some soup." Stu said and I smiled at him.

"There is a mug so you can drink it." Paul said and I tried to smile. I'm sure it just made me look uglier.

"Thanks, guys." I said.

"I will stay with you." Adam said and the other two left.

"Are you sure you are ok?" he asked me and I looked at him.

"Yes, it looks bad and it feels bad, but I'm ok because I'm still alive. Is John still alive?" I asked him and he smirked.

"For the moment… he is been avoiding most of us." He said and I nodded.

"I know it was an accident." I said and Adam laughed.

"You always were the nicer one." He said and I shrugged.

"I try." I said.

I was drinking my soup and watching TV until Adam started to yawn. I told him to go on to bed and he told me he would check on me in the morning. I sighed as I laid there; I couldn't go back to sleep. I finally grabbed my stuff, put a hat on, and walked to the elevator.

"Where are you going?" I heard a voice said and I turned to see Stu. He grimaced when he saw my face and I sighed.

"Out, so that you don't have to look at me." I said and got onto the elevator. He sighed and followed me onto it.

"Where are you going?" he asked me again.

"I told you… out." I said and he got off. He kept following me out of the hotel.

"Look, Stu, stalking is illegal in America." I said and he smirked.

"I'm aware, but I am going to make sure that no one is going to hurt you." he said and I shook my head.

"No one wants to hurt the ugly girls… they get left alone." I said and turned to walk away.

"Stop, Lee, you are still beautiful." He said and I looked at him.

"Right… that's why you all make a face every time you see me." I said and pushed him away. I kept on walking and he was right behind me. I grabbed two cokes and saw a small fountain in the middle of the city. I walked over to it and sat down. He was still right beside me. I handed him a coke and he laughed. I was drinking mine when he opened his and took a drink. He made and face and I was laughing.

"They aren't like this at home." He mumbled and I was laughing at him. He smiled at me and sat his coke down.

"See you still look beautiful… especially when you smile." He said and I sighed.

"No, I really don't… I have accepted it." I said and he scooted closer to me.

"Lee, you really are beautiful." He said.

"Says who?" I asked him.

"Love, you have a lot of the locker room watching you… they are just all too scared to make a move because of Adam." He mumbled.

Stu POV

I realized that I was sitting beside Lee and telling her way too much. She was so easy to talk to and she listened.

"I don't believe you." she said and I smirked.

"Fine, don't… but it's true." I said and she looked at me.

"It would be nice if… never mind." She was saying.

"What?" I asked her.

"Nothing… Adam just has that effect a lot… it's annoying." She said and I knew that it bothered her.

"I'm don't think that everyone is scared of him." I said and she shrugged.

"Who knows… come on, let's walk back." she said and started to walk away. I grabbed her wrist and gently pulled her to me. She was in my lap and she looked confused.

"I'm one of those guys." I whispered and kissed her. She leaned into the kiss and finally pulled away. She was looking at me and chewing on her bottom lip.

"I'm sorry… I…" I was saying and she put a finger over my mouth.

"Don't ever apologize for something you wanted to do… plus… I kinda liked it." she said and I smiled.

"Please don't think that you aren't beautiful right now… you are." I said and she looked down.

"Why are you being this way to me?" she asked me and I looked at her.

"Because, I got so jealous when Paul was holding you, I wanted to hurt John when he kicked you, and I wanted to rip Matt to pieces when he did that to you… those aren't feelings that just a friend has… I felt more. I wanted to protect you and make sure that you were alright." I said and she nodded.

"If you don't feel the same way then no one has to know about the kiss and we can be friends… if you want." I said and I prayed that she didn't want that.

"I just want to make sure you aren't just in this for the storyline." She said and I sighed. I had dated Jillian when I first started because we were put in a storyline together before Nexus was formed. I had broken up with her right after Nexus and the only excuse I gave was because I was out of that storyline and didn't have time anymore.

"No, I know what you are talking about and the truth was that she cheated on me. I chose to make me look like the bad guy because she was so upset about cheating. I don't like cheaters and I didn't want to stay with her, but I wasn't going to make her look like the bad one in the relationship." I said and Lee looked surprised.

"Oh." She said and I looked at her.

"Please… ?" I asked her and she looked at me. She pulled me in for the softest kiss. I started to deepen it and I felt her wince.

"I'm an idiot… I'm sorry, love." I said and she just looked at me. I had forgotten that she was hurt.

"It's ok, come on." She said and I smiled as she took my hand. We were walking back to the hotel and it was around 1 am.

"Wait… do you want to keep up a secret right now?" she asked me and I looked at her strange.

"Why?" I asked her.

"Stu… you know people will talk… plus, I don't want people to think that we are dating just because of the storyline." She said and I nodded. I didn't care, but if she did then we would keep it a secret.

I walked her back to her room, she kissed my cheek, and I walked back to my room. Paul was sitting up watching TV.

"She ok?" he asked me and I nodded.

"Yeah, just needed some fresh air.
