It was two in the afternoon the next day before Casey decided to grace the world with her presence by getting out of bed. She walked down the stairs groggily and into the kitchen where Nick, Jane and Bj were all sitting at the table eating lunch and discussing plans for the day.

They all looked up at her and smiled, well, with the exception of Nick who just scowled and looked away. "Hello everyone. Whats up?" She asked before setting herself down and pouring herself a bowl of Lucky Charms.

"You slept for a while, late night last night?" Jane asked with a warm smile on her face.

"Like you wouldn't believe." Nick scoffed and Jane looked at him.

"What was that?"

"Nothing." He shook his head.

"SO? Have fun with Aj last night?" Bj asked excitedly and Casey smiled a little.

"We had fun, we danced, we talked, we partied."

"Gonna hook up again?" Jane asked interested in the conversation.

"I'm not sure. I like AJ ya know, but I just don't know if we're right for each other."

"How could you not be?! You two are more alike than Nsync and the Backstreet Boys." The table all laughed but Nick just frowned and got up, leaving the room unnoticed while the girls continued to talk.

"Well, I don't know. There was just something missing. I mean, I had a blast with Aj, I realy did. But it was more of a 'friend fun' thing...do you know what I mean?" Jane and Bj nodded.

"Well, I'm done. I have to be at work at 3:00 so I'll see you guys tonight." Casey said putting her bowl in the sink and walking out of the kitchen.

"Oh hey Casey, we're having some of Aaron's friends over tonight for dinner so if you'd like to join us, you're welcome. But you don't have to." Jane spoke up.

"I'll think about it. I'm not sure." Casey said and walked away to get ready for work.
