DISCLAIMER: Only own the plot.
Chapter Two: Revenge
Monday morning arrived all too soon for Summer's liking. She'd fallen asleep crying and woke up feeling just as miserable. Her clothing style that day showed it. Her hair was dead straight with nothing done to it; she wore just a clear lip-gloss. Her clothing was white cargo pants with black sneakers with two white stripes on the side. She pulled on a black polo top and grabbed her books for the day along with her handbag and car keys.
As she walked down stairs her phone buzzed. She pulled it out of her purse and flipped it open to see it was Seth calling.
"Hey Cohen," sighed Summer, "What's up?"
"Just ringing to see how you are," replied Seth.
Summer knew he was sucking up to her for not driving her home the night before, but she still thought it was sweet of him for calling her before school.
"Well I am fine," lied Summer, "So I'll see you at school."
"Alright, bye."
"Bye."
Summer flipped her phone shut as she hit the unlock button on her car. She got in and started it up, driving down the driveway glad to be leaving the place, even if it was for only half a day or so.
OC
Marissa walked into Newport Union with Casey by her side. The two had been up most of the night bitching about Summer and Ryan and even plotting a way to seek revenge on them both. Though was Marissa had never been one for revenge, she was considering striking out against her so called bestfriend and true love. But the question was how? Casey had said Johnny would have the answer, which was the first person the two came across as they neared Marissa's locker. Johnny kissed Casey on the lips tenderly before grinning at Marissa cheekily.
"So Casey told me you and Ryan broke up," he said leaning on his locker as Marissa opened hers and shoved some books in it and pulling out another one.
"Yeah, thanks to Summer," replied Marissa slamming her locker closed.
"Are you looking to seek revenge?"
Marissa smiled, "How'd you guess?"
"Johnny instinct."
"Any plans?"
Johnny grinned as he slung an arm around Casey's shoulders, "Strike for Summer's weakness."
"Her weakness…"
"Something she cares for the most."
"Seth… her boyfriend," said Marissa smiling a little more evilly, "This is so not like me."
Casey nodded, "Yeah but she deserves to feel the pain you did, don't you think? Come on Marissa, you said so yourself she doesn't know what pain is."
Marissa sighed, "So how do I get to Seth?"
OC
Summer arrived at school at her normal time and saw Seth waiting by the school name sign with his skateboard in his arms. Summer climbed out of the car and locked it before walking over to Seth, not even smiling. Seth greeted her with a hug and a kiss on the forehead as though he could sense she was not happy.
"Bad night, huh?" asked Seth as they walked into the school together.
"You could say that," replied Summer stepping up the front steps, "I just want to get this day over and done with."
Seth just nodded and walked beside Summer in silence too her locked where none other then Taylor Townsend was waiting. When she saw Summer, she was slightly put off by the clothing choice but gave her best chirpy smile ever. Summer merely grimaced back and opened her locker, stopping inches from smacking the fake girl in the face.
"Summer, I have a very important task for you do to for the Halloween Ball," said Taylor seriously holding out a piece of paper.
Summer slammed her locker shut and snatched the paper from Taylor and opened it. She read it and looked at Taylor as if she were delusional, "Pick out napkin designs and crepe paper colours?"
"Well when it comes to matching colours, you are the Queen at that," replied Taylor.
"Whatever Taylor," snapped Summer shoving the note into the girls chest, "Why don't you go and spend some precious time with your Dean?"
Taylor looked at Summer in shock before covering it with a fake laugh, "Oh Summer, you are so funny at times."
"Lovely to know," replied Summer before storming off to class leaving a stunned Seth and Taylor.
Summer sat in her normal seat for her first lesson, History. At this moment she wanted nothing more then a friend to talk too. She sighed and pulled out her books and pens and began listening to her teacher drown on about the ancient Celtics.
OC
"Excellent work today Ryan," said his tutor as they both packed up, "I believe we are further ahead then I imagined we would be."
Ryan smiled and closed his books, "So the essay is due on Friday, right? And those equations are to be done by Wednesday?"
"They sure are. See you tomorrow."
Ryan said bye and carried his belongings out to the pool house, just as Kirsten called him from the kitchen. He ran back in after dumping his stuff and looked at Kirsten expectantly.
"Ryan, could you do me a favour and drive to the store to get some more milk? I would but I have a phone call coming in about the business liquidation," asked Kirsten looking apologetic as she handed Ryan a ten dollar bill.
"Sure. Be good to get out of the house for a bit," smiled Ryan slipping the note into his pocket before heading to the front door with his car keys.
Just as she opened the door Seth was running up the front steps, "Hey man, where you off too?"
"Just getting some milk. How was school?" replied Ryan and both stopped to talk.
"Oh you know… school, but man Summer was in a bad mood. This morning a swear she would've ripped Taylor Townsend's head off if she were able too."
Ryan nodded, knowing Summer's bad mood had a lot to do with the Marissa incident, "I'd better get going. Talk when I get back?"
"Sure."
As Ryan left Seth walked inside, dumping his bag to the side of the door. He placed his skateboard beside it and headed into the kitchen pulling the fridge open to grab a bottle of juice and a chocolate bar. He sat at the counter and opened the bar and took a big bite as the door bell rang. Chewing the chocolate bar, Seth walked to the front door and opened it surprised to see Marissa standing there smiling at him.
"Marissa," said Seth after he finished chewing, "Ryan isn't home."
"I didn't come to see Ryan actually. I came to see you," replied Marissa with the smile still on her face, "Can I come in?"
"Ah, sure."
Seth stepped aside and let the young woman in. The two walked to the kitchen where Seth sat again looking at Marissa, who stood on the other side of the island.
"So… what did you want to see me for?" asked Seth.
"Well… I was wondering if we were still friends."
"Why wouldn't we be?"
"Well you know, the whole thing with Summer, me and Ryan. It would have a lot of impact on our friendship."
"Just because things between you three isn't peaceful doesn't mean it affects our friendship."
"Really?" smiled Marissa moving around the island to stand in front of Seth, "Oh Seth that's great!"
Before Seth could say anything or do anything, Marissa's lips were crushed against his, in a forceful yet passionate kiss.
OC
Summer backed away from the kitchen archway. Her footing stumbled a bit but she managed not to fall. There, standing in the kitchen was her boyfriend, locked in a kiss with her once bestfriend. Summer turned as a sob escaped her mouth and ran for the front door yanking it open to crash into a surprised Ryan. Ryan managed to hold onto the bottle of milk and one arm around a sobbing Summer Roberts.
"Summer," said Ryan standing the girl up right "What's wrong?"
"Summer!"
Ryan looked up to see a shocked Seth running towards the door with Marissa following a looking of slight guilt on her face. Summer released Ryan and turned to Seth giving him a glare of hurt, anger which added hatred to it when she looked at Marissa.
"GET AWAY FROM ME!" screamed Summer, the tears flowing down her cheeks one right after the other, "I HOPE YOU ARE HAPPY! BOTH OF YOU!"
"What is going on here?" came a shocked Sandy as his climbed out of his car and walked over to the scene.
"That is what I am wondering," replied Ryan.
"Summer, I did-"
"I don't want to here it, Cohen," snapped Summer sounding extremely calm then from before, "Go and screw Coop. I… I don't want to see you anymore."
Summer pushed past Ryan and ran to her car climbing in and driving off at top speed. Ryan turned away from watching Summer speed away and looked from Seth to Marissa. He pieced it all together and shook his head as a look of hurt and anger crossed his face. He pushed past Seth and side stepped Marissa before walking into the kitchen where he dumped the bottle of milk and change before storming into his pool house.
Marissa glanced at Seth who was just starring at where Summer had been minutes before. She walked out and into Casey's car and left Sandy to direct Seth inside.
Seth walked in and looked at the ground shaking his head.
"Do you want to tell me what just happened?" asked Sandy looking at Seth sternly.
"It's to much to explain," replied Seth calmly.
"And I have all night. Start explaining."
Seth sighed and began telling Sandy about Marissa turning up and wondering about them still being friends right up to when she kissed him.
"What did you do?" asked Sandy.
"I was stunned… I let it happen for too long. Then I saw Summer… that's when I pushed Marissa off me."
"Did you kiss Marissa back?"
Seth looked away from his father and gave a slight nod, "But I didn't mean too! I swear I didn't."
"But you let it happen, Seth and you shouldn't have. Now you have a angry girlfriend and bestfriend."
Seth sighed and looked at his father with pleading eyes, "What do I do?"
"You have to work that out on your own."
OC
Summer didn't drive home. Instead she headed to the beach. She parked her car and climbed out, slamming the door in tears. She ran to the beach and along the damp sand before reaching her hiding spot. She climbed over the rocks until she found her little cave. She sat in it and buried her face into her hands as she cried everything out.
She thought Seth was the best thing in her life, her rock, her reason for staying in Newport all together. But seeing that sight, him locked into a kiss with Marissa… it ripped her heart out and broke her to pieces. How could he do that to her? He didn't even consider stopping the kiss until he saw her standing in the archway with shocked and hurt eyes.
That, on top with everything else wrong in her life made Summer want to throw everything away, her money, popularity, her own identity. At that moment she truly hated being Summer Roberts.
OC
Ryan laid on his back starring at the ceiling. Once again he was brooding, over the fact his bestfriend, his real only friend his age, was caught kissing his once girlfriend by Summer. When Ryan thought of Summer's face, he knew that Seth broke her heart and made something else inside her break. Only reason Ryan knew that was because he had felt that himself once.
Ryan sat up, he couldn't sit and brood for the rest of his life. He stood up and walked out of the pool house, along the side of the Cohen residence and out the driveway. He needed to get away for a while, away from questions and the one person he couldn't trust at that moment.
OC
"Summer? Is that you?"
Summer lifted her tear streaked face and gasped at who was looking at her, it was Anna. Anna, her blonde haired friend and Seth's ex-girlfriend.
"Anna? What are you doing here?" said Summer, sniffling and wiping her tears away.
"Oh, I moved back with my family," she said with a little smile, "But you, your crying."
Anna held her hand out and Summer took it, letting Anna help her stand up. She stepped up onto the rock Anna was standing on and both sat back down.
"Want to tell me what's going on?"
Summer sighed. Her and Anna did manage to form a friendship, despite both vying for Seth's love. Anna looked at Summer worriedly and Summer sighed once more.
"Where do I start?" said Summer in a bitter tone, "When life began sucking or what has happened today and yesterday?"
Anna smiled a little, "Start with yesterday and today."
Summer breathed in a deep breath and began the recount of Saturday night, Sunday and what had happened an hour or so ago. By the end of it Summer was in tears again and Anna was shocked but in deep thought.
"So in the end," continued Summer, "I am to blame for it all. I broke Ryan and Marissa up, pushing her to go for Seth, landing me here with no one. I have a home I hate going too, a school with Taylor Townsend kicking anyone out who defies her law. Life totally sucks!"
"Summer, if Seth is going around snogging your bestfriend behind your back, what kind of guy does that make him? Remember he did play us both at once," said Anna, "Ryan and Marissa are none of your concern. Those two were just drifting apart on their own. You just made them both see it. Taylor… I remember her. Taylor will have her own down fall, you wait and see. Plus you got me as a friend! We can go to school tomorrow and show Seth he means nothing."
Summer smiled at Anna and wiped her tears away, "I'm glad you are back."
"Me too. I missed this place like crazy."
Anna glanced at her wrist watch and sighed. She stood up and smiled at Summer.
"I have to get home. I'll see you at Harbour tomorrow."
"Bye Anna."
Anna waved bye and ran off down the rocks, her now shoulder length hair bouncing as she ran. Summer drew her knees up to her body and stared out at the sunset. Behind her she heard a rock slide. She turned her head and saw Ryan jumping down from a higher rock and stepping his way over to her.
"What are you doing here?" asked Summer looking up at him as he sat beside her where Anna was minutes ago.
"Needed to get away from home," replied Ryan, "You?"
"Avoiding going home."
"That bad, huh?"
"You couldn't imagine it. A step mother always knocked out on pills or alcohol and a father who avoids all contact with me if he can… he only cares if I am getting good grades, socializing with the right people and dating a decent boyfriend, which I totally failed at today."
"That's not your fault."
"How isn't it, Ryan?" snapped Summer, "I pushed you and her apart, I pushed her right into HIS arms!"
"Maybe there is more too it."
"No, if there is and she kissed him, why didn't he stop it until he saw me? If he truly didn't want her all over him, he so would've pushed her away without any hesitations."
Ryan sighed, knowing Summer was speaking the truth, "Are you going to break up with him?"
"What do you think I'm stupid?" replied Summer, "Of course I am dumping Cohen. I don't care what excuses he uses, I am not going to look the fool."
Ryan nodded as she glanced at Summer, "Look, I may not be the most ideal person in the world to socialize with, but I have been lost before."
"I know where I am Ryan," replied Summer looking at him before looking back at the sea.
Ryan smiled despite the seriousness of what he was trying to say, "I mean I have felt lost before, like I had nowhere to belong or anyone to belong too."
"I belong to no one because I choose too. No man will ever own Summer Roberts."
"Summer I mean… like your heart doesn't belong somewhere or to that special someone."
"Oh," said Summer finally understanding what Ryan was saying, "But what else are you trying to say."
"Well, if you need to talk to someone, I'll understand. I've been where you are."
Before Summer could argue, Ryan stood and ran off down the rocks and along the beach.
OC
"I feel terrible Casey," moaned Marissa laying on her bed across from Casey's, "I ruined everything."
Casey sighed and propped herself up on her side looking at Marissa with slight annoyance, "You wanted revenge and you got it."
"Yeah, but I meant to hurt Summer more, but I think I did more then that to her. I think, I know it sounds dramatic, but I think I like… broke her spirit."
Casey laughed, "That does sound dramatic. Look, Riss, deal with it tomorrow. Right now I have a biology exam to study for and you have to finish that essay for English."
Marissa sighed and looked at her mobile phone. She didn't know what to do. Trust her to completely screw things up once again.
