PROLOGUE
EMILY
I had just finished my
last class for the day and arrived home. I opened the door and went to the
kitchen where Cooper was rummaging through the fridge for a snack. I hadn’t
thought he even noticed me until I heard him ask, “Hey, Josh is having a party
tonight. Do you want go?”
I placed my school bag on
the counter and answered, “Sure, sounds good, but I promised Jen I’d help her
study. You go on ahead, and we will be over later.”
He put the makings of a
sandwich on the counter and pulled me in for a kiss. “How was your day, babe? I
missed you.”
I kissed him back, pulling
him into a hug. He kissed the top of my head as I answered, “It was long, but
my classes were pretty interesting. How was yours?”
He released me and began
making his sandwich, “Good. I really like it there. The CEO had a talk with me
today. He wants to create a position for me when I graduate. We even talked
salary. It would be six figures.”
I stopped unloading my bag
and stared at him for a second. That was amazing news. I turned and wrapped my
arms around his neck and jumped up, wrapping my legs around him. He grabbed the
back of my thighs.
I kissed him deeply, then
gave him kisses all over his cheeks. “Cooper, this is amazing news! I am so
very proud of you. I knew you would be awesome! Now you can tell your dad that
you made the right decision by not going to medical school.”
“Thanks, Babe. It’s still
such a shock, but it feels great, knowing I already have a job.”
I kissed him again and
pulled back. “I’m so happy for you, and I love knowing your job is here, where
I’ll be next year.”
At about nine o’clock, Jen
and I finally finished studying and headed to Josh’s house. Josh was a friend
of Cooper’s, whom he met his first year of college. We got along great, but I
didn’t really consider him my friend; he was Cooper’s friend. He was a great
guy, and I was glad that Cooper had him.
As we pulled up, I looked
around; cars were everywhere. The house was an older, small brick home, close
to campus.
We started walking up the
sidewalk when I saw my brother, Chris. “Hey, Chris. Is Cooper inside?” He
grabbed my hand and kept walking in the direction he was walking––away from the
house.
“What are you doing?” I
asked him. “I’d like to go inside with Cooper.”
He stopped walking and
turned around to face me. “You don’t want to go in there. I told him to leave.”
My stomach knotted a little,
“What are you talking about? Why would you want Cooper to leave?” I was so
confused.
“Jason showed up with some
weed. I know you hate it when Cooper smokes, but tonight he’s acting funny.
Maybe it would just be best if you left. No one wants to see y’all argue.”
Great. Just great. Instead
of celebrating Cooper’s good news together, he was celebrating by getting high.
“You’re right. I hate it, but I’ll keep my temper in check. We can talk about
it tomorrow. Just let me go inside.”
Chris nodded and let go of
me. We walked into the house; people were everywhere. As I searched the small
house for Cooper, I realized I didn’t know anyone here. It was easy to search
the small living room; no Cooper in sight. I made my way through all of the
people to search the kitchen, but I still didn’t see him.
I turned around to search
elsewhere and heard a familiar voice say, “Oh, look who it is: Cooper’s nag.”
My anger flared, but I
managed to keep it under control. Jason knew I couldn’t stand him, and he was
just trying to piss me off. It was working. I decided to not even turn around;
I just kept walking.
“She’s not going to like
what she finds in the bedroom,” I heard him say behind me. My stomach was in
knots as I realized I had searched everywhere but the bedrooms and bathrooms. I
could feel something like fear creeping into every fiber of my being. I needed
to get a handle on it; I knew Cooper wouldn’t cheat on me. He loves me…
