Andi

After spring break, Brandon and I became closer. Dad questioned why we looked ridiculously happy. Papa smacked him for being a dipwad. Let's say Dad isn't happy about the progression of the relationship between Brandon and me.

Dad will survive even if he doesn't view Brandon in the same light. At least I'm not pregnant. Dad didn't think that was funny. Papa thought it was hysterical since he said it was karma. I want to get through the rest of senior year.

Prom came, and so did finals. We went to prom and danced, then Brandon and I snuck off to a hotel room for the night. Did I mention Dad wasn't happy about that? Yeah, that was a big deal.

Finals arrived, and studying was insane. I was so busy studying that I forgot to eat. My parents made sure I ate. With the issues I have with an eating disorder, they didn't want me to land back in the hospital. I didn't want to go back.

I got through finals and managed to graduate, considering I spent time in the hospital this past year. It was a good day.

I stood on the back deck and leaned on the railing, waiting on Brandon to come over when someone came over to me.

"You've come a long way," Dad said as I looked at him and smiled.

"It's been a journey," I said.

He leaned on the railing and looked down, then at me. "It's hard you know," he said.

"What is?" I asked him.

"To watch your child go through hell," dad mentioned. I stood up and looked at him. "When I was younger, I didn't want to admit I fell in love with someone, and when I did, I was happy. I didn't think I could love someone as much as I love your Mom. Then one day, this little girl came into my life and stole my heart. The day I held you when you were born was the day I fell in love all over again, then it happened again when your brother was born," dad said.

I smiled.

"Andi, you and your brother mean the world to me and because it was meant to be with your mom, gave me two wonderful kids," he added.

I looked at my dad. "Well, we did get a pretty amazing father, who is there for us, no matter what. If it were for you, I wouldn't have survived this year. I know my setback was rough on you and Mom, but neither of you gave up on me. Sometimes it's meant to be for someone to be meant for you," I added as he smiled.

"Ready?" I heard Brandon say as Dad and I looked at him.

I looked at Dad. "Go and have fun," he said as I kissed his cheek, then left with Brandon to celebrate with my friends.

Bella

I walked out onto the back deck to find Andrew leaning on the railing. I walked over and leaned on it next to him.

"Brandon and Andi left," I told him.

"I know. I told Andi to have fun," Andrew said.

"And you didn't hurt Brandon? Are you getting soft on me?" I asked him.

He looked at me and chucked, then turned and pulled me to him. "Never, I'm still the guy you fell for trying to fake date to make my brother jealous," he reminded me as I giggled.

Andrew pulled me to him and kissed me as I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him back. Our relationship might not have started the way most do, but it brought us to this point, and I was glad. No matter what, I knew Andrew, and I would handle life with the way we always do, unexpectedly and I had a feeling life was going to deal one of the kids with a significant blow.

Coop

Most of the summer was fun, spending it with everyone and Andi before she left for school. Cody was going to school but said we would figure it out. I wasn't worried.

I went with my parents to help Andi get settled into her place at school. She was sharing an apartment with Brandon and Marta much to Dad's dismay. I decided to see Cody before we left to go home since it would be a while before I saw him again.

I went to his place and knocked on the door, then waited. The door opened a few minutes later as some guy answered the door, shirtless.

"Mark, who is it?" I heard Cody's voice as I stood there and furrowed my brows.

"Some guy," the guy yelled back as Cody walked to the door in a towel.

"Coop?" Cody looked at me, confused.

I wasn't confused. It didn't take a genius to figure out what was going on here. I turned and walked away.

"Coop, wait!" Cody yelled as I walked and flipped him off.

I made it back to the apartment and went inside as my parents were talking to Mariana, Kevin, Brila, and Caleb.

"Coop? Are you okay?" Dad asked me as he looked at me, concerned.

"Peachy. Cody is cheating on me with some guy named Mark. Can we go home?" I asked as they stood there shocked as my sister, Brandon, and Marta looked at me, stunned. I didn't want to talk about it. I wanted to go home. I'm over love and Cody can suck it.

I went out to the car and got inside. I didn't cry; I just sat there as my parents came out to take me home. They tried to talk to me, but I didn't say anything. What's to say? Love sucks, and I refuse to love anyone else. I'm over it.
