Hey guys, like always, reviews = no tears for Liz! Keep it up! I don't
own shit. P.S read the summary. It says RM and SS, so STOP BUGGING ME
ABOUT SETH AND MARISSA!! lol
Summer stepped out on her porch, she was headed over to Marissa's to see if she wanted to go tanning. The first thing that caught her eye when she stepped out of her house were the two white envelopes lodged in the door. They both had "Summer" written on them, and she knew from the handwriting that one was from Marissa and the other from Seth. She curiously grabbed the envelopes and tore Seth's open first and began reading.
Dear Summer,
If you're reading this now, I'm probably already gone. I had to leave. When Ryan's gone, there isn't really much for me in Newport, except for you. Please Summer, don't feel like I don't care about you just because I'm leaving. I just needed to get away. I know that you can still have a good summer without me. I've sailed to Tahiti with Summer Breeze, so in a way, you will be there with me. Please don't be angry Summer, I love you. If you weren't a part of my life I wouldn't come back. But I will, I just need some time to figure stuff out. I know this may sound selfish, but please wait for me. I need you in my life. I love you and I'll see you soon. Goodbye Summer.
Seth.
Summer wiped the tears out of her eyes. Of course she would wait for Seth! She loved him, and she wouldn't compromise their relationship for some make out session with the water polo team. She couldn't help but feel a little hurt that he was leaving, but she knew that Ryan's absence affected Seth more than she knew. She took a deep breath and willed herself not to cry, and then she opened the letter from Marissa.
Hey Sum,
Weird stuff has happened this year. I think the weirdest was that I fell so in love with Ryan Atwood. Now that he's gone I feel so alone, even though I know that I will always have you. I went over to the Cohen's house this morning looking for him, and I found Seth instead. He told me of his plans to go to Tahiti, and I showed up at the dock and demanded to go with him. I guess if you're reading this, he said yes, and I'm probably sailing right now. I'm not sure if you can understand why I had to leave, but I think that it will help me deal with Ryan. The last thing you need to worry about is me and Seth. First of all, he really loves you, second of all, there is no way in hell I'd hook up with him! (No offense) I'm sorry that we both left you this summer, but I know that you still fit in with the school crowd. I love you Sum, and always will. I'm sorry about leaving, but I had no choice. If I stayed here, I know that I would have destroyed myself with the parties and drinking. Please don't be mad! We'll be home real soon.
Love always, Marissa
Summer stood stunned by what she had read. Seth and Marissa together, in Tahiti? That just didn't seem right. There was a tiny part of her that was jealous and worried. Marissa was beautiful, and it was just going to be them for 42 long days. There was however, a larger part of her that knew everything was going to be ok, it was just going to be a long uneventful summer without her two best friends.
Ryan reached the auto shop in less than ten minutes. He walked directly up to the garage and found Eddy immidately. Eddy was bent over working on the engine of a beat up Honda. Ryan went up to him and grabbed his shoulder to reel him around.
Eddy was surprised to see Ryan, but he was more surprised to see that Ryan was fuming. "Hey Ryan! What's going on?" Eddy asked slightly concerned.
"Don't do that man," Ryan warned, "Don't act like you don't know why I'm here. You're lucky I don't hit you right now."
"Ok Ryan, slow down. I really don't know what's going on!"
"Eddy, drop the act!" Ryan shouted furiously, "I'm going to make this quick and you better not say anything to Theresa about me being here, because I told her I wasn't going to do this!"
"Whoa, SLOW DOWN, you know where Theresa is?!" Ryan wasn't even listening to Eddy anymore, he was so angry that Eddy wouldn't confess! "What the hell are you doing man?! We could have you arrested you know, first you hit Theresa-" Eddy cut Ryan off quickly, "Ryan what the hell are you talking about?! I have never laid one hand on Theresa!"
"Eddy stop playing with me!" Ryan commanded, "I saw her black eye, I know that you beat her! But then, you possibly get her pregnant and tell her to drop dead?!" It was taking all of his self control not to punch Eddy in the face.
"Hold up Ryan, Theresa is pregnant?!" Eddy asked with an astonished face. This took Ryan by surprise. Why would Eddy lie about not knowing?! Theresa said that she called him! "No-no, stop pretending you don't know anything Eddy! Theresa told me she called you! She said that you never wanted to see her again!"
"Listen man, Theresa took off about a month ago, I haven't seen her since! I swear to you, I did not hit her, and I did not get her pregnant!" Now Ryan was just confused. Was Eddy lying?! Why would Theresa say that she called him?! "I swear to God Eddy, if you're lying to me..."
"I'm not lying! If Theresa's pregnant, I want to know! But first I want to know why she's saying that I hit her!!" Eddy was fuming now! He walked out of the garage and shouted, "I'm taking a break!" Eddy sat down on a bench and put his head in his hands. "Why would she do that?! All I ever did to Theresa was love her!" Eddy looked up at Ryan with tears forming in his eyes. His sadness quickly turned to anger as he got up and started to walk away from Ryan.
"Where are you going?" shouted Ryan
"I've got to talk to her! I need to know what she's been saying!" Ryan knew that he couldn't have stopped Eddy, nor did he want to. He was also quite curious to see what Theresa's story was.
Ryan and Eddy got to Theresa's house quickly and they saw her entering her house with a bag of groceries. Ryan and Eddy barged into the kitchen after her.
"I thought you said you had to work?!" Ryan asked suspiciously. Theresa wheeled around startled by her unexpected company, "Uh, I'm on my lunch hour. Ryan, I thought I asked you not to talk to Eddy!" Theresa asked frightened, looking back and forth between Ryan and Eddy.
"Theresa what the hell have you been telling people?!" shouted Eddy.
"I-uh..." Theresa stammered nervously and shifted the bag of groceries in her hands. By Theresa's silence Eddy knew that Theresa had said everything that Ryan told him. "Are you telling people that I hit you?! And now that I told you and your baby to drop dead!?" Eddy moved closer to Theresa threateningly. Ryan watched from the background unsure of what to do. "ARE YOU?!" asked Eddy again when Theresa didn't answer. "WHY THERESA?! WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?!" Eddy shouted angrily! He approached Theresa and with one swift motion he hit the bag of groceries out of her hands in frustration. Food flew everywhere! Eggs broke on the ground and a milk container broke open on the floor. Eddy was unaware of this mess, he stood still staring at Theresa. Ryan however noticed one item fly from the bag in particular. A square box had flown towards Ryan and landed in front of him. He approached the box slowly, and saw that it was a box of Playtex Tampons. Now, Ryan didn't know much about women, but he knew that if you're pregnant, you don't exactly need tampons. He picked up the box slowly and inturrepted Eddy's shouting.
"Oh my God Theresa," Ryan started slowly as he held up the box for her and Eddy to see. "You're not pregnant are you?"
