Mallory's Outfit||Cooper
Intro for: mac
Mallory never once thought she would ever set foot on the Metric campus again. For ten years she’d been avoiding the place and all the memories it held. Sure, she had her good times at Metric but there were also so many painful memories there she just couldn’t pull herself to face. Salem, California was where she had her heart broken. She’d never known a hurt as deep as what she’d felt when Chad dropped her from his life. To be tossed aside as if all they had together had been nothing made her feel useless. He may not have returned her feelings, but Mallory knew she’d loved him.
After he left, Mal drowned her sorrows in alcohol, that was, until she found out she was pregnant. She tried to contact Chad but he’d changed his number and no one she tried to call would give her his new number. That was the final nail in the coffin of their relationship. He’d completely blocked her out. Mallory considered the options of adoption or abortion but she couldn’t go through with it…not when all she could imagine when she thought about the baby was Chad. Gracie helped her as much as he could throughout the pregnancy. He was much more of a father than the boy’s actually father would ever be.
Her son was seven-years-old now and an exact copy of his father. All Mallory could see when she looked into Cooper’s eyes was Chad. It hurt at times to look at the little boy, but Mal loved him more than life itself. She’d done all she could to provide for him. Being a single mother was tough, especially with her film career just taking off, but she brought her son with her wherever she went. Gracie popped in every now and then which was always a pleasant surprise.
It was on one of these occasions Gracie stopped by with an invite to the ten-year reunion at Metric. Mallory immediately declined but after he assured her there was no way Chad would actually be there she finally agreed.
The sign indicating they’d entered Salem made Mallory’s stomach turn. She’d made the drive alone with Cooper in the backseat. Gracie assured her he’d meet her there which made her all the more nervous. What if he didn’t show? At least then she’d have a good excuse to leave early. Mal glanced at the rearview mirror to her sleeping son in the backseat. He’d miraculously stayed up the entire flight to California but immediately crashed as soon as they got into the rental car.
Mal pulled into one of the parking spaces and took a deep breath. There was no turning back now. She grabbed he purse then opened the back door and brushed a few strands of blond hair from Cooper’s face.
”Rise and shine, kiddo, we’re here,” she cooed softly, smiling when her son opened his big blue eyes and groggily smiled up at her.
”Is there food? I’m hungry,” Cooper muttered as his mother unbuckled him. Mal helped him out of the car then took his hand and led the way toward the festivities.
”Of course there’s food. Let’s go find some!” Mallory replied as the two made their way over to the food tent.
