A/N: Some complains about Anna being back and Alex to. I say Don't Worry.
After this chapter it will probably take a while to the next one because I'm starting to run out of ideas. But I don't think it will take more than a week. But if you got some ideas I would love to hear them. Love you all for the reviews!
Chapter 6 – It's A Good Start
Summer woke up when she heard knocking on the door.
Marissa drove her home last night after they had talked some more, she had some drinks at home and then went to sleep. She now had a really bad headache.
She slowly walked down to the door and opened it. There was Zack. They dated a while ago but after a while she broke it up. But two weeks ago she met him at the Bait Shop and they ended up together again. She hadn't told anyone yet.
"Hi Zack!"
"Hey sweetie!" He kissed her on the cheek "You look pretty bad. What did you do last night?"
Summer closed the door behind him, but she didn't say anything.
"What's
the matter? Did something happen last night?"
"Umm… Seth
came back."
"Seth? Seth Cohen? The guy who left you alone in
high school? What is he doing back here?"
"I don't
know. But it wasn't too good to see him. I think I slapped
him"
"You slapped him? Way to go Summer"
"Don't say
that. I was really mean to him. I mean he just got back and I just
slapped and yelled at him. I didn't do anything else"
"Hey
he kind of had it coming if he really left the way you told me. That
was a really awful thing to do to a sweet girl like you"
"Maybe
your right. But I think I should talk to him. Can you come with me?"
"Yeah
sure. I would like to meet this guy. See what he's like."
Right
after she said that she wasn't so sure if she wanted Zach with her
but it was to late know. Hopefully it shouldn't be too awkward
between them.
Seth slowly walked down the stairs of his parents house. He was always drowsy in the morning and the amount alcohol he had last night didn't improve his statement. He walked into the kitchen. Empty. The folks were probably at work. He took a bagel and some cereals.
What did I do yesterday? Hmm. Ah that's right, Anna and I talked pretty long and I guess I drank a little too much. I never really could handle alcohol well.
Maybe I should go talk to Summer. Maybe she's calmer today than yesterday. But again maybe she's not. I probably should take it very slow with her. Maybe just hang out here.
The phone rang. Seth grabbed it.
"Y'ello! Hey Ryan! Do you want me to watch Trisha? Sure I could do that. When? Now? Okay I'll be right over. Ok see ya!"
He put on some clothes and was out of the house a minute later. Both Ryan and Marissa was busy with work so they needed someone to be there watching Trisha. Why not he thought. We had a great time yesterday.
Summer put
the phone down:
"Sorry Zach. Can't do lunch now. Marissa just
called. She wanted me to look after Trisha for a while. She and Ryan
were busy."
"Okay but can't I come with me. Maybe you could
use some company:"
"Yeah sure. Maybe we can go out and grab
something when I'm done."
They walked out the door. Zach jumped into the driver's seat and off they went.
"Ryan.
Do you really think this is a good idea? What if Summer snaps again?
I would if I were her."
"Yeah but they have to talk sometime.
If Seth is going to stay in Newport they really can't avoid each
other forever. So why don't they try to take one step ahead
now?"
"Maybe you're right. As always. You are so wise" She
kissed him gently.
Trisha
walked into the kitchen. "Morning! Are you working today?"
"Yes
we are but Seth and Summer is coming here to look after you. Is that
okay?"
"Yay I
like Seth. He was funny. But are they going to fight like they did
yesterday? I was sad when they did that"
"Wait a minute. Did
you hear that?"
"Yes. Why does Summer hate Seth? I thought he
was nice"
"He is. But he was mean to Summer a while ago and
Summer hasn't forgiven him yet. But we hope she will soon. Okay? I
promise they won't argue today."
The doorbell rang and Trisha
ran to open. There was Zach and Summer.
"Hey
aunt Summer!"
"Hey Trisha! So what are we going to do
today?"
"Not argue or fight!"
"No of course not. Why do
you think that we would do that?"
"Because you did last night
with Seth"
"Yes I did. But I'm not angry with you"
"No
but you…"
"Hey Summer!" Ryan interrupted and then he saw
Zack "and Hey Zack! What are you doing here?"
"Summer hasn't
told you? We started to date again about two weeks ago"
"Really!
No she didn't tell me that, but good for you I guess. Maybe you
should talk to Summer a bit honey. About you know what."
"Ah
right. Why don't you come in to the kitchen Sum"
"Wait a
minute what's going on?"
"Just come here and I will tell
you"
Seth walked up against the door. Knocked and then opened the door. There was Ryan and some other guy.
"Hey bro! Who is this? I don' believe we have met" Seth reached out with his hand.
"Wait a
minute. Bro? Then you must be Seth"
"Yes that would be me. So
you have heard about me"
"Yeah you're damn right I have, and
to me you sound like an old prick"
"What? You don't even
know me. And why does he think I'm a prick? What have you told
him?"
"He didn't tell me anything: But my girlfriend did. I
think you know her"
The pieces fell in place and Seth finally
understood who he stood and talked to. Summer's boyfriend. And
because of all the shouting Summer and Marissa walked into the hall.
"What is all the shouting about?" And then everyone went quiet, before Summer snapped.
"What
the hell is he doing here?"
"I could say the same. About both
you and this so called "boyfriend" of yours. I thought I came
here to take care of Trisha, not for a relationship meeting."
"Yeah
then why don't you take off? Or wait. I came here to take care of
Trisha, so why did you think that… Coop! What is this about?"
Everybody turned to Marissa
"Okay maybe this was a bad idea. But I thought you might be able to get along. For the first you owe it to yourself. And second it will be hard to hang out with you if you're going to get berserk as soon as you see each other. And third, Trisha was really sad this morning, because of the two of you fighting last night. And I didn't want that to happen again. So that's why!"
No one said anything. They just looked at each other. Seth decided to break the silence.
"Okay.
I'm really sorry. This is entirely fault. Obviously this is going
to be hard, and that's mostly my fault so I should just go."
"No
Cohen don't go. That doesn't solve anything. I guess I have to
try and be calm. But it's really hard. But someone has to take the
first step if we are going to be around each other. So why don't
you stay here and we can watch Trisha together. Nothing more!"
"Okay
Summer. That sounds good. What about Goofy McTwist over there" he
pointed at Zack.
"What? Don't say that to him. Zack is my
boyfriend. But maybe he shouldn't be here right now. It might just
be harder. I'll call you later" She giggled inside to Seth's
joke about Zack.
"Okay! And if something happens. Just call me"
Seth tried really hard not to add a comment after that line and he managed to succeed.
Zack walked out and after him Ryan and Marissa rushed after before anyone managed to say anything and suddenly they were alone. They just looked at each other.
"You
know if we are going to do this. Maybe we should learn to talk each
other instead of staring. It will be more effective"
"Don't
joke Cohen. Don't think I have forgiven you. I'm just doing this
because we can't go on like we did before."
"Okay"
But he smiled knowing that this was a step forward and he was
relieved that they managed to do that in two days. They walked into
the living room where Trisha played video games.
"Hey Seth! Hey
Summer! Are you friends again?"
They looked at each other. "Yes
Trisha we are friends again" Seth said quietly to see Summer's
reaction. But she just turned her head away.
"Good!
Can we play some video games again Seth? It was really fun
yesterday."
"Yeah sure. But I would like to talk to Summer a
little bit first."
"No you two play. We can talk later. I'm
just gonna take some coffee.
She walked
out to the kitchen and Seth followed her with his eyes.
"Do you
love her?" Trisha looked up at Seth.
"I
think I do. But don't tell anyone. That will be our secret"
They
turned their heads to the TV and started to play and they both
smiled. Change was in the air.
