"Hey, Tate, wake up," I hear someone say as they shake me "Dylan just left he told me to tell you that he has plans but he will be back later," The voice says as I semi-open my eyes at look up to Jeremiah

"Okay, thank you," I say with a smile as I try and sit up "How long have I been sleeping?" I ask as I bring a hand to my head that was now pounding "A few hours, we all thought it was best for you just to sleep it off, Belly's doing the same. She got pretty drunk," Jeremiah says while sitting down next to me and laughing

"Did you guys do the cake?" I ask knowing how excited Susannah was about it "Yea, we know you don't like cake so we decided not to wake you, but if you feel sad about it we left you a piece just in case," he says while grabbing his controller

"Did the girls leave?" I ask with regret filling my stomach "Yea, they left after you went inside," he says in a low tone "Okay, well I'm gonna go freshen up," I say while standing up and grabbing my phone that was on the table

I walk toward the stairs with my hand still on my head. I make it up the stairs stumbling a few times and I walk into the bathroom to grab some medicine, I notice there are already two pills and a cup of water on the bedside table with a little note that reads "Feel better," with a little heart. must have been Susannah or laurel

I walk out of the bathroom and over toward my room knocking just in case Belly's dad was in there, when I didn't hear anything back I walked in and walked toward the bathroom where all my stuff has been

I brush through my hair and take off the smeared makeup, I re-apply some mascara and I wash my hands before going back downstairs, "Hey, can you help us clean up?" Conrad asks as I step into the kitchen

"Uh, yeah," I say while walking closer to him "Where is your bf?" He asks while looking down "Apparently he had something to do," I say while nodding my head slightly "Oh," He says while handing me a trash bag

We walked out of the back door, Jeremiah and Steven were already there and throwing trash at each other, "You guys are only making a bigger mess," I say while laughing and walking toward the table that had napkins and cups surrounding it

"think fast," Jeremiah says while he throws a piece of trash at Steven "Jesus," he says trying to catch the trash in the bag "Ready?" Jeremiah says as he throws another piece

"Why is your aim so bad?" Steven asks annoyed "Hey, listen, it's not my fault you can't hold a garbage bag," Jeremiah says while holding his arms up in defense "All right," Steven says with annoyance lacing his voice

"Hey, Dumb and Dumber, can you guys go set up the fireworks?" He asks them as he walks closer to me "What does that make me?" I ask "My helper," He says with a slight smile on his face

"Yeah, sure. Let's go," Jeremiah says to Steven before they walk off, we sat there in silence neither of us daring to speak to the other

"Are you going to Nicole's tonight?" I ask just wanting to talk to him "Uh, no." He says not looking at me "Okay," I say with my voice dying out at the end

"Is Dylan coming back tonight?" He asks "Probably not, Jeremiah said that he said he'd come back but I doubt it, he probably hooking up with some random girl," I said while shrugging my shoulder

"I should probably apologize to Shayla and Steven, huh?" I say while looking at him "Nah, It's his fault and she deserved to know," He says while still refusing to look at me

"Are you okay?" I ask him "Yeah, why?" He asks while just staring down "because you haven't looked up at all, you seem off," I say while walking closer toward him

"It's just... it's just my dad being her," He says. I remember him telling me about how he didn't respect his dad and didn't like him, "Conrad?" I say while putting my hand on his shoulder

"Yeah?" He says while finally looking up at me and tears are threatening to pour out of his eyes "There is something else going on isn't there?" I ask before pulling him into a hug

I can feel him let go of everything, the part of my shirt getting wet that his head was resting on "It's okay," I say while running my hand through his hair "there is so much I wanna tell you but I can't," He says while hugging my tighter

"That's okay," I say softly "Come on, let's sit down," I say guiding us toward the lounge chair "I'm sorry," He says while wiping his tears and looking away "You have nothing to be sorry for, You don't have to hide your feeling from me, it's okay to cry once and a while," I say while putting my hand on his back and moving it up and down

"Tate," He starts to say while looking at me "I'm sorry," He says "For what?" I ask "You know, for everything, leading you on and then being the way I am with Nicole in front of you," He says

"You know I had a girlfriend at the beginning of the year, Aubrey. I thought you know this was gonna be the one girl that helped me get over my first love, I thought I had true genuine feelings for her. There was a night when you called me and I could tell you were drunk off your ass and you were telling me things that have happened in your life since we last spoke and I just remember thinking that I could never love anyone the way I love you," He says while looking me in the eyes

"I don't remember calling you," I say with my head low and my voice barely above a whisper "I know, but it was nice talking to you and hearing your voice after so long," He says with a smile

"You know, I had a boyfriend at the beginning of the year also, well I don't know if I would even call him that, he was just so different compared to you, he was the complete opposite from you. I thought that's what I would have wanted in a guy, someone to be completely nothing like you, but I hated every moment of being with him because even if you had nothing in common I couldn't stop thinking about you, you're like this disease that never goes away. I broke up with him I guess you could say the same night I called you, I was so drunk and I had told him all about you and how I still loved you and I just remember he was so rude to me so I dumped him by pouring a drink all over him," I say while letting out a laugh

"Will you meet me down at the dock tonight to watch fireworks?" He asks while taking my hand in his "Well considering I'm sleeping in your room, yeah," I say laughing while standing up and getting back to picking up the trash
