Here he was, sitting on a stool, wallowing in his sorrows. This chair sucked ass. Everything sucked fucking ass. But that was just how Coop’s life went, his depressing life. How had he managed to fall into this state? Hadn’t there been a time when everything went smoothly, there was no bumps on the path of his life? No, there had never been such a time. Never. What was new? Here he was being a pessimistic, realizing he had nothing to look forward to in live, he may as well go purchase a shovel and dig up a hole for him to fall into. Maybe if he died now, he’d go to that ‘happy’ place all those stupid fucks talked about. Hell, people had no idea what they talked about these days.

The truth was a scary thing, was it not? Apparently to all the pathetic asshole’s who roamed this place it was. It must’ve been due to the fact that they just couldn’t come to terms with that people live and die, they turn to dust and nothing more or less. There was no happy place, Coop knew that. How? Because he was the only sensible dick that walked around. Damn, if there was only more people like him…

“Another one Delancy?” The bartender offered, looking at Cooper expectantly. He was a regular at this bar, he had been for many years. Instead of going home to his wife and son, like any faithful husband would do, he came here. This was his true home. This place offered him comfort and protection. Protection from the idiotic people he surrounded himself with every blasted day, protection from the stupidity of this world, protection from any feelings he may feel that could threaten his well being. Call him blocked off, call him a black sheep, call him whatever the fuck you want because quite frankly, Cooper doesn’t give a shit.

“Fire another one up.” His deep British accent confirming the expectation. He had to have at least eight before he even considered leaving. Why had he been so reluctant to return home? Because he knew what awaited him, he knew the person he had to play. He had to be the family man, the husband, things that Cooper never intended on becoming, that had never been his ambitions or his intentions. Instead he found himself trapped. He could remember the days when his finger hadn’t felt so heavy, when there was no gold wedding band stuck onto it. Good times. Coop had been so determined to return to those days, he rarely wore his ring.

Not only because it weighed him down, it was a constant reminder of the burdens and responsibilities he had to keep to. No ring would ever restrain him, no gold band would hold him back. Cooper needed to regain some dominance, he slightly yearned to feel needed. Yes, he had a wife, a son, a family, who all needed him. However, he enjoyed having something new, something he could show off and flaunt. What better than to have a certain female wrapped around his arm to help him receive that sort of satisfaction.

Feeling another presence slide in between a rather large man and Coop, it grabbed his immediate attention. Turning his amber eyes towards the rare, slender beauty, he silently scanned over her, appreciating the fine art that stood beside him, crying out for attention. With a small smirk, “Hey,” That was all that was needed.

Pushing her up against the bedroom wall, his bedroom wall, Cooper’s hands roamed her body frantically. The very touch of her scorching body against his, sent waves of pleasure through him. What the hell was he doing? Especially in his own home? Coop was well aware Piper usually took Clay to visit her mother’s on Thursday’s, so why not use that time productively? Growling hungrily against her neck, his lips moved to her shoulder blade and to her bra strap, pushing it down with his teeth. He was having way too much fun.

So much fun, he was completely oblivious to the bedroom door being pushed open…

Charades, the game her mother and son where playing seemed to describer Piper's life so well. Her whole life lately was a charade. Day after day, putting on a face as if everything is alright, as if her marriage was strong, and her husband returned home every day after work like he should. When in all reality, it seemed to be falling apart. Everything. Her life, her marriage, everything. Piper's had given her heart away to a man who now, she doubted even loved her. A man whom she was madly in love with, but it was started to seem like he didn't even want to be with her.

Coop didn't wear his ring, hardly ever, she didn't even know if he still owned it, while hers stayed perched on her finger, at all times of the day. He stayed out doing who knows what, with who knows with, while she stayed at home, cooking a nice dinner, keeping the house clean, regardless if he even came home wanting it. It was her job right? As his wife? As the woman who loved him, so much so that she was staying with him regardless the thoughts she had about him cheating... Piper didn't know, and she didn't even want to think about it.

Her life seemed to turn so abnormal lately, the only normal thing that was in her life was Clay. Her three, wait, Hers and Coops three year old son. Who in all reality seemed to be the only good thing she had right now. The darked haired light eye boy, who seemed to always be in a good mood. Even win she stayed up late some nights with him, listening to the curious three year old questions. The same few being asked so much that it was actually quiet sad. Each, involving his father. Such as, why isn't daddy home tonight. When is daddy coming home. Does daddy still love me mommy. Each getting harder and harder to answer as the days past.

Staring down at her son, Piper nearly forgot where she was at, what time it was, everything just seemed to be put on pause as her thoughts roamed. It couldn't last though. Piper knew it, that and the fact that Clay had now climbed into her lap, resting his head on her shoulder, letting out a small yawn. With that sign, Piper knew it was time to go. Smiling, a very fake smile, she stood up kissing her mothers cheek. "I need to get him home, plus, I don't want Coop worrying about us." What a lie... Piper doubted the man even worried about them anymore, even if she sat around waiting until the late hours of the morning for him to return. Just to make sure he was alive. Damn she was hooked.

With a few words between her mother and herself, Piper apparated into Clay's over sized bedroom, well over sized for a three year old. Going over and sitting the little boy on his bed, pulling the covers up over him, tucking him in placing a light kiss on his head. "Mommy loves you Clay." The three year old yawned turning on his side, cuddling to his teddy bear. "Love you too mommy." he whispered before he was out.

Sitting there so caught up in the little boy, she hadn't even noticed her husband, and his new friend in the room down the hall. Not until she stood up walking out of the room, closing the door until there was only about a inch of space left. The noises of her husband's actions escaping down the hallway, feeling her ears. Before she could stop herself, her whole body had moved all the way to the end of the hall way, her hand pushing the door open to find a site that she never wanted to see.

Piper's whole expression changed. Her stomach felt as if it was doing flips, and she felt as if someone has ripped her heart out. Putting her hand over her mouth she just watched for the longest moment, letting the reality of it all set in. Her worse fear unfolding before her eyes. She didn't Even know what to do. Taking her right hand she slipped the diamond ring along with the wedding band off her finger. "Cooper." She said loudly. "Cooper, God dammit look at me!" She yelled, waiting a minute before throwing the ring in front of his feet. "I'm through."

With that, she couldn't take it anymore. Walking out of the room she closed the door. No slammed the door, walking a few feet before slumping down on the wall. "I think I am going to be sick." She muttered to herself, feeling the first of who knows how many tears rolling down her cheek

TELL ME THAT YOU'VE GOT EVERYTHING YOU WANT

BUT YOU DON'T GET ME, YOU DON'T GET ME

A cheetah couldn’t change its spots. Those words came from his father, who used the term to describe his mother, who apparently cheated more times than she’s actually breathed. However that was his father’s opinion, the man who was left to raise a young boy while his wife ran off with the gardener, who just happened to be his brother. Rather twisted and dysfunctional, right? However, if Cooper was going to blame someone for his cheating ways, it would definitely be his mother. No doubt about that.

When things went wrong, instead of turning to his wife and family like he should, he turned to alcohol and other women. The bad thing was, everything was wrong. There was things wrong with him and his fucked up life. It was hard to think that things could get better. Cooper was aware he had a beautiful wife, a son and with every bad move he made, they slipped further and further away from him. He tried to reach out and pull them in, but Cooper just wasn’t that guy. He wasn’t sure if he was ready to finally try.

Piper had her suspicions, women’s instincts kicked in and when she took notice that Coop rarely wore his ring, her suspicions became accusations. He was pretty sure his wife was on the verge of leaving his sorry ass, and if she did, he wouldn’t blame her. He was a sorry excuse for a man. But he was playing things close to the chest, if he was caught or gave anything about his infidelity away, he’d be heading for divorce. Piper wasn’t stupid, she was just in love. Coop realized it, he knew it by the way she touched him, the way she looked at him, he also knew she questioned his love for her.

Was he in love with his wife? Yes, Cooper still remained hooked to Piper. He just didn’t love his life. He frequently questioned himself, was this the life he chose? Was it the right path to walk on? At times he didn’t think so. But when he returned home on the rare occasion and laid his eyes on his son, he thought otherwise. Maybe he was selfish. There where men who would die to be in his position.

A familiar voice that broke the silence of the room pulled Coop back to reality. Pushing the woman away Cooper, looked at his wife frantically. Oh shit. “You’re married?” His new friend whispered once Piper ran out of the room. Rolling his brown eyes slightly, “Just get dressed and go home.” He mumbled while looking down at the wedding ring he had once purchased for his wife. With a small sigh, he quickly raced out of the bedroom and after his wife.

Seeing her look so torn up killed him. Kneeling down beside her, Coop reached out and wiped the tears that streamed down her cheeks. What could he say to her? Sorry, I didn’t know what I was doing? No, he wasn’t going to sound that stupid. Remaining silent, he just looked at Piper, he gazed at all the pain he had caused. Had he really broken the last straw? “I’m sorry,” At least that was a start. He realized she’d probably ask why, and that was when he’d be stuck for words, because even he had no idea why he did it.

So this is what dying felt like? As in your whole world crashing down around you, and you can't do a thing in the world to stop it. Your heart being ripped out of your chest with a single move, it was horrible. No, it was hell. Piper has fallen into her own personal hell just by seeing her husband with someone else. The husband she has loved for so long. The man she would have never thought about cheating on. Even when he would stay out so many nights, coming home drunk with the smell of someone else's perfume on his skin. Even then, she didn't try to think about him cheating.

Cheating just didn't see like it was an option to her. Not from her husband. Even though it was so obvious to her. So thrown right in front of her, and she just pushed it away. Denying that Cooper would ever do that too her. She thought he loved her, but apparently tonight she found out that all of that was a lie. The past few years of her life, she has been living with a man whom no longer loved her. That had to be it. That had to be the reason that he would go out of his way like this to just break her heart into for the first time in her entire life.

Piper was hurt, extremely hurt, and she didn't know what to do. One thing told her just to act like she didn't see anything. Act like everything is OK. Go lay in bed with her son and everything would be OK in the morning. Her husband would be back to normal, and she would be back to living in the relationship that has fallen apart between herself and Coop. That was one option, the option that was overpowering her mind at the moment. It would be the best thing for Clay. Clay was her main focus right now. She could continue to live this lie, this charade, if her son was happy. If he was just happy, here with both of his parents, oh the pains of being a mother.

The second option was telling her to kick his ass. Yell at him, cuss, show him how angry, now hurt she really was. That was the option that 99 percent of woman who where in her situation would do. Then again, Piper wasn't ninety nine percent of woman. She was the calm, loyal, loving housewife and mother that most men would kill to be married to. As much as she wanted to deny it, she was still married to the man, and even if he was not going to be loyal to her, till this day of finding out he is a cheat, she couldn't break her wedding vows. No, that just another thing in her mind that wasn't an option, nor would it ever be.

Sitting down on the ground, with the tears streaking her face. Piper found herself stuck between a rock and a hard place. Not knowing which road to take, which option to choice. All of that such a blur in her head. All she knew was she wanted to sit here and cry. Sit here and let all the pain and agony that she has been going through since that first night she found him not wearing his wedding ring. The first night he climbed in bed with the scent of another woman lingering on his body. All of that was pouring out right now. All the pain that has been built up inside of her for all these years has finally has an outlet.

Feeling the familiar hand on her cheek, she naturally snatched away looking up at him. Fighting every urge she might have to just let him hold her. Cry into his chest as she had many of times when she was all hormonal when she was pregnant. She couldn't cave like that. Even if she did love the man with every ounce of her heart, she was pissed at him. "Don't fucking touch me Cooper." She hissed sniffling as the blue eyed girl wiped away the rest of the tears. "I don't know where in the hell that hand has been. Who it has been on, because I know lately it sure as hell wasn't me." with that she stood up sniffling just a bit before recollecting herself.

With her eyes red and puffy she looked down at him, the pain clearly written all over her face. "How could you Cooper? How could you do this to me, to your son? I love you. I have done nothing but love you every since we have been married, and this is how you repay me. How are you going to explain this too Clay? Hmm? That little boy does nothing but look up to you. He tells all of his friends about his daddy, and how amazing he is. How he wants to grow up and be just like you. Now I am going to have to explain why me and him left daddy." she paused trying to hide the rest of the tears.

Her body getting closer to his. Her blue eyes locking down on the man. "How am I going to explain to him that his daddy decided that his mother wasn't good enough for him anymore. How he decided to go and sleep around with any woman he could get his hands on, and just leave his mother at home hoping that the man she loves is OK? Coop... Just how am I suppose to do that." She said feeling the tears start up again. "... I just don't see what I did wrong. What... What I did to push you away from the family. Do.. Do you not love me anymore. Is that it?" She asked softly. The pain in her voice seeping out with every word as the remaining tears poured down her cheeks.

TELL ME THAT YOU'VE GOT EVERYTHING YOU WANT
&& Y O U R B I R D C A N S I N G
BUT YOU DON'T GET ME, YOU DON'T GET ME

Their marriage revolved around lies and betrayal, all on Cooper’s behalf. The cracks had become increasingly bigger, harder to push together, harder to mend. Coop just didn’t have the ability, the mental capacity to work on things like this. He gave things one shot, and one shot only, if things didn’t work out the way he wanted them to then his immediate response would be to give up. He gave up too fast and too soon. What kind of influence would that make on his family, on his son? Coop didn’t want Clay to be like him, he didn’t want Clay to be anything like him. If he was, the kid was doomed from the beginning.

Cooper was well aware of the destruction he had caused, the live he led with Piper had been on a broken path. Where they really meant to be together? Was it the right choice to marry her, to start a family with her? He was pretty sure it wasn’t the right choice. Cooper loved Piper more than anyone, but he loved her so much he didn’t want her to be with him. He didn’t want to bring her down with him. She had so much potential, and she got stuck with a sorry-ass man like himself. Why would she ever choose to stay with him? Coop could only hope that she would leave and rebuild her life without him, she didn’t need him hurting her anymore.

No one deserved to be hurt like this, especially not his family. They deserved the best, things that Cooper couldn’t give them. Sure, he could buy the big mansion, buy Piper anything she wanted, give Clay whatever he asked for, but that just wasn’t enough. Piper deserved a husband who would be faithful, who would come home and lay next to her at night without the scent of another woman’s perfume clung to him. Clay needed a father who would teach him qudditch, who would be there before he went to bed and when he woke up. Cooper was positive they where the things he couldn’t give them. The essential things to happiness, to a happy family.

Cooper expected the beating of his life when Piper walked in on his drunken state, however he hadn’t received what he expected as of yet. He knew the chances of Piper being violent against him where small, incredibly small, she just wasn’t the violent type. Piper was a lot of things, beautiful, intelligent, loyal, the mother to his son, and the love of his life. Yes, Cooper did fuck around with other women, portraying this completely different person, acting as if he didn’t really care for his wife or child, but really, they where the reason for his existence, they where the reason he woke up every morning. He loved them whether they knew it or not.

As his hand was snatched away from her soft skin, a sigh escaped his lips. Looking at her through his brown eyes, he seen the pain, the hurt he had caused. The shame swept over him and he bowed his head in disgrace. How could he have done this. Why had he committed such a crime? “Look, I don’t know what I was doing in there, I’ve just been drinking to much lately…” He trailed off, knowing his excuse was as pathetic as he was. This was shameful. He was definitely a failure.

Now it was Cooper’s turn to lean, slumped against the wall, looking up at her. Trailing a hand through his scruffy brown hair, Coop was speechless. Here he was, being left behind. The love of his life planned on leaving and not coming back, and despite how much Cooper thought she deserved the chance to leave, to find a new guy who would treat her right, who would give her what she yearned for, Coop would be selfish and hope she wouldn’t leave, she would love him enough to give him a second chance. “Please Piper, give me the benefit of the doubt. I love you, I want to be with you, I want you to give me the chance to be that better person.”

Cooper finally took his stand, now he was looking down at her as she spoke. She asked him did he not love her anymore, and Cooper finally found he was stuck. “There are days when I wake up asking if I still love my wife, my family, and I tell myself, not today. But then there are days when all I want to do is be with you, to be with my family. I know I haven’t appreciated you the way you deserve to be appreciated. I don’t realize how good I’ve got it. I know one thing though, I love you, I want to be with you. I want to finally try to be the man you deserve. Please Piper, please give me that chance. I want you, only you.” Coop looked at his wife, he wanted to wipe away those tears of pain, he just needed a signal, one that would tell him that everything would turn out okay, that there would no longer be any pain caused.

It was insane how one person could build you up and at the same exact time break you down. Yes it was true that there was probably someone better out there, someone who would come home each night and cuddle next to her. Tell her how beautiful she was, how much they loved her, but Piper didn’t want that. No, she didn’t want it just because she knew with that it meant she had to leave Cooper. Coop was her life, no matter how much at this point she hated him. He might be that guy who went out and drank, who came home wasted, if he even came how, but deep down she wanted to believe he loved her. TO be honest she does believe he does, even if right now all she can do is tell herself he doesn’t.

There wasn’t a good enough reason in her book to why he would cheat. There was no good reason to why he would want to go out and waist his life away when he had a loving wife and son at home. No there was no reason on this earth to why she believed he would do it. She knew it wasn’t because she wasn’t good to him. Piper knew that it wasn’t because she didn’t do everything he asked, and she most defiantly knew that it wasn’t because he thought she didn’t love him. Piper told him nearly every time she saw him how much she loved him, just in hope that he would see it, and that he would just stay home for the night, but with each attempt it just didn’t work.

Maybe it was a sign? Maybe it was a sign that she needed to get up and leave him, but she couldn’t. She wouldn’t. She couldn’t live without him. She would wait night after night for him to get home just because she knows that she sleeps so much better with him lying beside her. Damns he loved this man, and here he was throwing it all down the toilet because he was too sorry to keep his dick in his pants. Was he a sorry man, Piper didn’t believe it. He was sorry in the since that he was willing to throw his whole relationship away for a few fun nights with a random whore, but not in the sense that he was completely useless. She wouldn’t believe that, nor would she ever.

With her face streaked with tears, her blue eyes didn’t want to lock on his, knowing if she did all her thoughts of being angry would be down the drain. He would give her that look that made her melt, and she would be once again tightly wrapped around his finger. She couldn’t have that, no and it’s why her back was now turned to him as he talked. Her hands constantly wiping away new tears, knowing there was no way she could stop because the only person who could comfort her was the one that was causing her so much pain.

“Look, I don’t know what I was doing in there, I’ve just been drinking too much lately” Oh wasn’t that the truth. Night after night he would leave and drink, when he should be at home with his son, with his wife. Shaking her head she just forced herself to turn around and look at him as he slouched down on the wall. “That’s sure as hell right Coop. You have been drinking too much lately. You’ve been doing a lot of things to much lately. Like staying gone, not letting me know you love me. Not letting your son know that you love him. I… I just want you to be home Coop, I have always just wanted us to be a family, and now we can’t… Because, because you seem to just not want us anymore.” Her voice breaking half way through once again as she found fresh tears spreading the bit of mascara down her cheeks.

“Please Piper; give me the benefit of the doubt. I love you, I want to be with you, and I want you to give me the chance to be that better person.” A better person? Hell that’s all he could be! He couldn’t get any worse in her eyes, no, he really couldn’t. But just the words of him loving her leaving his lips caused her stomach to flutter with the same feeling she had when they first met. Damn this man! How could he just change everything she has ever thought with a few words, and words he might not even mean? This wasn’t right, no; she needed to be mad, she needed to show him how she felt, but that was impossible. She loved him too much, and as much as she wanted to get Clay and leave, she couldn’t just because of how much she did loved him.

Before she could talk though, that same man was in front of her, inches from her just talking. Speaking words that hurt so deep he couldn’t even imagine, but he couldn’t just do that. He couldn’t just give her the chance to turn around and leave, that wasn’t who he was, he wouldn’t just let her leave and Piper knew that. “… I know I haven’t appreciated you the way you deserve to be appreciated. I don’t realize how good I’ve got it. I know one thing though, I love you, and I want to be with you. I want to finally try to be the man you deserve. Please Piper, please give me that chance. I want you, only you.”

“You sure as hell haven’t.” She said with a few sniffles as she and her five foot five self said looking up at him. “You haven’t appreciated a lot of things lately and… “She cut herself off sniffling a bit as she just let the fresh tears continue to streak her face. “I… I just want to be with you too Coop. I love you so much... I’ve always loved you… And... I... I just don’t know.” She stated, but before she knew it she found herself leaning forward, leaning her body against his her face on his chest as she just cried. “I just want you… I want us back Cooper.”

TELL ME THAT YOU'VE GOT EVERYTHING YOU WANT
&& Y O U R B I R D C A N S I N G
BUT YOU DON'T GET ME, YOU DON'T GET ME

There was so much to say in such little time. The one woman who understood him, who took the bad with good, was on the verge of packing her bags and leaving. If he wasn’t so selfish he would have stood by and watched her pack, probably help her with her things, and waved goodbye. Piper deserved the chance to live a better life, to take their son and start again, rebuild their happiness and find a new love, a better man that Cooper could ever compare to. Problem was, Cooper was selfish, although his mind was telling him to let her leave, his heart was screaming otherwise. People are lucky to find love, but to let it go and find it again was incredibly rare, Cooper wasn’t that lucky, he was lucky enough to catch love the first time around and now, as realization dawned on him, he wasn’t prepared to let his wife leave.

When his own mother walked out, it left Cooper scarred. It had been him and his father left to pick up the pieces that had been left behind, and he had witnessed the hurt and destruction his own mother had caused by giving up and walking out. It had been the true reason for Cooper being so cut off from the world, for building that wall around his heart, and hurting the ones who threatened to tear down his exterior. People like Piper and Clay had always been a threat, they constantly tugged on his heart strings, revealing the weaker side of him, the one he couldn’t show. If he let his guard down for a slim second everything could fall apart, but the longer he stood there, it dawned on him that it wasn’t letting his guard down that was breaking his marriage, but for keeping the guard up.

Maybe it was a sign? Maybe it was a sign that she needed to get up and leave him, but she couldn’t. She wouldn’t. She couldn’t live without him. She would wait night after night for him to get home just because she knows that she sleeps so much better with him lying beside her. Damns he loved this man, and here he was throwing it all down the toilet because he was too sorry to keep his dick in his pants. Was he a sorry man, Piper didn’t believe it. He was sorry in the since that he was willing to throw his whole relationship away for a few fun nights with a random whore, but not in the sense that he was completely useless. She wouldn’t believe that, nor would she ever.

Before everything fell apart, before Hogwarts, Cooper had always been enthusiastic about life and every aspect of it. At the age of five he wanted to be like Albus Dumbledore, by seven he wanted to be the Minster of Magic, and after his mother left, he wanted to be like Tom Riddle. Scary how the tiniest thing could change someone so drastically. There had been a time when Coop wanted, not just one child, but twelve, and when he believed in love and marriage, and all things pure. Nothing in the world was pure, he had learned that the hard way. The hard way had changed him into a hard man, a cold and heartless man. One who no longer wanted children or marriage, who thought power was everything, who though infidelity was acceptable.

For Piper and Clay, Cooper would change. It wouldn’t be easy, but he was hoping this situation was a turn of events. This would give him a reason to work harder, be a better husband and father, and he knew that it would only bring him happiness. All he wanted was to be there when his son grew up, to tell Piper he loved her and how beautiful she looked everyday, to have more kids and watch them grew up, and fall, just so he could pick them back up again. There was a lot of things he wanted, he wanted Piper to stay and help he be the man he was supposed to be.

Cooper looked at her, his brown eyes staring into her blue ones, the pain reflecting of them. This is what he had caused, this unnecessary hurt and pain, emotions that he hadn’t wanted Piper to feel when she was with him. These days, it was the only emotions she seemed to be feeling. “I will stop it all for you Piper. I will stop the drinking, stop the late nights, stop being the man I’ve been for quite some time, I’ll even stop working for awhile just to spend more time with you. I want to make up for the time that I have wasted. When I married you, I planned on spending the rest of my life with you, I wanted us to grow old together, watch our grandchildren grow up. I still want that Piper.” His words where genuine as he reached out once again and wiped away the fresh tears and running mascara.

Had he really caused so much destruction that it was too late to fix the broken path in his life. Coop didn’t want to believe this was it. His wife and child where the only things he had to life for, and no, he hadn’t been living the right way, but in light of current events, he was determined to change that. Cooper wanted to fix his relationship with his wife, hell, he wanted to marry her again, he wanted to teach his son qudditch and let him know his father loved him, he wanted to have more kids and make them happy too. He wanted the things he loved most to be happy, he wanted to make them happy. And he was aware that he wasn’t doing such a good job right now, but that was why he needed Piper, to help him change that.

Cooper had seen men change all the time. When a doctor tells a patient they’re at risk of a heart attack, they change their lifestyle, immediately. When a wife tells her husband she’s leaving, they do anything to stop her. Anything was exactly what Cooper was willing to do, and if that meant change his personality, looks, life-style, he would. If she left, what was his point in living, what did he have to life for? Coop could only imagine him as the low-life men, who lay around on their ass’ all day and pile on pounds everyday. He couldn’t watch his life become that, even he was better than that.


It had always amused him having to look down at her five foot five self as he stood at six foot two self, but this was no laughing matter. Automatically, Cooper’s arms slipped around Piper as she crashed her body against his and buried her face in his chest. “I’m sorry for putting you through all this hurt and pain. You don’t deserve this Piper. The woman I love deserves only the best and that’s what I want to give you. I love you Piper and I want to try this all over again. You deserve a better husband, a better marriage. Start over and marry me again.” Coop whispered in her hair and his fingers tangled through her blonde locks. To take a step forward, he needed to take a step back first.

How could you love someone so much that it makes them the only person that can hurt you. How can you love someone so much that they end up being the only one who can fix you as well? Was it insane of Piper to be standing here sulking into her husband’s chest, letting her tears run down his skin as she just cried. Cried tears that none other than this same man just caused moments earlier? Maybe she was losing it, but then again right now Piper didn’t care. All she wanted was to be happy again. To be like she was the first few years of their marriage, that’s what she wanted. Even if it meant giving the man who has put her through so much pain in just the last few hours, maybe just maybe she was insane but she really didn’t care.

Gripping onto his back as her face stayed buried in his chest she just listened to him. “I will stop it all for you Piper. I will stop the drinking, stop the late nights, stop being the man I’ve been for quite some time, I’ll even stop working for awhile just to spend more time with you. I want to make up for the time that I have wasted. When I married you, I planned on spending the rest of my life with you, I wanted us to grow old together, watch our grandchildren grow up. I still want that Piper.” Listened and cried. Here he was standing there telling her all of this but all she could think about is if he wanted this, he would have already been putting this into affect, not going around and screwing any woman he ran across..

Why wasn’t she good enough? If he loved her why did he go out time after time to find someone else to sleep with, someone else to please him when she was at home wanting to do nothing more but just that. Nothing more than just to please him. Was she not good enough anymore. Did he not want her anymore was that it, but that couldn’t be right could it? All he was talking about was how much he loved her how much he wanted another chance. If that was so, then still, did he have a decent reason for what he did. Did he have a decent reason for doing this to her? But a better question is, did she want that answer?

Piper wasn’t sure if she wanted to put herself in the situation to be hurt yet again by the pain of the answer that he might give her. She couldn’t handle that. It was taking every ounce of strength she had at this moment to just break down, hit him grabbed her son and leave. He had hurt her deeper than anyone in her entire life ever has. Cooper, regardless if he loved her or not, took a stake and jabbed it right in her chest just as if she was a vampire and he was trying to end her life. Twisting that stake over and over ripping out the heart that she would have giving him willingly. Why couldn't that be enough, no better question why couldn't he just take it. Stop fooling around and stay with her. The one woman who loved him no matter what.

Maybe Piper was asking to much by just wanting her husband to be home. Wanting to hear that she was beautiful, that he loved her, that he loved her son. Was that to much to ask? not in her eyes at least. Isn't that something that you are suppose to get from your husband, the man who promised to cherish and love you as long as you both shall live. So why was it seeming like it was impossible for him to do that. Was it because of Clay. Did cooper not want to be a father, defiantly seeing as most of their problems, family wise started after the baby was born. Could that be the problem. Could the son that she had always wanted be the reason their marriage was falling apart. If it was.... why didn't he just tell her? Or maybe it was just since then... He just didn't want her anymore. Maybe her body wasn't what it used to be. But isn't the truth more along the lines of she shouldn't be blaming herself. Even if that was the case, standing here in his arms, all Piper Marie Delancy could do was blame herself for her failing marriage... No matter how many sweet, loving things he was stating before her.

Cuddling into his chest, Piper rubbed his back as she just fit so perfectly into his arms. This was one thing she had always loved. Maybe it was small and insignificant, but every since they first met she was fascinated to how she seemed to just fit into his arms. How when she placed her hand on his and intertwined their fingers hers seemed to fit perfectly in between the spaces of his own. It was nothing special, but to her little things like that meant the world to her. I’m sorry for putting you through all this hurt and pain. You don’t deserve this Piper. The woman I love deserves only the best and that’s what I want to give you. I love you Piper and I want to try this all over again. You deserve a better husband, a better marriage. Start over and marry me again.”

Her heart that had been beating ninety to nothing since seeing him making out, and stripping down another woman just seemed to pause. Her tears seemed to come to a halt, and her head just perked up from where it was on his chest. Letting her blue eyes lock on his she just scanned his eyes for anything that might say that the man didn't mean it, but as deep as she looked, all she could find was sincerity. He wanted to remarry her. He wanted to give things a fresh start, and that was all she wanted to do. All she had wanted to do for a while now, was start over with him. Start clean. And now, here was a chance. Even if her mind wanted to hate him, her heart wanted to leave him, but at the same time wanted to love him, she was happy. Deep down underneath her mascara streaked face her puffy eyes, and saddened expression this is what she wanted. This was her escape, her start over, and if he was willing to try she was too.

Sniffling and wiping her eyes a few times, her hand rested lightly on his cheek as she just looked at him for the longest moment. "I love you Cooper. I love you more than anything in this world. You and Clay... you two are my life. Lately... I didn't know if you even still loved me, hell I didn't think you could stand to look at me and all i wanted to do was make things better and I never got the chance because everything I tried didn't seem to work. You still didn't come home... You still didn't come in and lay next to me at nights... It killed me Cooper it has been killing me for the longest time and I didn't think you could even tell." She took a pause dropping her hand and looking him up and down before locking her eyes on him. "I would love for you to take off of work... Stay home with me and your son. Show us that you can be a better man. Show me that you can be a better man and if you can. I wont leave, I wont take our son, and I will stay with you. So... I will marry you again, but... Not super soon. Can we... just take it a bit slower for a bit, well the remarrying part... Just... I don't want you to tear apart my heart, again." her voice was soft as she leaned up on her tippy toes kissing him very softly before stepping away. "I love you Cooper... I'm just, I'm scared I am going to get hurt again, and I could handle it, but I am, I don't want to put our son through that."
