This Summer Ends with Us

Chapter 01: Infinity

Belly's POV:
As we emerged from the cold but comforting ocean water we couldn't help but laugh and smile. I looked into his fogged over blue eyes something I had done many times before, but this time was different because he wasn't just the boy I aimlessly loved, Susannah's son, Jeremiah's brother, he was mine.

The sky grew darker and we knew we needed to head to the reception but we both felt comfort in the position we were in currently. No rules no expectations just us, together. We struggled to find our way out of the water, me mainly, as my dress kept getting sucked into to each wave and current. Finally Conrad picked me up carrying me out bridal style of course, and walked over the sand placing me on the pavement. "I suppose we don't want sand on the dress" he said in a joking manner. Sand was nothing compared to our drenched clothing. We stepped in the car soaking, not thinking to have brought towels and headed off the the reception.

As we arrived people quickly noticed our soaking hair and drenched clothes. Taylor flew up to me in a raged manner looking at my dress in disbelief. "It okay Taylor" I reassured her. "The dress will dry" she gave me a baffled look and started to say something but refrained. It was my day, well our day me and Conrad, and even Taylor could appreciate something as important as that, so she left me be and headed back to the party.

The building was gorgeous all decked out, we merged our way up the middle of the floor hand in hand as I embraced myself for the first dance. I was excited yet scared for this moment, to have everyone stare at us, noticing every imperfection or mess up. Suddenly I began to regret our swim earlier it only brought more attention to us. Seemingly so Conrad noticed my fear and squeezed my hand harder assuring me it would be fine. I leaned in closer as the song began to play, "what if I fall, don't let me fall" I whispered softly, to quiet that I feared he hadn't heard me but he did, he always did. "I wasn't bell when have I ever let you fall?" He smiled and kissed my check before pulling me into his arms, his hand gesturing down to my lower back. He was right he had never let me fall, not in all my dumb underaged drunk moments or even earlier in the water, he was already there to catch me. We began to dance first a simple waltz but then our rhythm changed, I knew exactly what he was doing. And we began to shag like we once did in the living room of the beach house, when he first thought me.

Soon enough the night was over and people began to leave all stopping to hug us or say congratulations. I was sat down my heels off watching the lights fade and the music soften, a moment I never wanted to forget.

Jeremiah's POV:
I stood on the far corner of the room watching her, my belly who was now his. I couldn't help but feel this bittersweet feeling knowing this was almost us, though I could never give her a wedding quite like this, the wedding she always wanted deep down. Her was frizzy now only a few ringlets remained still dripping slightly. The night was ending and I knew I needed to leave but I couldn't move every inch of me still wanted her after all this time I still ached for her. I straightened up and headed over to them, something I was dreading. As I got closer I tilt my head and half smiled avoiding eye contact I congratulated them and headed away.

Belly's POV:
Jeremiah had congratulated us he even smiled but I knew it was fake, all that had happened between us wouldn't change the way that I knew him. I stood up slightly wobbling and rushed over embracing him in a half hug. "Thank you for coming jere, I know it was hard but it meant a lot." Suddenly I could feel his arms interlock with mine, hugging me back he whispered "I just want you to be happy" and then he was gone.

I walked back over to Conrad who was hugging my mother, as they pulled apart I could tell she was crying. She said something and he nodded glancing up at me and back down to her, he hugged her once more and walked away leaving just us. My mother and I. "Belly" she broke off wiping away and tears left, "I can't believe my baby is married, I know he will take care of you. This is how I wanted it to be, this is how I always knew it would be." She paused reading my face carefully, "regardless, if you ever need me I'm here I'll always be here remember lemon jelly belly" she laughed. "Text me it and I'll come right away my sweet girl." I ran and hugged her tightly. "She would be proud of you, of this night, of you and him" I knew who she was talking about, Susannah of course. Suddenly tears fell from my eyes. I nodded, "I know"

I headed outside to find Conrad standing there, my heels in one hand and a pair of slippers in the other. "Taylor would kill me if she saw you wearing these but I know your heels aren't the most comfortable things to wear." I knelt down picking my dress up and ran to him, hugging him tightly, our lips connecting. "Thank you." I began to grab them from him but he jerked his arm back, "I don't think so Mrs. Fisher" he said smiling as he knelt down sliding the slippers on each foot, "Mrs. Fisher" I repeated. "I like that, I love that" he stood back up pulling me in "I'm glad because it's never changing, you are and always will be bell- Isabel fisher, my wife, my infinity" he kissed me once more before grabbing my hand and leading me to the car. His infinity. His wife. I was his and he was mine, we were one, we were infinity.
