Chapter 11: "Sometimes I choke on the smell just to breathe"
Hey guys whats up, short chapter, it is basically a time filler to set up for the next two chapters which I promise will be worth the read.

Ryan, Seth, and Dylan sat around the pool house nervously awaiting the arrival of Summer.
"Are you sure that she is coming?" Dylan asked nervously
"It is only 5:45 Dyl." Seth said putting his arm around her
Right then the door-bell rang.
"I'll get it." Ryan said
They were silent as he opened the door.
"Hey Summer, come on in." He said backing away from the door and leading the nervous girl inside.
"Thanks."
Summer stopped dead in her tracks when she saw Dylan. It had been six years. The last time they saw each other they were 11.
Flashback:
"You can't leave Dyl!" Marissa insisted
"I have no choice. We don't have enough money to stay. I hate my dad for what he did." Dylan stuttered between tears.
"Don't worry, we are always going to be together. We will all keep in touch always." Summer said trying to hold herself together.
All of the young girls exchanged glances as they broke down into tears, knowing somewhere inside the trio was never going to be the same.
End of Flashback:
The atmosphere in the room suddenly changed. Dylan and Summer rushed into eachothers arms and broke down into tears.
"This is getting to estrogeny for me, let's give them some time alone." Seth said touching Ryans arm as they went upstairs to his room.
The girls sat next to each other on the couch blotting their tears.
"It's been too long." Dylan said
"So how you been?"
"Good actually." Dylan chuckled "All of my sanity is tanks to the fact I left Newport."
"That being the case I wish that we would have all gotten out." Summer mumbled
"Why did you want to see me after all of this time."
"Come on Marlow, we have been together since we were in diapers. We have been through too much to give it all up. We have spent too much time apart and look where it's gotten us."
"I don't know how you ever turned your back on Marissa." Dylan said
"Me either."
"Especially her being pregnant and all." Dylan added
"COOP IS PREGNANT!" Summer said in shock

Jay had noticed a change in Marissa recently. She was more down than usual if that was possible. Liam had noticed it too. They were not sure whatever else to do for her, besides being there for her.
"Hey." Said Marissa walking into the kitchen yawning from her late afternoon nap."
"Hey."
"I thought you and Liam were going to be at the diner longer."
"Liam is going to close up tonight." He said leaning back on the couch, as Marissa went into the 'fridge to grab something to eat. "I am glad that you have been eating more." Jay said to her. "It looks like you have been filling out more."
Suddenly Marissa felt self-conscious, although she knew the sole reason for her slight weight gain was her pregnancy.
"Yeah, I guess you are right."

"I can't believe this. Coop can't have a baby. She is depressed and anorexic and-"
Dylan cut her off
"I know."
"We have to find her. She cannot do this alone."
"Well I have no idea where to start."
"Can't we just check the files in the computer to see if she has checked into any hospitals?"
"And what? Do you think I ma going to pull up the imaginary Hospital data- base in my head?" Dylan said
Summer forgot how much she had missed Dylans sarcasm.
"You should be happy to know that I am a candy-stripper." Summer said in a matter of factly tone.
"Why doesn't that surprise me. Well anyway Marissa isn't due for another four months."
"Well what are we supposed to do in the meantime?"
"We wait." Dylan said sadly "If there is one thing that we know about Marissa is that she is capable of taking care of herself." Dylan said trying to ease Summer
"That was the old Marissa. I have a feeling that we are in for a whole new ball-game."
