"Guys, so..." Skye says. They pulled Belly, Jeremiah, Conrad, and Liz outside. "I've been texting with my mom, and she was able to put a condition into the sale. Since the buyers are only gonna use this place as a vacation home, they've agreed to let you rent the place for one week every summer."

"Wait..." Jeremiah smiles

"Wait, are you serious ?" Belly chuckles

"We get to come back ? Oh, my God, Skye, this is amazing. Oh, my God !" He says as he hugs Belly. The girl laughs as he spins her around.

Liz sighs before she looks over at Conrad who looks unimpressed. "No, it's not. You can tell your mom thanks, but no."

"Come on, Conrad, at least hear them out." Belly says

"It's over."

"Why are you the only one that gets to make this decision ?"

"Jere, why would you pay another family to rent your house ?" Liz says

"This isn't our house anymore."

"Exactly. Let it go." Conrad says

"Yeah, 'cause you're an expert at that."

"Jere." Belly says

"No, no, this is the shit he does. When things aren't perfect, instead of trying to fix it, he just decides to throw it away. And it-it's not just the house. You did it to Liz, too." He snaps as he points at her. "You went to Dakota, you fucking begged him to talk to her so you can get together."

"Is that true ?" Liz says as she looks at Conrad. He refuses to make eye contact as he looks at Jeremiah.

"Jere, that was between me and Dakota." He says lowly

"Yeah, it's fucking true. You know, when shit got tough, he couldn't handle it, and he dropped you."

"Shut up, Jere."

"Don't use me to get at him." Liz spits as she turns to Jeremiah

"Liz, come on."

"You know what ? I don't want to be a part of this, okay ?" She nods before she walks off.

"Liz." Belly calls out. She sighs as Liz ignores her.

Liz breathes heavy as she walks through the house. She doesn't know what to do or who to turn to. Everything she thought about how Conrad truly felt about her wasn't true. She looks up as she bumps into someone.

"Woah." Dakota says, "Liz ?"

The girl looks up with teary eyes. "What's wrong ? What happened ?"

"Nothing." She says. She tries to walk past him, but he catches her arm.

"No, no, no, no. Tell me what's going on. Talk to me."

The girl sighs as the tears starts to fall. Dakota looks her over. "Liz."

"Did Conrad come to you about our relationship ?"

Dakota freezes as the girl looks up at him. His mouth opens and closes as he searches for an answer. Liz chuckles humorlessly as she turns away. He doesn't get a chance to respond before she walks off into the party.

Conrad walks down to the beach in search of Liz. He was already gonna go and look for her, but when Dakota came up to him frantic, he set off to the beach. He sighs as he sees her standing by the water. Swaying side to side with a bottle in her hand.

"Liz !" He yells. "Liz, come back inside. I'm not dragging your dead body out of the ocean if you drown out there."

Liz walks further into the water. "Come out of the water, Liz."

"Leave me alone." She slurs

"I can't." He says. When he notices she's not moving, he walks up behind her. She yelps as he tosses her over his shoulder.

"No. What are you..." She says as he walks out of the water. "No ! Hey, put me down !"

"You're drunk, Liz."

"Just put me down !"

"I'm not gonna put you down."

"Conrad ! Let go ! Let go !" She screams

"Liz..." The girl kicks her feet. He stops and lets her down, but she loses her footing and falls back.

"Come on. Let me help you. Come on." He says as he holds his hand out.

She smacks his hand away, "J-Just go, okay ?"

"I'm not leaving you, Liz." He says. He backs away as she stands up

"But you already did." She scoffs. "Why didn't you tell me you went to Dakota about us ?" She asks as she walks up to him. "Why ? Why didn't..."

"I don't know." He yells

"If I had known..." She points, "If I had known that you'd done that. That you cared that much about me, and about us..." She sniffles. "If I had known, then I would've fought for you."

Conrad frowns as the girl shakes her head. "What do you mean ? What do you mean ?

"Fought for us. I would've fought for us." She exclaims. "I mean, at prom and at the funeral. I mean, I..." She cries, "I would've been there for you, through everything. I would've been..."

"I thought you knew. I thought you knew." He says as he gets closer. Liz turns away, "From the moment we kissed on the beach, I thought you knew."

"Then why ? Why ? Why did you throw it all away ? Why ?" She pleads, "I thought that we loved each other."

Conrad looks away, "We did."

He looks at her as she deflates. Her breath hitches as she looks down. She wipes her face as she looks up. "I guess not enough."

She turns away and walks back up the beach leaving him there.

Liz stumbles up the stairs to her room. She falls down on her blanket, dropping the bottle beside her. She turns on her back as she brushes her hair out of her face. She sits up and grabs her phone off of the charger before she falls back on her pillow.

She squints as the screen comes on. She lazily taps her contacts and dials her mom's number.

She puts it to her ear as it rings. Her face scrunches up as she starts to cry. She sobs as it goes to voicemail.

"This is Megan Anderson. Please leave a message."

"Mom, I need you." Liz cries, "I'm at the summer house. Susannah's house, except it's not hers anymore, and everything is going wrong, and I ruined things with Conrad." She wipes at her eyes.

"Just come, please, okay ? Just come and fix it." She sniffles as she drops her phone beside her. She curls up with her pillow as she cries herself to sleep.
