Chapter 5

Alone

Jess stood by the bar at The Bait Shop. She scanned the crowd of people for Trey, but didn't see him. She sighed as she watched the band perform…She needed Trey to get back here, fast. She needed to tell him her plan of attack for tonight…Or maybe this could wait until tomorrow night. It depended on how long it took for him to get his ass here! She stared out at the crowd of people and she could remember all the events of the other night…The other night when she and Marissa had hung out and Marissa got drunk. It wasn't her fault that she and Ryan got into a car accident. She let the flashback take over her…

Jess' Flashback

Jess opened the door to the bedroom that she and the guy she had met earlier that night at the party had made out for about an hour. Her vision was slightly blurred as she was still a little drunk. She slowly walked down the stairs, slowly, trying to steady her vision by holding her head. She finally reached the bottom of the stairs and the bunch of people around doing drugs and drinking. She started passed them, bumping into someone. She looked up and noticed it was Summer.

Summer stared hard at Jess. She crossed her arms for a minute; she had gotten a call from Marissa a little while ago, and later found out that Jess had gotten her drunk. She un-crossed her arms and slapped Jess as hard as she could across the face. "You stupid whore! You know this is all you're fault!" She screamed at her, she didn't even bother telling Jess the problem.

Jess' could barely even see Summer, she was about to pass her, without saying a word. But, that was when Summer slapped her. A sharp pain went through her face for about a second. She closed her eyes for a minute, steadying her vision. "What the hell are you talking about?" She yelled back.

Summer sighed. "You know exactly what I'm talking about! You getting Marissa drunk, now her and Ryan got in a car accident because of your drunken ass! This is your fault!" She yelled at her, she couldn't control her rage. She was just happy she told Seth to wait in the car and that she had to get something quick from the house.

Jess' sighed angrily from Summer's yelling. "Look, bitch. Just because your friend decided to have a few drinks with me and then got herself into a car accident doesn't mean it's my fault. It seriously not my fault Marissa is an idiot." She said shoving Summer into the wall and walking passed her.

Summer felt Jess' some what strong shove and she fell back into the wall. She gave Jess a cold glare as she walked by. She lifted herself away from the wall following Jess's toward the door. "Look, Sathers…You may think your cool just because you go around getting drunk and banging the first guy you see. But your not…If you ever go near my best friend again…I seriously will hurt you." She bit her lip… Well, okay…I can't exactly hurt her, but she doesn't know that! She thought. "You better watch your back." She stated warningly. She then turned and headed off.

Jess turned looking toward Summer, she still had firm grip on her head, trying to stop throbbing in her head from the headache she had. She rolled her eyes at Summer's comments, she was barely even listening. She would get Summer back, she would kill Summer easily. She could defiantly kill Summer Roberts before Summer even tried to hurt her. She'll see……

Reality

Jess finally snapped back to reality when the band had finally started playing their next LOYD song. She sighed, Trey still wasn't here yet. What was taking him so long? She sighed agitatedly and decided to go dance for a little while. She walked toward the dance floor, rapping her arms around some random guy's neck and rubbing up against him, that was her way of dancing. She was trying to seduce him, they could hook up!

Seth sat in The Crab Shack, alone. He glared at the menu, lobster? Bah, he always got lobster. Maybe he could try something different for a change? He decided he'd go with lobster, sense that was what he usually got; a waiter came and took his order after a few minutes, and the he just waited. He stared blankly at the wall, checking his cell phone for new calls or messages now and then. But, each time he still had 0.

Zach made it to The Crab Shack quite quickly sense he was pretty close by. He got him and Summer a table and began looking at the menu as he waited for her to get there...

Seth saw Zach sitting at a table alone and stared for a minute. What's he doing here? He thought. He's probably here alone…What a loser…Wait, I'm here alone… He quickly shook himself out of his thoughts and chose to ignore Zach.

Summer pulled into a parking place up front. She turned her car off grabbing her purse from the passenger seat. She stood up, getting out of her car and walking into The Crab Shack. She looked around and immediately found Zach; she sat down across from him. She didn't notice Seth sense her back was facing him. "Hey." She said with a small smile. "So, Zach…What was it you wanted to talk to me about?" She asked curiously.

Zach looked a grin immediately shot across his lips when he had seen Summer. She was beautiful, her dark hair and chocolate brown eyes. He had never seen a prettier girl. He loved her; he just wished she felt the same way about him. Maybe she did? Now was his chance to find out. "Hey, uh, well…" He started, "I asked you here today because…Look, Summer I love you. I love everything about you. You're so beautiful and I want to be with you. Cohen…He doesn't love you or know you the way I do. He sailed away from you and I stuck by you this whole Summer…And I'm not leaving your side like Cohen did." He explained meaningfully.

Seth looked back toward Zach; he noticed Zach has company now. Now he felt like a loser. He squinted trying to get a good look…Wait! He had seen that hair before, he couldn't forget. Summer! What was she doing here? With Zach? He decided to stay calm and just listen in on the conversation the two had been having. He heard Zach say something about I'm not leaving your side like Cohen did. You've got to be kidding me! Summer would never believe his cheesy lines of trying to steal her away from him...Would she?

A smile played across Summer's lips. "Aww, Zach…That's so sweet." That was all she could say. Everything that just come out of Zach's mouth was so meaningful to her. He was so sweet, but, wait, no! She loved Seth. Not Zach… "Thanks Zach. You're such a great guy…But…" She was about to continue until suddenly, she got interrupted.

Seth's mouth dropped open. Summer actually bought all that bullshit about loving her? He just wanted to get her into bed! He's a water polo player, that's what they do! "That's it, the gloves her coming off." He muttered as he threw down his menu and barged over to their table. "Zach…Summer…Wow, I didn't know you guys were here." He said, with his sarcastic shocking face.

Summer looked up and saw Seth; sigh escaped her mouth as she looked down at the table.

Zach also sighed. "Yeah, we're here and were kind of busy…So can you maybe leave us alone?" Zach asked trying to tone down his anger at Seth interrupting.

Seth crossed his arms. "No, no way! Whatever you say to Summer you can say to me too. I mean, she is my girlfriend. Hey, you guys don't mind if I join you do you?" He saw words forming from Zach's mouth and rapidly invited himself as if he had gotten an answer. "Thanks!" He said cheerfully as he sat down next to Summer. "So, what were you guys talking about?"

"Look, Cohen. I really kind of need to talk to Summer alone…So would you mind maybe leav-" He tried to say, until yet again Seth babbled on, cutting him off.

"Hey! Have you ever tried there fried clams? I never have but I heard they were supposed to be good. How about you guys?" He asked, trying to avoid Zach asking for Summer alone.

Summer gave Seth a glare. "Seth…You could you maybe just give me and Zach a minute? I really need to talk to him…Alone." She stated, hoping he would get the drift.

Seth looked toward Summer. "Wow…So, you can tell him how sweet he is for being a replacement for me all summer? So, you can tell him you love him and that you're going to break up with me?" Seth tried to stop himself but he couldn't all of these questions kept popping out of his mouth uncontrollably. He knew what Zach had said really meant something to Summer. Truthfully, he was afraid of loosing her.

Summer stared coldly at him. "Y'know what? Zach let's go." She stood up pushing passed Seth, getting out of the booth. "Let's go talk, maybe at The Bait Shop or something." She looked back at Seth, and then made her way for the exit with Zach at her side.

"Summer! Summer, wait!" Seth yelled after her. "Look, I'm sorry…I just…" He started, trying to find the right words.

Summer turned around. "Cohen, just…Don't. I can't believe you were spying on me and Zach. You were listening to our conversation! You know if it was that important then I'd tell you about it. I wouldn't keep things from you. But, obviously…You don't trust me enough too. So, I'll just talk to you later." She said storming out of The Crab Shack with Zach at her side.

Seth sighed angrily as he watched the love of his life take off with the evil-graphic-novel-back-stabbing-fiend. It pained him to see it. He collapsed back down in the booth, alone. Once again, now…He didn't have Ryan…Or Summer. Seth Cohen…Was alone.

Marissa finally reached Ryan's room. She took a deep breath, and turned the handle of the door…But then she stopped as someone had grabbed her arm. She turned quickly to see a guy she had never seen before, she quickly pulled her hand away. "Do I know you?"

The guy smiled toward her. "Marissa, come…Don't act like a stranger." He said with a smirk. "Remember, the party the other night? Me and you…We were going to have sex…Until that annoying ass Chino boy showed up and ruined it." He said, his smirk growing wider.

Marissa thought for a minute, then she remembered…Bits and pieces of the nights events. He tried raping her…But Ryan had come and saved her. She remembered perfectly. "Mike…" She said softly.
