"Jere." I stumbled. "Shh, Belly." He whispered. He lingered there on top of me longer then he should have and I laid there silently. I wondered if he could smell anything on me, I sure hoped not. I wrapped my arms loosely around his neck and I pulled his face closer to mine so that we were only an inch apart. I brought his lips to mine and we kissed passionately. I never felt this close to him before and I was starting to like it. He pulled away and I felt kind of disappointed. "Belly, this isn't you. I know it's not you. Have you been drinking lately?" He asked. "No." I slurred. "You're lying. I can tell. What has gotten into you?" Jeremiah replied. "Nothing." I scolded. I tried to push him off of me and well it didn't quite work as I was hoping it would. I sat up and moved around. I put on my shoes, went into the kitchen and I was just about to go out the back door when someone stopped me. "Where are you going?" He asked. I didn't even know he was sitting in the kitchen. "Does it matter to you where I go?" I snapped and took off. As soon as my feet hit the sand I just kept running, not sure where I was going or what I was doing. Tears stained my cheeks as I felt the icy cold water touch my feet. I wasn't going to go back not now at least and everyone seemed on to me and I hated it. I was always running from everything and it just felt good to me. The ocean felt damn good and I decided to go for a swim. I just jumped in and didn't even think twice about it. I was hungry, tired and I still had a hang over from last night. It started to rain and I shivered as I was coming out of the water. I sat on the beach for awhile not looking anywhere, but the ocean. I didn't even notice when someone wrapped something around me or when that someone sat next to me. I was so wrapped up in my own thoughts and everything else that I hardly noticed anything around me. "Come on let's get you home before you catch a cold out here." Someone said. I was freezing, but I didn't move or even say anything. Instead of waiting for me he lifted me up and carried me back to the house. "You gave me no choice." Jeremiah said. He carried me inside and I smelled hot food. "Belly, where the hell were you?" Conrad yelled. "Con, knock it off. This is not the time to yell at her." Jeremiah replied. "Your right. There's something we should tell her first." Conrad ventured.
