A/n: I'm back! yeahs. LoL. j/k. So i'm back from camp, and with me I bring a new chapter! Camp was very fun and I'm having a hard time getting over it so you guys will have to bare with me. My spelling sucks REALLY BAD even with spell check, and nothing really makes sense. Mostly from missing people and not sleeping very much. But anyway, I hope you like this chapter, it's probably a little confusing but...whatever.

Chapter 6 Misunderstanding

"Hey! Marissa wait up!" a voice yelled behind Marissa as she walked along the school hallways to her next class.

She turned around and wasn't surprised to see Amelia Waters. Amelia was a follower, she regularly followed her and Summer. Amelia had a couple of classes with Marissa. Since Summer hadn't been there all week she had, had to be partners with Amelia. It was the worst 45 minutes of her life, everyday since Summer hadn't been there. She wondered not for the first time that week where her friend was.

When she had went over to drop Summer's homework off at her house Summer's step-mother had yelled at her for coming over since Summer was being incredibly moody and wouldn't leave her room. Marissa thought it was wise to leave her alone for a week then this weekend go over to see if she was ok. Marissa smiled a strained smile at Amelia and stopped. "

Hi, Amelia." Marissa said starting to walk again as she saw Amelia had caught up with her.

"Hi, so I was wondering where Summer was, she hasn't been here all week. I was starting to get worried."

Marissa shrugged not wanting to reveal what was going on with Summer. But in truth Marissa wasn't so sure herself. At first she thought it was because of Lindsey, but then she waved that idea away. Summer could ruin Lindsey with a few words and a flick of the wrist, it was something else. "She has the flu." Marissa said saying the first thing that popped into her head.

Amelia nodded, "So I heard that weird new girl asked Ryan out. How does that make you feel?"

Marissa almost laughed at the question then she remembered no one but Summer...and Seth...and Ryan knew she was gay. "Er fine."

"Well, you must be so glad Ryan said no. I mean she had asked him out right in front of you. Some people have like no manors."

Marissa nodded as they got into the classroom. The day after her, Lindsey, and Summer had talked, Lindsey had asked Ryan out at lunch.

It was a good thing Summer had been MIA all week or else she would have gotten in a fight. But it was very strange the whole thing. Thinking back to when Lindsey asked Ryan out, Marissa wondered why she had still asked him when Marissa told her not to.

"Hey." Lindsey had said just like she did everyday as she sat down by him. He 'smiled' and went back to talking to Seth about some idea for a comic book.

"Hi Marissa." she had said.

Marissa nodded and went back to her magazine, when Summer wasn't there she usually didn't talk much.

"So Ryan, what are you doing this weekend?" Lindsey had said right in the middle of Seth's and Ryan's conversation.

He had looked at her with raised eyebrows. "Well, I'm going to go see if Summer is alright." he said looking at her strangely.

"Yeah, where is she today? Is she ok?" Seth asked joining into the conversation about Summer.

Marissa nodded, "I think so. She called me to tell me she wasn't feeling good and to skip coming to pick her up."

"Yeah, she wasn't feeling ok last night either, you know when we talked." Lindsey had said as if she was part of the group.

Marissa had looked at her strangely and shrugged. "Yeah. I guess."

"You talked to her last night? What was wrong with her?" Ryan had asked. "

Well, she said she was tired and just wasn't feeling good. Then I guess since she was so sick she gave me bad advice." Lindsey said laughing.

Everyone looked at her.

"She told me to ask you out."

The whole table went silent as they looked at her.

"She told me you weren't dating anyone, I said I sorta liked you, she said I should go for it. So Ryan will you go out with me?" Lindsey asked desperation seeping into her voice.

Ryan shook his head. "Why would she tell you that?"

"Why not?" Lindsey asked her voice filled with sadness and almost cracking.

"Because I have a girlfriend."

"Summer didn't tell me about her."

"Summer IS my girlfriend." Ryan said getting up and going over to the garbage.

"What? Why would she tell me to ask you out then?" Lindsey asked tears starting to well up in her eyes.

Ryan shrugged, "I don't know." he had said then walked off.

Marissa still couldn't get the look on Ryan's face out of his head. She guessed that Summer wanted to get Lindsey back, so she embarrassed her, in front of her crush.

Marissa knew Ryan was pissed at his girlfriend so she guessed that was the reason why he didn't go visit her. Marissa looked back at Amelia who she noticed had been talking the whole time she was thinking about that day at lunch a couple of days ago.

"Hmm really well, I have to go. See you later." Marissa said having no idea what Amelia had been babbling about.

Marissa decided to skip the rest of the day and go home early, it was after all a Friday. She walked into her house and up the stairs to her room when she was surprised to see a lump sleeping on her bed. She was surprised to see it was Summer, Summer was sleeping in her bed.

How weird.

"Summer?" she asked shaking the smaller girl.

Summer opened her eyes and rubbed them. She looked around Marissa's room and shook her head. Then out of the blue she started to cry.

"Summer? What the hell happened? Where have you been for the whole week?"

Summer sobbed and barley muttered the answer. "He got mad at me!" She sobbed.

Marissa got a confused look on her face. "What?"

"I told him and he got mad at me! It wasn't my fault! He just came into my room asking all these questions and I told him! He was suppose to take it well! He yelled at me so much! I mean he will be the...Marissa!" Summer sobbed hugging her friend.

Marissa asked what she was talking about in a confused voice again.

"I'm pregnant!" Summer said trying to wipe the tears away. "And he totally freaked out! So what if...Marissa! What am I going to do?"

Marissa stared at Summer as she got up and headed towards her bathroom, to washing her face off. Marissa yelled from her place on the bed, "Ryan Freaked out and yelled at you?" she asked. She felt like she couldn't breath. Summer was pregnant with Ryan's kid? How was everyone going to take it? What was everyone going to do? How was Summer's dad going to take it? Who would be the godmother?

Summer couldn't really hear what her friend asked her about so she just agreed. What ever she said Summer usually agreed with. What made this time any different? Summer came out of the bathroom a little more composed and was surprised to find no one in there. Where did Marissa go? And what was the question she asked?

Marissa drove over to the Cohens to find Ryan. By this time school had already let out. She went through the house and into the pool house to find Ryan.

She was going to talk to him!

He freaked out!

And yelled at her!

It was as much her fault as was hers.

"Ryan!" she yelled as she came into the Pool House.

He came out of the bathroom just in time for Marissa to smack him.

"How dare you!" She yelled at him. Her hand really stung and Ryan looked very confused about what was going on.

"What—"

"I know this is a big step but you can work through it together, don't just yell at her! I mean, it's both your faults she's pregnant!" Marissa yelled.

There was a ringing silence as the p-word left her mouth.

Ryan looked at her with huge eyes, trying to understand what she was saying. "What?" he asked quietly.

"Summer's pregnant." she said more quieter, it seemed to dawn on her that he had no idea what she was talking about. "You knew didn't you?" she asked.

"No." he said sighing. "When did she find out?"

Marissa shrugged, she realized she over reacted for no reason. Ryan didn't know...so who was Summer talking about? "Oh God! I told you! Summer is going to kill me!" Marissa said thinking about her friend. "Oh God! She was talking about her dad!" Marissa yelled.

"What?" Ryan asked sitting on his bed.

"She and her dad got in a fight I guess and then...sorry I thought she was talking about you." Marissa said sitting next to him.

They were silent for awhile until Seth came into the Pool house and found them sitting like that, staring at the wall.

"Ok...what's up?" Seth asked looking back and forth between the two people.

"Summer's pregnant." Ryan blurted out staring at the wall.

"What!" Seth yelled sitting down next to them.

"Yeah, that's what I said, after Marissa hit me."

"I didn't mean to." Marissa grumbled.

"I should go talk to her." Ryan mumbled. He had barely said anything to her for a week. He was mad at her for having Lindsey ask him out, but this was so much bigger. He felt bad and he really wanted to see her to talk to her, about everything.

"Yeah, I should too." Marissa nodded.

Just then the door opened to reveal the one and only Summer. "Hey." she said smiling at them. They all looked back at her with wide-eyed expressions.

"What's the matter?" she asked looking around at them.

"Your pregnant." Seth said.

Summer's smile slowly fell off her face. "Um...yeah..." she gave them sheepish look, and then her eyes rested on Ryan. "Ryan, I'm pregnant!" she said with false cheer. "And I need a place to stay, daddy kicked me out."
