AN- Didn't you just hate my cliff hanger! At least I'm getting this up soon.

To adambrody10—yes I understand what your saying, and ya but I don't think Jimmy's boat was that big, good thinking though, I guess we must wait till the 8th to find out.

Disclaimer- I own nothing, and I mean nothing especially not anything OC related. So yeah I do not own The O.C

Danielle had suddenly barged into the Cohen house hold…The foursome all looked to each other and nodded, much like Summer and Marissa had done just moments before. Seth and Summer slowly began to inch toward the garage door at the back of the room. Ryan and Marissa stated to scream.

"Help Sa…"

But they were cut off, by Danielle, pulling out a gun. They all froze.

"Son of a bitch!" she screamed she aimed the gun at Seth's elbow, trying to aim over it, but making sure at least someone got hit. She pulled the trigger.

There was no time to flinch, no time to scream. Because the second Danielle pulled the trigger.

Nothing happened.

She pulled it again, still nothing. Realizing the gun wasn't loaded Danielle threw it on the ground and began to run. But not fast enough, Ryan quickly ran after her and grabbed her arms, and pinned them behind her. She was about as tall as him but much tinier and Ryan held her steady despite all her squirming. Marissa immediately grabbed the phone as Seth and Summer went up stairs to retrieve Sandy and Kirsten. The four of them bustled into kitchen to Ryan restraining Danielle and Marissa saying.

"The cops are on their way"

Seth, Summer, Ryan, Marissa and Kirsten sat on hard chairs in the hallway of the police station. They had been sitting in the same positions for about an hour. Seth had his arm around Summer who was cuddled up to him. Ryan and Marissa were in the same position, except Ryan's arm was around her waist. Kirsten sat with her legs crossed and her hands in her lap. They had barely spoken a word to each other. Summer pushed her self up from Seth's chest and looked at him.

"I don't understand" Summer spoke very softly

"I don't know why she did it either Sum" Seth responded in the same tone she had used.

"Did I do something horrible to them?"

"I'm sure you didn't Sum"

"But that's it what if I did and I don't remember it, what kind of person am I, maybe Danielle had reason for this" her voice was growing louder by the word.

Now Seth was mad. How dare this girl make Summer feel this way, like their was a reason that she should die.

"No Summer, No. She not right, do you here me. You're a great person and nothing you have ever done warrants what she was doing to you"

The other three people sitting with them were now glaring intently at the couple. Summer just buried her head in Seth's shoulder and cried. Moments later Sandy walked into the room looking just as exhausted as his family. He had been trying to get in contact with Summer's father, along with Marissa's parents, he was also trying to figure out what was going on with Danielle, considering Summer was his client.

"Summer" he spoke as she lifted her head off Seth's shoulder and wiped her cheeks with her sleeves. "Your dad got the first flight he could to come back" Summer was still furious with him for leaving, she did realized how ever if he hadn't she might be dead now. "Unfortunately the flight does not leave untill tomorrow morning. Marissa your parents are on their way."

"What about…" Ryan began to ask.

"Danielle" Sandy finished" "You better come with me"

Sandy led the four teens and his wife down a long hallway. Summer still tightly attached to Seth with her arms around his chest and his arm protectively around her shoulders. He tears had stopped, for now, but her eyes were still puffy and red. Marissa and Ryan strolled behind Seth and Summer hand in hand. They followed Sandy who was waling with Kirsten for about 5 minutes. Up two flights of stairs and twisting and turning around the lifeless gray walls of the police station. They finally halted at a big, steel looking door.

"Danielle's parents are here and she has been giving an attorney by the state. She is going to be question as to why and how she has acted. I feel you have the right to know."

(An- This would so not happen in real life, minors listing to a police interrogation! But its not real life it's my FF so ya)

Sandy ushered them into a small dark room where three men in suits stood, all looking rather tired and annoyed at the prospect of being there. Two walls were blank while one held the door they had just came through and another wall was almost completely taken up by a window. Through the window they could see a steel table with a chair on either side.

"They will be bringing Danielle in soon. You can see and hear everything she does and says, but she can't hear you or see you through the one way mirror" They all nodded their heads as Sandy closed the door. The room was cramped with nine people occupying it but they managed to squeeze in. About five minutes later a security guard opened the door to the adjacent room and led Danielle in. He hands were cuffed in front of her. She wore the same thing she had at the Cohen's. Tight black jeans and a red t-shirt that stopped right under her chest showing off her midriff, she had changed from earlier in the hotel room. Her hair was no longer curled neatly but was messed up and had frizzed in odd places. Her makeup was runny from tears, much like Summer's and her eyes were completely bloodshot. A tall man in a gray suit and blue tie walked in after her, sitting across from her at the table fingering some papers in a file. He opened his mouth to speak but was cut off by the young girl.

"Do you just want me to start from the beginning?"

"If that's what you would like" The man said.

"Well let's see, I wanted, no want to kill Summer Roberts…" Summer tightened her gripped around Seth as a fresh set of tear began to fall.

"Why" the man asked

"I'll get to that eventually" She breath, annoyed.

Danielle took off form where the man in the tie interrupted her, the whole time her voice was far from steady and full of fear, she talked and sat like a venerable child, her head held low.

"My first attempt was pathetic I admit. I got a group of girl's drinks and spiked them; I did this until they were drunk. Then I went to where I knew Roberts would overhear and got them to bad mouth her, stupid idiot couldn't even tell they were drunk. I hadn't worked out the plan to much, but everything that happened worked quite well into it. Soon enough her and Seth were standing closely together on the dock, mere centimeters away from the edge. So I crept up silently behind them, I couldn't just push Summer in so I had to push Seth in to. But I pushed him in such a way that Summer would turn and hit her head on the pillar, and Seth would be virtually unharmed. I hope he know how sorry I am for doing that to him, would you tell him for me."

The man nodded. "But it didn't work did it"

"Like I said, I was stupid to think it would, of course she wouldn't die. After my idiotic failure I decided that I couldn't just do it alone, Summer was always with her friend Marissa and Marissa's boyfriend Ryan…" he voice was becoming braver but not by much, she sounded like she was trying to show off to the man that she knew quite a lot about this girl and had tried to be smart about it, almost as if trying to earn respect. "And Seth" she spoke Seth in an extremely gentle tone that went unnoticed by no one.

"So I threatened one of my pretended best friends boyfriend into helping me."

"Pretend best friend, why pretend" the man asked.

"I don't have any real friends, I don't want them nor need them" she stated matter of factly.

The man nodded.

"I knew a lot about his girlfriend, she had had a hard time before coming to pacific. A couple of secrets had leaked at her old school and things had gone south for her from there. No one at Harbor but her, her boyfriend, and I knew the secrets, and they both wanted to keep it that way. I knew he truly cared about her and if these secrets got out again it would ruin her reputation and most likely push her over the edge. He sure as hell wasn't gonna let that happen so he agreed to help me."

"He agreed to help you kill her"

"No he agreed to help me scare her, I couldn't of told him I was gonna kill her, he would never agree to that, hell, I couldn't even tell him I wanted to hurt her a little" She said in tone that implied that the man must be stupid to not know this.

"It took me awhile though, he had a likening for this Summer, nothing more than platonic feelings, but feelings at that, fortunately his feeling for is girlfriend were much more than platonic and stronger"

"What was his name the boy who helped you" He asked as he jotted something down on paper.

Danielle looked at him curiously for a moment but soon looked away and started up again as though the question had never been asked.

"So after I roped him into helping me I had to come up with a plan to kill her. One day while at the hospital, I'm a candy stripper, I was told to fill in a couple of dates on this calendar. But I forgot I had placed a bunch of old file boxes in front of it earlier when a nurse asked me too. When I was leaning over to write on the calendar I accidentally knocked one over, the files almost fell out but I pushed them back in, and there it was, a report about how Summer Roberts had been hospitalized because she was allergic to some drug. My dad is a doctor at the hospital so that night I went into my dad's room, got his keys, drove to the hospital and snuck into the pharmacy and grabbed a bottle of the medication, it was pretty easy to find, I had known of a patient who needed it and would be picking up the prescription the next day. When I told Tim I needed to get this stuff into her drink and that would turn it green so she would get all freaked, he actually believed me. So we kept an eye out and when she went to get a drink Tim tapped her on the shoulder, she left her cup she had set down behind her while she had another one ready to fill in her hand. I snuck behind her and leaned over putting the smashed pills into her drink, when she turned around I said she was blocking the lids. Tim had no desire to stay and watch her nor did I so we left. Tim though we were going to be doing a bunch of little harmless pranks. But when I realized my plan didn't work and Summer was just in a coma I skipped school, everyday. Then she woke up, I was so mad I decided I needed to finish what I had started. When my pretended friends called and invited me to go on a trip with them I said yes, using that as an alibi to my parents."

"How did you get away with ditching school for all that time." The man questioned.

"My parents were on vacation, my brother was home but the school kept leaving message on the machine, I would always delete them, when they finally got in touch with my brother it wasn't until Thursday and he said he would make sure I went the next day, of course I didn't and then my parents came home and I left. I went to a hotel, using cash I had, stolen. I planned to kill her later, Tuesday maybe. But then my parents reported me missing and I knew I had to leave, forever. So I loaded my things and headed over to the Roberts house, Her car wasn't there, no ones was. Then i went to Caleb Nichols house, where her best friend lived. Neither hers nor her best friend's car was there. Then I drove to the Cohen's and I saw it parked in the drive way. I snuck around back… and you know from there."

"Your telling me you didn't make sure the gun was loaded."

Danielle contemplated for a moment, trying to remember something. Suddenly her face shot up "it was him he was in my hotel room that night, he brought my suitcase to my car, he must have unloaded the gun"

"Who"

"The boy I got to help me, he was all mad that Summer had almost died and came to complain"

Satisfied with her answer he asked the question that had been on everyone's mind "Why did you do this Danielle, what on earth could posses you to want to kill Ms. Roberts"

Though her long speech Danielle's voice had been shaken and vulnerable. Suddenly her eyes lit up with fury and she began to talk in a outraged voice.

"Why, why. Her father is doing fine in his practice, he's not dealing with multiple malpractice suits, she not going to loose everything, and her dad will give her everything. Her mother isn't an alcoholic that beats her when she drunk or high. And have you ever seen her, She's gorgeous, and all her damn life she has had guys drooling over her. She could have any guy she wanted. No one ever made fun of her or was mean to her. She had everything." She paused for a brief moment "And because she doesn't DESERVE HIM!" her sudden out break caught everyone off guard, especially Seth, who's eyes grew big at her last words.

"Who doesn't she deserve" the man asked, confused but not letting it show in his voice.

Danielle spoke as if he hadn't asked the question; her voice became more vulnerable then ever.

"HE loved her all her life, and she ignored him, he didn't deserve to be ignored. And then when she finally opened her eyes she still was cruel to him, but there still going, he forgave her. He loves her. He shouldn't love her." She began to softly cry. The investigator announced that they had had enough and the security guard began to lead her out the door. But then Danielle stopped and asked a question.

"There behind the mirror aren't they"

"Who"

"Seth, and Summer"

"No"

"Don't lie to me! They are" She ran towards the mirror. And threw her body against it screaming while banging her fists on the cold mirror

"I'm doing this for you, confessing so you don't get blamed. I did this for you! Cant you see"

The guard came and carried a screaming Danielle out the door.

AN- So there it is the explanation chapter, Danielle loves Seth and is insane(sound familiar, but I will address that). I have two more short chapters after this one and then the end, so please review I really would love 150 at the end of this fic.
