Disclaimer: I own nothing so please do not sue

A/n: I am so sorry, some of you pointed out that I had had Marissa blocked from Seth, I completely forgot. It just goes to show that if you leave it for too long you forget what you write. I will go back and change it eventually. Marissa DOES go on the date with Seth so she isn't blocked. Sorry for the confusion.

Chapter 7

Ryan watched as the girls were having a competition. From what he could see, they were all trying to prove how and why they suited one of the coupled guys.

He couldn't help but laugh at some of the answers. One girl replied "I should be with Seth because he could do with a good woman to show him a good time." Ryan didn't miss the glare that the girl had received from Summer.

So far neither Marissa nor Summer had joined in, they just snorted at the other girl's responses. That was until one of the girls, Brittany, had asked Summer why she should be with one of the coupled guys.

Summer looked the girl up and down as if checking her for worthiness, after she decided that she was worthy she looked up to see where the cameras and Seth were, she hadn't spotted Ryan at the end of the bar.

"Well, I know for a fact, that Seth likes his woman to have curves in all the right places not some skinny tramp. He also likes a girl who can stand her own. Half of you lot fall at their knees and it makes them think they can walk all over you, guys don't want that. They want someone who they can fight with, someone who can challenge them but still love them at the same time.

"So to answer your question, I should be with one of these guys because I won't let them walk over me, and I can keep them on their toes."

The girls were shocked into a small silence. Marissa just shook her head and smirked; Summer noticed and decided that she would get her own back.

"So Coop, why do you think you should be with one of these guys?"

Marissa shot Summer a deadly glare who just replied to it with a sweet almost innocent smile.

Marissa had no choice but to answer. All of the girls were looking at her. "Well I believe that we only ever get one soul mate. Most people find them and let them go through their own stupidity. I lost mine, and now, I'm just looking for a guy who can keep me entertained." That earned her a lot of wolf whistles.

She just grinned at them and turned around to go to the bar, when she saw Ryan. He looked like he had been listening to their conversation. His expression was full of surprise, seriousness and amusement.

Marissa just smiled at him, and ducked to the opposite end of the bar. So far she had tried to avoid him as much as possible. She didn't want to ruin Ryan's chance at having a happy family. He had a kid, a fiancée and a great life. Why should she mess that up for him?

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

Seth watched everything that had just happened; he was sitting on the deck chairs in the shade, when he heard one of the girls bring up that topic. He knew that Summer had been avoiding him; he had been avoiding her too. He loved Anna, he always will. But they never had that connection, that spark that he and Summer seemed to have, no matter how long they spend apart.

He knew that Anna would see everything that he does while on this island and there was no chance he was going to hurt her by parading in front of Summer.

He couldn't do that to her, to himself or to Summer. It would be high school all over again and he couldn't go through that again. It would break him to lose Anna again, he just wasn't sure if he wanted to lose Summer either.

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

On the other side of the Island

Anna and Theresa are talking about Summer and Marissa.

"I trust Ryan, I do. I love him and I know he loves me. But I also know he will always have something for Marissa. I'm not stupid; I know he was in love with her. I just don't want to lose him to her. I don't think I could take it. I just hope that he loves me, more than he loves her."

Anna nodded as she sipped on her drink. "I know what you mean. It's exactly the same for me and Seth, I know he loves me but I know he loves Summer. I just hope that our love, our connection means more to him that she does."

Both girls sit there, drinking and feeling miserable until three guys go over to them. Mike picks up Theresa and throws her over his shoulder. Luke does the same with Anna and the third guy takes the girls drinks away from them.

Luke and Mike run over to the pool and throw in Theresa and Anna, following them almost instantly.

Anna and Theresa come up gasping for air, and pushing their hair out of their faces. "You… guys….are….so….dead." Theresa managed to choke out.

That started a full blown water fight. The other two coupled girls were thrown in also, and most of the single guys jumped in.

The camera panned out, leaving the girls screaming, and the boys laughing.

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

The next morning Brad goes into the boys and girls camp to deliver them some news. They would be given the choice to see what their partner got up to the night before, and also a chance to leave them a message.

Everyone agreed to watch the clip and everyone agreed to leave a message. What would they see when they watch it? What will their partners say about what they had just seen?
