the ride to the cousins beach house wasn't awkward even though they hadn't seen or talked to each other eachother in months.
it wasn't even awkward between jeremiah and violet, which was surprising to violet considering their breakup was messy and they both knew she still loved him.
they hadn't talked about it, violet just kept playing songs over the aux that very clearly had emotions and told their story perfectly. to which jeremiah was intently getting the message of.
they chatted, got a flat tire, and they ate and now they had finally reached their destination.
jeremiah was the first to go inside with violet right at his side, belly was last. taking her time to feel her emotions at it was their first time here after susannah.
the two brothers yelled at each other for a couple minutes until a few words caught violet and belly who hadn't made her presence known until now.
"the house is sold jere okay! that's it!" conrad yelled.
"what do you mean the house is sold?" belly said walking further into the room.
conrad's eyes shifting from jeremiah's to hers. his rude demeanor now mixing with sadness.
"what is she doing here" conrad said still staring at her, not exactly as a question more as a statement and his attitude towards her was very clear.
"conrad what do you mean the house is sold?" violet butted in not letting him say anything else to belly that could hurt her feelings even more.
"i'm not doing this right now" conrad said as he angrily walked out of the room.
"what a fucking womanly thing to do" violet said watching conrad stomp down the stairs on the back porch.
"i'm gonna go talk to him" jeremiah said looking at violet with a look..almost as if he was asking for permission.
permission that he knew he didn't need, considering they weren't in a relationship and that they hadn't talked in months. he certainly did not need her permission.
but on another note..violet nodded her head, giving him the permission he was asking for. and with that they both turned around to go on their own ways.
violet and belly made their way upstairs separating from eachother to go to their rooms.
violet stepped into the room, it used to be so brightly lit but now it was sorta dim in a way. not in the way that the sun was setting and it was getting darker but in the way that it didn't feel the same knowing susannah wasn't with her this time. the room was dim in a sense that the brightly lit light wasn't with her. in fact the room wasn't the problem at all, the problem was violet.
she sat on her bed staring around at all of the pictures on the walls and all of the clothes she had left strung around the floor. she'd always usually clean after herself of susannah would clean up the room before they returned for the summer, but susannah wasn't here this time. so violet got up and started cleaning up the mess.
violet stared around at her things as she was putting her clothes away. she had been in this room every summer since she was born, she had looked at these things plenty of times, she had this entire room memorized but suddenly looking at it now it all felt different. like she was noticing things she hadn't noticed before. there was a small pink bottle of nail polish on her dresser. she hadn't noticed that before. but she remembered where it came from.
"hey honey" susannah said walking into violets room. violets small lamp on her bedside table was on and she was wrapped up under the blankets.
"hi susannah" violet said pulling the blankets off of her face but remaining wrapped up in them.
"i don't want to pry but i heard you guys arguing, you know you can always talk to me" susannah said rubbing violets back. violet and jeremiah got into a pretty public argument and by public they were arguing on the back porch and susannah and jamie were watching a movie in the living room that they had turned down to hear the commotion.
"i know" violet said.
"here sit up and give me your hands"
violet sat up, placing her hands into susannah's lap. susannah had always done this to violet since she was a little girl, no matter if violet was sad, sick, or simply just didn't feel pretty enough susannah was always there with a new nail polish color and a comforting smile on her face.
violet watched susannah dip the brush in a few times and then swipe it over her nails.
"it's pretty" violet said.
"prettier on you than it was on me"
"that's not true, your beautiful in everything"
susannah looked up from violets nails now that she was finished and gave violet a bright smile and a kiss on the head.
"come on i made cookies" susannah said.
violet put a big smile on her face and followed susannah out of the room.
"and be careful with your nails!"
"i am! i am!"
"so your aunt wants to sell the house?" violet said as she sat on the couch in between jeremiah and belly.
"yes" conrad said standing in front of them, he was pacing around as if he was their parent and they had just gotten in trouble.
"can't you call your dad?" violet said.
"he's not gonna do anything to help, he's such a dick" conrad said.
"you could atleast try" belly said.
"are you guys not hearing me at all?" conrad said.
"are you not hearing yourself? hello! we have to atleast try something" violet said standing up off of the couch.
it was violets turn to play parent since clearly she was the only one coming up with ideas instead of waiting for something to happen.
"just try and call your dad in the morning, he might be able to help" violet said.
conrad nodded his head to her.
"in the mean time i guess we can just hangout and do something to get our mind off of it" violet said looking around trying to come up with something to do.
"you guys wanna go swimming?" violet smiled.
"hell yeah we do!" jeremiah said pulling conrad by his hands to force him to go upstairs and change.
"come on belly let's go" violet said pulling belly by her hands to force her to change too.
violet and jeremiah could figure their problems out on their own, it takes them forever to do so but they'll get their, belly and conrad always needed a push in the right direction. so violet and jeremiah were gonna try and help.
