AN: Just for your information, like always this will eventually be a Marissa/Alex pairing. If you're not a supporter I suggest hitting that back button now. (Malex Forever!) I'm just not sure how I'll get there quite yet. I don't own anything blah, blah, blah.
Marissa's POV
Thoughts in Italic
I found myself stuck at a three-way intersection. The obvious question was simple: did I want to go left, or right? But what many people didn't realize was that this simple decision… this every day choice was uprooted in something so much deeper than sense of direction. How do you decide when entire futures were hanging in the balance? And not just your own, but the people that you care about most in life.
Okay, take this step by step, I thought to myself as I was trying to decide. Left leads me deeper into the gated community of Newport, and right leads me towards the beach. Left takes me to a guy, and right takes me to a girl. Left brings me to Ryan, a great guy willing to give me his everything, and right brings me to Alex, the girl I had never imagined falling for but did so earnestly.
A honking noise interrupts my train of thought as the asshole behind me starts yelling. I'm forced to make a decision. Left, right, left, right. Boy, girl, boy, girl. Ryan, Alex, Ryan, Alex.
Fuck it, U-turn. Back towards the house of horrors and the she-devil I was trying so hard to evade. What can I say? I was never good at making decisions.
AN: Okay, this is something that popped into my head earlier. Totally random, and probably not any good. But if you readers like it, I'll add something to it. Chapters will get longer, this is just a quick Intro. So review it, tell me what you think. Should I continue? That's the real question.
