prologue / the crew

lexi cooper.
a year of living in the bahamas with derick cooper. she was herself, just a year older and a lot more smarter than before moving back home.
but she was also broken. she was broken because she had nothing going for her. she lived almost alone all the time. her dad was a year sober, a year back to himself, except with the fillers he had to keep in his life. he was a workaholic now, no more being an alcoholic, but now being a workaholic.
lexi cooper liked her life, but she was bored and alone. being alone can change a person, even break a person. lexi found a job, just as a cashier. one of her coworkers, blake, she dated him for a while, which made her not so broken, but cut things off when she found out he was cheating on her with their manger. she is 31.
she was broken again.
there was no excitement in her life, no trips, no adventures, no friends, no family, besides her workaholic father. there was no one and nothing.
that changed her.
she started to hated everyone. she hated the world, the people in the world. she hated the water. surfing. boat rides. she hated kids and presents. she hated gifts and holidays. she hated herself. she hated everything.
lexi cooper became someone who wasn't her. she became a simple broken girl who hated everything. that's who she was all year. that's what she put upfront to hide things because those things didn't matter.
lexi cooper was a broken, cold hearted, women.
