i walk outside and see her in the pool talking with conrad and jere.

"yo the bonfires in like 15 minutes were gonna be late cmon" jeremiah says to conrad

"wait i wanna go" she says

"oh the moms are setting up your movie night inside, we didn't know you wanted to go"

"evie are you going?" she asks me

"yeah jere invited me to go earlier, i didn't know we were having a movie night though"

i see an upset look on her face and i walk close to her as they both go inside

"just tell the moms you're gonna go to the bonfire! i'm sure they won't mind. i'm going with jere so if you want to get a ride there you should definitely go change we're leaving in like 10" i smile at her

it's been around 7 minutes and bels is still talking to the moms in her swimsuit, so i decide to tell them that we're leaving

"okay guys we're gonna leave, and bels if you change your mind about the bonfire i can come pick you up"

"no you can't missy, i'm not letting you drive at night" my mom says

i roll my eyes

"fine i'm sure that jere will come pick you up, or you can ride your bike" i smile and wave closing the front door behind me

i get into the back of jeres car next to conrad

the car ride consists of arguing who's gonna drink and who won't

"guys i can be the designated driver!" i say cheerfully

"NO." they all say in unison

"WOWWWW OKAY. i see how it is" i throw my hands up

as i get out of the car steven stops me

"what the fuck are you wearing?" he says

"a dress?" i shrug

"a DrEsS" he mocks me "that's a little small and tight don't you think?"

"god steven it's a beach i'll be fine. plus i have you on speed dial incase of an emergency"

jeremiah walks over and pushs the both of us towards the sand "no fighting"

...

yeah well that "no fighting" didn't go very well.
i'm talking to some guy when i hear conrad yelling

"ah shit. i'll be right back"

i run over to them and i attempt to pull conrad back

"EVIE. JUST STOP YOURE GONNA GET HURT" he yells at me

"YEAH WELL SAME FOR YOU CONRAD"

right as i say that the guy conrad's fighting shoved me to the ground with his elbow and i land harshly into the sand.

"aww did the pretty girl get hurt? he told you to stop." the guy says turning around to fight conrad again

this just makes conrad even more angry

my head starts pounding and i see belly rush over to me

"oh my god evie are you okay?" belly asks crouching down to check on me

"you made it!" i say

"yes but more importantly are you okay?!"

suddenly i see stevens face and a few strangers above me.

my heads throbbing and i just want to go home.

they help me stand up and grab me an ice pack when suddenly flashing lights and sirens start going off

"THE COPS!!!" i hear someone yell

everyone starts running and we rush back to the car and i see belly talking to some kid in a gray jacket

i put my head on the window holding ice on the bump forming on the back of my head

i honestly have no idea what's going on until i hear conrad speak up

"just get in the car bel"

and that makes me smile, since i know that conrad being even slightly protective of her made her heart flutter
