SEASON ONE, EPISODE ONE: summer house

TABITHA AND Conrad were still sat next to the water, making out with each other as Belly watched from afar.

        "Do you want a drink?" Conrad asks his girlfriend.

        "Yes, please." She smiles at him as he gets up and places a kiss on her cheek.

        "I'll be back!" He smiled down at Tabitha.

        Tabitha sat and waited on her phone as she looked through old photos of her and Conrad. As she looked for her boyfriend, she saw him yelling at one of the guys.

        "No, give me my beer back. I paid for this." Conrad said, reaching for the drink in the guys hand.

        "Conrad, stop. It's not that big of a deal. You're drunk." Tabitha tried to stop him from getting into any fights tonight. "We'll just get another one."

        "Maybe you should listen to your lady." The guy said.

        "No, I'm fine, I'm fine. Fuck you, bro."

        Tabitha notices Belly walk up to the scene as the two boys are shoving each other.

        "You guys!" Tabitha yelled trying to get their attention, but as she walked closer, Conrad's arm flung back and hit her in the face.

        "Tab!"

        Jeremiah runs over to the girl who's laying on the ground and holds her arms to help her sit up. "Are you okay?" He asks, examining her face.

        She nods lightly as she looks back at Conrad who is now fighting the other guy. "I'll be right back." Jeremiah tells her. He runs over to break up the fight as he hears the cop sirens.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

❝COME ON. Get in the car." Jeremiah instructed Conrad. "Watch your head. Legs, legs."

        "Yes, I know how to get in a car." Conrad complains. "Where's Tabitha. I need her."

        "I'm right here, Con, just sit down." Tabitha says.

        She sits down next to Conrad in the back seat. She lays her head on his shoulder and closes her eyes. "I love that you're here." Conrad mumbles.

        "Me too." She smiles up at him.

        "You're so pretty." He says just above a whisper, making the girl blush.

        The two were brought out of their moment when the car suddenly came to a stop. "Fuck! Steven! Watch Conrad. I'll be right back." Jeremiah says to Tabitha resulting her to give him a thumbs up.

"I love when your hair is like this." Conrad tells the girl next to him.

Belly believes he talking to her. She smiles and looks into the rearview mirror only to be met with Conrad staring down at Tabitha.

"Thank you." She chuckles then puts her fingers through his hair and kisses his cheek.

There was then knocking on the window, startling the three teens in the car. "Have you kids been drinking?"

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

❝HOW COULD you guys be so irresponsible?" Laurel asks the five teens in front of her.

"Mom," Steven starts. "it wasn't a big deal. All right? Seriously. The cops were just looking to break up the bonfire." He explains.

"Not a big deal?"

"Yes."

"I would say getting picked up by the cops for underage drinking is a pretty big deal, Steven."

Steven scoffs. "Were — were you guys smoking tonight?"

"What? Keep your voice down Susannah's asleep on the couch."

"What, I wasn't yelling. Well, you — you — you were."

"Just so you know, Laurel, I — I didn't drink tonight." Jeremiah stepped forward to let her know. "I was the DD, I swear."

"You're the oldest." Laurel looks over to Conrad who is sat next to Tabitha on the bench with us arm around her and her head on his shoulder, practically about to fall asleep. "What the hell's gotten into you? And when did you leave the house without telling anybody?" Her eyes move towards Belly. "And what in the world are you wearing?"

"It's Taylor's. And why am I the only one who's not allowed to go out. And why aren't t you getting mad at her!" Belly said looking towards the now sat up Tabitha. Everyone looked that girls way, completely confused as to why Belly brought up Tabitha.

"One, it's not that you're not allowed it's that you should have told us you were going. And Tabitha is not my child and I just met her." Laurel rolled her eyes. "How did you even get to the beach?"

"I walked." Belly mumbled.

"Jesus." Laure breathed out. "You know better than to walk that far down the beach alone late at night."

"Can you stop treating me like a kid?"

"If you want to be treated like an adult, you need to act like one."

"Then maybe you guys should, too." Conrad spoke up. Everyone turning their heads to look Conrad's way.

"What does that mean?" When she doesn't get a response, she rolls her eyes. "I hope you realize, this night could have ended a lot differently if your family wasn't your family."

"We're sorry, Laur." Jeremiah says.

Laurel sighs. "Just... go to bed, guys."

With that, everyone stood up and made their way to their rooms. Laurel stops Conrad and Tabitha doesn't wasn't to interfere so she heads up to Conrad's room.

Before walking into the room, she makes a detour to the bathroom as Belly was walking out. "My bad." Belly said nervously.

"It's fine." She smiled down at the girl.

"And — I'm sorry for being up your name like that."

"It's totally fine." Tabitha chuckles. "I probably would've done the same thing. I probably have when I was fifteen."

Belly chuckles as well. "How long have you known Conrad?"

"Since we were ten."

"Oh? He's never really talked about you." Belly shrugs and Tabitha scratches the back of her neck.

"Well, I'm going to get changed. Good night, Belly."

"Night."
