Alright, again I apologize for anyone desperately needed an update to this little AU of Season 1. I get to a point where I want to write more and then find myself doing something completely different (which is weird since I have tons of free time.)

So here's the next chapter. It's going to focus on Summer and her reaction to that night with Ryan.

Disclaimer: I still don't own The OC or Burke Williams. This is just a creative outlet.

Chapter 4: Burke Williams

After her night with Ryan, Summer needed some time with Marissa. She decided to call Marissa and find out if she wanted to go to Burke Williams for a Salt Glo.

"Coop, how do you feel about a Salt Glo with me at Burke Williams? I'm in need of some serious girl time."

"Sure Sum; I've just got to get Luke to leave me alone. He's trying to get me to sailing with him. After his stellar performance as a boyfriend last night at Holly's, he's not seeing me today."

"Alright. Get him off your back, and then meet me in Mission Viejo at 2 PM? I'll book the appointments."

"Sure thing, Sum. See you at 2."

After Summer hung up with Marissa, she thought about that party at Holly's. She'd had plenty of time to tease guys at parties before, but this time it was different. She really wanted to know Ryan, and instead, all she'd done was sleep with him.

It took her some time to realize that her night went downhill when she asked him to get that weed. Sure, she wanted to get high, but did she have to get so high as to lose all control?

As her head filled with all of the things that went horribly the night before, she pushed them aside, and decided to make a better effort the next time. She thought something about him was different, and still hadn't figured out what it was.

Summer's drive down to the Burke Williams was easy enough. She didn't have to yell at that many people—it was a good day for her. No rage blackout in the car, no damage to her new silver BMW.

As she parked the car, she saw Marissa's silver Jeep pull up and then Summer waited for her friend to come towards the spa. Marissa had a look on her face that told Summer the talk with Luke had not gone well. This treatment was going to be a total bitch-fest, and Summer was glad.

The two girls were sitting in their private room while two women were attending to the Salt Glos. Summer could tell Marissa needed to talk, but didn't want to start first.

"So Coop, it doesn't look like things went well with Luke?"

"Is it that obvious? Man, this is going to suck!"

"Wait…what Coop? Did you and Luke break-up before you got here?"

"Well, I wanted to tell him what an ass he was last night, and then as he kept denying everything I got fed up."

"But you and Luke have been together forever. You're Harbor's Zach and Kelly!"

"I guess, but even Zach and Kelly dated other people."

As Summer was being rubbed particularly hard, she thought about what to say to Marissa next. With Marissa so upset about her break-up with Luke, this was no time for Summer to complain about sleeping with Ryan. She didn't want to rub Marissa's face in the mud—even if it was sort of deserved.

"Coop, to help with the pain, this Salt Glo is on me!" Summer tried to say with enthusiasm.

"Thanks, Sum, but I don't think this exfoliated treatment is going to help," Marissa responded.

"Then how about a trip to the Pier for a carb-fest—Pancakes or burritos, your pick? We could invite Seth and his cousin—Seth's always good for a laugh, right?" Summer knew that this idea was going to go so poorly, but she wanted to help Marissa.

"Ok Sum. The Pier with Seth and his cousin it is!"

I guess I'm really bad with short chapters. Please let me know what you think of this.

What will happen at the Pier?
