You know Conrad,Jeremiah and their mom Susannah very well because your mom Laurel is best friends with Susannah

You and your brother Steven and sister Belly have been going to the Beach House in Cousins every summer since birth. It was home. For all of you

You and your mom never got along and Conrad knew that because he was the one who’d hug you after you got into a fight with your mom during summer. Conrad has always been sweet to you, you were practically his best friend until this summer. You changed and so did he. You aren’t doing well as you did

Its already been a few days into the summer and Conrad drinks and smokes now? and he seems tired everyday? He’s different and somethings up. He still smiles now and then when he’s with you but most of the time he just drinks and stays away from everyone

His dad Adam came for the fourth of July to celebrate with everyone, you never liked Adam because he was never there for Susannah during Chemo and Conrad doesnt like Adam either because he found out Adam cheated on his mom during her chemo with his secretary

Currently you are in the kitchen with Adam and he’s talking about Conrad in ways you wouldnt stand to take while Conrad is outside standing by the seats next to railing smoking not knowing whats going on in the house while everyone else is at Laurel’s book interview but Conrad was busy coming inside the house but then he heard the scene

Adam:”Shut up, you dont know how Conrad has been! You only came this summer and you’re already defending him?!”

When his dad told you to SHUT UP he lost it and he went over to the scene and glared at his dad immediately when their eyes meet

“What did you just say to her?”
