Bad liar | Conrad Fisher

4th of july | Chapter 6

I woke up and got dressed into a red bikini top and white jean shorts. It's been a week since conrad said he loves me, he doesn't know I heard him and he will never know. I go downstairs and get some toast. I hear someone walk in so I look up "Heya bells" I say, she looks over at me slightly shocked "your going to wear that?" She says looking me up and down. I gulp "oh um yeah? Do I look bad?" I look down at my outfit "well um people will ask questions about your you know" she says like it's a normal thing to say "oh um okay, sorry bells" I go straight upstairs and look in the mirror, I shake my head knowing i like my outfit and nothing will change that, not even the scar on my stomach because of my od, fuck belly I look good. I go back downstairs and see belly looking over at me "you didn't change?" She says walking over "no I didn't, I look good in this outfit no matter what you say, and if anyone asks about the new scar then I'll just say it was an accident" i shrug "I just, I don't want you to get overwhelmed by everyone's questions" she states rubbing her arm "bells, I'm used to the questions trust me. The only reason im going to say its an accident is so i dont embarrass you in front of your new friends" I smirk at her laughing a little "jade no. No I'm not ashamed at all trust me I'm proud to say your my sibling, it just shows your strong enough to still be here" she says holding my shoulders then there's a knock at the door "that must be your friend's, go" I point my head to the door and head outside. I sit down with my feet in the pool "jade, I need you to go set up the guest bed room" my mum yells to me "Oh, who's staying?" She looks me in the eyes "your father and his new girlfriend" she said in a duh tone "wait dad's coming? And with his girlfriend?" I'm shocked "yes now go, they are going to be here soon" I go upstairs and keep trying to fold the corners so they look perfect "your doing it wrong, you need to fold it at a 90 degree angle" I fold it wrong, again. "That's not it at all" he says laughing "help me then" I look over "please conrad this needs to be perfect or my mam will kill me" I beg, he finally helps me I wonder if this is what it would be like if we dated. Wait what? STOP THINKING THIS "jade? Did you hear anything I just said?" I look over "what? Oh uh yeah of course" I laugh a little "what did I say then?" Shit. "You were talking about how happy you are that your dad couldn't come" I say trying to seem confident "no. I said I love you" my eyes widen, he starts laughing "god you really weren't listening, as if I'd say that" he keeps laughing "yeah I know" I join in and laugh too "don't you think it's weird my dad's coming here with his new girlfriend?" We finally stopped laughing "well not really, laural never really seemed that upset about the divorce so" I sigh "she's probably a bitch." I say and roll my eyes "hey no what if she's really nice" I look at him and smile "okay hear me out what if, what if she's a bitch" I giggle a little "jade come down your fathers here" I look at conrad "the bitch is here" he whispered god that was hot, WAIT NO STOP JADE UGHHH  I go down stairs and stand there talking to my dad and his new girlfriend for a while, I get annoyed at him because he said "wait what happend to your stomach whys there a scar? Jade I swear if you did it again." So I stormed out of the house and now I'm at the beach. I see belly and all her friends walk down "jade come over, we have alcohol" I hear from behind me "piss off" I snap "hey, look just ignore dad he's an asshole" I look at steven "fine, there better be vodka." He helps me up and we walk over, it's been half an our. I'm pretty drunk, we are out on the deck now "so jade what happend to your stomach?" Bellys friend nikol asks "oh I got into an argument with conrad right?" I say "hey jade how about we go on a walk" I look over "oh hey jeremiah, and ina sec I'm telling nikol about my stomach" I look back at nikol "and then during our fight-" "okay let's go jade" jeremiah starts pulling me away "jer wait I ugh" I shake his grip off me "basically he told me to kill myself so I started-" "jade that's enough." I hear from beside me and jeremiah, I look over "oh hey Connie, I was just telling nikol about how you almost made me-" "yeah I know, now let's go." He says cutting me off "god stop cutting me off, but as I was saying I started taking a bunch of pills and ended up in hospital, but it's fine because he said he loves me so it's fine" I turn to jeremiah "now we can go" I roll my eyes "I'll take her jer you go set up the fireworks" I look at conrad "why thank you Connie, let's goooo" I grab his arm and start walking when we get closer to the house I turn to him " you know, your bad at showing people you love them connie" I start walking away "jade?" I look over my shoulder "conrad?" I copy him "can we talk about this later, I gotta go help jer" I roll my eyes "obviously, go go. I was gonna go to sleep anyways" I wake up, and look at my phone

Conrad. Hey u up yet?

Jade. I'm up now, u okay?

Conrad. Come to the dock. We gotta talk.

Jade. K.

I go outside and see conrad at the deck with belly, I stand there watching. I hear someone walk out "hey u okay?" I look over "hey jer, yeah I'm good" I look back over to see them about to kiss. Jeremiah obviously looked too because he shot a firework in there direction, I storm back inside, I grad a bottle of vodka and go straight to the beach. Lord knows how long I've been put here but I'm not cold "hey, you never came to the dock" I don't even need to look to know who it is "I ended up talking to jer bout sum and it slipped my mine." I scoff "are you drunk again?" I look at him "what do you think conrad. I've an empty bottle of vodka next to me." I roll my eyes at him "okay what's up with you, why are you snaping at me?" I scoff "when did you and bells become a thing? I thought she loved jer" he sits down "me and belly aren't a thing, why you jealous?" He raised his eyebrows and smirked "god you fucking wish." I look back at the sea "look I know you heard me that night, I felt you tense up." I look over at him, he's staring right back at me " whyd you say it though? You've hated me for years it makes no sense" he sighs " I was trying to deny it but thinking I almost made you kill yourself almost killed me. God i love you so much its so confusing because I've never felt this way before" I look at him "conrad, I think I love you too."
