Thanks FiresOfDeath!! Hehe once you get the parking, everything is easy, trust me. Just… don't burn a red light and respect the speed limit.
- I know uh she's leaving so soon. But her life isn't there anymore. (In the OC, they make her look like some no-future teenager, and I hated it!)
- About Alex's GF… well not yet. You'll find out sometime soon, I think. She's not important for the moment.

Save Me
Chapter 4 – The Bait Shop
Marissa cleaned her face and got out of the bathroom. Looking around, she finally found Summer and sat next to her, putting on her fake smile. Alex guessed correctly, Summer did not make a remark about her clothes. Am I always that cold? Relieved, Marissa relaxed her body. They talked about this and that, waiting for Seth and Ryan to come. Maybe everything could get back to normal, Marissa thought. You know it's a lie, a voice in her head said. Why did she let Alex go? Why again? She felt a kiss in her neck, right on top of the scarf, and jolted.
- I scared you? Ryan asked playfully as he sat close to her. Marissa heart was racing.
- A bit, she said. He approached his hand, Marissa couldn't take her eyes off that hand...
- Stop, she said as she hit his hand, stronger that she attended to.
- I'm so-rry, he laughed sarcastically, not really noticing her strange mood. However, he did not make another attempt, which calmed Marissa. Nervously, she arranged the scarf.
- So how was your trip? Summer asked as Seth came back with four latte.
- Oh you know... he said, the usual..
Meanwhile, Alex parked in front of the Bait Shop, her mind still on Marissa. And on that guy. Who was he anyway? What was Marissa doing with him that night, if she was Ryan's girlfriend? Marissa is not the cheating kind... Alex laughed sarcastically. Right, not the cheating kind. Nothing happened with Ryan, oh really? Is that why they're together now? Not noticing what she was doing, she bumped into someone.
- Oh sorry, she said. Do you know where I could find mister Knight:? I have an appointment with him...
- And you are? The tattooed guy asked.
- I'm Alex Kelly. I used to manage this place a while ago.
- Oh, Alex, the guy said. I'm Alexander Knight, pleased to meet you. They shook hands.
- So you're the new manager, Alex noticed with a smirk. He was enormous, tattooed, and had piercing at places Alex didn't know a needle could get in.
- Yeah, he replied. So you came for your stuff? He asked. Follow me. Trey will help you to carry all your shit to your car.
- Oh, really, it's fine, Alex said. I don't have that much...
- I said he'll do it, Alexander cut her. I'm not paying that retard to sit on his ass. ATWOOD, COME HERE! He screamed. Alex stopped. Atwood? Why was that name ringing a bell? A tall, good looking gentleman arrived. Alex checked him out, and so did he. They both started at each other, trying to remember why they seem so familiar. Trey got it first, but didn't let it show on his face.
- Hi, he said politely, I'm Trey.
- I'm not paying you to flirt with the costumers, Alexander said as he slapped Trey behind the head. Move her boxes and come back, I need you downstairs.
- Ok, Trey said and, as he left, he added : Asshole. Alex rolled her eyes and picked up one of her boxes. They were two in total. Really not that much of a big deal.
- You know, I don't really need your help... She said. Trey grabbed the second box and took the first one from Alex's arms, transporting both of them.
- It's alright, really, Trey said. The farther from that dickhead, the better. They walked silently, Alex leading the way. Trey's heart was racing. Did she recognise him? Of course not, she would have killed him by now. But from where does she know Marissa? Will she tell her that she saw him? Will she tell Ryan? Dear God, Ryan mustn't know about this, ever!
- It's here, Alex said. Trey put down the boxes and sighted with relieve. They were heavy after all. Under the sun, Alex noticed a hit on Trey's forehead. It looked a lot like a shoe mark. Perhaps, Marissa's... Trey noticed the way she was looking at him and panicked.
- I... better get going, he said. She grabbed his wrist. Trey wanted to pull it away and run, but he did not. It would be way too suspect.
- Trey Atwood, she said slowly, looking in his eyes. Nice to meet you. Trey looked up, trying to act cool.
- Yea, he said, me too. And quickly left. Alex watched him leave as she sat back in her jeep. Atwood. Atwood... who had that name?
Marissa was relieved when they left the diner. She wasn't enjoying being seen in public. She wanted to go back in her room, to crawl back in her bed... She felt strong hands on her hips.
- Hey baby, are you alright? Ryan asked with worry. Marissa pushed his hand away.
- I'm okay, she lied.
- So, you didn't tell me how it went with Trey the other night. You know, you had planned on watching some movies with him.
- It was fine, Marissa said, avoidant.
- I.. Ryan started.
- Listen Ryan I'm very tired. Would you mind bringing me home? He stood there, confused.
- Of course, he finally said. Probably PMS, he thought.
