Today is the day I've been waiting for all summer.

The deb ball.

Once I woke up I drove back to the beach house to start getting ready.

Although I don't want to see Conrad right now I think it would be best to talk to him.

I pull up into the driveway and go inside.

"Welcome back, cmon we need to get you and belly ready to leave so you can start getting ready!"

Susannah exclaims.

"I'm all ready ready, I just need to find Conrad and then I'm good to go."

"Okay hon, I think he's in his room."

I smile and start to walk upstairs.

I take a deep breath at Conrad's bedroom door and knock.

"Mom I said I'm not hungry!" He yells.

"Uh- it's not Susannah." I say.

I hear him jumping out of bed and running to the door.

"Camila, thank the lord your back."

"Listen I need to go soon but I think we need to talk."

He nods his head and we go into his room.

I sit on his bed and sigh.

"I found the ring.." I mumble.

"What, where was it!?"

"On Shayla's bedside table."

"That's perfect, so we don't have to argue anymore!"

I was confused

"So if I came in here and told you that the ring was still lost, your plan was to.. argue?"

"No no not like that-"

"I just wanted us to go back to normal but-"

"Okay Camila don't start this. You're being dramatic again, you know I didn't mean it like that."

"Dramatic? You yelled at me because I lost a ring you gave me."

"It's not just a ring cam."

"I need to go, we can continue this after the ball."

I get up off of the bed to leave when he grabs my hand.

"Camila please let me take you-"

"Conrad just leave it, it's not like you even wanted to go anyways."

I storm out his room, grab my dress and get in the car with belly.

His pov

One thing about me is I never cry.

But when I see Camila dancing with my brother.

Shedding a tear will be the least of my worries.

It breaks my heart to think that she can't even finish a conversation with me without us

fighting.

I wish I didn't yell at her.

I cannot lose her.

I go down to see Jere when I see him out by the car with Camila.

I peek out the window and see him hugging her.

ugh.
