Prologue
Cooper Anderson was a very successful and well respected man.
He was in his early/late twenties, he graduated from NYFA, was a famous and rich actor, and lived in a beautiful apartment in Los Angeles.
He lived a very successful life. But why did his life feel so incomplete?
Cooper had enjoyed life after college very much. He liked his freedom and enjoyed his job, but after a few years, he was bored of it. He felt like he wasn't getting anything out of his life.
He tried changing the roles he accepted, working different hours, but nothing changed. Until his girlfriend told him about the Trevor Project.
His girlfriend, Jamie, was big into volunteer work. She helped out at local hospitals, animal shelters, hotlines of any kinds. It was normal for a new volunteer name to be mentioned every week. But the day she mentioned the Trevor Project, it was different.
"It's an amazing organization. It has hotlines for LGBT kids to call at all hours. The people taking the calls are trained volunteers who spend their time talking to the kids and helping them understand that even though life can be tuff at times, it gets better and that it will for them."
After Jamie left, Cooper couldn't stop thinking about it. He googled the organization and they sounded amazing. They helped so many and changed so many lives. He had always wanted to do something like this, especially after what happened to his little brother Blaine.
A few months later, Cooper was qualified and a part of the Trevor Project team.
And it was great.
Cooper loved the fact he got to help so many people everyday. He listened to their problems and he gave them advice to help them. There were those calls that didn't end well and nobody liked to have them. Cooper had only had a few and he tried not to think of them. But there were those nights, when he would have a drink and cry for them.
Even with that bad aspect, it didn't ruin the joy Cooper got. Especially when some of the callers contacted the organization not for help, but to give thanks.
Some of them would send emails addressed to 'Cooper', some would send letters, a few also sent gifts. They all send the same things 'Thank you so much.' 'You were so much help.' 'How can I ever repay you?' And these were what Cooper treasured the most. The assurance that those people's lives were changed and they were living their lives to the fullest.
Cooper loved it. Until he got one phone call that changed it all.
