I walked into the kitchen and I heard Arguing from the kitchen. I had just woken up as well. I was about to walk in when I heard it was Jeremiah and Conrad.

"You kissed Aubrey? Are you serious?" I heard Jeremiah yell. My heart dropped when Jeremiah said that. They didn't know I was there.

"Jere look. I'm sorry okay but I like her! and-" Right before Conrad could finish Jeremiah cut him off.

"No. You fucking KNEW I Had a crush on Aubrey for Years! Since we were children! And you were always supportive. So don't pull out the I forgot bullshit because I fucking know you didn't like her before this summer. You couldn't even give two shits about her." Jeremiah was yelling with a firm but creaky tone. You could tell he was upset by his tone of voice. I wish I could go in there and stop it but I'm afraid if I do something worse will happen. Wait, Jere likes me? I thought confused. I was so confused at that moment.

"Jere .. come on," Conrad said quieter, looking at him, feeling bad. Jeremiah was tearing up.

"No! Don't even start with this shit." He said pointing at Conrad.

"I trusted you, Connie! You're my fucking brother and you go behind my back and kiss the girl I had loved for years and years! And not to mention you have a fucking girlfriend! Who does this shit!?" Jeremiah said looking at Conrad with an upset look. I could tell Conrad was feeling bad for what he did. Susannah walked into the kitchen.

"What's going on?" Susannah asked looking at her boys.

"I have to go I have to help Cleveland," Conrad said quietly but loud enough for them to hear, then he walked out of the room still upset. Jeremiah was upset. Susannah was looking at Conrad leaving and then her face softened even more when she looked at Jeremiah who was holding back tears.

"My Sunshine boy. What's wrong.." Susannah walked up to Jeremiah with her arms open then hugged him. He was hugging Her so tightly. His head was on her shoulder and he felt super safe in her arms and he sobbed into her shoulder.

"Jere bear please tell me, " Susannah said rubbing his head. She kissed his head softly and hugged him tightly. I always loved their bond. Jeremiah had been a momma's boy since he was a little boy. Jeremiah's face was on her shoulder. I couldn't listen to this anymore without feeling guilty even more. I walked up to my room. Later on, I was in my room cleaning it a bit. I saw Jeremiah pass my room to go to his room. I felt so bad for him that I wanted to talk to him so badly about it. I then walked over to his room and knocked on the door lightly after he closed it.

"Come in" I heard on the other side of the door. I walked inside and He looked away sighing.

"Jere, can we talk?" I said looking at him. He then let out another sigh and nodded. I closed the door slightly and then sat on the end of his bed with my feet hanging off.

"I heard your argument with Conrad..." I started while looking at the ground.

"Yeah, and you kissed him," Jeremiah said looking at me while nodding.

"Jere I didn't mean to hurt you. I swear. We both got so lost in the moment that we just kissed." I said turning my head to look at him. He looked away. The expression on his face was upset. I felt so bad. I looked down at the ground and shuffled my feet. I couldn't look him in the eye. I didn't know what to say. I wanted to say that I didn't want to hurt him, but I couldn't explain that because I didn't. And I didn't want to hurt Conrad either. I liked them both, but I didn't know what to do. I couldn't make up my mind.

"Well, you did. But I shouldn't be upset right? I don't care. We weren't even dating. I thought you liked me. We almost kissed at the beach or when we were dancing?" Jeremiah said looking at me with anger and sadness in his eyes. I let out a sigh. I screwed up.
