I promise I'll keep updating Ocean Avenue but this idea popped into my head and I had to write it! R&R

Disclaimer: I own nothing but the DVD…and the soundtrack now yay!

On with the show!

It was Thursday evening and 16 year old Katie Brown and Freddy Jones were hanging out at Katie's, seeing as they had Friday off due to conferences. The two were stretched out across Katie's queen sized bed, Freddy had an arm around her and her head was lying on his chest. They laid there silently listening to the TV, Freddy leaning down occasionally to kiss her. The phone rang, but neither moved. Once, twice…the ringing stopped. Katie could barely make out her mother's voice speaking into the telephone. Five minutes passed, the phone clicked into the receiver. Katie could hear her parents speaking in hushed tones…probably work crap, she thought…and then she heard footsteps coming up the stairs. Her mother walked in and immediately Katie and Freddy sat up. Mrs. Brown sat on the edge of the bed and looked at them, sadness in her eyes. Then, she looked down at Katie's bed, as if examining the pattern on the comforter.

"Mom…?"

Mrs. Brown sighed and looked up at her daughter.

"I…I don't know how to tell you this…"

"Mom what is it?"

"Summer was in a car accident…apparently she was going somewhere with her boyfriend and…"

"But…it's not serious; I mean…she's ok right?" Katie interrupted.

Freddy reached for Katie's hand.

Mrs. Brown now looked like tears were going to spill out onto her cheeks. She shook her head.

"I'm so sorry baby…" Katie squeezed Freddy's hand and stared blankly at the wall behind her mother.

Summer. Her best friend since fifth grade. They shared secrets, crushes, makeup…everything. No, Summer Hathaway couldn't be gone.

Mrs. Brown stroked her daughter's cheek.

"Katie I…"

Katie pushed her mother's hand away, a blank expression still on her face. Her mother nodded and stood up.

"I'm here if you need me." And with that, Mrs. Brown left, leaving the two utterly stunned.

Freddy, who hadn't felt the blow yet, watched Katie cautiously. She let go of his hand and stood up. She took a few steps and touched a picture of Summer that was pinned to her bulletin board. Then, she collapsed. Kicking. Screaming. Crying. Freddy ran to her and wrapped his arms around her. She tried to push him away but gave up when she realized he wouldn't budge. She punched the wall and threw something across the room, all the while choking on her tears and screaming for Summer.

"She's gone Katie…she's gone."

The thrashing and screaming stopped, but the crying continued. Her eyes overflowed with tears, her face contorted with sadness. She laid her head on his shoulder and he rocked her gently.

"It's not fair."

"I know, but we'll get through it…together."

Pretty soon the room was silent. Katie had cried herself to sleep and Freddy, worn out from trying to console his hysteric girlfriend, fell asleep soon after.

For all you Summer lovers out there…I love her too and I didn't want to kill her off but the story idea popped into my head and I just had to write it…please don't hate me! REVIEW!!!
