CHAPTER 13: SURPRISE!
Marissa turned to her and looked at her with concern, "are you okay?"
Summer covered her face, "Chastity and I slept together…twice…and Seth knows, he left me last night when…well when he found us…"
"Oh my, God…" Marissa breathed out.
Marissa sat on the counter top of the dressing table backstage. Alex in front of her in one of the chairs the actors would sit in.
"So, they slept together, big deal. Summer reads gay a thousand miles away," Alex shrugged.
Marissa pouted, she knew Alex wouldn't care if they slept together…and just how was her gaydar perfect?! "Yeah, but Summer's scared. She likes Chastity, and she's never liked a girl before…and she feels horrible cause she cheated on Seth."
Alex rolled her eyes as she took a drink of her water, "she's liked other girls she just hasn't said anything to you until now because you're out. Anyway, is she okay? Does he know?" She wasn't sure how to respond the last bit considering she'd cheated on multiple girls in the past.
Marissa nodded with a sigh, "yeah, he left her last night. I guess he walked in on them."
Alex stood and raked a hand through her hair, not to untangle it but out of shock, surprise, and a bit of sadness as memories filled her. "I really can't comment on cheating since I've done it to all my girlfriends," she finally replied.
Marissa nodded, "I don't think its right but, she's my best friend and I want her to be happy. I tried to tell her its not bad to be with a girl, there's nothing to be scared of, but she's still scared that everyone is going to judge her cause she cheated on her boyfriend."
Alex nodded and picked at her fingernails, "its just part of the process, ya know? She just has to come around on her own. I wonder if Chastity knows?"
Marissa shrugged, "I have no idea, I didn't even know until earlier when Summer and I were at work and she told me. If you don't wanna meet up at the club tonight, I understand."
Alex shook her head, "nah, this won't stop me from going out. It's Chast's business. If she needs me she'll tell me otherwise it'll just cause an argument if I pry into her business. Summer's in good hands with her, if there's anyone who is more understanding and accepting about coming out, its Chas. She helped me. She and Jodie, but I'll always turn to Chas first. Where is Summer going to stay?"
"Oh, the apartment is hers, she bought it. Seth is the one moving out." Marissa answered nonchalantly.
Alex nodded and watched as the performers filed off set, "okay, well why don't we go get something to eat after this take? I'm starving."
Marissa found it weird how the blonde's demeanor changed so quickly, wasn't she concerned? Or did she just know Chastity that well?
