Revealing Too Much
Here's part seven, as always thank you for reading and please review. So there's going to be season two references and stuff in this chapter.
Part Seven: Falling For You/Losing You
She knelt down in front of her, and shook her lightly. Summer's eyes fluttered open.
"Hi." Summer said, stifling a yawn.
"What're you doing here?" Alex asked standing back up. Summer watched her movements, and eyed her outfit. Alex looked hot, she wore a tight black tee, and a denim mini. Summer continued to check her out, Alex cleared her throat liking the attention but also wanting to know what was going on.
"Sorry."
"For what?"
"Everything."
"Summer what are you doing here?" Alex asked again, eyeing her wearily.
"I wanted to talk to you."
"How long have you been waiting?"
"A few hours."
"Your lucky no one abducted you."
Summer smiled and Alex held a handout to help her up which she accepted without hesitation.
"Maybe we should go inside and talk." Alex said pulling out of Summer's grasp, and unlocking the door. Summer followed her inside, and watched as she set her bag on the countertop. Alex turned her attention back to Summer,
"So what're you doing here?" That wasn't the response Summer had been anticipating.
"I wanted to talk to you."
"About?" Alex's voice came out more sharp then she had intended.
"Maybe this was a bad idea." Summer didn't know what was wrong with Alex, she didn't seem like she wanted to hear anything Summer had to say. Alex tried to clear her head, but images of Seth and Summer on the pier kept piercing her mind. Alex rubbed her forehead, "Look I'm tired and I don't want to get into this right now." Alex said, trying to find a way to get out of the argument she was sure would erupt.
"What's the matter with you?" Summer questioned, eyebrows raised. Alex opened her mouth to say something, but Summer cut her off, "I came here, I waited for almost 4 hours. I wanted to talk to you but you don't even give me the time of day." Summer had intended to come over to Alex's apartment and tell her she cared about her, and that she didn't care what people thought. However the way Alex was treating her was making her re-think her whole plan.
"What's the matter with me?" Alex asked her voice rising, "I saw you today on my way to work with him. With Seth, I saw you two together. Do you know how much it hurt me to see that? Do you have any idea?"
"Nothing's going on between me and Cohen."
"I bet nothing's going on."
"Why don't you believe me?"
"I don't know Summer maybe because one minute you act like you really want this, and then the next your going back to a guy. Your exactly like Marissa, your doing the exact same thing she did."
"Don't bring her into this." Summer's hands moved instinctively to her hips, her nose flaring.
"Why?"
"Because you loved her Alex! How do I know your not just acting this way because I'm the closest thing to Marissa you can get?"
A silence floated into the room, each one of them looking at each other wearily.
"I got over Marissa when I realized she was gone. When we started getting closer, I realized I was finally able to move on. And if you can question me, answer me this. Am I just someone your using to forget about everyone else or am I just someone Marissa broke that you want to fix?" The last few words flowed out of Alex's mouth in a whisper. She wasn't ready for the truth and she honestly didn't want to hear the truth, regardless of what it was.
"You don't honestly believe that do you?" Summer questioned, crossing her arms across her chest.
"Well what other options do I have?"
"I thought we were friends…"
"Friends?" Alex asked incredulously, "I can't be just friends with you Summer. Don't you see that?"
Summer was quiet, she hadn't been expecting that. The whole conversation had taken a turn for the worse. Alex watched her, her own arms crossed. No tears were shed, this was going to either bring them closer or break them apart. Tension filled the air as neither knew what to say.
Sorry for the short chapter! Next chapter is the last one, i'll probably put it up friday or so.
