Chapter 6

Away From Me

Seth moped out of the Crab Shack, his head hung low. He slowly walked toward the range rover, pulling the keys out of his pocket and un-locking the door, thrusting it open. He stepped inside and shut the door behind him. He drove down the street and back toward his house. He just needed to clear his head, think of the exact words he was going to say to Summer. Then he would head to the Bait Shop and confront her.

He pulled into his driveway quickly and turned the car off. He took the key from the ignition and slid it into his jeans pocket. He stepped out of the car, shutting the car door behind him. He walked inside and toward the kitchen, that's when he saw his parents all snuggly near the kitchen counter. "Ah, guys, can you please save that for the bed room? Please." He said mockingly as he walked toward the kitchen table, taking a seat.

Kirsten quickly backed away from Sandy with a smile on her face. "Seth, your home…Um, how was your day? School?" She asked as she began going through the bag of food her and Sandy had just ordered. The two of them had been waiting for Seth to arrive before they started eating.

Seth shrugged his shoulders. "School was…School." He said lowly. He couldn't tell his mother that he ditched about 10 minutes in. "So, what'd you order for dinner?" He asked curiously.

"Chinese." Sandy answered as he began helping Kirsten with the food. "So," He began, "Did you go up and see Ryan at all?" He flashed his eyes toward Seth, then back to the food.

Seth looked down at the table. "Yeah…He's the same." He answered a little upsettingly. The more and more Ryan was unconscious, the worse he felt.

Sandy nodded. "I went up to see him early this morning, and everything was the same too." He answered disappointingly. He then drew out a long sigh. "Don't worry, I'm sure Ryan will be fine. He's strong kid, he'll make it through this." He answered encouragingly.

Seth looked up toward his father. "Yeah, how can you be so sure? He's in a coma dad. Not many people wake up from these sorts of things." Seth answered, rising his voice a little. He was more upset then he was angry.

Kirsten decided to step in now. "Hunny, I'm sure Ryan's going to be fine. Sandy's right, he is a strong kid. I don't think a coma would stop him."

"There are a lot of things that wouldn't stop that kid. Remember, with Oliver…He was hanging around Marissa a' lot and Ryan knew something was wrong. So, even though we had told him to stay put and not leave the pool house without permission, he did it anyway." Sandy said with a smile.

Seth smiled a little. "Yeah…And it turned out he was right about Oliver all along…" He answered back, he looked up at his parents who were now beginning to set the table. He stood up to help, and soon everything was at the center of the dinner table.

The three of them began eating, it was fairly quiet. Quieter then usual. Seth couldn't help but to keep his gaze fixated on the chair Ryan usually say in, the one across from him and near his father. He really did miss Ryan. But, there was nothing he could do to help him. All he could do now was hope. He thought for a minute longer, then it came to him, he knew exactly what to say to Summer! "Uh, mom…Dad. I gotta go I'll be back in a little while." Seth had already been up and out of his seat running out of the house before Kirsten or Sandy could say a word. He had to get to the Bait Shop and fast, before he lost Summer forever.

Jess walked toward the bar to get a drink after her and the guy she was dancing with early hooked up. They actually ended up hooking up in the bathroom. He was actually pretty good, for a beginner. The guy sadly admitted to her that he had been a virgin. So, she screwed him, just to make him happy. Then after that she dumped him. He had barely any experience, and that was nothing to be proud of. She felt a tap at her shoulder and turned around to see who it had been. "Trey, it's about time! I've been waiting for you for like an hour." She responded moodily, almost as if she was PMSing.

Trey sighed. "Yeah, well sorry I got cut up in some traffic. Anyways, what do you want?" He asked a little annoyed at her mood.

She smiled innocently wrapping her arms around his neck. "Just a small favor." She said with a little a small shrug of her shoulders.

Trey smiled a little. "And that would be?" He started with a rise of his eyebrows.

She smiled leaning in and licking his ear lobe. She pulled a gun from her purse as she pulled back a little from him. She held the gun in her hand, and looked up at him.

Trey smiled as Jess licked his ear lobe. But, when he saw the gun his smile soon faded. "What would that before? What…You want me to kill someone?" He asked laughing slightly, thinking she was maybe joking.

Jess nodded. "Yeah, I do." She answered 100 seriously. "Her names Summer Roberts. She's this huge bitch. I need your help making sure this bitch goes to hell, where she belongs."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa." He said holding his hands up as if surrendering. "Summer Roberts? I know her, she's Ryan's friends...Girlfriend. I can't kill her." He answered simply.

Jess crossed her arms. "So? Ryan's in a coma! He's probably going to die. So, will you just help me and stop acting like your 5." She answered. "This Summer bitch has to die, or get hurt...Or something! I told myself I would kill her after she screamed at me at this party then slapped me while I was drunk. No one hits me." She said confidently.

Trey sighed loudly. He looked up toward the ceiling; he closed his eyes debating on what he should do.

She sighed. "If you do this for me…Maybe I'll give you a special treat back at your place later." She said with a teasing smile.

Trey looked back toward her. He could never really turn Jess down. She kind of had this charm that he couldn't resist. "Fine." He answered quietly.

Jess's smile immediately widened and she pulled him in for a kiss, a sloppy kiss in which she shoved her tongue into his mouth. She pulled away and smiled. "I knew you'd do it."

Mike smiled and nodded. "Yup, that would be me." He said with a small smile. He figured he'd start over with Marissa, now that Ryan was in a coma he figured maybe he could start off by getting Marissa to forgive him and do the friend thing for a while...Then he could make his move. "Look, we need to talk." He started.

Marissa sighed. "I don't think so." She said turning quickly and starting down the hall, she began quickening her pace as he called her name out; his voice seemed to be getting closer and closer.

"Marissa!" Mike called after her. He began walking after her at first, but that soon turned into a jog as she speeded up, he finally reached her…Taking a hold of her arm. "Can we just talk?"

"Don't touch me!" She yelled whipping her arm away from his grip. "We have nothing to talk about. You tried to rape me and Ryan saved me. There's nothing you can say to me that will change that. So just give it a rest." She answered angrily. She turned and hit the up button on the elevator.

Mike sighed. "I know, I know…And I'm sorry!" He yelled toward her trying to get her to listen to him, he was about to go on until she interrupted him with an answer of her own.

"You're sorry?" She started. "And you think that's going to make everything better." She laughed a little. "Wow, you really are pathetic!" She yelled toward him, now on the verge of tears. The elevator finally reached her and she stepped inside. "Just stay the hell away from me!" She yelled as the elevator doors closed. She had to call Summer to pick her up, who knows if this Mike guy will follow her. He most likely will. She needed to get a hold of Summer and make her escape away from this guy.
