First and Last Chance

---------------------------------

Summary: Major AU. Saturday detention always sucks. But when weird stuff starts to happen, it is anything but boring. Seth/Summer, Marissa/Oliver, Zack.

A/n: This chapter is dedicated to one of the most amazing and influential men that was stolen from the earth. I won't forget him.

Disclaimer: The OC belongs to Fox… and this is written for pleasure only, no money is being made off of it. The plot belongs loosely to the Breakfast Club, but not really after the first chapter.

"Gone"

---------------------------------

A loud splash told Seth everything he needed to know. He had successfully pushed Zack into the pool.

"What the hell are you doing Seth?" Summer shrieked.

"Trying to save Oliver, all right?" Seth snapped back as Zack resurfaced for air. A loud crash of thunder interrupted all their thoughts. Seth could have sworn that his heart skipped a beat out of fear.

Zack didn't say a word as he dove down deeper into the pool to try to get the now sinking Oliver.

Seth felt someone grab his arm and squeeze it tightly. He turned to look at Summer who had a death grip on his arm. He looked over her head and saw Marissa who had tears streaming down her face. Oh God, it was then that it hit him. Oliver could die. Really die.

The room was illuminated by lighting out side of the windows. If possible, Summer squeezed tighter. Seth didn't know what to do. The girl of his dreams was killing his arm because her boyfriend was trying to save her best friend's boyfriend from drowning… or getting electrocuted.

Seth was beginning to get sick and woozy again. The dizzy feeling was coming back. He closed his eyes trying to concentrating on not falling to the ground. If he fell, Summer would fall. And Summer needed him more than he needed him. If that made any sense.

Suddenly, the surface of the water broke as Zack resurfaced, dragging an obviously unconscious Oliver along with him.

Summer broke her grip from Seth's arm and ran over to try to help Zack get Oliver out of the water. Marissa just stood there, almost in shock. Or in shock. Seth couldn't tell. But he found himself going over and helping Summer pull Oliver out of the water. As soon as he was on the hard floor beside the pool, Zack hoisted himself out of the water.

A loud sob escaped Marissa as she whispered, "He's not breathing!"

Seth didn't know what to do. What was happening? Why was this happening?

Immediately after Zack got out of the water he noticed that Oliver wasn't breathing and tried doing CPR. Seth felt so out of place. Seth felt so weird so he walked over to Marissa and tried to comfort her a little bit, but she was such a mess.

She broke down as Zack continuous attempts are resuscitating Oliver continued failing. Summer was also getting upset. Zack was too. Everyone was. Seth's mind kept repeating the same thing, over and over again. "Please let him be okay. Please let him be okay. Please let him be okay…"

But he wasn't going to be all right. He wasn't going to be okay. Seth knew it. It was a feeling deep down that he couldn't get rid of. But he wouldn't let himself get upset. He couldn't. Not now. Not until this whole ordeal was over.

Not until everyone else got out okay.

"Son of a bitch!" Zack shouted angrily, and he finally gave up after what seemed like forever. Seth could have sworn he saw tears falling down his face, but that could have just been water falling from his shaggy hair, which was now soaked and sticking to his face.

Slowly, Zack reached down and put his index and middle finger up against Oliver's neck. They stayed there for a long time. Everything was silent. Except for Marissa's sniffles as she had the sudden urge to run over to Oliver. Seth just stood there, watching the Fantastic Four become the Fantastic Three as Zack removed his fingers from Oliver's neck and shook his head.

Seth felt horrible. He felt like breaking down, right then and there. He felt so out of place. Those four, they were horribly close. Anyone could have seen it. Even Seth, as much as they disliked him, and as much as he seemed to dislike them, he felt horrible.

Oliver wasn't a bad person. He was a little different, but he wasn't bad.

He felt the warm familiar saltiness of tears falling down his face. Time seemed to slow down as Seth watched the scene unfold before him. Zack slowly got up and held Summer close. Marissa stayed kneeling on the wet ground shaking Oliver like crazy. As if it was going to bring him back to life.

We all knew better, but it was still heart breaking to see it.

And Seth was watching this all as an outsider. He knew that the four of them had been close. Really close. But he couldn't imagine what they were going through right now. Sure, Oliver was his friend too, but they weren't really great friends.

He sighed silently as everyone else tried to calm themselves down enough.

He was gone, and there was nothing they could do. Seth wishes there was, but there wasn't anything. So he stayed there in silence, giving the remainder of the Fantastic Four to recover. But they couldn't take forever, there was a killer around, and someone was going to go next if they didn't figure out how to get out of there quickly.

---------------------------------

A lot of time seemed to pass to Seth, but to the other three it was mere seconds. Seth got tired of standing around, but he jus stood there. His tears had stopped a while ago. Now he was just scared. The thunder continued to rumble. Lightning flashed, but Zack, Summer and Marissa were oblivious.

Suddenly, the dizzy feeling overcame Seth once again. He didn't say anything, but he felt his brain telling him to sit down. He heard whispers from everywhere. Whispers all over the place. Quiet and not understandable at all.

"G-g-guys?" he managed to get out before everything faded into black silence.

A/n: Would you guys be interested in an OC/Star Wars crossover when I finish this fic? Or an OC/4400 fic… hmmm… car accident or little brother… older little brother… hmmm…

KC-Chick - Wow, I posted the chapter and like a minute later there was your review! It was so amazing! I am tempted to put Eric in, but that would ruin a lot. So maybe an Eric-like character. Who knows? KENNY! Haha. That is an amazing episode. I can't kill Zack. He is the comic freaking relief! Oliver, oh well…

nefftys - Oh, there will be. But Seth/Zack bickering is soooo much fun!

caring is creepy - Yes, Oliver is dead… ish… Zack can't die… I won't let him die. huggles Yeah, Marissa is next, I hate that poop.

JenJenxx - Haha…

emogeek1 - the bickering is the best part!

adambrody10 - I love that episode too, but they only play it around Halloween, which sucks! I also like the reunion on… and where they go back to like WWI or WWII… and the one where they go back to Shangrila… hilarious! The college ones are better than the high school ones though.. in general… Zack isn't that big of an asshole… he'll get better, hopefully…

sUmMeRiTh - Teeheehee…

aBBY - That it wasn't at all what you thought it was gonna be. Star Wars rocks… HAYDEN!

MaDdY-SpArKlEs - Sorry, my life went crazy.
