Addison was sitting on the counter's kitchen with her mom and susie, as she looked through the window and saw Conrad and belly in the pool. She smiled to herself.
Belly came in and sat next to Addison.
Laurel- You are dripping water all over the living room.
Susie- Laur.- susie said and then proceeded to whisper.
Susie- You both have always been lovely, but, oh, honey look at you guys. Gorgeous! You're growing up. You're in bloom.
Susannah has a way of saying things that almost makes me believe her.
Susie- Laur, they are you all over.
Belly- people always say we look like our dad.
L- you should call your father and tell him you both got in safely.
Addison- Why don't you tell Steve to do it?
L- Because I am telling you guys. He misses you guys.
Belly- yeah, but he'll see us at the end of the summer.
L- he'll be here for the fourth.
Addison- wait he is coming here?

Addison entered her room, what she liked the most was that she got her own room and that it was just next to Jeremiah's .
She looked around, she loved how susie had redecorated it. It was just her style.
She started unpacking until someone came barging in her bed.
Addison- jeez, a little warning would be okey.
Jeremiah- come on, let's swim before dinner, please.
Addison- I'm not sure, I'm quite tired- she said she wasn't fully in the spirits.
Jer- what's wrong Adds?
Addy- what do you mean? nothing is wrong- she tried to fake it.
Jer- come on, I know you. Something is wrong, you would never say no to a belly flop or swimming. I've been wanting to go in the ocean all day, but I've been waiting for you to get here.
Addy- fine, I guess one swim won't hurt me.
Jer- yes!- Jeremiah cheered, he knew something was up with her but decided to let it go for know.
Jer- five minutes.
Addy- okey- she said half smiling.

Addison then came downstairs. Jeremiah was a little shocked, not used to her wearing two-pieces specially because the bottom part was basically a thong.
Jer- nice suit.
Addison-thanks- she said trying to ignore jere eyes being fixated on her body- shall we go?
Jer- Uh- I- Yeah yeah lets go- he said smiling at her.
Addison was silent until they got to the beach.
Addy- I've waited all year for this.
Jer- You want to race?
Addy- not really, im really tired.
Jeremiah sighed, he didn't know why Addison was in this depressing mood but he decided he would change that. He charged her like a sac of potatoes and rested her body on his shoulder as he charged towards the sea.
Addy- put me down, you idiot!- she started yelling as she was hitting lightly his back. Then he arrived and they both submerged under the sea.
Addy- you are an asshole- she said laughing.
Jer- there we go.
Addy- what?
Jer- you finally laughed- he said smiling
Addison grinned, she had truly missed this boy. They kept playing and splashing eachother for what felt for ages.
Then they went to dry off and watched the sunset together. Addison placed her head on his shoulder and finally she felt at peace for the first time over these 3 months.
Addison- its beautiful.
Jer- it is- he said looking at her- adds you are worrying me, what's going on?
Addy- Have you ever gotten the feeling where you just feel like you can't move on, but the world keeps going and you just feel stuck?- he tried to understand her but he had no idea what she was talking about- I just feel tired all the time, you know?
Jer- But why is that?- he asked calmly while scooting closer to Addison and putting and arm around her shoulders.
Addy- Its a long story, Jer. I don't really wanna talk about it now- she said tryingly
Jer- Its okey, just know I'm here for you- he said kissing the top of her head.
Addy- I know- she felt safe in his arms, she had never felt as she felt now.
