Chapter 3: That Stung

"Marissa wake up it's 2 in the afternoon!" Julie was beginning to get angry because her daughter had locked her door and wouldn't let her in. "Damnit Marissa open the door!" Just then Julie heard gagging noises on the other side of the door. "Marissa? Marissa sweetie are you okay?" Then there was a loud thud. "Oh my god!" Julie started to fight with the door trying to get it open.

"Hey Julie what are you doing?"

"Summer did Marissa give you a key to her room?" She was beginning to cry.

"Yea, sure what's wrong" She started digging through her purse trying to find the key.

"I think something's wrong with Marissa. At first she was just refusing to open the door then I heard her throw up and I think she passed out or something…" Summer cut her off.

"Here's the key" Oh God please let her be okay! Please! Julie then opened the door.

"Oh my God Marissa!" She was pale and pretty much looked like she was dead but she opened her eyes. "Summer call an Ambulance!" Marissa's eyeshad closed again, but she was still breathing. "Come on sweetie wake up please wake up! Wake Up!" Julie was becoming more worried as each second passed.

"They're on they're way. I'm gonna go call Jodie and let her know that we wont be there tonight." She couldn't look at Marissa when she was like that. Julie just shook her head yes. She was crying so hard she couldn't speak.

Summer walked in the other room and dialed Jodie's cell number.

"Hello?"

"Jodie um we're not gonna be there tonight" Jodie could tell that Summer was crying.

"What? Why not?…Wait Summer what's wrong and why are you crying?" Jodie was beginning to get worried.

"I think Marissa may have tried to kill herself again. I'm at her house the Ambulance are just now getting up to her room… I don't know what to do."

"Just go with her. Ride in the ambulance. You can call me back later." It upset her to know Summer was in so much pain.

"Okay"

"Hey it's all gonna be okay alright. Don't worry I'm sure she'll be fine."

"Alright. Bye."

FIVE HOURS LATER

"Hello this is Pizza Hut how may I help you today?"

"She's not doing too good, but they say she'll be fine in about a week. I'm really worried about her." Summer had tears in her voice.

"Oh hey Summer. I'm sorry I didn't realize it was you, and like I said I'm sure she'll be fine."

"I know. I know she will it's just…I feel like I could've stopped her from trying to drink herself to death…again by I don't know not talking to you and going straight to Alex."

"Well that stung a little bit." Well it's nice to know how she really feels…even though I wish it was a little different.

"Oh God, Jodie I'm sorry it's just I feel like we should've acted quicker." She inwardly smacked herself for being so hateful.

"It's okay." There was an awkward silence. "Soo…why did you and Geek Squad break up?" She was trying to keep Summer's mind off of Marissa and what was going on at that moment.

"I told you already…realizations" GOD! Should I tell her? I mean she kinda deserves to know considering the fact that she's practically my 2nd best friend. No!I'll just let her find out on her own!

"Well what kind of realizations?" She was beginning to get extremely nosey.

"It's none of your business okay. Sorry I gotta go Marissa's awake." And with those last words she hung up.

"Oookkkaaayyy."
