hours after the deb ball the mood in the summer house was much different. there were no more sobs, no more tears even a few laughs were shared over dinner.
there was an unmistakable light that wasn't there before... it was hope.
sadie sat at the beach, watching the waves, something she had been doing a lot that summer. it was her new way of coping, listening to the sea, watching the sky and clearing her head. so much had happened, she wasn't even sure how to begin to process anything.
susannah was sick again. her cancer had returned. even thinking about it gave sadie this sombre feeling, the same one she had when her mother died. the end was near, it told her. laurel and andrew have known about susannah's condition since april, which couldn't have been easy on either of them. conrad knew too, it explained his glum mood... it explained a lot.
"penny for your thoughts?" jeremiah's figure appeared on sadie's left side. he had changed, no longer in his suit, a small, almost missable smile on his lips. "you might need a lot of pennies then." she told. chuckling lightly, though there was no humour behind her words, he sat down on the sand, right next to her. "that bad, huh?"
"not as bad as it could get," she revealed. spiralling thoughts were no stranger to sadie crawford. think of a pit with no end, a pit in which you fall without ever reaching the bottom because it doesn't have one. "that's why you come to the beach so often," it wasn't a question, it wasn't a statement, it was an observation. she didn't comment on it, letting the silence flow between them for a moment.
"mom's told us she'd do the trial." almost immediately sadie's head snapped in jeremiah's direction, a smile on her face and a hint of hope in her eyes, "that's- that's amazing news. oh my god." she jumped from her sitting position, hugging the fisher boy so tightly for a second he thought he couldn't breathe. he hugged her back just as tightly.
"we're moving to boston."
"what?"
pulling back, wiping the tears from her cheeks and putting her hair behind her ear, she explained, "piper is moving out and- and dad wants us to be closer to you. to susannah. he wants us to be able to be there for you. it's what mom would've wanted." they were both on their feet, facing each other by the time she finished talking.
they were having their happy ending it seemed. things might not have been great, a lot was on the line but for the first time in a while, sadie was happy and so was jeremiah.
"you're transferring to my school," he was smiling, his eyes shining down at her. "you're mine at prom because i think i owe you a dance."
her eyebrows furrowed, confusion written all over her face. "i fucked up at the deb ball... i- i shouldn't have left you like that. i'm really sorry." she took his face into her hands and looked deeply into his eyes, "i don't hold that against you. i would never hold that against you." her words meant the world, a part of the heaviness on his chest had been lifted.
"i don't want you to just be mine at prom night. i want you to be mine every night, today, tomorrow, every day as long as you'll have me." her eyes watered for the millionth time in the previous twenty-four hours. it was a confession. a confession she felt like she waited for her entire life.
there were no words to explain what she felt at that moment. none of the words in the english dictionary weren't enough to express how much she wanted this. so she kissed him.
this kiss was so much more than their other kisses. this one screamed 'yes!'. this one expressed every emotion they felt for one another over the previous seventeen years. this one was for all of the other times when they didn't have the courage to just go for it. this one meant love. this one meant everything. this was the one because... she was the one.
