Prologue

Summer

GROWING UP MY life was anything but easy. I had loving parents and an amazing older brother, Calvin, who I absolutely adored. The two men in my life were my heroes for extremely different reasons. I loved my father because when he was home, we had his absolute attention. There wasn’t a single thing he did without my brother, mother, and me. For those few days or weeks, if we were lucky, our family was whole. At the same time, my brother was my entire universe when our dad wasn’t home. He made sure no one fucked with me at school, I had people to hang out with, and he spent time helping me learn any new thing I wanted to. Including fighting and how to use guns.

My father was in the military, so we spent most of my life moving from one new place to another as we followed him around for his career. Our mother was a tremendous woman. She took care of the house, did anything she could to help other military wives, was a support for anyone who lost a loved one while they were serving, and showed up to each and every event Cal and I had at school. Every game, play, or any award ceremony we had our mom was in the crowd. My dad was when he was home, but the military was his other love, and he had no plans to leave it. That’s not why my childhood was hard.

The constant moving around as we followed my father made it impossible to make close friends or learn how to let anyone in. That’s why Cal was my best friend in the world. He was the one constant in my life aside from our mom. I craved a friendship with another female though. Someone I could talk to about boys, learn how to do make-up, and anything else a girl would need or want during her teenage years. That never happened. Not until I reached college.

I was the polar opposite of my big brother. Cal was tall, over six foot tall by the time he was seventeen. He had the same thick, dark hair as our dad along with the dark brown eyes lined by thick dark lashes any woman would kill for. His skin was always tan from being outside as much as possible. The piercings in his ears, lip, and nipples, along with the bad boy aura didn’t hinder him in the least either. It only made the girls flock to him in larger numbers. Yes, our mom signed off for him to get the piercings. It was something Cal wanted, and she made it happen. She drew the line at a tattoo though.

Cal’s outgoing personality was what kept the large crowds of people around him. His sweetness, bad boy aura, and his giving nature are what drew others to him. Cal made it seem as if he could care less about anything going on around him, but he was always the first to step in whenever anyone needed help. So, he was always surrounded by people and I got shoved to the background by most of them. No one wanted his little sister around for long periods of time. I wasn’t someone they wanted to hang out with because I was shy and awkward.

While he was popular and made friends no matter where we were or who was around, I did not. I was shy and withdrawn. It was hard for me to make friends anyway. Add in being shy and not knowing how to make friends easily, I can count on one hand the number of girls I talked to in school. Turns out, they
