The summer she turned pretty and he changed

Chapter 15 the club

Belly's pov

We just arrived at the club. We were walking towards the club whenwe spotted Jeremiah coming towards us.

''B, B-Belly? Wow I didn't even recognize you. Just like wow. You look g-good''. I heard Blake scoff, but I shrugged it off.

I smiled at Jeremiah and gave him a soft smile. ''thank you Jere''. ''so, you're really doing this debutant thing?'', he asked me. I nod. ''yeah why not? It's not doing any harm if I try. I mean it's a fun thing to do, or at least I hope so''.

''I mean you're right. It is no harm and hey, maybe you'll like it''. He turned his gaze to Blake. ''so, Blakey Blake. You here to help me?''. I noticed a change in him. ''don't call me that Jery. You know I don't like it. Especially when it comes from dad''.

Jeremiah narrowed his eyes at Blake. ''oh, lighten up dude. You're at the club. Gigi was just here. She went inside if you want to drop in and say hello. She was really excited about something'', Jeremiah smirked at him.

3rd pov

At the mention of the girl, Belly looked at the ground and Jeremiah noticed but didn't say a word.

''nah dude I think I'm going to be with Steven for a bit. I'll see her tomorrow''. Jeremiah had a little smile on him now instead. ''tomorrow? What's going on tomorrow? Wait is this why she was excited?''. '' I don't know. I'm just hanging out with her then''. ''like a date?''. ''no, not exactly. We are just hanging out. Like friends''.

Jeremiah scoffed not believing his brother. ''dude. Didn't you and her like swap spit at the bonfire?''. Blake relunctantly nods. ''yeah, but she caught me off guard. I didn't exactly kiss her back. I mean it was one sided. I was surprised''.

The youngest Fisher went over to his brother and threw his arm around him. ''no, dude come on. She wants you, so now bring you a game. You're a Fisher. What do you think Belly? Shouldn't he try it with her?''.

Blake looked at the girl, hoping for a reaction but he didn't get any. What he didn't know, was that the reaction was inside. Belly's heart ache.

''sure. You should Blake. I mean if you want. Your desicion''.

Blake's pov

No reaction, figured. My heart, you have to let go.

''yeah, maybe. I'll just see where it leads. Oh, there I see Steven. I'm going to hang with him for a bit. I'll see the both of you later''.

I walked away from them and to Steven.

''Stevo ma bro''. He turned around and gave me a smile. ''Blake my bro'', he greeted back. ''so, any information for me''. He shakes his head. ''nah nothing really. You?''. I winked at him. ''oh, you bastard. You do. Tell me''.

''well, I'm hanging out with Gigi tomorrow''. He took out his hand and took it into a fist handing it to me. I fist bumped him. ''dude that's awesome. For a moment there I really thought you like had a thing for Belly''.

I scratched the back of my head. ''would that have been a bad thing? Like if I had?''. He narrowed his eyes at me. ''no, I guess not, but like it's my sister. I want what's best for her''. ''and I aren't?'' I questioned.

3rd pov

The Conklin boy shook his head. ''no, no it's not like that. You are good for her. It's just I guess it would have been weird, but like I guess I would accept it''.

The Fisher boy went quiet and looked around. His eye catched Belly and Jeremiah heading into the club.

He looked back at his best friend. ''come on let me help you with your work''. ''sure. Just be out of my hair''. ''aye, aye captain Stevo''.

Steven rolled his eyes and walked away. The Fisher boy followed behind.

----

A few hours later.

All of the boys, the girl and the mothers were home. Susannah was helping Belly with her date with Cam. Jeremiah, Conrad and Steven were playing video games downstairs. Blake was in his room, playing his guitar and singing.

''I'll put myself out there. I'll go on and make myself happy, but I can't help but think about those little moments with you. Cause that's the times that really makes me happy''.

''just being near you makes my day, but never to get to call you mine hurts as a jelly fish sting. Seeing you with someone else makes it ten times more worse and you don't even see it. What has this come to?''.

''does he know what your favourite colour is? Does he know your favourite snack? Does he know your favourite movie? Does he know your favourite singer?''.

''cause I know it all. I know it's red, twizzlers, titanic, the one and only Taylor Swift. Oh, yeah I know. ohhhh''.

''I notice things, but does he? I know almost everything's there is to know. I pay attention, even small things. Everything you've told, I've heard and listened. The way your smile grows bigger when you hear something about volleyball...''.

Blake didn't get to finish as a knock came from the other side of the door. ''come in''.

Shortly after, his mother came in.

''you have to sing more often Blakey wakey''. The boy groaned. ''mom''. ''what? I haven't called you that in ages''. The Fisher boy couldn't stay mad at her. ''no it's fine, but please that wasn't any good. Not the lyrics at least. I have to work on those''.

Susannah shook her head. ''no, my son. It was, may have been a little off but it was beautiful. I heard another one the other day. May I ask who it was about?''.

Blake cleared his throat. ''oh, just no one. I was just freestyling. You know trying different, like this one'', he lied. Susannah smiled. ''no, I don't think you were Blake. That came from the heart, but hey if you don't wanna tell me it's fine''.

''thanks mom for understanding''. ''of course Blake. Well, I'm going to get ready for Laurel's party. See you in a bit hon'', she told the boy as she was walking out. She didn't get out the room before her son called for her.

''mom''.

She looked back at him.

''I love you''.

The Fisher woman's heart warmed at her son's word. ''I love you too, Blakey wakey''. She walked out of the room shortly after that.

Then a sighing Blake was left alone with his own thoughts.
