A/N: I'm getting sick of fluff. I need anger, depression. Something! This chapter will be set mostly in Hawaii, or on the plane. Don't know. Sorry about the long wait again, yesterday was the funeral but I don't have to work today so I'm hoping to get in 2 chapters. Cram Time!
"Hawaii. Damn Coop, congrats," Summer and Marissa sat in the Cohen's kitchen, munching on bagels and waiting for the guys to get up.
"Huh?" Marissa looks up from her latte, clearing not paying attention.
"A romantic vacation to Hawaii, with Chino… oh oh, anyone see where I'm going?" Summer raised up her shoulders and turned her head to the side, smiling. Marissa laughed and hit her on the shoulder, smiling.
"Don't forget, we're staying with my dad," Marissa looked outside the shore. She missed her dad so much, and getting to see him would be exciting.
"Morning ladies."
"Sandy," Marissa walks up, taking the plane tickets he's handing her.
"Mr. C."
Ryan walked in from the entrance room, wrapping his hands around Marissa's waist and lightly kissing her shoulder and cheek, "Morning," he whispered.
Marissa turned around, shocked to see him ready so quick and gave him a kiss on the lips, "Where's your stuff?"
"Everything's ready to go, come on, I'll drive you two to the airport," With that Sandy, Ryan and Marissa all took off to the airport, leaving Seth and Summer alone.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Seth! It's like 8:30, what are you still doing sleeping?" Summer barged into his room, taking a seat on the edge of Seth's bed.
"So much for the subtle greeting," He sat up and gave her a kiss on the cheek, "What's going on?"
"Well, Coop and Chino just left with your dad for the airport, off to Hawaii. And um.. I have something to tell you," Summer nervously played with her long, light blue nails. She flashed him a smile and Seth just smiled at how cute it was that she could still get nervous around him sometimes.
"Go ahead," He motioned as after awhile she didn't say anything.
"Ok, well so my Dad is back from Thailand, but not for long.. He's moving there," Summer looked up from the purse she was clutching to Seth.
"You're movi-"
"No, I'm staying here," Summer cut him off, not wanting to upset him, thinking she was moving, "But I'm going to live with my Mom. I'm moving my stuff there. So I was wondering if you would come and help me. I wanted to tell you before but I was so nervous and upset about the move, but I k now it's for the best. So I can stay here, be with you, and my friends," She cuddled up against Seth's chest, laying them both down on the bed and wrapping his arms around her.
"I'm not one for lifting heavy things, but I really want to meet your Mom."
"I just hope it goes better then with my Dad," Summer laughed to herself. Nothing could be worse than that. Well, except for her encounter with Zach's Mom and Sister.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They were on the plane, this was really happening. Marissa was being chased by a physco ex best friend who now is after her? Newport never failed them on drama, did it? Marissa looked over to Ryan, who was clutching her hand tightly and his eyes were closed shut. She laughed, knowing she should of taken the seat by the window.
"Aw, is someone scared?" She mocked.
Ryan opened one eye and looked over, smiling, "I think I know a cure. Last time I got scared of heights, I found something to take my mind off of it."
"Oh really. I think I might of heard of that secret cure of yours," They inched closer, smiling. Ryan turned sideways and put one hand on the back of Marissa's head, slowly playing with her soft curls, and the other still grasping onto the chair. Marissa put one hand on Ryan's strong arms, the other still laying on her lap. She could feel her nose up against his, sparks flew through her body as they got closer. A year later and his touch still did this to her. Marissa closed the space and kissed him slowly at first, then let her tongue enter his mouth, exploring every part. He pulled back, their foreheads still touching, then went back to kissing.
"Ahem," they parted, looking the left, seeing a stewardess standing next to Marissa, looking very much amused.
"Hi," Marissa's cheeks flushed in embarrassment, and she looked to Ryan who seemed to have the same look on his face.
"Would you like anything to drink?" Marissa ordered for her and Ryan and Ryan slumped back into his seat. This was going to be a long ride, at least for him.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Summer!" Her mom flailed her thin bony arms around her daughter, then looked to who was standing beside her, "You must be Seth," She shook his hand and looked him from head to toe, smiling at her daughter. She was a spitting image of an older, stupider, Summer. Raven black hair, thin, almost too thin, and that smile. She was witty, funny, and very honest. Seth wondered why Summer hadn't spent that much time with her Mom. There must have been something he didn't know about.
"So, Mom, I was telling Seth about Chance. Where is the little dog anyways?"
"Oh, he's sleeping. Tired from the run we had earlier," She picked at her nails, removing chipped polish and dirt in between. That's what Summer did when she was nervous, so what was her Mom nervous about?
Summer pranced around her new house happily. So it was in the numbered streets, but it was cool looking. Unique, vintage. They had the retro look. And she was just glad to stay here in Newport, "Isn't this my room?" Summer walked over to a room with a small wooden frame door, starting to open up the door.
"Wait, sweetie. That's my room. Yours is over there," Samantha stood, making sure Summer didn't go in her room. Summer sensed the tension and knew what she was trying to prevent her from seeing. This couldn't be happening. She thought her Mom was better. Would her being here help?
"Seth, why don't you come help me paint my room. Mom, you should of saw the job he did on Marissa's room. He might not be good for heavy lifting, but that's what Chino's for. When him and Coop get back they can help," Summer walked over to the small hallway Sam was pointing to before.
"Chino.. Who's that?"
"My foster brother, Marissa's boyfriend, he's a long story really," Seth follows behind Summer and they leave Sam alone in the spacious living room. She looks over to the door that is now shut, and lets her shaking hand out. Trying to calm down. She looks to her door, then Summer's room.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Where is he? I hope nothing happened," Marissa flipped her phone open, checking for any missed calls. It had been 15 minutes since they landed and Jimmy was no where to be seen.
"Maybe he's stuck in traffic," Ryan suggested. Marissa closed her phone and threw it into her bag, sighing, her face growing pale. Ryan knew this wasn't about her Dad, but he couldn't blame her for being scared. He was. He walked behind her and wrapped his arms around her again, whispering into her ear, "It's going to be ok. You're safe now…. I won't let him find you," Marissa turned around, embracing Ryan, with tears now flowing down her cheeks, she knew he was right, but didn't ever want to let go. She was safe with Ryan.
She squinted her eyes as she saw a figure coming towards them, what looked like her Dad. She released from the embrace, wiped the few stray tears off of her face and ran to Jimmy. He saw her coming and stopped, embracing his daughter for the first time in months.
"I missed you Kiddo," he gave her a kiss on the forehead.
"I missed you too Daddy," she looked around the airport. This was really happening.
"Thanks for bringing her here. I have the sheriff on call if anything happens," Jimmy shakes Ryan's hand and pulls him into a hug, which surprised Ryan. Ryan was like the son he never had to Jimmy, and he hoped some day he would become his son-in law.
Ryan turned back to Marissa and took her hand, following Jimmy to the luggage carousel, "Ready?"
"Yeah," she grinned. This wasn't as bad as she had expected. Sure, there was the crazy Oliver part. But if it meant spending time with her Dad and Ryan, it was worth the scare. Facing reality is what was in the way though.
A/N: So that was chapter… ok I don't even know what chapter it was but I really like the idea of bringing Jimmy back. He's such a good dad. And if you didn't notice, the problem with Samantha, Summer's Mom, is that she's a recovering addict, but isn't doing so well. Might add more to that next chapter. And more S/S with some R/M romance. Yeah! Love the reviews, keep em' up.
