DISCLAIMER: the oc isn't mine, couldn't get a deal with fox so all I've got its free time to write this.
Hiya people I'm back, sucks I know but you cant get rid of me, now here comes the second part hope you like it this part its gonna be told by a narrator so dont be surprised.
This is nothing specific but it needs to be done to get any further.
Also I now I said its gonna be named "it could have been great" but that maybe just for now, see I don't really like that title but I cant think of any other so I would really appreciate suggestions.
Enjoy!
Hi its so god to have you back reading again, just to clear some stuff up, here where gonna meet some other people in summers life but the main focus is gonna be the fav four, I've seen this story develop in front of my eyes and now I'm gonna share it with you, as I can remember this continues after two years Marissa and summer lost contact with each other, now there were just a distant memory in each others heads, everything was so blurry in summers head, like none of it made any sense now and little by little she forgot about it without trying, it just somehow disappeared , sure she had some memories but nothing specific it was like nothing ever happened, but everything we go trough leaves us with something, sometimes it makes us better than we where, sometimes it leaves us hopeless, I don't really now what was the change in summer but there sure was one, she was way different from how she used to be but still deep down she was the same, if that even makes sense what I'm trying to say its that, people never really change, there is a essence of who you are that you just cant fight, it will always resurface no matter how hard you try, but there are some mmm modifications, details that can be improved and in summers case she improved a lot of aspects of her personality I guess that's what people refers as "growing up" and what I'm about to show you if you're still reading its that, where gonna see who has changed and who hasn't, who thinks has changes but really hasn't , who really needs to change and who should have never done it.
And it all starts here, summer kept on with her life just like everybody else did she went to high school and met some really good friends mostly boys, who knows why but like always it was easier to have them as friends, there was just this girl summer had a great friendship with, mostly because she was a lot like her, she had better relationship with guys as friends she had a very similar perception to summers and a big mouth too, but even if I could name you a lot of similarities between them I could also name you an even whole lot more differences and that was the greatest thing about them, they were similar enough to have a connection and to understand each other but different enough to keep it interesting and remain as two different persons.
Summer: oh come on… not again!
Mary: sorry! Its not my fault I want to pee! I've never known anyone that got mad with her friends because they need to pee.
Summer: yeah well I've never known anyone that goes to pee every five freaking minutes!
Mary (as they were approaching the restrooms.): why do we always do this, I say I wanna pee you complain we start fighting and suddenly we are out of the bathroom.
Summer: because we walk this path everyday all morning and if we weren't fighting we would get sick of it.
Mary just rolled her eyes and got in.
Summer was now half the road of freshman year and mary was the closest friend she had, she was a lot like summer, except that she was way more mmm friendly with boys and she practically lived in the restroom but they both talked a lot, they both had very similar perception about things and that was the reason they were such good friends.
Summer stayed out while mary was in the bathroom for like the million time that day.
Mary: hey guess who's here? Mary asked as she approached summer
Summer: mmm madona? Summer said already knowing what came next
Mary: sparkles, she said and started to shake her still wet hands in summer's direction
Summer: you know after the third time it loses its charm
Mary just rolled her eyes again
Then the bell ring indicating it was time to go home
Mary: today went pretty fast
Summer: same as every day
Mary: im so hungry
Summer: hey that's new summer said in a very sarcastic tone because Mary loved to eat she was always hungry but she new what to eat that's way she wasn't fatty.
Mary: shut up
After that they went home in different ways, see that was the thing they were really good friends but just in school , sure they told each other everything(almost everything) that happened in the day or in the weekend but they never went out together.
Mary would tell summer about where she went out to, about the new guy of the week, ok that makes her sound like a slut but she wasn't because nothing ever happened with any guy, Mary's interest in them didn't lasted enough. She would get all exited about a dude then she would talk about him all days all day, she would probably go out with him once or twice and then suddenly she was talking about someone else.
And summer would mostly just listen and laugh about her and stuff, summer laughed a lot about Mary she would tease her all day telling her she was a slut and such but summer didn't really thought that about Mary and she knew it that's why she didn't got mad, and that summer liked a lot, you could tell her anything and Mary would just shrug.
Summer would tell her that she went out how many she drank and that she smoked a lot, summer liked to party a lot and that's what she did every weekend. See it's always the same old thing.
After summer got home she surfed a while on the internet, cleaned her room a little and watched TV for a long while, when she was bored after watching TV all afternoon she decided to take a walk along with her dog, it was a Dalmatian called Mona.
Actually Mona walked summer since she was pretty big and a whole lot stronger than summer but still.
Mona walked summer for a while until summer remembered she needed some stuff for school so she went home to leave Mona there and grab her car, she got home and did as told before.
When she arrived to the store she got everything she needed and paid for it, on her way out she was walking a little distracted searching trough what she got to make sure she wasn't forgetting anything since she was summer and that was something that always happened, suddenly she bumped into a car in the parking lot, like I said she was distracted and caused all her stuff to fall down, she started apologizing while she picked up all her stuff and didn't noticed the familiar face that was helping her until she heard her name been called.
Marissa: summer? Omg summer are you okaymarissa said as she helped summer get all her stuff together
Summer: yeah yeah its just a scratch, mm hi im sorry I bumped into your car I was a little distracted and well you know…
Marissa: you cant walk straight without bumping to the sides
Summer: exactly
Marissa: Its good to know some things never change marissa said with a small smile directed to summer
Summer just returned the gesture Now they were both up and summer had all her belongings in hand so she was good to go but somehow she was actually kind of glad she bump into Marissa, it was nice to know how she was, and that was something new, usually when summer lost contact with someone no matter who and how deep the relationship used to be summer moved on pretty fast because she met new people, so when she ran into someone she would just say hi and tell them the famous "we should catch up sometime" knowing they would never met again at least not because they planed to.
Summer: so how's everything been? What have you been up to
Marissa: oh well you know... just the same old stuff and what about you how's school going
Summer: ah pretty good and you, how's college life treating you
Marissa: actually I'm taking some time off so right know I'm just working with my dad
Summer: oh that's cool I mean it works for you
Marissa: yeah I'm just not sure college it's for me, not yet anyway
Summers cell phone started to ring and manoeuvring not to drop her stuff she managed to answer it
Summer: oh… ok, yeah no that's fine I'll be there in like ten minutes….. see ya then..ok bye
Marissa: you have to go… it was more a statement than a question
Summer: yeah I'm sorry but it was really good seeing you again, good luck with the whole college or non college thing she said and was about to walk when Marissa spoke
Marissa: hey listen would you like to catch up some other time
Summer: yeah sure
Marissa: cool … so you still have the same number
Summer: yup still the one
Marissa: ok I'll call you
Summer: ok sure….. an awkward silence filled the air… well um I guess I'll se you later
Marissa: yeah bye
Summer: bye she semi waved in an extremely funny awkward way since her hands were full and turned around to find her car pretty sure that she wouldn't see Marissa again anytime soon.
When they first met summer was actually more comfortable with feelings than Marissa was, well summer used to get close to people very easily and so did Marissa but Marissa was more about fun and living the time to fullest than thinking about feelings let alone express any kind of affection towards any kind of person, after a while she did it to summer in her own way but right when their friendship was getting closer they grew apart, and judging by the Marissa summer used to know she was pretty sure she wouldn't call or if she did it would only be to invite summer to a party or so, but it wasn't like summer wanted her to call I mean if she did that would be nice but summer wouldn't have any trouble sleeping if she didn't.
Mary and summer arrived to their usual lunch table to meet their friends since by Mary's request they had to go to the girl's room first.
Oscar: hey so I have this question
Scott: hey what a coincidence I have this answer maybe they match
Summer just rolled her eyes and ignored Scott, she always pretended he annoyed her when she actually found him kinda funny and he was the one she could talk to the most, he was one of the greatest friends summer ever had.
Summer: go on os
Oscar: well you know I have a little sister right
Mary: yeah you've mentioned her before, what's up with her?
Oscar: well she has a boyfriend
Summer: ah the jealous brother, classic one but, been there and I warn you it sucks for the girl so unless you want your sister to hate you leave her alone
Scott: didn't know you had a brother
Summer: I don't, I do have a cousin though, who grew up with me and he was so overprotective luckily he was older than me so right now he's off to college and I can be free. Summer signed dramatically and let her self fall backwards in Mary's arms.
Mary just giggled and pushed summer back up
Scott: oh yeah like you date so much, he would have to kick at least an ass per week
Summer: shut up just because I'm not Mary and have a new guy every day…
Mary: hey that's…
Oscar: you aren't even offended
Mary: ah… you're right she said mocking a sad voice and Oscar just patted her on the back
Scott ignored them and went on: just name a guy you've been out with since we've known you, I can't remember any names, can you guys
Mary: hey that's true how come you never talk about any guy... Isn't there anyone you like?
Oscar: or should I be so lucky to hear you say you're a lesbian
Summer just gave Oscar a killing glare which she also shared with Scott just to find him grinning and then turned back at Mary who really seemed to be intrigued by the sudden revelation.
Summer: I'm just not interested in anything happening with anyone right now
Mary: that's so sad
Summer:… why?
Mary: I don't know, don't you wanna be with someone
Summer: yes but I haven't met that someone yet and I don't think I can find him anytime soon
Oscar: maybe because its a her?
Summer: I'm sorry where you saying you're sister is pregnant
Oscars smile faded away instantly
Oscar: don't even joke about that
Scott: dude chill out, she's growing up of course she's gonna want to have a boyfriend, when she starts to behave like Mary, then you've got something to worry about
They all looked at Mary to watch how she "pretended" to be offended but this time she didn't even bothered she was too busy looking over some guy to protest.
Oscar: I'm serious, its not just the fact that she has a boyfriend it's the fact that he's 16 and my sister is 13.
Mary: so what age doesn't matter?
Scott: it matters for horny teenagers
Summer: he has a point
Oscar: you're not helping
Scott: we're not trying to
Summer: look there's nothing you can do and it's actually none of your business, let your sister alone, she has to learn on her own
Oscar: yeah well I don't want her to learn that she's pregnant because she had sex with a dude that carried a condom since 3 years ago in his wallet.
Scott: ha-ha classic one
Summer: I think you're over reacting, at 13 girls already now all about sex, even more than most grown up boys do, and if she decides to do it there's nothing you can do to stop her so just get over the fact that she's growing up
Just then the bell ringed and they all went to class in different ways but Oscar followed summer
Oscar: hey sum, you really think she would do it already
Summer: stop tormenting yourself, I have no idea I've never met the girl, maybe she will but if she doesn't she's gonna do it latter anyway so quit it, I know you just care about her but like I said she has to learn on her own it's the only way.
Oscar: I guess
Summer: I'm sure she's gonna be fine, listen I have to go I cant be late see ya later
Oscar: later
That day after school they went to grab something to eat so summer arrived home around 4:30 and just when she was about to lay down and watch TV her phone ringed.
She looked at the caller id and didn't identified the number but she answered anyway
Summer: hello
Marissa: hey summer its Marissa
Summer: oh hey I dint recognized the number
Marissa: yeah it's because I changed it
Summer: that's why
Marissa: so listen would you like to go for a walk or something
Summer: sure mm right now? Summer asked a little unsure
Marissa: nah the sun it's too bright still, why don't you meet me at the pier around six
Summer: ok that works
Marissa: great see you then
Summer: see ya.
Summer hanged up a little surprised she actually got a call from Marissa, so soon and just to take a walk, which meant she really wanted to talk and catch up, well maybe it wasn't going to be that painful.
Ok this is just a little start I did it kind of in a hurry since I just got back yesterday and had nothing written and I didn't wanted to keep you guys waiting any longer its already been a week, now about the whole Marissa not going to college that's funny because its actually like that, its amazing how everything fitted so I could write this fic, anyway this is just the beginning so they would get in contact with time. Tell me what you think, traumas, complains, suggestions, observations, anything its welcomed.
