A/N: Hey! Thanks already to everyone checking out this fic. I had started this in early August of 2004, but I wasn't satisfied with it. So, I decided to fix up the first two chapters. Work on all of my spelling and punctuation, I also redid some of the conversations. I hope you like it! Look for chapter three soon! XD

Summer Robert's eyes opened to the bright morning sunlight, her eyelashes fluttering like butterfly wings, her chocolate colored eyes hidden underneath them. She eyed her room and saw the same things as always...Everything was always the same. Perfect. She was flawless in the eyes of everybody she knew, she was the popular chick, the girl every single guy wanted...You would think she also wanted that but she didn't...No one really knew Summer Roberts.

Summer sat up in her bed, throwing her baby blue comforter off her body and planting her feet onto her off-white plush carpet..She erased everything she was apprehensive about when she saw the cerulean ocean outside the window in front of her. Smiling, she stood up and walked to her telephone about to dial her best friend, Marissa Cooper's number..But, she decided against that. She had never done that before in her life and was surprised with herself...What she really wanted to do is go see her boyfriend, Seth Cohen...If he even was her boyfriend anymore..After last night she wasn't sure that he even wanted to speak to her again.

Sighing, Summer walked over to her over-sized walk-in closet and started to choose her outfit of the day..Something bright and happy..So, she picked her ruby red, gold and orange sundress...Something..Well, Something Summer would normally not wear on a day like this....But, she wanted to wear the it..So, she put on the dress, threw on her flip-flops and pulled her long, raven black hair into a high pony-tail. No make-up today, she was going out as her true natural self.

It was very warm out...The sun shone through the palm trees, and reflected off the crystal clear ocean water. Teenage boys rode on skateboards and checked out the hottest girls walking around, not caring where they were going. Not caring that they might crash. All the pretty young girls smiled while the guys looked at them, It made them feel confident..Made them feel like they were wanted..Summer noticed all these things and tried to ignore it...She was focused on talking to Seth now and that was it.

It took five minutes, but finally Summer arrived at the Cohen household. She looked at it with sluggishness in her eyes. It had been the same since she had moved to Newport when she was seven...Tremendous and beautiful. Every side of the home was painted a pearly white which seemed to never get dirty. Summer had no idea how it had gone so long without getting at least a speck of grim or rust. Walking up to the front door, Summer rung the doorbell waiting for someone to answer...Anyone...Then the door opened, It was Kristen Cohen, mother of Seth...Wife of Sandy Cohen and daughter of millionaire, maybe even billionaire, tycoon Caleb Nichols..She usually looked happy and sunny faced, but today she seemed upset..very upset to be exact. Summer could tell by Kristen's puffy red and eyes and tear stained cheeks.

"Are you okay, Mrs. Cohen?" Summer asked, tilting her head

"Um..Yes Summer..Do you need something?" Kristen asked, wiping her tears

"Yeah. Is Seth around here?" Summer asked, putting her hands on her hips

"Seth?" Kristen asked, her eyes filling with more unwanted tears "You don't know where he is either?"

"No..Why? You don't know?" Summer asked, raising her eyebrow "We haven't seen him since the wedding ended last night..We thought he was upset about R-..About, well you know..We thought he would come back this morning, but he hasn't" Kristen said, her tears falling freely

"You have no idea at all where he could be? Because I will help you find him" Summer said, surprised by how concerned she was becoming "Whatever you want me to do, I'll do it to find him"

"Thank you, sweetie..But..Just call if you see him, okay?" Kristen said, Summer nodded

"Okay..I'll just go..Um..See Marissa..Bye" Summer said, walking off before Kristen could say any more

Summer quickly walked next-door to Marissa's house, she was worried about her. Ryan had just left the night before and...Well, she would be upset, which wouldn't be that suprising. Marissa wasn't very strong if you though about it...She could be easily broken and over the last year, she had been broken a couple of times...Not wanting to relieve the last couple of months, Summer stopped and ripped a couple of lilies out of the law growing by the Cooper family's front door. Then Summer remembered something.

"Shit...She moved to that new house" Summer mumbled

Shrugging, the dark haired seventeen year old walked back towards her home. Every vision she saw, replaying in her mind like a video. When she arrived at her home, she sighed walking inside and grabbing her keys off of the kitchen counter...Walking through the garage door, Summer jumped into her red Mercedes Benz and started it up.

Driving out of her home's spiral driveway, Summer turned up the car's speaker powerfully loud. It had been a couple minutes before she reazlized what was playing...The Ramones. Summer sighed at what she heard. "My Brain is Hanging Upside-down (Bonzo Goes to Bitberg)" was the song Seth had always tortured Summer by listening to every single time they went for secret drives together. He must of left the CD in her car.

Thinking of Seth made Summer's emotions suddenly rage. She started feeling differently...What if he never came back? What if he had left her forever? No..She could not be thinking like this. She did not like Seth so much. It wasn't like she had fallen for him. Before she knew it hot tears started streaming down her tanned cheeks. Summer punched the steering wheel, taking the CD out of her where it was and holding it in her hand, Her reddened eyes staring at it.

"I hope Cohen burns in hell for making me feel like this" Summer said, biting her lip

Summer threw the CD into the backset of her Mercedes and went back to watching the road. And in a matter of time, she had arrived at Marissa's new home. It was the biggest home in Newport almost like a mansion...Well, actually it was like a castle. Summer sighed and parked her car in front of the main entrance slowing stepping out, walking the the front door, and ringing the doorbell.

Summer thought of who she was about to face...Julie and Caleb were on their honeymoon in Hawaii so they were obviously gone. Jimmy Cooper who was Marissa's father and Haley Nichol who was, to her dismay at times, Caleb's daughter, would not be there for sure. So, It was either Marissa or Kaitlin, her little sister. Sure enough, It was Kaitlin. The ten year old girl stared up at Summer and sighed, letting her in without a word. Summer walked up the staircase, Kaitlin following her and tried to find Marissa's room. This was vey confusing to her, she was so use to Marissa's old house.

"You passed it" Kaitlin said, leaning against a door

"Oh..That's it?" Summer asked, pointing towards where Kaitlyn was leaning

"Your a quick one" Kaitlin said, walking off

Summer ignored Kaitlin's rudeness and walked into Marissa's new room. She scanned the room and saw nothing special. A bed and vanity. Everything was still in boxes. But, no sight of Marissa. Except..The balcony window was wide open. Summer raised her left eyebrow and carefully walked towards the balcony, not wanting to step on anything laying askew on the floor. When she arrived outside, she saw what she was looking for...Marissa was laying on the balcony flooring, one arm hanging off the side and the other under her skeltal-like body.

Summer sighed. But, that sigh quickly turned into a gasp when she saw something laying next to Marissa. A bottle of vodka, almost all of the clear liquid inside gone. A couple feet away from Marissa's feet were the remains of a broken glass. Sharred pieces of glass laid one one side of the balcony, the other blank. Summer fought back tears, knowing that Marissa had turned to drinking again. This was bad. Marissa had been through enough. She needed to get her back inside.

Picking up Marissa's body was nothing to Summer. She was as light as a feather. Summer laid Marissa on her bed and covered her up with three of the thinnest blankets she could fin. Walking over and shutting the balcony door, Summer knew what she was going to do.

"I'm going to get, Chino back. I promise, Coop" Summer said

Summer said goodbye to Kaitlyn and left the ever so dysfunctional home of the Cooper/Nichols clan. She jumped into her Mercedes and started to drive off to a place she never thought she would go to. Well, ever...Chino.
