Song: Tribulation by Matt Meason

•Cole's POV
"Lainey I am so sorry I really don't want you to go." I sat on her bed.
"Cole, I get it I know your dad is a complete asshole, but he's just going to keep asking." She was looking in the mirror deciding what shirt to wear.
"Asshole isn't the half of it, we can just say we broke up."
"Cole, relax whatever happens won't affect our relationship, besides I may give you a present later." She sat on my lap.
"We'll see if I'm in the mood to cry or not."
"Oh Cole." She hugged me and placed a slow kiss on my neck.
She placed another one below that one.
I grabbed her face and moved her lips on mine instead.
"Hey, Lainey?" Her mom called out from the hallway.
I pushed her off of me and threw on her tee shirt she was wearing before.
"Hey mom. What's up?"
"Me and your father are going out tonight. Be safe." She opened the door.
"Okay mom I'm having dinner at Coles."
"Okay bye!" She left.
Lainey closed the door and took off her shirt still trying to decide.
"Wear the white one."

She put on the white one and tucked it in her skirt

She put on the white one and tucked it in her skirt.
"Perfect!" She smiled.
"Let's go... to my death."
"Cole, it's okay." She kissed my cheek.
Lainey's POV
I walked in and the smell of cigarettes and beer hit me like a ton of bricks. Fuck Cole wasn't kidding.
"Hey their here!" His dad called out.
"Hello." He came out. "Who might this be Cole?"
"This is my girlfriend Lainey."
"Nice to meet you."
"You too." I smiled.
I noticed Cole was sweating and not because it was hot. We sat down at the table and Coles mom put down food. She had bruises on her arm and it looked like she was crying. I felt so bad that she has to deal with him.
"So Lainey, what brings you and my boy together?" He asked.
"We got talking and we just connected. He's just amazing." I smiled.
"Are you sure your talking about my boy?" He seemed serious.
"I can assure you that Cole is the best person anyone can meet, he is so talented and an incredible person."
"Huh, he hasn't showed you his dumb side then has he? What's two plus two Cole? He'll probably tell you it's Four what an idiot."
"Your the idiot, because the answer is four. You're just to drunk to know how amazing your son is."
"Your girlfriend is a bitch." He told Cole.
"Dad Get out before I call the cops." Cole said.
Everyone looked really shocked.
"Boy, I'll take you away from your mother right now!"
"You can discuss that with cops when we show them our bruises."
He threw a bowl at Cole head but he missed because he's so drunk.
He started screaming and grabbed Cole by the arm and started dragging him out.
"Let go!" He screamed.
I was paralyzed with fear I didn't know what to do.
There was a stern knocking at the door and everyone looked at it.
Cole's dad opened it and it was the cops.
"We got a call about yelling." The police officer said.
Cole's mom was crying in the back and Cole's dad still had Cole in a arm lock.
"Sir can you put your hands behind your back."
He did as he was told and he was taken into custody.
My jaw was still on the floor, what just happened.
We all stood silent as we all just process what just happened.
"I-I..." Cole tried to get out.

Travis's POV
I hope Cole and Lainey are fine because of his dad. I met him once and oh my he was terrible.
"Iris, how are the Balloons going?" I asked.
"Good, just a couple more."
We were getting ready for tomorrow night. It was Lainey's surprise birthday party. Woo. I can already tell she's going to hate it. Cole told me that she just wanted to be with him for the night.
"Do you think she'll like it?" She asked.
"...yeah!" I said.
"You delayed!"
"No I didn't!" I said.
"Yes you did! Tell me right now."
"Don't you think that Lainey would just appreciate a relaxed night with Cole?"
"No! We've never not celebrated her birthday together."
"Okay." I put my hands up.
She continued to set up and she tried baking earlier and almost set the house on fire.
We don't let her touch the stove anymore.
"Hey babe what temperature do I put these on?" I heard her from the kitchen.
"Let me do the cooking!" I ran to the kitchen.
"I can do it."
"Really? Is that what the cookies from earlier thought?"
"I forgot about then in the oven, kill me know." She giggled.

Cole's POV
Lainey and I have been super quiet. We laid on my bed in silence.
"Did you see last weeks episode?"
"Of?"
"I don't know pick one."
"No haven't." We stared at the ceiling.
Another few minutes went by.
"I can't with this." I sat up.
"Cole. I don't know what to say."
"You said my dad wouldn't effect us."
"That was before I Met him."
"Come on Lainey." I slammed my back on the bed.
"I feel like I don't know you." She laid next to me, "you haven't told me about your dad at all."
"Tell me something you've been keeping from me first."
"...you were my first kiss."
I shot up, "what?"
"Yeah I didn't want to tell you only because I was afraid you would break up with me."
"Why would I do that?"
"Just the way you talked about it."
"I'm sorry, Lane."
"Your turn."
"I-i had this girlfriend before you, her name was Lori and she had depression and anxiety. Had a lot of... bad thoughts and one day she acted on those bad thoughts."
"Cole I'm so sorry."
"It's alright, it wasn't really a good relationship anyways."
"What do you mean."
"She would yell at me a lot and sometimes hit me."
"I'm sorry Cole."
"it's alright, you treat me like a King."
"You treat me like Queen."
"I love you Lainey."
"I love you too Cole."
We laid there with our fingers intertwined.
I was so lucky she is mine.
