Chapter 7 shopping trips and heartaches

Max Brody looked out the window at the other cars driving past he along with his brothers, were being dragged around from shopping center to shopping center, Marissa had received a forwarded letter from Seth, in it was an invite to a school reunion in Hawaii. "mum did we really have to come why couldn't we go with dad and uncle Paul to the movies.. your always saying we slow you down now you want us to come its…well weird" Marissa smiled yes the boys could have gone with Cameron and Paul to the movies but seeing they wanted to see a movie that was not suitable for young boys they had to go with their mother.

" we only have one more shop to go then we are stopping for lunch, and no we are not stopping at any fast food shops we are having lunch with my friend Zac at a café you boys need to stop eating all that junk" said Marissa parking the car in the car park " but mum its yummy and all that other stuff is yucky" "no buts Charlie…café or no xbox after dinner" " that's black mail you can't do that" " Max…watch me"

An hour later while sitting out side a café waiting for Zac to arrive Marissa sat there looking at her sons playing with the dog they had found, it was perfectly harmless and turned out to be owned by an old lady who was happy to let them play with it. " Marissa Brody well its been a long time" came a voice from behind her " Zac yes it has been a long time, too long infact" Marissa got up and hugged her friend, " what have you been up to these past few years my friend working on other books my boys are big fans of 'My County Home' although they all have different favourites." Said Marissa looking over at them. " Well that's to be expected every one has their favourites, while all character are mine my favourite couple is Rachel and Michael" said Zac looking at Marissa with all seriousness. " Don't ask me how she is, I have not seen or heard from her in 15 years, she's my best friend and we both don't have time to even talk to each other on the phone last time I saw her she and Seth had broken up; but this is fifteen years ago so she could be married by now. Zac I think your chances of being with her have really flown past you now. While I think of it have you been sent a letter from Harbour about a reunion in Hawaii, the first thing I receive from Seth in years is a forwarded letter from Harbour telling me they are getting our class back together." Zac realised who that letter he had gotten this morning was from. " Hey is this Summer's writing I got a letter this morning, letter from Harbour I'm guessing." Marissa took the letter out of Zac's hands and studied the writing on the front. Sure enough it was her best friends writing she would know it any were, it was also hard not to tell who's writing it was, Summer's writing was her own it had this way of showing you that it was Summer's, " yeah its Summer's alright I would know it any were why do you ask?" she asked handing it back to Zac who would not take it. " Look at the name and address on the back" was all he could say.

"Oh…well it looks like they did get back together and got married, Zac neither of us were to know, we have not seen or heard from either in years." Said Marissa sad for her friend who so wanted to get back with Summer, but also happy that her friends sorted out their differences and had gotten married. No matter how much Summer and Zac may have liked each other, every one knew that it was Seth and Summer that belonged together high school sweethearts they were, unlike Marissa and her high school sweet heart Ryan , they had gone their different ways after school had finished Ryan had stayed in Newport while Marissa had moved away she wondered if he lived any were near Seth and Summer with what would know have to be his wife Natalie. She sat there wondering till she heard Zac talking again.

" Marissa I see you bought Summer's new clothing line that top looks great on you" said Zac. "huh…what? Oh yes this is one of many I have all of her clothes at home Cameron keep buying me them…look at the time I have to get back home Zac I know we did not have time to talk that long but I really have to go and my boys look like they would rather be at home now" said Marissa who looked at her sons sitting on the ground playing with the little dog they had fond they were not running around like they had been " ok well it was great to see you, see you around Marissa." Said Zac getting up and walking away. " you four ready to go home now?" she asked " yes please… and you weren't really going to bane us from the x-box were you" " now what gave you that idea"
