*OK, the votes are in and I definitely think that I am going to be continuing *pause

while all of you rejoice*. It is therapy for me, since I am not able to watch my

show..sniff sniff. But anyways, this story is going to go on as long as I can write and

not make it completely boring! So you guys just keep on reviewing and I will be very

happy. Thanks for your input!*

The next morning, Summer hazily woke up. She and Marissa had more to drink

last night than they had had all week. She rubbed her eyes, trying to remember exactly

what happened. Marissa had caught...had caught Holly and someone...Holly and

Luke together! That's who it was, and she and Marissa had had the biggest wallow-fest

ever. Bigger than Mark Kinnens last year, when he cheated on Summer with her cousin.

They drank glass after glass of rum, warmed up microwave pizza in the kitchenette, and

ate at least five packages of Oreos. They both knew that they would have to walk hours

on the treadmill to burn all the calories off, but sometimes you just have to take one for

the team. Summer climbed out of the bed and headed to the shower. She'd let Marissa

sleep while she took her shower and then wake her up.

When she finished her shower and came back into the main room, she saw

Marissa rummaging around in her bag.

"Hey girl, you're up I see."

"Yeah," Marissa said, popping two Tylenol into her mouth and chasing them

down with a bottle of water.

"Wild night we had last night, huh?"

"I don't really want to talk about it now."

"OK...so..do you want to go get some breakfast and then we can go to

the..." Summer said in a faux-cheerful tone of voice.

"I really just want to go home."

"OK, when do you want to leave?"

"As soon as possible?"

"OK, I'll go over to the boy's room...Seth's and Ryan's...and ask them to take

us home. I am sure that they won't mind."

"Please don't tell them why we are leaving," Marissa said desperately.

"I won't...but what if they ask? What do you want me to tell them?"

"I don't know..."

"I'll just tell them to go and jack off and after they are finished, they had better

get ready to go."

Marissa let out a feeble laugh and turned back to her bag and started to pack.

Summer crossed the hall to Seth and Ryan's room.

"Hey," she said when Seth answered her knock.

"Hey," he grunted.

"We have a problem. Coop really really needs to get home and you and Chino

are our only mode of transportation."

"What about Luke?"

"Let's just say that he is ineligible from the picking process at this point."

"All right, we'll be ready to go in an hours," Seth said shortly.

And then he slammed the door in her face.

Summer stared at the shut door. He just slammed the door in her face. The guy

who at least four people told her loved her, slammed the door in her face. What nerve!

She decided to go down to the lobby and get tow coffees for her and Marissa, still fuming

over the previous event.

Upon arriving out in front of her room, Summer saw a boy's frame, sitting against

the door.

"Luke," she said harshly, "Move out of the way."

"Summer," he pleaded, "Just get Marissa to come out here and talk to me. I really need to talk to her."

"No Luke!" she said quite loudly, "She doesn't want to see you, and even if she

did, I would make the executive decision to keep her from doing it! You screwed it

up...it's all your fault."

"Come on!"

"No! You cheated on her, for God's sake! And with Holly on top of that. You

are such an asshole!" she spat venomously, pushing her way past him and into the room.

Across the hall, Seth and Ryan stood motionless, listening. Seth look sideways at

Ryan, as if to gauge his reaction to the news. Ryan looked back, trying his hardest to

keep the glimmer of hope he felt from showing in his eyes.

*OK, end of this chapter. Now Ryan and Seth know...what is Ryan going to do

with his new found knowledge. Not much, let me tell you. But you need to tune it

to just see what little he does do. I am so incredibly excited today, I just found out

that I am going to a John Mayer concert with my best friend for her birthday! It is

like in a month and a half but it will be so fun!!!*
