Previously on Picture Perfect: before we could stop her she leaped forward and wrapped her arm around Casey's wrist pulling herself up onto the ledge "then if you are willing to destroy them, you take me with you. If you are willing to give up then you take me, if you are willing to give THEM up you take me with you, you take me away from OUR brothers, you take me away from my nieces and sisters, my best friends, you take me from my boyfriend. If you can deal with that guilt then jump, but you take me with you" she yelled "BELLA!" Cooper screamed from the top of the lookout, she turned to look at him briefly before turning back to Casey, I knew she was crying, I knew she was scared about what could happen but I hoped that she had gotten through to him. Then suddenly….

COOPER POV

I watched my heart in my throat as my girlfriend put her life on the line to save her brother, I was hoping with all my heart that he wouldn't take her from us. Suddenly Casey turned to Bella and collapsed into her sending her flying backwards onto the hard ground, Brax and Heath flew forwards kneeling down beside them. She was safe, I watched stunned as she held onto Case as he cried into her stomach, I could see she was crying. Charlie and I let go of Ruby and she raced forward through the rain towards Casey, she dropped to her knees, he looked up and wrapped his arms around her. Brax and Heath pulled Bella out from underneath Casey and kneeled down in front of her, Charlie had gone down to join them but I couldn't move, it was like me feet were glued to the ground. I watched, too scared to move as Bella slowly stood up aided by her brothers, she was in shock but she was still standing. She looked up at me and our eyes locked and my feet unfroze, I began to walk slowly towards her as she did the same, I pulled her into a hug when I reached her breathing in her perfume that was somewhat washed away by the rain "I'm sorry" she whispered "don't be" I said as I hugged her tightly.

BELLA POV

I could not believe what I had just done, it was a moment of not thinking and I put myself up there to die. I had died before but I was unaware of it, I hadn't faced it and waited for it to take me like tonight and it terrified me. I was cold and wet and in shock. I was in shock the whole drive home, once Casey was okay Heath called Bianca came to collect us. I walked through the front door and ran up to the bathroom where I was sick. I brushed my teeth as I stared at myself in the mirror, wet and scared, my hair in strings plastered to my skin, my clothes drenched and stuck to my body. I pulled the hair off my skin and fluffed it around before heading back downstairs. Everyone was all changed and dry, they were taking Casey to the hospital to get him checked out. I wasn't going, I decided to stay. They all left silently leaving Cooper and I alone, I grabbed his hand and pulled him up the stairs, I opened my bedroom door and he followed me in. I shut and locked it as I turned to face him "are you okay?" he asked sincerely, I nodded lightly, stepping forward and pulling him into a passionate kiss.

He responded instantly pulling me closer, I knew that this was what I wanted. It wasn't the shock it was me, this is what I need right now at this moment. I used my hand to pull him closer to me as I grabbed the hem of his wet shirt, pulling it over his head. We picked up the kiss just as passionately and intensely as before, Cooper pulled back and looked at me "are you sure you want to do this?" he asked gently, I looked at him for a second before pulling him closer "yes" I murmured as the kiss picked up again. He grabbed the bottom of my wet tank top and pulled it over my head leaving me in my bra and jeans, he put his hands on my waist pulling me closer as I started on his belt buckle. I pulled the belt out and chucked it on the floor as he popped the first button my jeans. It wasn't long before he managed to get the other button undone, I stepped out of them moving us backwards slightly as he lifted me gently off the ground, I wrapped my legs around his waist as he moved us over to the bed and lowered me down gently. I used my feet to push his jeans down before wrapping me legs back around his waist as we continued to kiss.

It was another ten minutes of kissing before we were both fully undressed. Butterflies flitted in my stomach as I realised what was about to happen but I knew that I had made the right decision, I moaned lightly as I felt him enter me, I lifted myself slightly meeting each of his movements not once breaking our intense kiss. It had been a while since I had done this but I knew that Cooper was the right guy to be doing this with, I smiled lightly at his gentleness. It was like he was scared he might break me which I thought was cute. He slowly started to move faster as his hands moved along my body, mine doing the same as I continued to meet his movements, out kiss had barely broken since we started, only stopping briefly to remove items of clothing or quickly catch our breath. I moaned lightly as Cooper continued to move, I knew that he understood that I needed this, that the only way he could comfort me was by doing this and it made me happy to know that he was willing to do anything for me even though I knew he worried I would regret it. I knew that wasn't going to happen, I was happy I had made this decision, this is exactly what I wanted and needed and I was positive I was never going to regret it. I smiled as he kissed my neck, he knew what he was doing and I loved that he took charge. I felt a familiar feeling in my stomach and knew what it was, I savoured the feelings knowing that soon this would be over, the stirrings in the pit of my stomach intensified as I got closer and closer to the edge, I was surprised that this was happening, I had only experienced this with a few guys, most weren't good enough to finish us both. I pulled him back to me gasping as I reached my peak, a few minutes later I felt his warmth inside me knowing he had released as well.

He went to move away but I held him close to me pressing out foreheads together, not wanting to be alone again, I loved how close we were and I loved the feelings he made me feel and I didn't want them to stop. I felt the day slowly catching up to me as my eyes drooped willing me to sleep, I felt Cooper move to my side and I was alone again, he pulled me close to him as I wrapped my arm around his waist, he kissed my forehead as I let my exhaustion take over my body and I drifted off to sleep.

BRAX POV

We had just signed the papers admitting Casey to the rehab that the doctors had referred us to. Casey knew he needed help and he didn't put up a fight when told he should go to a rehab clinic. I watched as Ruby and Casey said goodbye to each other, Ruby was still a mess from what had happened earlier but she knew this was the right thing to do, Casey kissed Charlie's cheek before hugging her goodbye, he repeated the action with Bianca and gently kissed Mckenzie's forehead before Heath pulled him into a hug, I hugged him as I watched the nurses lead him down the hall, we waved one last time before he was gone.

The day had been eventful and I was still a little on edge from seeing my brother and sister standing on a ledge not knowing if they would fall to their deaths. I knew Casey felt bad for having to put us in that situation and I knew he felt guilty that Bella had risked everything for him and he knew it. Charlie was shaken from what she had witnessed but she stayed strong. We arrived home to find the place quiet, I figured Bella was in her room so Charlie and I went to ours as did Ruby. I sat on the bed and Charlie sat next to me "you alright?" I asked he, she nodded on the verge of tears "it was just so scary seeing that today" she whispered "I know but it's okay now" I said as I pulled her into a hug as we both the emotions of today take over us, we broke down in each other arms, consoling each other.

RUBY POV

I couldn't believe how today had turned out, I had almost lost the man I loved and my best friend and it terrified me. I had already lost my daughter, I couldn't lose them too. I lay on my bed silently staring at the ceiling, not knowing what to do. I sat up and looked at the clock, it was just past 7pm so I decided to get an early night. I changed into my pj's and climbed into bed, thinking about the good that could come out of all of this.

EEK! I was so nervous writing this chapter, I had planned Bella and Cooper sleeping together in this chapter for a while but I had no idea how to write it, I read other fics and did the best I could so I hope it was alright. I know some of you wanted it to be fun and flirty but I wanted it to be more of Bella needing Cooper to comfort her and the only way he could do that was by… I wanted Bella to be vulnerable but at the same time she knew what she needed and knew that it was the right time to do it. I promise that there will be more fun and flirty parts of Bella and Cooper in coming chapters but for their first time I wanted it to be more about Bella needing Cooper to comfort her. Please review and tell me what you thought! Dannielle xoxo
