▬▬▬▬▬▬ JEREMIAH ▬▬▬▬▬▬

It's easy. Everything is so easy. Or maybe I'm just drunk. I'm probably just drunk. I don't really care. I'm happy. Steven twirls me, and I twirl him back, and I see the flash of Cam's camera go off and I smile at the thought of having that captured. I've missed him. Badly. It was Belly I was so concerned about falling out with, so angry with, but after Conrad, and my mum, we didn't see much of the Conklins. Steven at least had come to the reception. Belly left right after the funeral. I didn't even get to talk to her, but from the front I saw her come in. I remember the dress she wore, and the way she couldn't look up from the floor. I never asked Laur where she went, I just accepted it. I try to shake the memory off and throw my arm around Cameron, pulling him to the bar with me. When we get there we see Conrad, paying for another beer. I throw my other arm around him and he waits with us while we order.

"Where've you been?" I have to yell into his ear to be heard.

"Outside."

"You should come dance!"

"Yeah, okay." The way he smiles tells me he doesn't really mean it, and he knows I know.

"Loser." I say, and then- "Are you all good, man?"

He frowns for a moment and I almost panic, but then he puts his hand on my head and pulls me into a half-hug.

"Yeah, Jere. I'm all okay. Just have a lot to think about."

I pull away at those last words and fix him with a look. He shakes his head.

"Don't worry about it. Really." He pays for mine and Cam's drinks before we realise the bartender's serving them, and then heads into the crowd, grabbing Nicole's hand.

He doesn't dance but he sways to the music, as Nicole tries to coax him into dancing with her. I watch them for a moment and then turn back to Cam.

"Are you okay, dude?"

"Me?"

"Yeah. I know with everything that went down-"

"Cam. Can we just pretend everything's not really fucked up for me?"

He strokes my hair and says okay, but I can hear the resignation in his voice.

"Dance with me?" I ask and his face lights up. We down our drinks and head back onto the floor.
