♥︎ T H I S L O V E ♥︎ |Jeremiah Fisher X Y/N|

『𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝟏』

𝐘/𝐍 𝐏𝐎𝐕:

Every summer at Cousins feels like a dream.

 Me and my family have been going to the Fisher's beach house since we were babies.

I keep a calendar to count the days until i'm on the drive there. It's magical, the black and white movies, the pool, and of course, the Fisher brothers. Belly has had a crush on Conrad for years, it was the same with me for Jeremiah but i've realised that I need to move on.

 'Belly don't bring that Speedo, it doesn't do a thing for your new boobs!' Taylor looks at the swimsuit in disgust

. 'It's not a speedo' she says, lying straight up to our faces. 'I'm just saying .. you need to pack cuter things babes.'  'Well it doesn't matter anyway, we buy a swimsuit when we get there.' 'Okay.. well just please don't buy one that looks like you're trying out for the swim team. I scoff, quite loudly. We all start laughing.

 Belly's laughing is infectious, no one could survive from it, she says it's the same with me. 'How long do you think we ha-' 'Girls! We're going in 10 minutes!' Mom shouts from downstairs. 'C'mon bells lets get going' 'WAIT, don't! She said soon!' 'I need to know something before you guys get going.' 'Yes?' 

'You guys need to tell me your summer wishes, like the one thing you want to happen this summer!' 'I don't know' says belly, looking down at her bags. 'You little liar! Yes you do!! You  want to snog Conrad, and Y\N we all know you're lying about that 'Getting over Jeremiah thing. 'I'M NOT LYING!!!' Taylor and Belly both burst into laughter as i huff a little. 'It's fine Y/N,i believe you.' 'Even though it's a lie' Whispers Taylor, standing up and closing the drawer. 'I know that' Retorts Bells. 'HEY!!' Before we could start laughing again I hear other shout. 'Belly! Y\N! It's time to go, say goodbye!' 'I guess i'm just worried that Conrad will treat me like his little sister..' 'Oh they'll definitely see you, even you Y/N with your 'Jeremiah pact, because both of you look completely different, you've matured mentally, and physically..' I giggle at that remark. We both grin at each other.

The drive to cousins is an amazing part of it, I could already feel the hot summer nights, smell Susannah's 4th of July barbecue. 'OHH YOU CAN'T DO BETTER' Oh, yes i'm listening to belly's horrific singing, I can deal with it though, and i have been for many years. I sing at the top of my lungs with belly because, why not?

'.. do you guys mind turning the music down a bit?' mom says, obviously showing on her face she's going to have a migraine if it gets any louder. 'Yes, please' Steven adds. Belly turns down the music, scrunching up her face to Steven. ' I want you guys to be better about helping out this summer. Like , don't leave your dishes in the sink, load them into the dishwasher, and not just your own dish, Steven.' 'What? But I..-' I can tell Steven has no idea how to respond so he waits for someone to talk over him. Mom huffs. 'I just want you to be good houseguests.'  '... mom, Susannah has people who clean for her doesn't she?' 'Steven!' mom reaches out from the backseat and whacks him on the head. I snicker. 'Ow! Fine, sorry.' Mom has always been weird about money especially with Susannah , because she seems to have a lot while we.. don't.

'Just be considerate and act like I raised you right, that means not staying out late, Steven.'

'Heyy! I'm way too old to be having a curfew!!' 'Wait, mom do me and Belly have to have a curfew?' Steven laughs at that. 'You guys don't even need one, you don't go out at all anyway, just stay in your rooms gossiping about-' 'I think it would be a good idea if you stopped talking.' I add. Steven knows about our crushes (well my old crush) and he swore not to tell, but he's being risky. 'Steven don't be a jackass.' Mom replies, oblivious of what just happened. 

'Y/N, Belly, we'll talk about it when something comes up.' Sure, I think to myself.

We stop at the gas station, finally, i'm starving (well I always am.. but still) I grab some ready salted crisps, soda and some Swedish fish whilst belly gets a bucketful of sweets, (mostly for a stash we keep in the summer house to snack and gossip) and an Iced tea. I look at the counter to see if there's any gum but instead spot the Cashier staring at us. I think it's weird because i never get looked at really, unless i've dropped something or fell over (I'm very clumsy, ok?) 

'Hey'

 He says while both of us drop our snacks at the counter. He gives me the ick already. 

'Are you guys.. new here?'

 'No' i reply, bluntly.

 'Huh, I thought I knew every pretty girl in Cousins' He says with a smirk. Belly blushes, (even though I can tell she doesn't like him) and I stare at him waiting to take the cash i'm holding out. He gently pushes my hand down and asks me: 'Are you guys coming to the bonfire tonight?' He's tapping his fingers on the counter out of anticipation. 'No? Didn't know there was one' I said, changing my tone because I was interested.

'You should definitely come! I'll introduce you guys to my friends.' 'Hmm, maybe we will' I say, maybe this could be a chance to , meet a guy I guess, and fully get over Jeremiah. He finally takes my cash whilst I hear mom creeping up behind us. And talks about Whale of a Tale and how we should come and book sign with her. 'Mom i don't really think-' 'Y\N remember when you and belly would take turns drawing little Whales on every book I signed? You insisted on doing it!' 

'N-no mom I don't think I remember doing that' She smiles and laughs a little, feeling embarrassed. 'How about I make you guys a deal. I'll let you pick out tonight's dessert if you come and keep me company.' She says while walking towards the door , signalling that we should get going. I grab the tote bag we bought and pile the sweet stash and snacks into the bag. 

'I'll see you guys later' The cashier says. 

'What's later?' Mom asks.

'Nothing!' I reply quickly, and she seems suspicious about it. 

There it is, the smell of nostalgia. 

The smell of the beach.

the smell of home 

The car is slowly pulling up to the beach house, and i'm so excited. I'm so proud of myself for getting over that Cru- Fuck, i'm not getting over that crush at all. 

!AUTHOR'S NOTE! Sorry for leaving you guys on a cliffhanger, don't worry, you'll probably not see this until the next part comes out, which i'm writing as soon as i finish this note. Hope you're having a lovely day/night! also, sorry for any spelling mistakes,<3 Love, Mia.
