Part Two: Eve, Apple of My Eye
Alex slumped into the couch, and listened to the car drive away. Unsure of what she should do next. It wasn't even like she and Summer were together, they were just friends. "Friends" Alex muttered under her breath, rising from her seat and retrieving a beer from the fridge.
On the drive back to her house, Summer couldn't stop replaying the last conversation she had had with Alex in her mind. She couldn't believe she had just done that, and walked out. She had no idea what had compelled her to be so dramatic.
Summer pulled into the big driveway, put the car into park and headed straight for the front door, surprised to see her father.
"Hi daddy." She said stopping in her tracks.
"Where've you been sweetie? I've been worried."
"Oh I was staying at a friends house." Summer bit her lip, they were just friends.
"Next time call okay? I thought something happened to you."
"Sorry I made you worry."
"Just next time, be sure to let me know where you are. How are you holding up?"
"Surprisingly, I'm okay. I mean it really hurt when I found out but now its like there's nothing I can really do. Except just remember her. How's Julie taking it?"
"It's devastated her, she has to do all the preparations for the funeral and it's taking a lot out of her. I sent her and Caitlyn out to try and relax. But I see that as being impossible."
"Caitlyn?" Summer questioned, an eyebrow raised.
"She's going to be living with us from now on. I have to go now, I'll see you later." He said giving her a quick hug and peck on the cheek.
"Oh, and Summer?"
"Yeah?" She asked turning around.
"Seth came by a few times."
By mid afternoon Summer had showered, changed her outfit, made plans to meet Luke and found out where Seth was. She walked along the pier knowing that Alex was working at the Bait shop, and only a short distance away.
She stopped in front of a white sailboat and stood waiting. Seth emerged from behind the sail and jumped onto the wooden planks making his way towards her. He wrapped his arms around her, and breathed in her scent. Slowly she pushed him back, unsure of how she should be begin the conversation.
"My dad said you came by a few times." She said, crossing her arms.
"Yeah, I uhh didn't know where you were. And you weren't picking up my calls. I didn't know what else to do." He replied shifting nervously from foot to foot.
"Cohen we need to talk." Summer sighed aloud, this was going to be hard.
"Um about what? Look I'm sorry, for everything; the Bait shop, Marissa, Taylor, everything. Can we be okay?" His eyes were pleading with her, she looked away knowing she had to do this.
"Seth you have no reason to be sorry. It's just I need some time alone. I can't really do this right now." She said gesturing towards him, "I think we should take a break at least for a while." Her eyes cast downwards, unwilling to look at him.
Seth could sense this coming, she never used his real name unless it was something serious. "Summer come on…"
"I really need some time away from this okay? Can you just do that for me?" She looked up at him, and he gave into her demands despite the way it hurt him. He loved her too much to not give her what she wanted.
Summer turned around and walked away, while Seth watched her retreating figure. She called her father to let him know where she would be, and met Luke at the entrance of the Bait Shop.
"Hey Summer" Luke said engulfing her in a hug.
"Hi" She stated.
"So why'd you wanna come here again?" Luke asked sitting down in a booth.
"I like it here." Summer said looking around the club, hoping to see a familiar blonde. Summer spotted her right away, and throughout the night would periodically look over at her. After a few hours, it had begun to get dark.
"Well this has been fun, but I gotta go. I'll see you around okay?" Luke said giving Summer a goodbye hug.
"Do you need a ride home?"
"No, I'm okay. Thanks though."
"Yeah no problem, bye." He said walking towards the exit.
Summer turned around and looked towards the bar surprised to see a guy with spiky hair, she made her way up to the bar and questioned about Alex.
"In the office." He said using his thumb to point in the direction. At this point the club was nearly empty except for a few people sitting at the bar, finishing their drinks. Hesitantly she brought her perfectly manicured hand up to door and knocked. "Come in" A voice said from within.
Alex looked up from the calendar in front of her, and was surprised to see Summer. She rose out of her seat and told Summer to shut the door. Each of them took a seat on the couch, neither saying anything.
"Look I'm sorry about earlier." Summer started, playing with her hands.
"It's okay." Alex said, placing her hand on top of Summer's giving her a smile.
"I'm just, I feel like I'm invading your space and I just I don't know anymore."
"I know right now things are difficult but in the end things have a way of working out."
"How do you know?" Summer asked, her voice full of hope.
"I guess I just do." Alex smirked, leaning her head forward.
"Everything will be okay, I promise." Alex said, they were now mere inches apart. Noses grazing, Summer's eyes fluttered shut, as did Alex's. But before anything could happen, a knock came from the door.
Sighing aloud Alex pulled back, and took her hand off Summer's, "Come in." She said rising from her seat. Summer's eyes opened, and her eyes instantly connected with a pair of brown ones as she saw who was in the doorway. "Great" Alex muttered under her breath.
