Night changes, Jeremiah Fisher

021. STRESS BEFORE A GAME IS NOT A GOOD WAY TO START

Chapter twenty one

"Stress before a game is not a good way to start."

Sleeping in her bed, the sun was being kept out by the curtains, as the only light could really be seen was the pink hew from her princess led light on her wall, as Jeremiah leaned over her shoulder "morning, princess." he whispered in her ear, as Diana smiled, turning to him "morning.' she told him, as Jeremiah put his hand up to her face, leaning in and kissing her, Diana kissed him back, Jeremiah rolled on top of her, kissing her on the neck.

Waking up, Diana sat up in bed, breathing heavy, realizing it was just a very hot dream, which wasn't a surprise after their make out in the pool last night, as she heard her phone buzz, she turned to the nightstand and grabbed it, seeing it was a text from Taylor, Belly told me she wished I was in cousins and tried to recruit me for her volleyball team, but I already told her that I already picked your team. So I hope your up and I hope you have lots to tell me because I am on my way, it read, as Diana smirked, knowing she had lots to tell her, as she got out of bed.

Having walked down the hallway, Diana had taken a shower, as she walked out wearing a light pink robe and slippers, she bumped into Jeremiah who was coming out of his bedroom 'ah!" Diana voiced, as the two of them fell on the floor "morning." Jeremiah told her "morning." Diana told him, knowing the two of them were in this position except the opposite way around in her dream "how'd you sleep?" Jeremiah asked her, and when he did, Diana raised her brows "sleep? Um..sleep was good." she shared.

As Steven walked up to them, he furrowed his brows "what the hell are you two doing?" he asked, as Diana quickly got off Jeremiah and stood up "um.." she shared, as Jeremiah stood up as well "we bumped into each other." he shared "okay.." Steven told them, as he turned heading into the bathroom, shutting the door behind him "hey, um, you excited about the volleyball tournament today?" Jeremiah asked her, as Diana chuckled "excited? Me and Taylor are gonna crush everyone." she shared.

As they heard the sound of the water turn on "Diana!" Steven yelled, as he turned opening the door "why is the water freezing cold?" he asked her, as Diana turned around, walking into her room, she shut the door behind her, and leaned against it, letting out a breath, leave it to an older brother to make things completely awkward.

Susannah was painting her and Belly's pictures back to back, although wearing this giant white dress, with long sleeves, when all her mind could think about was Jeremiah and his lips on her's and even more so the dream she had, plus how she fell on top of him a few minutes ago, she was sweating plus feeling like she couldn't breathe as she kept fanning herself "everything okay?" Susannah asked her "uh..it's just..it's just really hot. And I'm starting to feel like this dress is cutting off my ability to breathe." Diana shared.

"Just a little longer." Susannah told her, as she looked from her painting and at her and sighed "don't you just love that dress?" she asked, chuckling, as she continued to paint her, and that was the other thing besides Jeremiah plaguing her mind, the dress, she wanted to rip it off of her body and never wear it again "it's definitely a dress.." she said "you excited for the volleyball tournament?" Susannah asked her, and as she did, Diana felt like she could breathe "yes, me and Taylor are gonna crush everyone. Including Belly. And Steven and Shayla." she shared.

"And which charity are you representing?" Susannah asked her "uh, St Jude's children's hospital. The volleyball team always has a toy drive every Christmas for it." Diana shared "that's so sweet." Susannah told her, as Diana nodded "ah huh." she told her, feeling the strangulation kicking in "uh, sit still. I just need a couple more minute with those sleeves." Susannah told her, and when she did, Diana couldn't take it anymore, as she stood up "I can't.." she said, shaking her head "I need to take this thing off." she shared, breathing heavy.

And as she did, Susannah put her paintbrush down "okay, okay." she told her, standing up and walking over to her "sweetie, it's okay." she told her, putting her hands on her shoulders "just breathe, Diana." she told her, and as she did, Diana took a deep breath, again and again, still feeling trapped in this dress, in this deb life that she no longer wanted but she was far to in it now to say no.

Where the moment she put on her oufit for the tournament, she went for a run, needing nothing more but to get out of there and clear her head, and as she came running back to the house, Taylor was standing on the doorstep "there's my number one!" she voiced, holding her arms out, Diana hugged her "ugh! You have no idea how happy I am that your here!" she voiced, as Taylor hugged her back, Taylor pulled away "where's my shirt? We're gonna kick all of their asses." she shared "inside. I just needed to go on a run. Cause I'm really stressed out right now and that's the last thing we need." Diana shared, opening the front door, she walked in, as Taylor followed in after her.

The two headed down the hallway and into the kitchen to the second set of stairs, passing Conrad and Belly "what's up, Taylor?" Conrad asked her "hey." Taylor told him, as Conrad walked out of the room, Belly walked up to them, as Diana raised her brows "did I miss something?" she asked "yes. Am I missing something?" Belly asked "yep." Diana told her, turning and heading upstairs, Taylor followed after her along with Belly.

Standing in her room, Diana had put her hair in two braids, as Belly stood in there as well telling them what happened with her, Taylor changed into her uniform for the game "you are kidding me." Taylor shared "dead serious." Belly told them, as Diana chuckled "wait so did he just come out and ask you or was he begging?" she asked "oh, my god, please tell me he was begging." Taylor shared "he was not begging. But he was kind of nervous, though." Belly told them.

As Diana hummed "don't know what that's like." she shared, smirking, as she sat down on her bed, Taylor looked to her with furrowed brows "why? What's been going on with you? Is it about you and Jeremy?" she asked, and when she did, Belly raised her brows "well he was at dance practice with her for the deb ball the other day." she shared, as Taylor gasped "oh my gosh! You said you were gonna text me!" she voiced "so much has just been going on I haven't found time!" Diana voiced, laughing.

Taylor walked over and sat down next to her "well, now you do so tell us everything." she shared, and as she did, a knock then came to the door "come in!" Diana voiced, as their mom walked in "are you girls, ready? I'm gonna take you over." she shared "ooh, can I drive?" Belly asked, as their mom gasped "no." she told her, as she turned walking back out, Taylor leaned toward's Diana "tell us!" she voiced, tickling her, Diana laughed "we do not have time! But I promise you all will knowing everything sooner then later. So stop tickling me!" she voiced, as she reached her hands out, tickling Taylor, the two of them were laughing, as Belly came over and jumped on top of them, making them all laugh.
