Chapter 7
Only One
Summer stepped into the Bait Shop, Zach standing by her side. She had left her purse and phone in Zach's car. She wasn't in the mood to deal with Seth calling and ranting on about being sorry. She was sick of Seth and his sorry stories. That's all he ever was, was sorry…Zach, on the other hand never has a need to apologize. He compliments all the time and constantly puts out that he loves her. Seth…Seth just gets jealous. It was cute at first. But then it got old! I mean, I'm surprised he doesn't get jealous when I'm talking to Coop. She thought with an eye roll. Oh yeah! Coop! Wait, it's only been like what? A half an hour? Marissa can't possibly be done yet.
Zach looked toward Summer and smiled. He was finally beating out Cohen. He was winning; Summer was starting to like him. She had to of…I mean, she did leave the Crab Shack with me. Not Cohen. "I'm really glad you decided to come here with me." He said loudly over the roaring music.
Summer looked toward Zach and smiled. "I am too!" Summer yelled back. She actually was. She at least needed one night away from Seth. She was glad she had decided to hang out with Zach, they never did anything anymore. She actually kind of missed him.
Zach shot Summer a grin. He was happy she had said that too. "Hey, Summer! I'm gonna go to the bathroom quick. I'll be back. Alright?" He asked.
Summer nodded. "Okay!" She yelled over the music once again. She watched as Zach walked off, she then turned and started toward the bar. She stared at the bar tender and shrugged. What the hell, one little drink wasn't going to kill her. So, she ordered a drink.
Jess sighed. "Okay, now all we have to do is set up Summer…Somehow. That's another part of the story that I need help with." She admitted.
Trey smiled. "Or…Instead of thinking of a plan…We could just set her up right now." Trey said with a small shrug.
Jess looked confused, then turned and saw the bitch, Summer Roberts. She was standing by the bar. She looked back toward Trey smirking. "Good idea. Okay, I'll go over there and talk to her and when I give you the signal…You shoot." She said simply, she turned and walked off toward Summer before Trey could say another word.
Seth sped down the street. He needed to get to the Bait Shop, and fast before he lost Summer to Zach forever. He couldn't live with himself if that ever happened, again. The more he thought of loosing Summer to Zach the faster he went. Now, he was going 50 in a 35 mile per hour zone. He quickly had to slam his breaks on when he got stuck behind a slow driver. Great! He thought. He bit his lip; he didn't have time for this. So, he cut in front of her and speeded up once again.
Jess walked toward Summer who had been standing at the bar. "Summer? Hey, you remember me, right? Jess…From the party. You blamed me for your lame ass friend's car accident? Sound familiar?" She said in a snobby manor as she crossed her arms over her chest.
Summer looked over when she heard the sound of her name. This was the last person she wanted to see right now. Okay, fine, 2nd last. Cohen was the last. "Oh yeah! Weren't you the drunk bitch who had sex with random's upstairs?" She said with a smile, but when she had finished her smile faded and she rolled her eyes. She grabbed her drink and began walking away from Jess.
Jess stared viciously at Summer, she watched as Summer began walking off. She ran after. "Oh, then you should remember when you told me to watch my back? Well bitch, I think maybe you should start by watching yours." Jess was about to grab Summer's glass and smash it on the floor, which was Trey's signal to shoot, but they were interrupted.
Seth ran into the Bait Shop, rushing around looking for Summer. He passed through people in search of her after about 5 minutes of searching he finally found Summer, he ran toward her, kind of out of breath from running around the Bait Shop, considering how hot it was inside and outside. "Summer…" He said taking a couple breaths. "Okay, I came here to tell you…" He started, but was cut off.
"Jess do you mind? We were talking here!" She said placing her hands on her hips impatiently.
"No…I don't mind at all." He said looking over toward Jess, he gave her a look and grabbed Summer's arm. "Let's move over here." He said moving away from Jess. He locked his eyes back with Summer. "Okay, I know I'm probably the last person you want to see right now, but I can't go without seeing you, Summer. I'm sorry I got jealous of you and Zach...It's just that…When I see another guy with a beautiful girl like you I kind have a tendency to flip out. I just love you and don't want loose you to anyone. You're the only one for me, Summer, the only one." He spilled everything he felt about Summer out and into the open. He just hoped she could find it in her heart to forgive him.
Summer sighed; she was annoyed when she heard the sound of Seth's voice. She was about to say something bitchy like 'just stay the hell away from me' or 'I better go find Zach, at least he's a nice guy' but neither one of those statements escaped her mouth. She followed Seth away from Jess' grumpily. She didn't exactly want to go anywhere with him right now. But, she figured she'd listen to the lame excuse he was going to give for being an ass. But…The excuse wasn't anything like she predicted it would be. It was actually…Sweet. A smile immediately appeared on Summer's face, and her vision became blurry from the tears that formed in her eyes. She grabbed Seth's shirt and pulled him close as her lips met his quickly.
Seth's eyes widened as Summer yanked him toward her for a kiss. He wasn't expecting that at all, but that didn't he didn't want it. He wrapped his arms around Summer's waist pulling her closer.
Jess looked toward where Trey had been standing, he was looking at her. She mouthed the words 'shoot her' to him quickly. She waited impatiently as Trey just stood there with a blank expression on his face. 'shoot her!' she mouthed again, with an angry expression on her face.
Trey just stared blankly at Jess' as she gave away a signal for him to use the gun in his hand. But, he suddenly felt like he couldn't move, like he was frozen. He couldn't do this. He couldn't take away someone's life like that. He turned walking out the exit of the Bait Shop and emptying the bullets out of the gun. He watched as the bullets escaped the gun and fell with a small thud to the ground. He sighed as he closed his eyes. It had been raining out; he felt the rain pour onto his body as he stood out side, ignoring it.
Jess ran after Trey and out of the exit. "What the hell are you doing?" She asked angrily as she grabbed his arm, nearly tripping on the bullets he had spilt on the ground. "You told me you would help me!" She yelled toward him.
Trey sighed and looked toward her. "Yeah, I know what I said!" He yelled back toward her, her attitude was really beginning to piss him off now. "Look, Jess. I'm not a killer and I never will be. I'm not going to kill anyone especially not Ryan's best friend's girlfriend. So, you can get this job done yourself. I'm getting the hell out of here." He stared hard at her then walked passed her, he heard her calling after him but he chose to ignore her and keep walking.
Jess called after Trey, but he ignored her. "Fine!" She yelled after him. She sighed; she decided she would just get the hell out of here. One of her friends was having a party; she figured she'd call for a ride. She pulled her cell phone from her purse and dialed her up, waiting for an answer.
Marissa finally got to the exit of the hospital and walked out. Great…It's raining! She thought. She stood outside the doors, and called Summer's cell phone; it rang and rang…No one picked up. She finally reached voice mail. She sighed angrily. "Thanks Sum. Now I'm gonna have to walk, fast." She mumbled to herself. She ran out into the rain, speed walking down the sidewalk. This may take a while…But eventually she'd get home…As long as Mike didn't see her and try following her, she'd be fine.
Jess' waited for a few minutes but in no time, Angela, her friend who had been throwing the party showed up. "Hey Ange, thanks for the ride." She said as she opened the car door and got inside.
"No problem, Jess. I mean, we are best friends." She said with a smile. She stepped on the gas and speeded out of the parking lot and down the street.
Jess looked out the window sighing, she someone walking on the sidewalk…She squinted and a smirk appeared on her face when she realized who she saw. "Wait, Ange, pull over here for a sec." She said as she kept her eyes on Marissa. The two pulled over beside Marissa and she rolled her window down. "Hey Marissa, you need a ride? My friend Angela here is throwing a party you interested?" She asked.
Marissa looked over and was a little surprised to see Jess and some other girl she had never seen before. "Actually, uh...I think I can-" She was cut off by Mike screaming her name out. He found her. She bit her lip. "What the hell, sure." She answered. She opened the back door and stepped into the car quickly, the car took off before Mike could even reach it.
Jess smiled. "Cool. So, Angela this is Marissa. It's cool if she hangs with us right?" She asked looking toward Angela.
Angela nodded. "Hey Marissa. Yeah, it's cool Jess." She answered, she grabbed a beer bottle out of the huge pocket of her red leather jacket, and she took a quick sip and passed it on to Jess.
Marissa's eyes were more fixated on her jacket then the beer bottle that had come out. "That's a nice coat…Where'd you get it?" She asked.
Angela looked at Marissa through the rear view mirror. "Thanks. Oh, I stole it from some bitch who was talking shit about me." She said with a shrug.
Marissa's eyes widened a little. "Oh…" She said in a low voice. Okay, maybe it was a bad idea to get in the car. Maybe she should have just continued walking. Right now, that was sounding like a pretty good idea to her.
Jess took a long sip of the beer then handed it to Marissa, she looked back toward her. "Want some?" She asked.
"No, thanks, I'm kind of taking a break from drinking." She answered, she looked toward the window. "Forever." She whispered barely audible for even her to hear. She couldn't drink, she needed to stop. If it wasn't for vodka then Ryan would never be in a coma in the first place. So, she needed to quit.
Angela pulled into the driveway of her house, it was an apartment, but it was well sized. Big enough to throw a good party. She stepped out of her car and walked up toward the door opening it; she walked inside and looked toward Marissa and Jess. "You guys can help yourself to whatever you want." She explained, she walked off soon disappearing into the crowd of people.
Marissa nodded and stepped inside. She looked around and saw the couches were pretty beat up there were stains from beer being spilt on the carpet, or that's what it looked like. The entire room was really foggy with smoke from cigarettes and pot being smoked. She sighed. This was a really bad idea… She thought to herself.
"Thanks Ange!" Jess called out to Angela as she walked off. "Come on Cooper." She said walking into the next room.
Marissa followed Jess' a little unsurely. She looked around the room they had just entered there was a lamp shattered on the once white carpet, now it was stained with things. She looked up and saw what looked like a 13 year old drinking beer. She couldn't believe it. "Y'know maybe I should go." She said looking over toward Jess then back at the way under aged girl who had been drinking.
Jess stared confused at Marissa. "Why?" She asked. She followed Marissa's gaze and saw a young girl drinking. "Oh, that?" She said looking back toward Marissa. "Don't worry about that. That's Angela's little sister, Laura. She drinks and smokes. She kind of looks up to us I guess. She told me I was her idol once." She said with a smile. "C'mon, let's go get a drink or something." She said. She walked by Laura. "Hey Laura!" She called out to the 14 year old.
Laura looked up and smiled as she took a sip of her beer. "Hey Jess!" She said with a nod. She stood up and walked toward her, she saw Marissa and looked back toward Jess "Who's that?" She asked as she took another sip.
"Oh, that's Marissa. She's gonna hang with us tonight. C'mon Marissa." She said grabbing her arm. "See you later Laura." She said walking by her.
Marissa stood there blankly, until she felt Jess' firm grip on her arm. She finally snapped out of the small daze she was in. She really didn't want to be here. The house was full of drugs and drinking. She could smell it perfectly in the air. She knew sooner or later the cops would come and bust this party. She needed to get out of her. But first, she needed to figure out a plan on how before something worse happens.
