POV: Dani

Timeline: After Cole and Dani return home from France, before the kidnapping

I peek my head in the office, no Cole or Jorden. Where could they be? I stand and ponder in the hallway before making my way down the stairs to the Beta floor. Music can be heard coming through the speakers connected to Jorden's stereo. I tip toe my way to Jorden's bedroom dooring before swinging it open quietly.

"LET IT GOOOO" Jorden sings. "SHIT!" Cole yells seeing me laughing in the doorway. Cole turns off the speakers and shoves Jorden off the bed.

"Hi Dani." He waves awkwardly. Jorden laughs, "Busted." He playfully teases. Cole turns to his friend and growls.

I laugh as the pair start wrestling on the floor. "You know Cole," I start to say, halting their match, "You have a pretty good voice." Cole turn's beat red and Jorden hoots and hollers in laughter.

"I think you damaged his pride." Jorden states. I roll my eyes at the clown and turn back to my mate. "Sing something else." Cole shakes his head. "Please." I urge. Jorden goes silent. Did I do something?

Cole looks down before looking back up. He clears his throat once before closing his eyes.

What's your all-time high, your good as it gets?

Your hands down best ever make-up sex?

What's your guilty pleasure, your old go to?

Well if you asked me, mine would be you

What's your worst hangover, your best night yet?

Your 90 proof, your Marlboro Red?

The best damn thing you lucked into

That's easy girl, mine would be you

Mine would be you

Sun keeps shining, back road flying

Singing like crazy fools

Making up your own words

Laughing 'til it hurts

Baby, if I had to choose

My best day ever

My finest hour, my wildest dream come true

Mine would be you

What's your double dare, your go all in?

The craziest thing you ever did?

Plain as your name in this tattoo

Look on my arm, mine would be you

Mine would be you

Sun keeps shining, back road flying

Singing like crazy fools

Making up your own words

Laughing 'til it hurts

Baby, if I had to choose

My best day ever

My finest hour, my wildest dream come true

Mine would be you

What's the greatest chapter in your book?

Are there pages where it hurts to look?

What's the one regret you can't work through?

You got it baby, mine would be you

Yeah you got it baby, mine would be you

Mine would be you

Taillights fading

Daylight breaking

Standing there like a fool

When I should've been running

Yellin' out something

To make you wanna hold on to

The best love ever

Girl, can you tell me

The one thing you'd rather die than loose

Cause mine would be you

Mine would be, you

(Mine would be you, Blake Shelton. That song is foreshadowing for the end of the first book.)

Cole opens his eyes. "I love you." I say walking over and hugging him.

Just like always, Jorden ruins the moment, "Damn." He mumbles. "I didn't see that coming."

Cole grunts in his friend's direction and continues to hug me back.

"I'm not that scarred by my father." He responds. Only I can see, the look in his eyes states otherwise.
