GEMMA WOKE UP THE NEXT MORNING WITH A HEADACHE, Tatum was already up and moving around the bedroom, she could hear Jenna's voice coming through the speaker on the redhead's phone.
"Excuse me, you're where?"
"We are in Cousins, it's just for another day or so." Tatum sighs "I couldn't let her come alone, and you know that."
"She shouldn't even be there" Jenna's voice was full of frustration "You guys should come back, this isn't your shit to deal with."
"We'll see." the redhead says "I'll call you back later."
Getting up, Gemma smiled at her friend. Tatum looked at the girl with furrowed brows. The blonde was wearing a bigger shirt that almost looked like a dress on her.
"Morning sleeping beauty," Tatum teases "is that your ex prince charming's shirt?"
"Shut up, Tatum."
"We should head downstairs, they're arguing already."
The duo made their way downstairs, Gemma felt her heart race approaching the voices. There wasn't any reason for her to be so nervous, nothing happened.
Lucky for her, when they got to the kitchen they only found Jeremiah and Belly in it, the duo looking around for food.
"Oh, I found some cocoa." Belly says excitedly.
"You should throw that away." Gemma says quietly, all eyes on her curiously "I bet it's not good anymore, these things can get moldy."
Belly looks at Jeremiah with her brows furrowed and the boy just shrugs. Gemma takes the cocoa can from the young girl and throws it in the trash.
"I can go and get something to eat." the blonde girl offers.
"No need," Jeremiah says "Belly and I are going to check on Aunt Julia, we can bring something on the way back."
"Is she here?"
"Yeah, at Ocean Harbor." he rolls his eyes. "It's close to that cookie place, I'll grab some for you."
"That would be good, thanks Jere."
"Can you do me a favor while we're gone?" the boy makes his way to his friend and holds her face in his hands, the girl just nods. "Can you put some sense in Conrad's stupid head?"
"I'm not sure he would even pay attention if I try to say something."
"He listens to you, Gem." Belly says.
"You are the only person that can get through to Conrad." Jeremiah makes his puppy eyes at the girl who just sighs and nods.
"I'll try, but I can't promise he is going to listen."
