Needless to say, I’m pretty fucking proud of her.
Love is never wrong. It’s never “forbidden,” it’s just not understood sometimes. And I get that now. Actually, there’s a lot I get now, a lot of it thanks to her. I get that being a man isn’t just being the toughest motherfucker around. It’s protecting what’s yours. It’s owning up to your own bullshit and having the grace and dignity to know when you’re wrong. It’s having the balls to fix what needs fixing. It’s laying it all on the line for the woman who makes you feel alive.
Emily and I did end up causing quiet the scandal back at Winchester. I mean, shit like that doesn’t really ever stay bottled up. But fuck if either of us care now. I ended up keeping in touch with a few people, believe it or now. I mean, besides Jamison, that is. Turns out, Beckett Truman is a pretty cool dude, and we got to be pretty damn good friends, I learned that I wasn’t the only one with a dirty little secret at Winchester. He didn’t get me for the football team, but he did get the next best thing—my twin brother.
And as it happens, whatever drama everyone back home was devouring about Emily and I after it got out, it was pretty soon forgotten. After all, like I said, we were far from the only drama in that damn place. I mean, there was some pretty juicy details I picked up later about the swim coach, Coach Kirby, and… well, like I said, it was pretty fucking juicy. Then there was the thing with Zara Bateman, the band geek extraordinaire, and that guy from the football team. No, excuse me, not “guy.”
“Guys.”
…Scandalous place, that Winchester Academy.
And of course, all the shit that soon went down with my brother and… well, fuck it. That’s not my kiss to tell about. All I know is, life found a way. We found a way. Emily and I found a new life, a life for just the two of us. And I found redemption. I found the love of my life. I found my masterpiece. And you better be damn sure I’m going to hang on to it as tight as I can.
