Chapter 2!
"Mmm-hmm" I said as I past him.
I ran and jumped in the pool. Water surrounding me as I did each lap. I swam for what felt like hours. It felt so good just to get away from it all. I just wanted to get away from it, not for a minute, but forever. Sometimes I wish I could be with my brother, Susannah, and Mother. I wish I was able to laugh. I wish I could love. I wish I could have friends. Ever since Susannah left Taylor stopped talking to me. That made everything even worse.
I dropped out of collage the second semester. Mother got depressed, then she killed herself, and my big brother. He ment everything to me, he always had my back. Even though we fought, he looked after me.
I needed air, so I slowly swam to the top. I gasped for air when I come up, and started doing laps. I was kicking hard when I felt something solid. I looked at what I kicked, and realized it was Conrad. The boy who stole my heart and stomped on it, time after time. He looked at me with huge sad eyes. I felt sorry for him, but mostly I felt happiness. I mean, he finally showed an emotion!
"Hey," he breathed finally breaking our silence. "I'm so sorry. I didn't know."
"I didn't want to tell you." I said, a single tear rolling down my cheek.
"Dammit, Belly," He said a little louder. It kinda shocked me. But then again, this IS Conrad, hes so unpredictable. "Why wouldn't you tell me!"
"Stop." Jeremiah emerged from the simple house that held a lot of secrets. "You two always fight. Please just stop."
"Shut up man." Conrad said standing up and walking closer to him. "Stay outta this."
I've seen them fight, but not out of anger. Just for fun, and when it got too serious, they broke it off. But I don't think this is the case right now.
"I hate you, Conrad. You always hurt her." Jeremiah yelled, furious.
I realized this wasn't Jeremiah. This was some boy that was a little mad, not my best friend for all of those years. At least I hoped.
I didn't think Conrad saw it coming, because of the way his body jerked back. Jeremiah's fist connected with his perfect face so quick I thought it was a dream. But it wasn't. It was real. I gasped.
"Jeremiah!" I screamed. He looked at me with a shocked face. He couldn't believe he did that ether. Conrad. He just stood there. But I guess he figured out this was real.
He threw his fist into Jeremiah and soon they were on top of each other. I got out of the pool and ran to them. I slipped and fell, hitting my head. Hard.
"Go get the first-aid kit!" Someone yelled. Suddenly I blacked out.

Conrad's POV
We were fighting. Me and my brother. I still couldn't believe it.
I looked over for a second and saw Belly on the ground.
"Go get the first-aid kit!" I yelled to Jeremiah who saw who I was looking at. I rushed to her side.
