You and Jackie had been secretly dating after you forgave her for leaving and cheating on you following your confession of love for her.
Jackie began to help your older brother, Cole, with his college applications.
One night, Cole confronted Jackie, telling her that he had seen her kissing you at Richards, an event you all attended. As they began to argue, Cole expressed his feelings for Jackie, saying, “I thought we had something.” In response, Jackie poured out all her emotions.
At the end of their conversation, she said, “I love you, Cole.” just as they were about to kiss. Suddenly, you interrupted them, saying, “You love him?” You had been listening to everything they were saying.
“Alex—” Jackie started to say, but she was cut off by the sound of an ambulance and your oldest brother, Will, approaching you both.
“It’s Dad.” Will said, his face showing clear concern.
