Chapter 4
"Y-y-y-you found something else?" Marissa asked slowly. She was begining to panic.
"I'm sorry honey. We did find something else," Dr. Schumer replied.
"What was it?"
"We found a cancer cell growing in your abdomen." There was a moment of silence, then Marissa broke down in tears. Dr. Schumer went over to Marissa and embraced her, hoping to comfort her. After 10 minutes of crying, Marissa stopped. She couldn't believe what was happening to her.
"Do you know what kind of cancer cell?" Marissa asked.
"No, honey. It's too soon to tell. All we know is that a cancer cell is growing there, but luckily it isn't growing rapidly. I'll have you schedule another appointment so that we can take some tests to help determine what kind of cancer you may have," Dr. Schumer said. Marissa thought for a minute, tears still streaming from her face, her mascara running.
"Will I be okay?" Marissa asked weakly.
Dr. Schumer sighed. "I'm sure you will be honey. It depends on what kind of cancer you may have. But I'm very sure that you will be alright. I'll call your parents to let them know. That's why I requested that you have them with you right now, but I guess it's okay. You can stick around for awhile if you want. Just make sure that before you leave you schedule an appointment at the sign-in desk."
"Okay. I will. Thanks Dr. Schumer."
"No problem, Marissa. Everything will be alright." With that Marissa was escorted out the door by Dr. Schumer and Marissa scheduled another appointment. Her doctor went to call Marissa's parents to tell them her news.
Two Days Later...Saturday
Seth put the key in ignition with Summer in the passenger's seat. He backed up out of the driveway and began their drive to Chino.
"We'll take the 101 north for an hour then follow the directions on this map I got on the internet," Seth said out loud, double checking he knew what to do. "Hopefully my parents don't call your house to check how I'm doing. They think we're over at your house 'celebrating.'" Summer giggled.
"There's Cohen for ya. Slick and sly," Summer joked. "If we get caught, it's all your fault Cohen."
"Ah, I'm sure we won't get caught. Remember? I'm slick and sly." Seth replied, laughing. Summer and Seth planned to visit Ryan in Chino. You could say that Seth and Ryan are inseperable. If Seth's parents knew his real destination, they'd probably come along and drag Ryan back to Newport, a not very good idea.
"Are you sure that it was a good idea not to bring along Marissa? I'm sure she would want to see Ryan." Summer questioned.
"Hm. I'm pretty sure it was a good idea not to. Think about it babe, if we did, God knows what they'll do the second they lay eyes on each other. And I heard from Marissa they didn't have a 'pleasant' good-bye." Seth replied, eager to change the subject.
"Mmm, I hope you're right baby." Summer kissed Seth on the cheek. It was going to be a long but pleasant ride.
Marissa and her mom spent the past couple of days shopping, spending time at the spa, and getting to know each other better. Despite of her condition, Marissa was happy. She loved that Julie and her mom was spending quality time together. Julie almost fainted when Dr. Schumer told her the shocking news, but again, stayed cool, and made this as an oppourtunity to get closer with her daughter. On this sunny Saturday, Julie and Marissa drove to LA and visited all of the stores on Rodeo Drive.
"What do you think of this top mom?" Marissa asked as she modeled a cashmere top in the fitting room in Rodeo Drive's Chanel.
"Oh my goodness, it looks great on you Mariss! I love the color," Julie replied, amazed. "Ah! Cashmere is to die for! $250? No problem. Let's take it. Hm..I think I'll get a black one for me." Julie went back to the racks of clothing while Marissa tried on more clothes. Tops, skirts, sundresses, shoes, jeans, sunglasses, and purses all priced from $150- $9,000 were all piled up in a stack for Marissa and her mom to buy. This wasn't all they were going to buy. Chanel was the first store they visited today and already they've spent over $25,000! Marissa and Julie walked happily out of Chanel, their arms and hands full of shopping bags. They decided to drop them off into Julie's BMW and shop some more. On their way to the parking garage, Julie asked, "So when is your next appointment Marissa?"
"Uh, I think on Tuesday at three," Marissa replied, struggling with her bags.
"Oh, okay. Would you want me to come with you? I'm sure Caleb wouldn't mind," Julie asked.
"Sure Mom!" Marissa face brightened. "I'd love for you to! I need all the comfort I can get."
"Oh honey, I'm so sorry for all the times I wasn't there for you," Julie said sweetly. She was happy that things were going with her and Marissa.
"It's okay mom," Marissa replied softly, although remembering all those times hurt a bit. "I knew you were busy and all..."
"I'll be with you every step of the way," Julie said as gave Marissa a hug.
"Thanks mom." They continued walking until they reached the parking garage. Julie took out her keys and unlocked the back trunk. They threw their bags in the trunk and went back to all the stores, prepared to max out their credit cards, hand in hand.
Summer stared at the map in front of her, confused. She turned the map in different angles and directions, trying to find what road would take them to Ryan's temporary home.
"Cohen, this map is giving me a headache. I have no idea what road it is," Summer whined as she folded the map and placed it on the dashboard. "The heat is making my pores clogged up!" Summer took out her makeup bag and smeared some cream on her face to get rid of all the oil on her acne- free face.
"Geez Summer," Seth joked. "Fine then, I'll turn on the air conditioner."
"Thank you babe," Summer replied as she put her Louis Vuitton makeup bag back in her purse. Seth pulled over, unfolded the map, and tried to look for the street.
"Cohen, those driving directions you printed out suck. They don't even give the name of the streets. They just give you a no good map."
"Hm..Shut up, I'm trying to find Indio Avenue..." Seth replied, tracing his finger all around the map.
Summer pretended to be outraged. "Me? Shut up? YOU shut up Cohen!" Summer bonked Seth on his head with her Vogue magazine. Seth looked up and began to play along.
"Ow! Well take this Summer scum!" Seth bonked Summer back on her head with his box of Captian Oats. They continued this for several minutes, then Summer attacked Seth's neck with kisses. They didn't care if they were on the side of the 101. Summer trailed her tongue up to Seth's mouth and they started a hot makeout session. Seth took the key off ignition. Summer pulled back, breathing heavily. "In the back..." They jumped to the back, and Summer pinned Seth to the backseat, unbuckling his belt and shirt. Seth's hands went under Summer's shirt, unclasping her bra. They continued to make out. Summer let out moans of satisfaction as Seth kissed her stomach.
