All I ever tried to do was help you understand and grow
Light the way for truths that if not for me simply wouldn't show
'Less you get somebody else who's on my level, but you know
That there's no one on my level, you gon' realize if you don't
I wish you would own up to your flaws
And just say that you're wrong when you're wrong
Instead of actin' like you're right, then it turns into a fight
Now you're stormin' out my house in the middle of the nightI'm tryna

Breathe
I'm not in love, it's just a game we do
I tell myself I'm not that into you
But I don't wanna sleep, it's quarter after three
You're in my head like, breathe
I'm not in love, it's just a game we do
I tell myself I'm not that into you
But I don't wanna sleep, it's quarter after three
You're in my head like

3:15 (breathe), Russ

After the very eventual shower Conrad and Violet made their way down to the dining room. Conrad had told her that his father would be calling soon and he wanted her there with him. He also talked to Jeremiah and was wanting him to sit with him on the call as well.

Violet was happy that both of the boys seemed to be getting along better, she knew that it was what Susannah would have wanted, and she also knew that they would help heal each other.

Violet leaned her head on Conrads shoulder as his hand ran up and down her arm. She wasn't sure how this call was going to go, but all she wanted to do was be there for Conrad and Jeremiah. She was broken out of her thoughts when Jeremiah came walking into the room, Amber and Clara walking in behind him, followed by Carter and Emily.

Jeremiah looked at his brother scratching the back of his neck, "I hope you don't mind... um, I just thought that they should be here with us. I mean, its there house as much as it is ours." He explained as he looked at the ground not wanting Conrad to yell at him.

Conrad shook his head, "No, it's okay, if you want them here that's totally fine." He said as he looked at his brother seeing him calm down. "Dad should be calling soon, if you guys want to sit down. Leon said that he would be over in a bit too."

Everyone nodded and sat around the dinner table, seconds later Leon walked through the door with his laptop in hand. He smiled at the kids and then moved to sit beside his daughter. "Good to see you all."

Isabel then came down stairs to see everyone sitting around the table. She wasn't sure what to do, she saw Leon, Conrad and Violet, going over things on the laptop. She saw Jeremiah talking to Carter. And then there was all the girls talking to each other, she wasn't sure where she fit in.

"Um, do you want me to wait up stairs so you can talk to your dad?" She asked looking at Jeremiah and then back to Conrad. "I don't want to intrude."

Jeremiah looked at Conrad who shrugged his shoulders. He may have not liked Isabel but she was here as much as the boys were and they didn't want to take that away from her.

Jeremiah nodded his head, "You can stay if you want, it is your house as much as it is ours." He said as he moved to sit down beside Amber. Just then the phone started to ring as Isabel pulled up a chair.

"Dad, hey." Conrad said as he grabbed Violets hand scared of what was going to unfold.

"Hey, uh, Son." He started to say, "Look, I only have a few minutes here. So,-"

"Hey, Dad." Jeremiah said with a small smile, hoping this could smooth over with his dad.
