Gigi walked over to us and started screaming, causing a scene which made everyone stare at her "wtf! jeremiah your mine, remember baby we kissed, you love me and i love you" she said while touching jeremiah's arm.
"uh no that was a mistake gigi, i don't like you, it's not going to happen again" jeremiah replied taking her hands off of his arm.
"what?! your really picking to be lexi's escort over mine?!" gigi said while flicking her hair.
"i'm not her escort.." Jeremiah said putting his head down.
"whatever jere bear, you know you love me, remember we fuc-" gigi said before getting interrupted by paige.
"jeremiah fisher, why aren't you at the pool?" paige said in a firm voice.
"uh, we had a code brown" jeremiah replied.
"we lost the key to the chemical closet" he added.
Jeremiah headed out after Paige had handed him a key from the key book. All i could think about was how gigi was literally about to say her and jeremiah had fucked. Why did he lie to me, he told me they only kissed and it was a mistake. I wanted to cry, tears filled my eyes, but i couldn't let them out in-front of everyone that would be embarrassing.
After rehearsal i went home, I took a long shower and got changed into some comfy clothes, an oversized hoodie, and some nike pros. I applied a little makeup to make myself feel better. I know i can't be mad at jeremiah, we wasn't even a thing then but, i didn't understand why he lied to me.
The same day jeremiah tried talking to me as if i didn't hear what gigi said, he acted as if everything was normal but, it wasn't why did he lie?, that's all i could think about.
Later that night i had gone to pick up a bracelet for my mom,. I drove an hour for this present, it was a pandora bracelet filled with charms. My mom had been eyeing this bracelet for years. She never had the courage to buy it for herself as she thought it was too much money. I've been working and saving up ever since i was 16.

I wanted her present to be special since her and my dad divorced she's been raising 3 kids by herself and i think she's doing great. I really hoped she would like it, it took me forever to save up, and let's just say it wasn't the cheapest thing in the world. I drove home with the bag in my lap. when i got home, i went upstairs and changed into a bikini. I put my hair up into a messy bun, grabbed a towel and ran outside to go in the pool.

I dived elegantly into the pool, barely making a splash. I swam around for what seemed like only 10 minutes, until i heard someone yell out "so are you thinking of coming out anytime soon or.." i knew that voice, that voice makes me weak, it was jeremiah..
Without turning around to look at him i say annoyed "i know it's your family's house but you can't just kick me out the pool".
"uh no i mean like you've been out here for nearly 2 hours just swimming" he said sounding concerned.
"oh.. has it really been that long" i say swimming to the edge and climbing out the pool.
I grabbed my towel and dried myself off, i loved to swim, it always helped me clear my head, i didn't even realise i had been swimming for that long until jeremiah came out. Before i could wrap myself up in my towel, i could feel a pair of eyes on me. I look up and see jeremiah staring at my body, his eyes sparkled, they always did.
"problem?" i said annoyed thinking he was judging me.
"uh no, u look beautiful lex" he said still staring.
I wrapped myself up and remember what gigi said, i started to get angry and in the moment i was annoyed so without thinking i blurt out "yeh you say that to a lot of girls don't you, bet you said it to gigi in bed too" I know it was stupid of me to be mad as we weren't even a thing but i was.
His eyes widened "what?".
"you heard me" i said walking off and heading back inside.
I was walking up the stairs heading to my room when i heard another pair of legs running behind me. I knew it was jeremiah, before i could open the door to my room, he grabbed my wrist. I tried wiggling my wrist out but his grip was too strong.
"let go of me." i said angrily.
"no, not until you hear me out, and we talk about it" he said still gripping on to my wrist
"there's nothing to talk about, i heard gigi say it with my own ears" i said rolling my eyes at him.
Jeremiah pulled me into his room, closing the door shut. Clearly not letting me out until i heard him out.
"i don't have time for this, just let me go I'm tired." i said trying to leave his room.
Before i knew it i was being pinned to the wall by JEREMIAH FISHER. I nearly chocked on my own spit, i really wish he didn't have this effect on me. This just made him hotter than he was before. My heart was pounding out of my chest, he probably could've heard my heartbeat.
"please lex just listen" he whispered into my ear.
At this point i had lost all my power, it was like jeremiah had took control over me. I just stood there and nodded letting out a "mhm". I snapped out of it when he walked away from me sitting onto his bed. I sat myself next to him and was waiting for him to talk.
"lexi, i know what you heard seems true but, it's not. I promise you i never did anything with gigi but kiss her. She's lying because she's jealous" he said while holding my hand.
"i don't know what to believe" i said looking down and swinging my feet.
"please lex.. i can pinky promise" he said rubbing my hand with his thumb.
Pinky promises were my weakness, everyone in this house knew a pinky promise with me meant something, it wasn't just something dumb a little kid would do, to me pinky promises meant it was real and they meant it, it was unbreakable.
Jeremiah held his pinky out, so i did too, we locked out pinky's together and gave our thumbs a kiss, then pressed our thumbs together. We was silent for a while until jeremiah spoke up "lexi i promise, i never did anything with her".
"look i believe you but, seriously i got to get to bed. This girl is knackered" i said pointing at myself.
"okay goodnight lex" jeremiah said as i got up from his bed.
"goodnight jere" i said as i was about to walk out.
"uh no goodnight hug? i see how it is" jeremiah said putting on a strop like a baby.
"bring it in" i said with my arms open.
He hugged me pulling me closer by my waist, I could feel butterflies, i wrapped my hands around his neck and we just hugged for a good few minutes, i felt so safe when i was in his arms. Shortly I went back to my room and had a quick shower as i was still in my bikini, i did my skincare and hopped into bed drifting off to sleep.
