So What?
Summer and Alex had been sitting on the porch ever since Seth stormed off to his car. They were holding hands Summer and Alex had been sitting on the porch ever since Seth stormed off to his car. They were holding hands trying to comfort each other as much as possible. Alex had one arm around Summer rubbing small circles on her back while Summer had Alex's free hand and was rubbing her thumb back and forth on it.
Alex couldn't believe the way the day had turned out. She was so happy before and now she was terrified of what was going to happen once Marissa arrived.
Summer was also scared of what would happen once Marissa got there. She didn't want to lose her best friend, Marissa meant so much to her and it killed her knowing that their friendship was most likely over.
15 minutes after Seth called Marissa she arrived at Summer's doorstep.
Marissa- What the hell is going on?
Seth had gotten out of his car when Marissa arrived and was now standing by her side.
Seth- All I know is that I saw them kissing. What two friends do that?
Alex- Look, we didn't want you guys to find out like this.
Marissa- How could you? I fucking thought we had something special…you stupid
Summer- Hey, enough of that! God Marissa, how can YOU be so fucking judgmental?
Marissa- What the hell are you talking about?
Seth- You know what? I can't, no I wont sit here and listen to you two fucking defend what you were doing! This is sick and wrong. You two are really willing to hurt your friends and everybody who cares about you for no reason.
Summer- No reason? I like Alex, really like her and if you can't see that we were over way before we broke up, then you were too lost in your own little world to notice that I was miserable with you.
Seth- I don't have to sit here and listen to this crap! I'm going, but I hope that you two can live with yourselves knowing that you just broke up all of our friendships!
With that a severely pissed off Seth walked away from the girls!
Alex who seemed to be thinking deeply finally managed to vocalize her thoughts.
Alex- How did you get here so quickly?
Marissa- What?
Alex- Well, you were suppose to be in San Diego with you mom 'til tomorrow. How did you get here in 15 minutes then?
Marissa- Um…well…
Ring, ring
Marissa- Hello?
Alex- What the fuck, who are you talking to?
Marissa- No, this isn't a good time, I'll talk to you later.
Alex- What the hell Marissa, what is going on?
Marissa- Fine, I was lying. I didn't go with my mom this weekend. I was hanging out with somebody this weekend.
Alex- Who?
Marissa- That isn't important.
Alex- Tell me.
Marissa- NO. We can't do this anymore. I cheated on you, you cheated on me…we're over.
Alex- I know…I just can't believe it.
Both girls were now in tears, no longer were they yelling at each other, instead they both were speaking so softly that they almost couldn't hear each other.
Marissa- Bye.
Marissa looked like she was on the verge of breaking down with Alex. They couldn't believe how quickly their fairytale romance had crashed around them.
Alex was so upset that she forgot that Summer was even there.
Summer- Come on baby, let's go inside.
Alex- Yeah, thank you for being here Sum.
Summer- Don't worry about it. The hard parts over, now we can be a real couple.
Alex- I would like that.
Summer wasn't sure if Alex's words were sincere or not. She wanted more than anything to believe her, but after seeing how distraught Alex was over Marissa and her breaking up, she wasn't sure if they would make it.

Seth stormed into the living room. On the way to the couch he knocked over Ryan's chips. Ryan was really surprised at Seth's demeanor. Just hours before, Seth was so excited about winning Summer over with his romantic dinner, now Seth looked like he either wanted to beat something up or throw up everything he's ever eaten. Seth was pale and his fists were balled up.
Ryan- What happened?
Seth- Fucking girls!
Ryan- What? Care to elaborate?
Seth- Only if you really wanna know.
Ryan- Let it all out Seth.
Seth- Fine, I guess Alex and Summer have been fucking seeing each other behind me and Marissa's backs.
Ryan- WHAT? Are you sure?
Seth- When Summer came home they kissed and Alex told her how she deserved the best things…blah blah…
Ryan- But you don't know how long things have been going on. They could have just started up today. They only really started talking Friday. Plus, you and Summer did break up.
Seth- I know that TECHNICALLY Summer didn't do anything wrong, but I don't think our friendships are gonna be able to survive a blow like this. Marissa was pissed too.
Ryan- Yeah, things are gonna be rough for a while. So Marissa knows?
Seth- Yeah, I kinda told her. I am so pissed.
Ryan- Yeah…
With the conversation over Seth got up and went to brood in his room.
Ryan- Yeah, things are gonna be tough.
Summers
Alex- God, I just feel so guilty.
Summer- Why?
Alex- 'Cuz I cheated on Marissa.
Summer- But she cheated on you first.
Alex- But I didn't know. It doesn't make it right.
Summer- Everything's gonna be fine. You still have me.
Alex- Thank you so much. I don't think I could do this without you.
Summer- Don't worry, I'm gonna be here for as long as you want me.
With that Summer gave Alex a kiss. Alex wasted no time in falling asleep, but Summer just watched her sleep. She wasn't sure how long Alex was going to want her around, but she would be along for the ride. Soon, Summer got out of bed, there was something she had to do.
Cohen's
Ryan- Hello?
Summer- Ryan, hey it's Summer.
Ryan- Oh, hey how are you?
Summer- Not so good, listen I need to tell you something.
Ryan- Don't worry, Seth already filled me in on all of the details.
Summer- No, that was just the beginning, there's more to this story.
A/N- Yeah, drama. The reason for the title has yet to be addressed in this fic; I just need ed to get Alex and Summer together. Trust me, this isn't the end of the drama. It's just beginning.
