Taylor POV
I just stood there shocked after Jeremiah punched me. A minute went by and Anika and I were starting to get worried. I just couldn't stand watching Conrad get hurt, Belly loved him more than anything.
I started screaming and yelling "Jere, STOP!" He didn't listen so I went back in. Instead of my eye, he broke my nose this time. I sat on lounge chair not knowing what else to do. Anika brought me a tissue for my nose and ice for both.
"I don't know what else to do, Anika."
"I hope Belly will be back soon, but in the meantime I'm gonna do everything I can to stop Jeremiah."
Jere overheard, "don't even try." Just then Belly walked through the gates.
Belly POV
I walk through the gate and find Conrad given up, Jere beating the crap out of him, Taylor sitting on the lawn chair with ice, and Anika not knowing what to do.
"Oh my god!" I drop the ring, in our yard this time, and run over. When I get closer I see that Conrad is already starting to bruise and he's is bleeding like crazy. "Jeremiah Fisher! Stop!"
"No, Conrad's getting what he deserves."
I couldn't help myself now. I walked over and kicked Jere in the gut. He fell back a little then replied "nice try," and went back to beating up Conrad.
I didn't know what else to do so I went inside and picked up the phone. The screen read: 911.
"Hello, what is your emergency?"
"My cousin is beating up his older brother for God only knows what, my two friends and I have tried to stop him, but we just end up getting hurt."
"What is your location?"
"5 Peach Way in Cousins Beach."
"The police will be there shortly."
"Thank you."
I went back outside and J was still beating the crap out of Con, no surprise there. I walked over to Tay and Anika.
"What did Jere do to you?"
"He gave me a black eye and broken nose."
"Oh my god Taylor, I'm so sorry. Are you hurt?" I looked at Anika.
"No, I warned him before he could hurt me. He went to punch me, but I caught it."
"Nice."
"Yeah."
"So what were you doing inside?" Taylor asked. I whispered it in both their ears and they gasped, I just shook my head up and down.
Soon enough, I heard sirens coming down the road, I ran to the front with Taylor and Anika close behind. There were two cop cars and two ambulances, I waved them over.
The police got out of the car with the paramedics following. "Where are they?" one cop said.
"Out back by the pool," and I pointed behind me. They all ran and we followed them.
A total of four police came and they were all blowing whistles, Jeremiah stopped short when he saw them. A cop went over and hand-cuffed him. Were they going to arrest him?
The paramedics put Conrad on a stretcher and he moaned and winced. "Does it hurt to talk?" one of them asked.
"No" "Then we have a few questions for you while they talk to your brother."
A couple of the paramedics said Taylor should go to the hospital, so I told Anika to take her.
"You can take either one of our cars."
"Ok, I'll take mine, are you coming?" Anika replied.
"Hang on."
I went over to Con, "Is it alright if I go in the ambulance with him?"
"Can, what's your name?" "Belly." "Can Belly ride in the ambulance with you?"
Conrad replied, "of course she can, I love her."
"Seems like you can come, we'll be ready in a minute."
I walked over to Tay and Anika and told them I was going with Conrad and that I'd see them there. They left and I went over to Jeremiah, he had bloody fists. "Can you tell me his name and date of birth, he won't speak?" One of the officers asked me.
"Of course, his name is Jeremiah Adam Fisher and his birth date is May 25, 1993."
"Thank you miss."
"My name's Isabel," I held out my hand and she shook it. "Officer Laughner." A lady cop!
Finally Jere spoke, "am I being arrested?" I feared this question.
"Yes sir, until you see a judge." "Sorry, Jere, I'm sorry," I managed to spit out.
Great, just great! Jeremiah's going to jail, Conrad's in the hospital, and Taylor's in the hospital. *Sarcasm* this day is turning out amazing!
I went over and stood next to Conrad. I got asked the same question from the paramedics as I did Officer Laughner. "Hi, I'm Noah Brevlon," we shook hands. "Belly… I mean Isabel, Isabel Conklin."
"Yeah, so, I don't want to make him talk anymore than he has to, so can you tell me his full name and date of birth?"
"Sure, full name is Conrad Beck Fisher and he was born on August 5, 1990." "Thank you Miss Conklin." "Anytime"
"Ready?" The paramedic asked Conrad and I.
"Ready as ever!" And we got into the back of the ambulance.
In there, Conrad asked me who called the police. "I did," I told him. "Thanks."
Conrad was put in the emergency room right away because he looked awful. A nurse came in and asked me who I was to him. I replied, "I'm Isabel Conklin, his girlfriend." That made him smile.
"How long have you two been dating?"
"Why?"
"I'm sorry, I don't mean to be pushy, but just answer the question."
What do I say; do I lie or tell the truth? She doesn't know what we've been through, so I'll lie. "We've been together for three years."
"Ok, can I talk to you over there?"
"Sure." We walked to the other side of the room. "Are you a virgin?"
My mouth fell open, "um, no."
"Did he take it?"
"Yes, ma'am."
"Ok, you can stay or go."
"I'm gonna go, my best friend is in here, too. She's part of this situation." She pulled the curtain around Conrad.
Well, I guess it's gonna have to happen, the part I've been dreading. I stepped into the hall and called home.
"Hello?"
"Hi Mom, its Belly."
"What's up?"
"Is Steven home, I have some news that you're gonna want to hear."
"Yeah, he's in the kitchen."
"Is it just you and Steve or is someone else there?"
"Nope, just us."
"Ok, get Steve and put it on speaker phone."
I heard her call my brother, "hello?" It was Steven.
"Is it on speaker phone?"
"Yes, honey."
"Well, it's kind of a long story so don't interrupt me. Here it goes…"
