the summer everything changed

pool parties

Belly pov

Taylor and I are sitting on the couch watching TV with the mom's. we're watching some old show that we used to do every year while the boys would normally go out to the summer break pool party , Taylor and I were never "old enough" to go bearing in mind that the biggest age gap is conrad he's 17 , Steven and Jeremiah are 16 whole Taylor and I are 15

Just on qeu, the stamped came down the stairs, making Taylor and me  look behind us . The three of them were all in shorts and no t-shirt. "Can we go with this time?" Taylor says as she hops up onto her knees, facing them

"You know the deal," Stevn says, making us both roll out eyes. "Shut up, Steven, were not 10 anymore," she says, making me laugh and make eye contact with Conrad, who's smiling between me and Taylor

"Are you sure you can handle it?" Conrad says as if he's mocking us, making me roll my eyes." Please, I could take you on any day,"  Taylor says, making Connie smirk at her

"Is that so?" he says before running at her leaping over the couch, taking her down to the floor with him so he's sat on top of her , laughing I jump up and jump onto his back arms wrapping around his neck trying to help Taylor

It doesn't last long before Jeremiah soon follows in Connie's steps and easily slides over the top of the couch and peels me off Conrad , his warm hands slid under My shirt the feeling of his skin on mine gives me goosebumps

"Alright, alright, all of you get out of here," my mother says, shooing us out the way as they both laugh

After a few minutes of convincing, they eventually let us come with, and we quickly rush upstairs to get changed,  Taylor and I throw on a bikini set that comes with a skirt (photo above) we do a quick once over and smile at each other then grab each others hands and head downstairs

The boys are already in the cars. Steven is with Conrad, and Jeremiah is in his own car. Taylor and I look at each other and smile. "Race you there," I say, and we giggle and then run to different cars she goes for Conrad, and I go to Jeremiah, who's already smiling at me

Jeremiah is the first to leave he's just as competitive as I am. " Have you heard the nickname my mom's give us?" he says, getting my attention, which isn't hard for him to do. All he has to do is walk in the room, and all eyes are on him and Conrad, but mine stay with him

"No, what is it?" I say, smiling at him, and he laughs, then looks at me with his gorgeous smile," she said shes team Jelly," he says, making me laugh susannah has always said that I'm destined to be with one of her boys

I think at first she wanted me to be with Conrad, but over the years, she's realised that my heart belongs to Jeremiah and it always will

Jeremiah has always been there for me through thick and thin, and so has Conrad, but Jeremiah he is the golden boy, and I love him

It's not long till we get to the house party you can hear the music from the car , Jere being the gentleman he is hops out the car and jogs round to my side and opens the door for me "my lady" he says making me laugh as he holds his hand our for me to take

" Why, thank good sir,"  I say and take his hand, then hop out the car seconds later Conrads car pulls up next to us, and they all hop out "ladies, welcome to  the summer break blow out" Conrad says making us laugh

We all head in . Jeremiah walks behind me with his hands on my shoulders while Conrad has his slung over Taylors shoulder. I smile, seeing her muster up the courage to warp her small fingers around his wrist, holding onto it 

Once we get inside, Steven is greeted in a hug by Shayla they have been together for a while now, and it's the first time they have seen each other since last year

"Do you want a drink?" Jeremiah says his voice right next to my ear so I can hear him over the music that's blasting through the house "yeah please" I say in return he slides his hands down my arms till he reaches My hand and grabs it

Not like in a relationship way more like a friendship way his fingers wrap round My hand they don't entwine with mine he then pulls me through the crowded house most people move out his way while others greet him

A few hours later

It's been a few hours since we've been here. Taylor and I are sitting on the couch while the boys are off somewhere else , "Hey, they are talking about another party." Taylor says, smiling at me and then looking back at the group

"You should definitely come with," one of them said, hearing Taylor talk about the party. She smiled at him, then back at me "alright alright" I said with a laugh, and we headed outside Conrand , Jeremiah, and Steven were all out front

"Hey Belly were are you going?" Conrad says when he sees us walking past them with the group, which now gets Jeremiah and Stevens' attention." Theu are coming to another house party. Who are you? " The one guy says, trying to look tough, making the boys laugh

"Family friends, and actually we were about to go home," Jeremiah says, Conrad, in step with him as they step forward "yeah you can go home but we're going to another party" the boy says again

"Okay... no offence, but no.... Belly get in the car," Jeremiah says, clearly getting annoyed as he opens the car door for me to get in "we better go" I say looking at Taylor who rolls her eyes I walk over the Jeremiah's car and he puts his hand on my back as I reach him then closes the door behind me after I get in the car

Conrad walks over to Taylor and gives her a look as if to say What are you doing , then after a few seconds, she follows him to his car and hops in, and we drive home
