Back at the club Seth was the only one left there. Dancing by himself, and having fun doing it he accidentally bumped into a girl and knocked her drink over. "I am so sorry, I'll buy you another one." He said as he turned around.
"Ironist?"
"Lady Luck?"
Without any more hesitation Seth took over his glassed and through them aside before kissing his cyber girl. They broke away, both smiling from ear to ear. "Name's Seth."
"Anna."
Outside Somewhere
It was a beautiful night outside and Marissa was thankful because the last place she wanted to be was at the hotel, or near anyone. She walked to the beach near the marina, where all the trees were light up, still thankful that no one was around to disturb her. The breeze from the water was cool and somewhat refreshing. Her mind was racing a mile and minute and she wasn't sure what to do next. She was still in shock over what Holly had done, and how screwed up things were with Alex.
She continued to walk until she found herself at the end of the pier. It was quiet as she sat overlooking the water, watching the boats in the distance, and hearing faint music in the background from one of the other boats.
"Do you normally sit out on the peer by yourself late at night, staring off into space?"
It can't be, she said she left. Turn around stupid. Following her own advice Marissa turned around and gave a small smiled.
"No, usually it's a life guard tower." She joked as Alex sat down next to her. "I thought you left already?" The brunette looked back out at the water.
"I was, I was on my way to the airport." Alex looked at Marissa, for a few seconds before the other girl turned to face her.
"What stopped you?"
Alex turned around, causing Marissa to do the same. "I did."
"What are you doing here, don't you think you've interfered enough and what's up with the bruise on your shoulder? Did karma finally give you a kick in the ass?"
Holly looked down at the bruise and back up at Marissa. "Rissa I.."
"Don't you Rissa me. I should push you into the water right now." She was beyond pissed and couldn't even stand to look at Holly.
"I told Alex the truth, about everything I did. I tried my hardest to keep you two apart and you just kept getting back together and I'm the queen of being a conniving bitch." Holly gave a faint smile and looked at Marissa then Alex. "It's fate or some junk like that, you two are meant to be together. To answer your other question: Summer gave it to me, and told me that if I didn't fix things it was going to be a lot higher than my arm. We all know I could never get over if something happened to this face." She nodded and walked away.
Alex looked back over at Marissa who was trying to absorb everything as she looked off into the distance. "So now we're in the same exact place, at the same exact time, and I hope feeling the same exact way about each other, right?" She reached for Marissa hand and intertwined their fingers.
Marissa turned to her with a smile on her face. "Yeah, looks like we are."
"How can you say this isn't fate?"
Marissa thought for a second. "Dumb luck?"
Alex smiled, her eyes glistening from the moonlight as she looked at Marissa. "Whatever it is I have never felt this way before in my entire life and I don't think I ever will again. You make me feel something so real, and raw, its amazingly scary and great all at the same."
Marissa was speechless. Hearing the music in the background Alex stood up. "Where are going?" Marissa's smile fading.
The blonde let out a soft chuckle, and extended her hand. "Dance with me?" Marissa took her hand as she nodded and stood up. Alex wrapped her arms around Marissa's waist and brought her as close as she could.

Alex sang the last part of the song in Marissa's ear causing her to smile. Marissa backed away and for a minute Alex thought she had done something wrong. She sighed in relief when she felt Marissa's lips on her own.
Next Day - Airport
"I'll call you when I land."
"Can't wait."
"Jo you've turned into mush." Alex said as she watched as Jodie and Summer hugged. Marissa laughed at her comment. The other two girls weren't even paying attention.
"I'll see you as soon as I can." Marissa told Alex as the flight attendant gave out the final boarding call.
"I can't wait, and I'll come and see you." She kissed Marissa before picking up her bags.
Alex and Jodie headed for the gate but Alex stopped and turned around, as Marissa waved at her. She put her bags down and went back over to Marissa, connecting their lips. It took Jodie coming over and dragging Alex away for her to leave. "Drive home safe you two, don't kill Holly."
"Yeah you don't want whore blood all over your car." Jodie commented. The two girls boarded the plane, where Seth was already waiting for them with Anna.
As the two Newport girls watched them leave they sighed and began walking back to the car. "This is gonna be hard Coop, you think we can do it?"
"Mhmm, I don't want whore blood all over my car." She joked. "I know we can do it, I think we've changed them for the better."
"This spring break was by far the best ever."
"Agreed, you never know what you'll find on spring break."
