After graduation I went out on a few dates, trying everything incareless and a little reckless That’s how I chose to deal with getting over Mason I had a few one-night stands, doing the walk of sha, but no ive anyone a chance Mason was ot away

I am all alone I a myself, I call Jaylinn and tell her I ao back into Mason’s room and pick up one of the pictures of us to take with o back to MacKenzie’s house

I explain everything to Jaylinn and Cooper I apologize for sticking Jaylinn with Ryder all day and I apologize to Cooper for laying allto be sorry for and they are the ones that are actually sorry if what Lily said is true They both leave and promise to call me tomorrow I really wish MacKenzie was here, I need hchair, and sit and watch cartoons for the rest of the night until he falls asleep in et by

Did I just e ood?

I’ on the cool bathroo up I swear to God I’ht? I’ve gotten wastedlike that There is a tap on the door, and it rings loudly in my ears

The door opens; Cooper steps in and throws a towel over my nad body He shuts the toilet lid and takes a seat "You want to explain what she’s doing here?"

I squeezeso loud, assle"

"I don’t think I’m the assle here this time" Cooper deadpans

I force myself to sit up My stomach rolls with the movement but I’m able to keep the bile down "I have no idea what the fk happened, Coop" I adjust the towel towith Hailey I storuys We were drinking and bullshitting about the ga after that"

"How did you get home?" Cooper questionsafter sitting around with the guys" My whole body is aching right now I feel aon "Shit! What time is it? Did I miss practice?"

"Not yet I came up here to wake you up and found you with her" Cooper stands up and holds a hand out to help rab Cooper’s hand and he helpson the floor and go find out what the hell happened last night and to put the trash on the curb

I push openthe shirt that I had on last night I park myself on the end of the bed because I’s can hold ht? I want the truth, Lily You do knohat that is, right?" I can’t even stoht now I just did the worst thing possible to Hailey Everything she accused , I just did it

"I came over and asked you to dance with me so I could talk to you about what happened earlier I didn’t want to talk in front of your friends I didn’t know you asted until you tried to get up Actually you were ossified We didn’t getdone You pulledaround talking and then one thing kind of lead to another and here I am"
