Chapter 7
The next call I got from belly was 5 hours later. I of course picked up immediately. "Hey you make it there?" I asked. "Ya I did" she sounded drained. "Did you find him?" I asked. "Ya we did" she said again still sounding upset.
Did I really want to ask her what was wrong this could blow up in my face. But she was my sister and she was upset and I cared about her so I took a deep breathe and asked. "What's wrong?" As soon as the words came out I wanted to take them back.
"Conrad and Jeremiah hates me I need to go home please come get me" she begged. "You want me to come get you?" I ask. "Yes please em I can't handle it" she says. "Fine I'll be there as soon as I can" I say.
I had to go get her I couldn't just leave her there after she begged for me to come get her. What was I gonna tell my mom.
I went downstairs "mom can I stay the night at Baileys?" I asked hoping she would not see through my bullshit. "Ok have fun honey" my mom gave me a little smile. I haven't seen her actually smile since Susannah died.
Even though I wanted to stay with my mom I knew Belly needed me to move quick. I took my duffel with a change of clothes and headed towards the door.
I stoped by Baileys hoping she would somehow talk me out of driving to cousins to pick up my twin sister.
When I walked into her house she was not alone. Both Ben and Noah were hanging out in her room.
"Hey em" Ben smiled at me. "How was your sleepover?" Bailey asked. "Ya was it fun!" Noah asked wiggling his eyebrows. "It was fun but not that fun!" I pointed to Noah. Ben laughed. "So happy you haven't let him in your pants" Ben says.
"Wait you and Nick haven't fucked yet!" Noah asked in disbelieve. "No it just hasn't felt right" I shrugged. "Well don't push it listen to your body" Bailey smiled at me. "Ya maybe Nick isn't the right person" Ben shrugged. I gave him a look and he just smiled at me.
Ben had never liked me and Nick being together. When we first got together he told me that he loved his cousin but he was not good in realshinships. He still has not warmed up to it completely
I changed the topic quickly. Now was not the time. "Bailey I told my mom I'm staying here tonight I have to go pick belly up from cousins" I say.
Baileys eyes go wide. "Why is belly in cousins? how did she get there?" Bailey asked. "Conrad ran off so belly took a bus to brown to find him she met up with Jeremiah and they found him at the beach house in cousins" I explained.
"Damn that is some soap opera type of drama" Nick said eyes going big. Ben had filled him in on last summers drama so now he was obsessed as much as Ben. "So we are coming with you to watch this unfold" Ben says.
"My life is not a tv show" I rolled my eyes at the two boys. "Your right it's not we are coming to support you in case something goes wrong" Bailey reassured me.
I smile at my best friend. I know that she really is wanting to see what happens but her reinsurance was what I needed. Bailey was my rock. I was not sure I would be able to see Jeremiah without her support. As for the boys they had a way of distracting me and I needed that.
"Ok well let's go before belly changes her mind" I say. "Wait your letting us all come!" Ben asked shocked. "Yes but do not make me regret it" I say pointing at the two boys. "We will be good we promise" Noah smiles sweetly at me. I roll my eyes at him. "You boys are like toddlers I swear" I say shaking my head at the boys. "Well come on we are wasting day light let's go" Ben says pulling me towards the door.
