"How could I forget?" She gave a small chuckle before starting back to the house. That bitch better have the best damn explanation I've ever heard for what he's done or I'm going to punch him. Okay calm down with the violence. That's my thing.
"I can't control my anger anymore,"
Lillian put a hand to his face, "Then we can work on that too."
Ryan smiled outside the house, "I'm just gonna wait out here," You trust too easily.
Cooper sat on the couch with his head between his knees and his hands rubbing his neck.
"I can't control my anger anymore,"
Lillian put a hand to his face, "Then we can work on that too."
"Okay," He whispered.
She smiled back. "I'll be back, I promise." She walked inside, willing her temper to calm. She stood in front of him and cleared her throat to get his attention.
Lillian smiled and pecked his lips, "Good."
Cooper's head popped up quickly, "Belle," He said with surprise. He stood up quickly, brushing himself off.
Lillian smiled and pecked his lips, "Good."
"We should, uhh, pick that up," He paused, "You done drugs recently?"
She crossed her arms across her chest, not looking pleased. "I will give you five minutes to explain what the hell happened before I punch you. Go."
Lillian smiled and pecked his lips, "Good."
"We should, uhh, pick that up," He paused, "You done drugs recently?"
Lillian thought for a second, "Define recently."
She crossed her arms across her chest, not looking pleased. "I will give you five minutes to explain what the hell happened before I punch you. Go."
"Belle I…" He huffed, "I care about you, a lot, and I… I got carried away. Sorry," He really didn't know how to tell her he loved her.
Lillian smiled and pecked his lips, "Good."
"We should, uhh, pick that up," He paused, "You done drugs recently?"
Lillian thought for a second, "Define recently."
"When's the last time?"
She wasn't convinced. "That's not all. There's more. I know there is. I want to know everything that went into your thinking there."
"A week ago?" Lillian said with a slight wince.
Darren laughed, "Okay… Weed?"
She wasn't convinced. "That's not all. There's more. I know there is. I want to know everything that went into your thinking there."
"I don't know what to tell you. It was stupid, I was stupid, I'm sorry," Was he really going to have to tell her? It was obvious he was holding back on it.
Lillian nodded, "Yep."
Darren nodded, "Okay," Darren's blush returned in full force.
She stepped closer, raising herself to be eye level and softened her voice. "You can tell me. All I want to know is why." The flashbacks flickered through her vision again. They'd had this exact same conversation multiple times before.
Lillian laughed slightly with a blush, "What's up with the blush?"
Cooper looked her in the eye, "I'm in love with you," He mumbled.
Lillian laughed slightly with a blush, "What's up with the blush?"
"What?! What blush," He turned away quickly.
Lillian moved so she saw his red face, "That blush!"
She was taken aback a small bit. After all these years? Still? I'm as shocked as you are. She didn't know what to say. Actually, she did know, she just didn't know how. "Define in love." She knew it was a stupid question but she needed time to gather how she was going to say what she wanted to without it being an awkward silence.
Lillian moved so she saw his red face, "That blush!"
Darren dropped his head, "It's nothing,"
Lillian smiled as she ducked down and looked into his eyes, "Oh really?'

Cooper talking about his feelings… This would be fun… "When I'm around you it feels like it used to, like you're 14 and I wish I never did the things I did. And when you're with Ryan… I've never been so jealous of someone before, he has you and that makes him lucky. I miss you every day and I have to watch you love him and hate me, it hurts that you hate me. I've been sorry for a long time."
(After all this time…………………. Always)
Lillian smiled as she ducked down and looked into his eyes, "Oh really?'
Darren locked eyes with her, "It's nothing Lillian," Oh my gosh druggy.
Lillian pouted slightly, "But you never blush."
"I never blush, I never do drugs, and I'm a quarterback that everyone looks up to or swoons over…" Darren sighed.
