(A/U) I am Sooooo~ sorry i havn't updated in ages T_T

"Lexi! What the fuck was that!" Marissa and Summer shouted after the redhead.

"That hurt." Lexi replied sighing.
"Wait. What?" Summer asked noticing Lexi's bleeding hand. "I didn't see her punch Ryan Coop." The smaller girl whispered.

"She punched the mirror. Remember Sum?" Marissa replied.

"Yep. Bloody hurt." Lexi replied pulling a frown. Summer glared at the younger teen.

"Lexi. Have you ever thought about anger manadgment?" Lexi returned the glare.

"You're kidding right? Last time i went to a anti stress yoga thing i ended up attacking two other people there. And following up with knocking the instructor unconcious!" Lexi complained. After a very long awkward silence Marissa cleared her throat.

"Shall we get you cleaned up?" Lexi raised her eyebrow, before she could complain Marissa had walked ahead and Summer had grabbed the redheads uninjured hand and dragged inside her sister's apartment. Lexi took full notice of the apartment, slightly messy, beer bottles on every once empty shelf, a guitar propped against a wall and a surfboard close to it. Lexi felt a chuckle escape her lips, causing the two brunettes to turn around confused.

"Lexi. Did you just laugh?" A shocked Summer asked.

"Yeah." smiled Lexi "This is definately my sisters apartment." The teen laughed. Marissa smiled at this comment, walking out of the bathroom carrying a small first aid kit.
"Lex, want to sit down?" She smiled gesturing to the sofa. They all sat down. Marissa took Lexi's cut hand and inspected it closely.
"Lex.. Looks like you've still got some glass stuck in there." Marissa stated.

"That's no problem." Lexi smiled grabbing a bacteria wipe and a bandage out of the bag, wiped the cuts thoroughly and wrapped the bandage in place, fastening it.

"That doesn't seem very healthy" Summer pointed out.

"Yeah well. I don't have time to use a magnifying glass to slowly pick out each individual shard..." Lexi sighed. "Well. I have places to be. So if you don't mind. I'll catch you later." With that the teen left. Summer and Marissa heard the sound of an engine driving into the distance.

"Coop... I don't trust her." The smaller teen looked at her friend.

"What do you mean?"
"Well... We never heard of her before. Then she suddenly comes out of the blue looking for her "sister". Which hello? Is only a year or so older than her. I mean is it even possible to have a child that soon after having another child?"

"Well Sum. That last part i can't help you with. But you do have a point with the whole sisterout of nowhere thing..."

Unknown Location

Alex had another day of torture. She hadn't slept properly for several days. The only thing keeping her going was the possible thought of seeing Marissa again.

"Hello Alex" The man entered the room again. Alex quickly noted he was carrying a knife. Oh...Shit she thought. She had hardly had the chance to stand up before the masked man cleared the space between them and pinned the blonde to the ground with his free arm. Immediatly Alex began to panic. Flashbacks of her past began to overwhelm her. She thought she had imagined the feeling of the metal cutting into her arm. Then the adrenaline wore off. Crying out in pain she felt the warmth cover her arm. Alex couldn't breathe, but she couldn't look away from the sadistic maniacs grinning face. He brought the knife towards her throat.

"I could kill you right now you know? End your pitiful existance now. But... I want to make you pay. I want to make your friend Marissa pay. I want to make your sister Lexi pay. So i won't kill you. Not yet." The man stood up and left the room hastily. Alex sat up and curled up in the corner. Did he say Lexi? Lexi can't be here. I haven't had the chance to introduce her to Riss... She's going to freak out...

Alex's Apartment

Summer had left to find Seth. Leaving Marissa to sit around and wait. Wait for what she didn't know, Was she waiting for Lexi? Or was she waiting for Alex to wonder casually through the door. Standing up Marissa wandered around the apartment. She knocked some files off of the side and picked them up. Among the pile she noticed to letters. One was half finished and in Alex's handwriting. The other was in a different handwriting. She read it quietly to herself.

Dear Alex

HEY! How are you? It's been ages since we last spoke. I'd of called you. But i may have destoryed my cell escaping from several drunk people... Remember when we went our seperate ways? Well i taught myself to drive. Which i find only useful when you posess a car. I hitchiked to Canada. Pretty shifty to be fair... I made a lovely friend. He's very good at fake i.d's I have already made very inneficiant use of this.

Anyway... So a week or so ago I was just outside of New York. Very loud city by the way.. Bloody expensive.. D= So i found this bar and they were playing poker. How i got involved i do not know. But after several drinks, several losses and wins later. We went all in. Me with $8,000 which was basically all my savings and earnings. I had five dollars in my pocket. The other two guys followed with the same amount of money. Another guy bet all his "bling" and like $3,000. And then there was this final guy right. Total dick so full of himself bet his car. Drumroll please. It was a Nissan Skyline! I was sooo shocked! And boy when they found they had lost. I fucking ran! Not that i had much choice... This is basically NY we're talking about.. Long story short. They had guns. I didn't. I grabbed the keys and pretty much all the money, I ran, i got shot i drove like hell. I got far away. Went to hospital. Got hotel room and wrote this. And...It just occured to me, my phone has a bullet hole going straight through it. Shit right?

Anyway. I miss you so much. I'm going to be passing through the O.C in a few days. So i'll drop by and find you if you're still there.

Love always
Lexi 3

Marissa had read the letter in great detail. "Woah, Like a bloody novel Lex.." Marissa noted the other piece of paper, It was Alex's again she read it to herself.

Hey Lexi..

I don't know how i can even send this letter to you... You sound like you're on the move constantly. So i'm writing this in the mindset that you are going to read this. I'm so glad you're going to come here. I really want to introduce you to Marissa. You will love her! Well obviously not as much as me! But if you love Canada you may not enjoy O.C as much. It's always warm. You know what that means? SURFING! You can't escape it! :D
But you played poker? And got a Skyline? With like $24,000+? On top of that you got shot! I swear you make this shit up! You better start chilling out. You're growing up! But seriously you gotta see this place! I own a bar type club! You HAVE to meet Marissa. I'm going to keep it as a suprise for her though. It may be awkward if i just say suddenly "Oh by the way. I have a sister!"

The letter ended there. "So Lexi is your sister Alex...But where did she go? And where are you?"

(A/U) Again. So sorry for the delay T_T
