Night changes, Jeremiah Fisher

032. SILENCE THAT CUTS ME TO THE CORE

Chapter thirty two

"Silence that cuts me to the core."

Driving in the car, the two were sitting in complete silence, as Jeremiah kept his eyes on the road, Diana was looking out the window, but soon she couldn't handle the silence anymore as she leaned toward, turning on the radio, and as she did, Taylor's Swifts version of forever and always was playing

"Once upon a time, I believe it was a Tuesday when I caught your eye

And we caught onto something
I hold onto the night, you looked me in the eye and told me you loved meWere you just kidding?
'Cause it seems to me, this thing is breaking down
We almost never speak
I don't feel welcome anymore
Baby what happened? Please tell me'Cause one second it was perfect, now you're halfway out the doorAnd I stare at the phone, he still hasn't called
And then you feel so low you cant feel nothing at all
And you flashback to when he said, "Forever and always"

Then Diana's phone started singing and as it did, Hey Stephen was playing where as it did, Jeremiah knew that was another difference because her ringtone for everyone used to be Diana by one direction to let her know that her phone was ringing, where Diana then put it to voicemail and moved her hand to the radio and turned it down "was the Steven? Why didn't you pick up?" Jeremiah asked "because nobody besides Taylor knows where I am. And that's just a conversation I don't want to have right now." Diana shared, letting out a breath as she looked to him "how um, have you been?" she asked.

"I'm okay." Jeremiah told her, a bit to quickly for Diana's liking as she nodded "okay." she told him, turning and looking back out the window, realizing he didn't want to talk, where if the radio was gonna call out the awkwardness of their relationship, then sitting in silence the rest of the way might be their only option, as Jeremiah turned and looked at her, and when he did, he remembered the night all the way back in December where they were driving down here with her, Belly and Conrad

Where sitting in the back he was looking at her the same way he was now "on a scale one to ten, how much trouble do you think we'll all be in when they find out all four of us are gone?" Conrad asked, as Diana chuckled, looking away from the window and up at him "with our mom? She'll lose her mind! She'll be all like, how come you didn't tell me you were going to cousins? And Steven we'll be all like, you guys went without me? Before he then realizes that because he's single he's just a really big fifth wheel." she shared "or we won't get in trouble and just tell everyone they kidnapped us." Belly shared.

"Kidnapped you? Yeah like Laurel's gonna believe that especially because Diana said yes right away." Jeremiah shared "what's wrong with that? It's fun all four of us hanging out together! I mean Conrad's the brains, your the brawn.." she shared, motioning to Jeremiah "Belly's the sporty one and.." she added on "let me guess your the princess?" Belly asked "am I wrong?" Diana asked "well I was gonna say bitch." Conrad shared, as Diana leaned forward, punching him in the arm "ow! I'm driving!" Conrad voiced, as all of them laughed.

"Too be far Belly jumped at the chance too." Conrad informed them "because I've never seen a snowy beach." Belly shared "me neither." Conrad shared "so that's something all of us have in common." Jeremiah shared "and last time I checked the weather app, there was only a thirty percent chance of flurries, but hopefully we'll get lucky." Conrad shared "and that's why your the brains because who else in this car checked the weather." Diana shared, as they all laughed.

Jeremiah then leaned toward's Diana, Diana turned and looked at him and as she did, her nose brushed against his "I can't wait to give you your Christmas present." he told her, and as he did, Diana smiled "well I think you're gonna like my Christmas present a little more." she shared, as Jeremiah raised his brows "oh really?" he asked her, as Diana hummed, leaning in and kissing him on the lips and as she did, Jeremiah kissed her back, bringing his hand up behind her head, knowing Conrad and Belly were to into their own conversation to pay attention to the two of them as they began making out.
