HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JC CHASEZ! 💿 8 AUGUST 1976

I feel like there’s a lot of anti-belly sentiment, and I’m not there because the girl is so young and grieving and her first love, of her whole life was entangled in grief and losing a friendship and it’s just a lot when you’re young.

But if I could give her some advice it would be, sweetie take a breath! It feels like she has to pick between Conrad and Jeremiah in that one week but she doesn’t! The timeline is so short! Like what, prom happened in May? Susannah dies a few weeks later, a month before the season? That’s not long after any breakup to start something new with anyone much less your lifelong friend and ex’s brother (when everyone involved is grieving).

If you are feeling things for Jeremiah, that’s great. I love Jeremiah, he is straightforward in his feelings, which is honestly a huge gift as you learn when you get older, and he adores belly and she has so much fun with him. That can absolutely be a solid foundation for a relationship, but baby girl, you don’t have to make out and start dating immediately. He’s not going anywhere. It might be a good idea to take a breath between getting wasted and having tearful confrontations with your ex/his brother, and starting something new. Jeremiah has loved her for years and tells her he wants her to be sure. If she asked to stay in close touch, give them both some room to grieve, be there for each other as friends and then start something, I think he would have said yes!

But I know TV shows don’t work that way, and to be fair teenage brains and hormones don’t work that way either but all I want for these kids is just someone to tell them it’s ok to take a breather and think through how you feel before jumping into something so complicated with people you’ve know and cared for your whole lives.

I had a feeling this might come up at some point. In my opinion, jere is never going to be the ‘safe’ option. There’s so much more to lose with jere if it weren’t to work out/ they’ve been best friends for ages and they’re such a rock solid important relationship in each others lives. Belly ‘knows this boy better than anyone’ she’s Jeremiah’s ‘best friend’ he can read belly’s mind but really he can just ‘read belly’. Her and Conrad don’t have anything close in comparison to their relationship. If it weren’t to work out with jere, belly would lose her world. If it weren’t to work out with Conrad, belly would just lose Conrad.

I think the conversation that laurel had with belly has been taken way out of proportion. Laurel never describes John in a negative way, she describes him as ‘like curling up in front of a warm fire where you know you’re safe’ or something like that. Idk about anyone else, but that sounds rather lovely. But I don’t think that John and laurels relationship is supposed to represent belly and Jeremiah’s anyway. If anything, the ‘safe’ option would be cam Cameron. Laurel described having another love that ‘burned too bright’ and what happens if you’re in a fire that burns to bright ? You get burned. You get hurt. This is the Conrad/belly reference.

Susannah was the love of laurels life and vice Versa, wether they realised it or not, and this is where I see so much of Jeremiah and belly. Plus, so we all remember that scene where they were high and it was jeremiah that found them and he called belly to laugh at them. They watched them both together, laughing and smiling. And I’m that moment, belly and Jeremiah were a literal mirror of laurel and Susannah. Laurel has called Susannah her ‘soulmate’ before I’m pretty sure, and this is what makes me more sure about the mirroring.

Both Jeremiah and Belly and Laurel and Susannah are best friends, love each other endlessly and are the happiest when around the other.

I’d also like to mention the little part that Laurel read from her book where she said that Susannah ‘dropped everything’ to be with her for belly’s birth. I would now like to mention Jeremiah’s ‘I’ll always come and get you’ to belly. is anyone else SEEING THIS ?!!!

Jeremiah is in no way the safe option, because there’s so much more riding on him and belly being together. If they don’t work, they lose the one thing that’s always made them happy and at peace in the world. If they work, they get the love of their lives.

That how Belly describes Jeremiah in the third book :

"I watched him make his way through the crowd, feeling proud I call him mine. My boyfriend, my Jeremiah. The first boy I had ever fallen asleep next to. The first boy I ever told about the time I accidentally walked in on my parents doing it when I was eight. The first boy to go out and buy me Midol because my cramps were so bad, the first boy to paint my toenails, to hold my hair back when I threw up that time I got really drunk in front of his friends, the first boy to write me a love note on the whiteboard hanging outside my dorm room. He was the first boy I ever kissed. He was my best friend. More and more, I understood. This was the way it was supposed to be. He was the one. My one!"

"- Uh, fair warning, we have no idea how long those have been in the vending machine, so... (Jeremiah) - Yeah, all right, I'm good. (Belly) - There's two of you. I can sleep on the floor. (Belly) - No, take it. Ladies first. (Jeremiah) - Yeah... normally, I'd argue, on principle, 'cause what does me being a girl have to do with not sleeping on the floor? But I definitely saw a roach earlier. (Belly) -> I don't agree with Belly, if a boy let a girl sleep on the floor is a fucking asshole. - Night, Bells. (Jeremiah) - Good night." (Belly)

"- Beck is... was my best friend. It's so weird using the past tense. She died about a month ago. The memoir is really about our friendship. I always said she was my real soulmate." (Laurel)

"- Belly? I didn't mean it. What I said earlier, I didn't mean it. I still want you. Of course I do. (Conrad) - Conrad.... (Belly) - You don't have to say anything. Not right now. I just wanted you to know that." (Conrad) "- When Susannah got sick again, no one told me right away. Not Conrad or my mother or Susannah herself. (Belly's voice over) - I'm gonna go ahead and warn you that she doesn't look good. She's tired. She's very tired. But she's excited to see you. (Laurel) - I'm excited to see her, too. I tried to get out of visiting her that last time. I hated myself for being afraid, but I wasn't like my mother, as strong and durable as steel. Seeing Susannah like that was gonna make it real. (Belly's voice over) - My favorite girl is here. Oh, you look... You look so pretty. (Susannah) - Let me take this. (Laurel) - Oh. No, I wanted... (Susannah) - You just stay here with Belly. I'll take it. (Laurel) - You're going? (Belly) - I have some things to do. (Laurel) - It's fine. (Susannah) - I'll get you some Pedialyte. (Laurel) - If you're worried about running into Conrad don't be, sweetie. He, uh... He's not here today. (Susannah) - Did he tell you? (Belly) - Please. That boy doesn't tell me anything. Your mom mentioned that, prom didn't go as we'd hoped. (Susannah) - We don't have to talk about it. It's not important. (Belly) - It is important. It's the most important. 'Cause you're important. You're my treasure. (Susannah) -> Honestly, you should excuse him for giving such a bad education and behiavour. - He broke up with me. (Belly) - Don't hate Conrad. (Susannah) - I don't. (Belly) - He's having a really hard time with all this. Please don't let him push you away. He needs you. He loves you, you know. (Susannah) -> Are you serious, what he needs is a fucking therapist. - No, he doesn't. (Belly) - He does. Do you love him? Will you do something for me? Look after him. Will you do that? (Susannah) - You won't need me to look after him. You'll be here to do it. (Belly) - Come here, honey. Come lie down. You're my special girl, Belly. (Susannah) - Mom? (Jeremiah) - Jeremiah. (Susannah) - I'll come back later. (Jeremiah) - I'm so sorry, Belly. (Susannah) - Why? I'm the one who messed it all up. (Belly) - No. It won't always feel this way. You'll come back together. I promise. (Susannah) - Me and Jere? Or me and Conrad? -> Did you notice that she mentioned Jeremiah first. - All of you. To each other. I love you, Belly. (Susannah) - I love you, too." (Belly)
