I sit straight up in my bed as I begin psycho dialing Heather back. I need to make sure that Addy is doing alright. I know she can probably take care of herself but just the thought of something happening to her makes my chest ache.

Unable to get Heather on the phone, I grab my keys and head out the door. If she won't answer, I’ll just have to go and see for myself. Just as I hop into the car, my phone starts to ring.

“Is she okay?” I shout into the phone as soon as it connects to the blue tooth.

“Cool your jets, lover boy, she is just fine. Like I wouldn’t take care of my own cousin. She’s in bed, even with the tears,” Heather snarkes into the phone.

“Tears? What tears? What the hell did you do?” I push my foot down on the gas pedal willing my car to go faster, panic suddenly sets in. The thought that something could happen to Addy when I wasn’t around scares me.

“Seriously, Cole! You need to chill. She got a phone call from her dad before we went out, it was the entire reason I suggested we go in the first place. He gave her a tough time once again and tried to force her to come home.”

I can hear the sympathy in her voice. She doesn’t have the best relationship with her father, but she never had to worry about whether her parents were proud of her. The little that Addy has told me about her father, he’s a real piece of work.

“I could strangle that asshole for making my girl feel less worthy,” I growl as I stop in front of their house.

“Your girl, huh?”

“Shut up! Just open the door, I’m here to check on her.”

As I head up the path, I notice the door open and Heather standing in the doorway. She cocks her eyebrow at me as she crosses her arms over her chest. I know what this looks like, but this time it’s different.

“Please,” I whisper looking my best friend in the eyes. She must see something because she steps to the side so I can come in.

“First door on the right, I better find you with clothes on when I come up there. You have ten minutes.”

I rush up the stairs two at a time before I make it to her room, the muffled sobs I hear through the door make my heartbreak.

“Addy,” I whisper before I enter the room, she turns around. I see her tear-streaked face, but it has never looked so beautiful.

“What are you doing here?” I can hear the panic in her voice as she reaches up to smooth her hair down and wipe her face.

I walk over and frame her face with my hands. “You're beautiful.” I place a kiss on her forehead.

Tears begin to stream down her face once again as she lays her hand on mine. “Why do you have to be so perfect?”

“Not perfect, I just care about you.
