Outer Banks & The summer I turned pretty
For Blair, it was almost like winter didn't count. Summer was what mattered. Her whole life was measured in summers. Like she doesn't really begin living until June, until she's at that beach, in that house...

OUTER BANKS PARADISE ON EARTH Two Tribes. One Island.
Still day 4 The doorbell rings. Twice. Just thirty minutes have passed after the bonfire. Blair and the others sit in the kitchen and pretend nothing happened. Everything is fine. The party was normal. As always. Of course, Belly wasn't there. She's upstairs in her room, as if she's been sleeping the whole time. Of course. Susannah is sleeping on the couch in the living room. She fell asleep several hours ago, says Laurel.
The door bell rings again and Laurel opens the door.
"Good evening." she nods slightly to the two policemen. "Good evening Mrs. Conklin" Deputy Shoupe greets the mother and looks past her in the hallway. "Do you have a moment, Mrs. Conklin?"
"Of course come in." Laurel steps aside and lets the two into the house.
Sheriff Peterkin clears her throat. "We heard that your minor teenagers drank alcohol at the Bonfire." Peterkin's expression is neural as she continues to speak. "And it was a shot with a gun."
Blair and the others try to listen to the conversation as best they can. "And it was a shot with a gun..." Peterkins voice is quiet in the background.
"fuck guys they talking about JJ" Blair says quietly and looks at everyone "JJ had a gun," Blair whispers with clenched teeth and leans forward to the others at the table. "He held the gun to Topper's head." Also says Conrad "if I catch this Pogue bastard istg-."
"What no?" Jeremiah looks at his brother in shock. "You won't mess with JJ again." he speaks in a quiet tone so that the policemen don't notice that they are sitting next to them in the kitchen. "He deserves it," Conrad hisses with clenched teeth. "I'll kill him."
"GUYS!" Blair looks at Conrad and Jeremiah in warning. "No one is killing everyone here!"
"He started." Conrad defends himself and his voice sounds angry.
"Can y'all shut up? I want to hear what Mom is discussing with Shoupe." Steven warns everyone and holds his breath to better understand what is being said in the hallway.
"Okay. I'll be right back." says Laurel and the four hear footsteps coming into the kitchen.
"Act like you're busy!" Steven whispers and appraises an apple. Super unobtrusive, Steven.
Blair turns around in the chair and looks at a potted plant standing next to her at the window. Everyone pretends to be busy with something and when Laurel comes into the kitchen everyone looks at her at the same time. "Oh Laurel!" Jeremiah grins. "Who was at the door?"
