The lucky one, Conrad Fisher

042. START TO AN EPIC PARTY

Chapter forty two

"Start to an epic party." 

Where when they got back, Hannah had taken all the clothes upstairs while Belly went to the kitchen with the alcohol, leaving Jeremiah and Conrad outside to handle the rest of the party supplies, where Jeremiah had gone to the garage, but then never came out, as Conrad went to find him "and Jeremiah's been swallowed by the garage." he told him, as he walked into it "you know, I always hated when mom and Brooke made us take these photos. It's like they knew we'd want them later though." Jeremiah shared.

And when Conrad looked at them, he quickly recognized it because this one was one of the ones she threw at him, where he could still hear the glass breaking and the pain in her voice every time he looked at them, as he grabbed the book "yeah, um, Hannah had these hanging in her room until last summer where she threw them at me." he shared, bringing his hand up to his head where one of them hit him, where Jeremiah looked at him having not know that was what the sound of glass breaking was when the two were fighting "I can barely even remember those summers. What if it all fades? All our memories of her." he shared.

As Conrad looked up from the book at him "it won't." he told him, as he closed it, and handed it back to him "hey. When the movers get that stuff to Boston, the first thing I'm gonna do is find that picture mom painted of you last summer. Because I never want to forget that thing." he shared "you suck." Jeremiah told him "I think a museum might take it. I'm being honest with you." Conrad shared, as Jeremiah chuckled "no, if they take anyone's it's gonna be Hannah's." he shared, as Conrad began walking out "yeah, yeah, both of them everyone deserves to get to see greek god Jeremiah and bride angel looking Hannah." he shared, turning around and walking to the house, he whistled.

And as he did, Hannah walked past him and over to Jeremiah "hey! Did you happen to find your mom's super trooper costume in there? Cause I think parts of it will go so well with my outfit for the party." she shared "yeah, um.." Jeremiah told her, as he turned around, walking back to the garage, Hannah followed him "I think they made it into a costume bin seeing as they had no idea what it was for." Jeremiah shared, putting the box in his hands down to grab the one she was asking for.

Hannah looked down, seeing Susannah's roller skates, she picked them up "oh god, Belly like projectile omitted in these when she did spins." she shared "yeah and that happened to be me and I had to throw away that shirt" Jeremiah shared, as him and Hannah laughed, Hannah then noticed the blue book, and put the roller skates down, grabbing it "what are these? Incriminating photos of our time here in cousins that she was gonna show to people on our wedding day?" she asked "kind of.." Jeremiah told her.

as Hannah opened it to a random page, the picture hit her like a tidal wave,

Hannah then turned, grabbing the next three pictures "then why isn't that enough for you! Why can I never be enough for you!" she voiced, turning and throwing them at him, where she hit him in the chest with them, where they fell down and shattered just like the others.

"Hannah?" Jeremiah asked her, pulling her out of it, Hannah looked up at him, as she quickly closed the book shut "I'm fine." she told him, throwing it back in the box, where it clattered just like the ones she had thrown at him "you didn't seem fine. And in that picture you were looking at him the same exact way earlier." Jeremiah shared "what?" Hannah asked him "at the store? It felt like I was..walking in on something." Jeremiah informed her "you were walking in on nothing because just like what Cam told us, certain things bring up certain memories and a lot of them are bad compared to good and I..I can't put myself back there again. I can't feel like that. Not tonight. Tonights supposed to be fun. Like my birthday when they came out with the smoke machine and started singing for me." Hannah shared.

And when she did, Jeremiah's eyes went wide "the smoke machine! I totally forgot about the smoke machine!' he voiced, handing her the box of costumes, he began running toward's the back of the garage, picking it up "you gonna perform for us, Hannah? You, Belly and Taylor could be the new Donna and the dynamos!" he voiced, as Hannah shook her head "no! No, that is not happening!" she voiced, as she turned around walking out of the garage, Jeremiah grabbed the box he had been carrying inside putting the roller skates and the smoke machine in it, he picked it up and followed her "even if this will be the last performance ever?" he asked "yes! Even then!" Hannah voiced, as the two walked into the house.

Later on, Hannah had a light blue dress on with a sheer gold blue and gold trim wrap over it that had bell sleeves and was wearing white go go's with a white fur jacket with her hair up and half down, where the party was in full swing, although when she walked down the stairs, passing everyone else on the way, she walked into what used to be the living room, where and as she did, Steven noticed her first "whoa." he said, as Conrad furrowed his brows "what?" he asked him, as Steven spun him around, making him look at Hannah, his eyes went wide "exactly!" Steven voiced.

"Hannah!" Conrad called out, and as he did, Hannah turned her head, looking at him, although when she did, she noticed the deb girls "Hannah, come here." Conrad told her, as Hannah turned to him "what?" she asked, getting a little snappy "Steven's gonna take a picture." Conrad told her, putting his arm around her "Hannah, smile. Ready?" Steven asked, as Hannah was forcing a smile "three, two, one, cheese." Steven told them, and as he did, Conrad turned looking at Hannah as the picture was taken.

Where Hannah then turned around walking out of that room not wanting to be in there, where Taylor was dancing to the music, as Skye stood next to Cam who was the dj, Hannah noticed Belly roller skating by as she furrowed her brows "I thought we didn't allow her to roller skate anymore? Let alone drink and roller skate?" she questioned, pointing at her, someone grabbed her by the hand and spun her into them, where her chest then collided with Jeremiah's "okay looks like somebody needs a drink." Jeremiah shared, holding his cup out to her, Hannah took it and began downing it.

And as she did, Conrad was looking at the picture of him and Hannah, knowing that was her fake smile opposed to her real one, he turned to the direction she had gone and saw her drinking out of Jeremiah's cup as he stood right in front of her "right. O.." Steven said, as Conrad looked to him "look, I'm rooting for you, bro, the two kissing was just a dare. All you've gotta worry about is not breaking her fucking heart again." Steven shared, as Conrad looked to the room "says the guy who's been following Taylor around all night." he shot back "oh, uh, no," Steven shared, holding his hands up "I fully cop to that.' he told him, chuckling.

He looked to Taylor "come on, man, who's she fooling, you know?" Steven asked, as Conrad looked to him "you know she's got a boyfriend, right?" he asked him, as Steven looked back at him "technically. Okay, but he's all wrong for her, so.." he shared "all right, all right. I'm not snitching. I'm just saying, bro." Conrad shared "group shots!" Belly voiced, as she skated over to them, Taylor, Hannah and Jeremiah walked up, where they all cheered.

"If that's gin, I'm killing you." Conrad told Jeremiah as he pointed at the shots "aw, it's tequila, come on." Jeremiah told them "yes, yes." Steven said, as they all grabbed a shot "okay, cups up. Listen, no matter how much times passes or how far apart we are, we're always gonna love you guys, okay?" Jeremiah asked "aw, Jermey, you cheeseball." Taylor shared "all right, to the last night!" Jeremiah voiced, as they all held their's up in the middle "to the last night!" they all yelled, as they all took their shots, Jeremiah took Hannah's glass and then replaced them with two more "seriously?" Hannah asked him "drink up." Jeremiah told her, as the two clinked their shots together they downed them.

And as they did, Jeremiah then put it back down as he put his arm around Hannah the two of them walked off "can you believe that they invited them here? Like I get that their probably the only girls they knew to invite all these people but all they did last summer was cause problems." Hannah shared, as Jeremiah hummed "I see now why you were mad. You weren't just worried about Belly, you saw Nicole and them." he shared "well, yeah! They left me, Taylor and Belly stranded all because of a text from Conrad." Hannah shared.

As Jeremiah took her hand and spun her around "you look great by the way." he told her, and as he did, Hannah smiled at him "thanks." she told him, as neither of them noticed Conrad watching them, Hannah put her hand on Jeremiah's shoulder "look, I'm gonna..I'm gonna go get a drink but you should go find Belly." she shared "Hannah.." Jeremiah told her, as Hannah turned walking away from him, and as she did, Conrad turned moving a different way to find her.
