Because Of You
"My daughter is not a killer," Julie said as she snapped her cell phone shut.
"Who was that?" Jimmy asked sitting on the edge of the bed.
"Teri Solis, from the country club." Julie said picking up a glass of water. "Clearly Marissa is the subject of conversation, hmmm if her stint at your going away party wasn't enough…"
"Image is still everything with you?" Jimmy asked.
"I'm not that shallow but come on I do have an image to protect that beast did attack our daughter and he's in a coma so whatever she can weather this."
"Did you just say weather?"
"I can talk like an adult when need be." Julie said grabbing her purse.
"Really, where are you going? I was thinking about lunch…" He said looking into her eyes.
"What kind?" She said dropping her purse and getting into the bed.
"We just did it this morning. I meant something to eat." He said.
"Who said you couldn't eat it?" She smiled.
Marissa sat in her room typing a paper for school. Her cell phone began to ring. It was Ryan.
"Hey," She said.
"What are you doing today?" He asked.
"Nothing sitting in the house." She said getting up pacing around the room.
"Lets do something," He said.
"I don't really feel like it." She said sitting on the edge of her bed.
"Its ok," He said.
"I'll call you later." She said getting up moving toward her dresser she opened up the drawer and pulled out what Seth calls her Magic Flask.
She looked at it and opened it. She thought about Kristin and put the top back on it and tossed it in the trash.
She looked at herself in the mirror. "My dads back," She had no reason to sulk anymore.
Seth, Ryan and Summer where sitting in the pool house.
Seth and Ryan were playing Star wars. Seth won.
"Who's your daddy now?" He said throwing down the controller.
"Eww," Summer said, "Can you two get off of your asses and lets go cheer up Coop."
"I tried," Ryan said.
"Well," She said, "We're going to the movies we should go get her before we go."
"Why so you can have another reason to talk during what will most likely be the greatest movie of all time?" Seth asked.
"Don't make me shove a light saber up your ass, ass." Summer said.
"Hey guys," Marissa said opening the door to the pool house.
"Coop!" Summer said getting up and rushing to her best friend. They embraced.
"Great to see you came out of hiding." Seth said.
Summer gave him a dirty look. "We're going to see Revenge of the Seth today."
"Sith! Sith Summer." Seth corrected.
"Stop talking geek to me." Summer said.
"Are you good?" Ryan asked.
"Im ok," She said. "How's Trey?"
"Vegetable- esque" Seth answered.
Marissa didn't know how to react.
"He'll be ok" Ryan said.
"They had something like this on The Valley," Summer said. "Anyway are we going to the seniors graduation party tonight?"
"Sounds like fun," Marissa said, "Just what I need another rager."
"This time no one will be floating in the pool." Ryan said.
"Lets go," Seth said, "I have to consume this movie like three times this weekend."
"Right," Summer said getting up. "George Lucas is such an ass."
At the hospital Trey laid there unconscious Jess was at his bedside.
"His lung had collapsed so he needs this machine to breathe." The doctor told her as he gave her a look of hopefulness as he turned and walked out of the room.
She grabbed his hand. "I'll make her pay." She whispered to herself slightly stroking the gun in her purse. Her cell rang.
"Yeah, the graduation party sounds hot..."
