Chap.1- Stolen

You took the breath right out of me,
You left a hole where my heart should be…

It has been four years now since that night of the Harbor bonfire where Alex and Marissa broke up because Alex just couldn't fit in life of the rich; Marissa's life. That night Alex packed and left, trying hard not to think of the tall brunette who has stolen her heart and never gave it back. Alex had graduated high school some years ago and is attending a community college for time being before transfer to a University. Alex had try really hard to move on and forget Marissa and it took her a year to finally take a different turn. That was when she met Haylee Phillips, her girlfriend of 3 years now. Haylee was no Marissa but she was there when Alex needed someone the most.

"Hey babe, you're coming up with me to my parents this weekend right?" the small brunette asked her girlfriend.

"Do I have too?" Alex replied kissing her girlfriend. She didn't want to go not because she didn't want to meet the parents. She has already when they came to LA to visit their daughter who goes to UCLA but she has never gone to them to visit. That's because they live in Newport.

"I know you dread going back to Newport…" Haylee said softly, knowing exactly why Alex didn't want to go back, "but I promise my parents I'd visit this summer and I would love to have you there with me." She continues as she gave Alex another kiss.

"Fine." Alex gave in to her girlfriend's good ways.

"Thanks." Haylee replied excitedly as she got up from bed and got ready, "Oh make sure to pack something pink." She said walking into the bath in the apartment the two shares.

"Pink?" Alex questioned herself before she too got up and ready herself for the day.

Back in Newport, Marissa was having lunch with Summer and Anna who came back for the summer. Ever since the break up with Alex, Marissa ran back to Ryan just like everyone guessed. However, she no longer love him the way she did or the way she started to love someone else. Someone who left her four years ago but still continues occupy her mind.

"Coop! You're daydreaming again." Summer shouted snapping Marissa out of her thoughts.

"Are you thinking of Ryan again?" Anna teased and Marissa just gave her a fake smile.

"Seriously Coop, I don't know why you're still with Ryan. I mean, you guys don't even act like a couple. Everyone's talking." Summer told her as if she should know what people are talking about.

"I don't know either…" Marissa breathed out. "Whatever I felt for him…its just not there anymore." She told him.

"Are you planning on breaking it off, like for good this time?" Summer questioned.

"Maybe. I don't know. I guess I should." Marissa said.

"Well, okay. If you break up with him before this weekend, we can all go to the Phillips' Pink Event. It can be like a girl's only night. No boys."

"Yeah, great idea except last time we did that, things became a complete disaster." Marissa reminded her little friend. Thinking back to that day, it was when she first found out that Alex was into girls and the first time she felt something for a girl. The thought of Alex caused her to frown as it still hurts to think of her.

"Hey, you okay?" Anna asked, sounding worried.

"Oh, yeah. Just not feeling well." Marissa replied, "I think I'm gonna get going." She said as she stood up and left. The other two waved their goodbyes before falling back into another conversation.

"Do you think she'll break up with Ryan?" Anna said looking at Summer.

"Oh, I know." Summer replied. Summer knew exactly whom Marissa was thinking of before she left. At first everyone thought it was phase she was going through to piss off her mom but Summer knew it wasn't after a few chat about the relationship with Marissa. She was hoping that her best was able to move on from it but it was obvious she hasn't. Alex was still on her mind.

Marissa was driving home as she thought about what Summer said about Ryan and her. She wanted to break things off but then she was going to lose a safety net. She knows she shouldn't think of Ryan that way because he does love her but she just can't love him back the way he wants her to, no matter how hard she tries. Her heart was gone. Deciding that for once she should do the right thing, she dials Ryan.

"Hey Rissa, what's up?" Ryan said from the other side.

"Can we talk?" Marissa asked him.

"Yeah, sure. Is everything okay?" Ryan asked worried.

"Yeah, I just have to tell you something. My house in ten?" she suggested. He agreed and they hung up. About ten minutes later, Marissa heard Ryan coming up her stairs to her room.

"Hey." Ryan greeted as he went over to give her a warm hug.

"Hey." She replied.

"What did you want to talk about?" He asked, taking a seat on chair across from her bed where she was sitting.

"About us." Marissa started and already she could see the look on his face. She has seen it many times before. "I don't think were working." Marissa told him.

"As much as I like to disagree Marissa but we're not." He told her to her surprise. "I love you Rissa but I know, for awhile now that it's just me in this relationship." He proclaims.

"I'm sorry…" Marissa uttered, tears forming in her eyes. "I tired…I really did, it's just-it's just…" she wanted say but the words doesn't come out right.

"Alex. Its just Alex." Ryan helped her. The sound of Alex's name causes her to flinch as the tears have now fallen freely down her rosy cheeks. Ryan came went over to give her a hug, "We can now try this friend thing we suck at…" he said causing her to laugh a little at the comment.

"Sounds good." After that, the two decided to go get ice cream to celebrate their newfound friendship.

The weekend came faster then imaged, and the excitement for the Pink Event thrown by the new members of Newport, the Phillips were the most anticipated. Marissa had told Summer of her breakup with Ryan and agreed to do the whole girl's night out thing once more, hoping to free her mind for at least one night.

Alex on the other hand was in the car with Haylee, on their way to Newport. Alex had found out about the Pink Event half way through the trip and couldn't help but fall for her girlfriend's pleasing look. She agreed to go to this party with Haylee if they leave Newport sooner then planned and Haylee had no choice but to agree. Alex looked at the cheerful face of her girlfriend, as she was excited to see her family, which caused Alex to smile. Alex hoped this thing could help her enjoy her time with Haylee more and forget about Marissa.

If only the two knew…
