*she blows a kiss and walks away*
*the rehearsal is now over, it's now pretty late, around 7:00 and you just woke up from a nap*
*you look at your room and see that it looks a lot different, like a lot more emptier, you look at your jewelry and see that the necklace susannah got you is missing, you start panicking a little and then realize a lot of the stuff susannah gave you was gone*

*you hear no awnser, so you walk in and don't see him in there, you nock on Riley's and don't see her, you knock on Conrad's and don't see him, then you knock on stevens and don't see him, so you go downstairs and walk into the kitchen, no one is there, you start panicking a lot more and walk outside, no one is outside. You call belly and she awnsers*
You: Belly where the hell are you? And where is everyone?!
Belly: What do you mean? We went out to the boardwalk, we thought you didn't feel good so we left without you.
You: I never said I didn't feel good.
Belly: Riley told us you told her that. She also is wearing a lot of the things susannah had gotten you, I thought that was weird.
You: That little B***h!!
*you hang up the phone angrily and grab your shoes, keys, wallet and tell susannah and your mom*
You: I'm heading out for a drive.
Laurel: Honey?? I thought you went with the others, at least that's what Riley told me.
You: Well Riley is a B***h, and no she lied because she didn't want me to go for some dumb reason. And she stole my stuff!
Susannah: Be nice Y/n. I'm sure it was some misunderstanding.
You: I don't know, and don't care, if they ask where I went don't tell them, I'll be back when I get back

*you realize you just told jere you loved him*
*and then you text belly "I'll be home later, tell her to watch her back. XX 💋"*
*you text steven "I'll explain when I get back Stevie. I promise I'm okay, tell jere and belly I love them so much, and I don't know when I'll be back. Thanks big bro. Love you lots 💛"*
*your so upset so you just start driving all around town and then get out of your car and pull up to a clothing store, you pick out a few things and it's already 9:45, your getting tired so you get ice cream, you drive around for about another 2 hours and then pull up to the house, you don't walk inside though, you walk out onto the beach and sit there for another 3 hours by now it's 2 in the morning, you open your phone and see 100+ notifications from everyone*
*you walk back inside, jere, Steven, Belly and your mom are still awake so you try to sneak in but it doesn't work*
Jere: Oh my god!!!
*he picks u up and almost starts crying, you can see his eyes are red*
Jere: I was worried sick!! Oh I love you so much!
*you mom gasp*
You: I'm fine jere.
Belly: Where did you go?!?!??!!!
You: The beach, Town, nothing special.
*belly gives u the biggest hug*
Belly: I was so scared.
Steven: Okay yeah we were all scared and all but are you gonna tell us what the hell is going on???? And why the freak you just ran away for 6 hours?
You: Because Riley is a B***h! That's why!
*you try to walk upstairs but your mom grabs your arm*
Laurel: that's not how you handle your problems Young lady.
You: IM NOT A YOUNG LADY OR A LITTLE KID ANYMORE SO STOP TREATING ME LIKE ONE! AND LEAVE ME ALONE!
*you start crying and run upstairs*
*jere runs after you*
*you slam your door, and jere opens it softly*
*your crying on the floor and jere comes and lifts you up and sits you his lap so your crying in his lap onto his shoulder*
You: What Is her problem!! I didn't do anything! She can never let me be happy without ruining it all! I don't know why I even became friends with Riley!! I'm so dumb!
*you lay your head in the crook of Jere's neck and start sobbing really hard, he just rubs your back and kisses you on the head*
*about an hour goes by and your still sitting on his lap and slowly belly and Steven walk in, but you quit crying and you look up at jere, he looks at you with his pretty blue eyes*
*you kiss him*
Jere: Okay that was hot. But babe Tell me what is going on.
*you opened your eyes wide and thought "babe"*
*you kisses him soft this time*
Belly: Please Y/n, we're getting really worried.
You: It's Just Riley, she and Paige were best friends way before I was with Paige. And then Paige tried to sleep with Riley's Ex, Riley screamed at me because she said it was my fault, she hit me that day, I still have a scar.
*you show them the scar*
You: And then today when we saw Paige, she must've gotten really hurt or something because then she lied and stole all my stuff that was here this morning, no one else could have token it all. All the things from susannah. That she got me right before she got... diagnosed. And when she first got diagnosed, Riley would scream at me a lot and tell me how bad of a person I am, she then tried to lie to me once by saying that jere hooked up with some girl on Christmas and I had liked jere then and I cried all night. And she knows how insecure I am about a lot, like my weight, and my skin and my hair and she still brings it up every single day. And now she steals all my stuff and who knows where it is? But it's from susannah and it means so much to me and i need to get it back. And she lies to everyone because of some small memory that Paige brought back.
*you start sobbing in Jeremiah's arms agian*
Belly: Oh
Steven: My
Jere: God.
Steven: What the F**K!!!! I CANT HANDLE THIS RIGHT NOW NO ONE TOUCHES HER.
Belly: We're gonna fix this Y/n.
