My family's been going to Susannah's beach house in Cousins every summer since I was a baby. Since before I was even born. All year long, I count the days until I'm in that house. It was my favorite place. Our dads come to visit, but it's not their place. They don't belong to it. Not the way we do. The mothers and us kids.

The summer house is made up of lots of things. The beach. The swimming pool late at night. Movie nights with the moms. But the boys. The boys most of all. Jeremiah and Conrad. My sister, belly, would constantly talk about Conrad to me I was the only one who knew how much she liked him. Only because she was the only one who knew how much I liked Jeremiah. I always had a thing for the both of them but Conrad was off limits, belly liked him and I would never do that to her and I'd like to think she's never do that to me.

My stomach did flips as Steven drove, I sat next to my mom while belly jammed out in the passenger seat. My mom called out to them at some point but I was too nervous to pay attention to what she was saying. The cousins beach sign zipped past the window as we drove past it. This only meant they were almost to the house. The car stopped and they all piled out of the car as the door to the house swung open

"What's up?" Jeremiah asked as he stepped out of the house

"Hi. Oh, my go-" mom walked to Jeremiah

"Hello." He pulled her onto a hug "Long time no see."

"Good to see you." Susannah called out as Jeremiah moved to steven then to belly

I finally shut the door the the car after grabbing my phone, Jere's head turned to face me before smiling opening his arms wide as he walked towards me

"Jereee" I walked forward and wrapped my arms around him as he suddent picked me up before setting me down

"Jere, Jere, Jere... Come over here." Steven called out "come on."

I watched with a smile as he walked away

"I liked you better with glasses." Conrads voice was heard on my left making me turn to face him talking to my sister

"Too bad. I like me better without them."

"Hey, hey, guys, guys." Steven called out "I mean, I-I don't know about you, but I... Well, I-I think it's time for a... For a-"

"Belly flop!" Jeremiah and Steven yelled as they ran after her

She sequeled as she tried to run away but the three of them caught her picking her up and carrying her away. I followed behind them to the backyard. They always did stuff like this to belly, sometimes I was jealous but it was probably dumb to be.

Belly screamed as the boys went to the side of pool

"Belly flop! Belly flop!"

"One... Two... Three!" The three of them threw her into the pool

I stood smiling softly as I watched belly surface

"You didn't think we forgot about you did ya" Jeremiah turned to face me and my stomach dropped

"No. Don't. "

No it was definitely dumb to be jealous.

I went to run but Conrad grabbed me. I wiggled free and was for only a few seconds before Jeremiahs hands landed on my hips before they snaked forward and he grabbed me by my waist causing me to freeze. In the seconds of me not fighting back he threw me over his shoulder.

"Jeremiah Fisher you better put me down right n-" I took a breath in as I flew through the air before the water inevitably consumed me.

I rose breaking the surface of the water glaring at him
