"You know I'm almost afraid to say it out loud but I'm feeling hopeful I mean my moms always been pretty good at schooling your dad."Belly exclaimed

"Thank you for calling Laurel.I meant to say something earlier but then-It feels good to have her here helping us out."Drew stated

"Yeah.Yeah."Belly repeated as she began to walk away

"Can we talk about last night?"Drew asked the girl

"Honestly last night was uh kind of a blur whatever whatever I said-"Belly began

"You were right.I never should have ended things like that.And the fucked up thing was that I thought I was doing the right thing by you."Drew sighed

"You you were going through a lot."Belly defended

"But that is no excuse.And I hate the thought of you looking back on the night that we spent here together and regretting what we did."Drew admitted

"Of course it hurts to think about that night but I don't regret it.I don't regret any of the times we were together.I loved you and I know you loved me too."Belly stated

"If I could go back if I could do things differently I would."Drew sighed

"Drew it's okay.I mean we both hurt each other a lot."Belly admitted

"And I don't ever want to hurt you again."Drew exclaimed

"I don't want to hurt you again either.I mean I don't know if it's something we can control but um we can try.Friends?"Belly laughed causing Drew to smile as she pulled him into a hug and she shortly pulled away and walked off leaving the boy by himself.

The group made their way towards the kitchen where Adam and Laurel were going to talk about the house

"Thanks for coming all this way to back me up.They haven't been making it easy on me."Adam spoke up

"Oh I'm not here to back you up.I'm here to back up the boys.You can't let them lose this house Adam."Laurel argued

"Well it's done.Julia sold it."Adam defended

"Actually I um changed my mind hi."Julia spoke up as she entered the kitchen

"Okay Well let's get something straight here I'm not letting them lose anything.This has been out of my hands since the start so don't go making me the bad guy here."Adam scoffed causing Conrad to go forward only to be held back by Jeremiah

"I'm not making you out to be anything.I'm trying to help you."Laurel defended

"Let someone else try to solve a problem for once."Jeremiah whispered to Conrad

"So what? You're just gonna dissolve the trust and gift the boys the beach house."Adam scoffed

"No she can't do that.She has a child of her own to consider."Laurel sighed

"Yeah well I'm not gonna squander their trust to buy this house and frankly I'm surprised that you would support that."Adam argued

"When did I ever say that? I just want you to move some money around to buy it for them."Laurel exclaimed

"What?"Adam questioned

"Fair market value terms negotiable of course."Julia stated

"I think I'm im gonna go now because that's that's not happening end of story."Adam scoffed

"Uh you know what? I have a question for you why is it that those boys have been trying harder for the last three days to save this house then you have in the last several weeks?"Laurel questioned
