CONRAD

It was late evening the next day. Jeremiah and Y/N had been inseparable all day, laying down in Jeremiah's room currently watching some kind of movie. Belly was on the couch and I was laying in my room contemplating about yesterday night.

Okay so maybe I did tell mom that Jeremiah needed his laundry immediately because I couldn't bare the thought of Jeremiah getting with her, not after that glance he shot me in the hallway. Almost like a "you wish this was you" glance or a "I won".

She had caught me earlier yesterday morning with some girl from the beach. She didn't mean anything to me but using her to make Y/N jealous may be worth it. I saw the look on her face, she was jealous.

Even after mom went back downstairs and I moved away from the doorframe they closed the door again. You're kidding. I blocked it out of my mind for now. I needed a drink.

I shook my head heading downstairs into the kitchen where Steven was.

"Bro, do you maybe wanna head to a party or something? I think Jakes having one" I say.

"Uh sure. We just can't stay too late you know? I've got work in the morning and so does Jere." Steven says getting out of his seat to stretch.

"Who says Jere is coming?" I say rudely and Steven looks at me.

"Why wouldn't he?" He asks

"I don't know he seemed pretty busy with your sister before" I say half rolling my eyes.

"I'll just go grab him. Maybe she'll want to come too" Steven shrugs his shoulders.

"No, guys only" I say sternly.

"Dude what is your deal? Y/N hasn't done anything wrong, it's only like her third day here stop being such a dick" Steven grabs his car keys running up the stairs. I no longer wanted to party.

Jeremiah came down a few minutes later with Steven, his hair messy and visible hickey on his neck. I was jealous.

I sighed. "Your girlfriend doesn't wanna come?"

"Steven said guys only" he shrugged "I've always respected that rule"

I rolled my shoulders and went towards the car outside followed by Jere and Steven.

Once we arrived at the party I chugged a beer. I needed to find someone to help me forget.

Y/N

As soon as the guys left I ran downstairs to find Belly on the couch.

"Do you wanna go to a party?" I asked.

"Uhm yes of course! I'd just have to get ready" she says.

"Me too" I say.

So the guys wanted a "guys night" who said the girls couldn't have one that just happen to be at the same party.

Once we were all dressed up I drove us there, parking across the street from Jeremiah's red Jeep.

My dress was so short I had to keep pulling it down while Belly's showed off more cleavage then our mom ever would have allowed.

"Where did you even get that?" I asked.

"Taylor!" She responded trying to pull it up more.

I laughed as we walked in.

Belly tapped me right away pointing in the direction of a boy wearing a stripped shirt with curly hair.

"That's Cameron!" She says to me pulling me in his direction. I giggle as we walk up to greet him.

"Cameron! This is my sister Y/N!" She says introducing me.

"Hi Cameron, I've heard lots about you!" I say smiling "all good things of course"

"I can say the same for you as well" he smiles pulling belly into a hug. I smile widely at them.

"Cam is coming to the Fourth of July party" Belly says.

"Ah yes of course! It's really nice, Susannah always does a wonderful job at decorating" I say nodding.

I wave and then leave them alone, heading anywhere to find a drink. Once I do, I pop open the white claw and walk around.

"Hey hot stuff!" I hear a guy from behind me. I turn around and see Jack, I knew him from the grocery store downtown and beach parties. I'd consider us friends as we both had come to cousins during the summers since we were kids.

He had golden hair and blue eyes, yet looked very different from Jeremiah. He had beauty marks scattered across his face. He played hockey, I remember him telling me that at a beach bash one summer.

"Hey Jack!" I say going up to give him a hug then taking another sip of my drink. "How have you been?"

"Fine, you didn't come to the grocery store with your mom, Steven and Belly when you first arrived!" He said still holding onto my waist.

"Oh man I missed it! I drove up separately this year, I had an extra final to take" I explained.

"Ohh I see. Well you were very missed" he says. "You look amazing by the way"

I blush and giggle as he spins me around. "Do you wanna dance?"

I smile at him. "Of course! Let me just grab another drink"

I walk over to a counter downing the rest of my black Cherry white claw and grabbing another to drink, half of it gone. I drink the other half then grab one more. Third of the night. Starting to feel a little tipsy.

I walk back over to Jack who leads me into the crowd of people dancing.

I dance alone slightly for a few minutes then Jack grabs my waist pulling me into him and I wrap my arms around his neck.

"You got a boyfriend?" He asks me. Jeremiah. Jeremiah is basically my boyfriend.

"Nothing official" I say laughing. I need to get out of here before I do something stupid. "You got a girlfriend?"

"Nah" he says kissing me. I kiss back.

He picks me up and I wrap my legs around his waist as he carries us down into the basement where he lays me down on a couch as we continue to make out, not taking any of our surroundings into consideration.

"Hey, uh I don't think we should really go any further then this" I say as he is attempting to tug at my shirt.

"Oh yeah of course that's fine" he says nodding.

We both sit up and I climb onto his lap kissing him more. I didn't care about anything or anyone else right now.

"Do you wanna come to the Fourth of July party at the Fishers?" I ask kissing his jawline.

"Mmm" he responds holding the back of my neck.

"Uh Y/N" I hear Bellys voice.

I stop kissing Jack quickly and look at her. "Hey"

"Uhm I'm ready to go and it looks like you probably should too" she says glaring at Jack.

"Do you need a ride home?" He asks me running his thumb over my lip.

"I'm driving her. Say your goodnights you both are done" she says grabbing me as I kiss Jack again.

Once we're out of the house and in the car she screams at me.

"WHAT WERE YOU THINKING? YOU ARE SO LUCKY JEREMIAH DIDN'T SEE YOU!" she pulls out of the house and towards the beach house.

"What?" I rub my head. "I'm not dating Jeremiah"

"Oh so you're just playing with his feelings?" She gets annoyed.

I sigh as we pull into the driveway and she slams the car door walking in quickly.

I slowly take my time and once I get into the kitchen Conrad is the only other person sitting there.

"Fun night?" He asks me taking a sip of beer.

"I know you sent Susannah up yesterday" I say annoyed. "Leave Jeremiah and I alone. I'm not gonna sit here and have a miserable summer because of your sorry ass"

"Observant aren't you? Every little thing revolves around you" he slurs "I think the bleach leaked into your brain"

"Fuck you Conrad" I say storming up the stairs.
