Chapter 35

Disclaimer: Usual disclaimer applies.

Authors Note: I really like this chapter and I hope you do too. R&R. Also I got a review that told me that my story sucked bigtime from someone who also said they didn't read it. I know everyone has their opinions but please don't go onto my story and review about how fanfictions and The O.C. suck because I don't need to hear your opinion. Sorry about my little rant but it just makes me a little mad.

Summer, Marissa, and the girls are sitting at the food court eating. Two guys walk by and were checking Marissa out.
Summer: God those guys were totally checking you out.
Marissa: How do you know they weren't checking you out?
Summer: Marissa look at me. I'm fat!
Marissa: You're not fat you're pregnant.
Summer: Same thing. Anyways they were so checking you out.
Marissa: Does it matter?
Summer: Yes! They were frieking hott!
Marissa: Yes they were but I'm engaged.
Summer: Doesn't mean you can't look.
Marissa: There is no point in looking because you can't have what you're looking at.
Summer: Well you could but that's considered cheating.
Marissa: Sum, I'm worried about Ryan.
Summer: Why?
Marissa: I don't know. He's been acting really strange. I mean he has barely touched me in weeks.
Summer: Maybe it's because you two have been like two ships passing in the wind.
Marissa: What do you mean by that?
Summer: Well, he gets up in the morning then leaves for work then when he gets home you leave for classes.
Marissa: Yeah, but we still have weekends and still he doesn't seem interested in having sex.
Summer: You guys are always hanging with us on the weekends.
Marissa: I don't know what his deal is.
Summer: You guys need a weekend away.
Marissa: Yeah, we do. I suggested that we take a weekend but he just says that we have too much to worry about right now.
Summer: That's the biggest load of crap I've ever heard. Next Friday I am taking Parker and you two are going to have a weekend alone.
Marissa: I can't let you do that. You're pregnant and already have three kids to worry about you don't need a fourth one to worry about.
Summer: I'm not asking you. I'm telling you that I'm taking Parker next Friday and you and Ryan are going to enjoy a weekend without us and Parker.
Marissa: Okay. Only if Seth and Ryan agree though.
Summer: Okay deal. Now I'm finished eating what do you want to do next.
Marissa: I don't know the girls look like they are kind of tired. How about we take them to go play.
Summer: You girls want to go play?
Alexis: Yeah!
Summer: Okay.

They all got up and threw away their food and took the girls to the kid playroom in the mall. The girls went to go play and Marissa and Summer sat down on some chairs.
Marissa: Ryan said it was okay if the kids stay with us so I guess you and Seth are going to have some alone time.
Summer: Oh that reminds me that I need to call him and run this past him.
Marissa: Okay.
Summer got out her phone and dialed Seth.
Seth: Hello.
Summer: Hey, what's wrong?
Seth: It's Ryan. I can't explain over the phone but I'm bringing Parker home tonight. I know you planned for the kids to stay over there but him and Marissa need to talk.
Summer: Okay but will you explain this later?
Seth: Yeah, I gotta go. Come on back so that we can go home. I really don't want to be around him right now.
Summer: Okay we're on our way.
Seth: Okay bye.
Summer: Bye.
Summer hung up the phone and looked over at Marissa with a strange look on her face.
Marissa: What is it?
Summer: Well, Seth said we need to come home and we are taking Parker with us tonight.
Marissa: Why?
Summer: I don't know he was acting really weird.
Marissa: Seth always acts really weird.
Summer: I mean weirder than normal. Anyways he said that Ryan and you need to have a talk.
Marissa: Well, then I guess it's time to get home then.
Summer: Lexy Ana come on we are going home.

She looked around and didn't see the girls anywhere.
Summer: Alexis Nichole and Adriana Renee Cohen you better be in front of me in ten seconds or you'll be in big trouble!
Summer looked around and the girls came up.
Alexis: Come on mom can we have five more minutes please?
Summer: No way little missy you are already in big enough trouble for what you just pulled.
Adriana: Come on mom.
Summer: No now come on or your going to have 30 minutes of timeout.
Alexis: Fine!
Summer grabbed both the girls hands and started walking out of the mall when they noticed that Marissa was no longer with them.
Summer: Girls do you see Marissa?
Adriana: No she was right behind us a minute ago.
Summer looked all around and couldn't see Marissa anywhere. She walked over to a bench and sat the girls down.
Summer: You girls stay right here don't you move a muscle. Understand?
Girls: Yes mommy.
Summer: Good I'll be right back I just have to go kill Aunt Marissa.
Summer walked over to a security guard standing by.
Summer: You mind doing me a favor?
Guard: Depends on what it is.
Summer: You see those two little girls sitting on the bench over there?
Guard: Yes ma'm.
Summer: I have to go find my friend so can you watch them for a few minutes?
Guard: Uhm yeah I can do that.
Summer started digging around in her pants pocket and pulled out a twenty dollar bill and handed it to the guy and started walking away.
Guard: Ma'm you don't have to give me any money that's my job.
Summer: It will make me feel better if you take it.
Guard: Okay. What are their names?
Summer: Alexis and Adriana. Thank you.
Guard: No problem.

Summer walked away more and started searching faces for Marissa. When she finally spotted her she noticed that she was staring at something. Summer walked over next to her and looked where she was looking and she was staring at an oh so familiar looking blonde guy.
Summer: Ewww! Is that the surfer nazi guy? I figured he'd either be in jail being someones bitch boy or dead from an STD by now! Ewww look at the way he's dressed! Who comes to the mall dressed like that? I mean seriously have a little pride not to come out of the house looked like that much less come to a mall full of people like that! I mean EWW!
Marissa: How many times can you say "eww" in one sentence? That was like four times.
Summer: Well, he deserves all of them.
Marissa: Why do you have such a huge problem with him?
Summer: I don't know he's just got this thing about him that I can't stand. He just has something about him that makes me go EWWW!
Marissa: Where are the girls?
Summer: I left them with a security guard.
Marissa: Well we better get back.
Summer: Thank you I thought you were going to want to go talk to him.
Marissa: No way. I'm engaged I was just seeing if that was really him.

They turned around and started walking back.
Summer: Marissa did you have like actual feelings for that guy?
Marissa: I don't know. I mean I guess so but I think I was just looking for some entertainment at the time.
Summer: He was entertaining?
Marissa: No, not really but he was great in bed!
Summer: Ewww Marissa you actually slept with that guy?
Marissa: Well, yeah.
Summer: Did you go and make sure you didn't have any diseases.
Marissa: Yeah. I got checked every six months when I'm seeing someone.
Summer: Well, at least you didn't catch anything from him.
They made it to the bench where the girls were.
Summer: Thanks for watching them.
Guard: No problem.
Summer: Come on girls.
Alexis stood up and walked over to Summer and took her hand and Adriana just sat there.
Marissa: Come on Ana.
Adriana: I really don't feel like walking. Carry me!
Marissa picked her up and kissed her cheek.
Marissa: God you are getting so big!
Adriana: I'm not that big. I'm only three.
Marissa: You're only three huh?
Marissa started tickling her sides and Ana started gigling and pushing her hands away.
Adriana: Stop please it tickles!
Marissa felt a tap on her back. She turned around and was face to face with Volcheck.
Volcheck: Hey cutie I saw you staring at me.

He was staring at her boobs then looked at her face.
Volcheck: Well, if it isn't Marissa Cooper.
Marissa: Hey Kevin.
Volcheck: Why you staring at me?
Marissa: Just seeing if that was really you. I gotta go see you around Kevin.
Marissa turned to walk away but Kevin grabbed her arm and she whipped around to face him.
Marissa: What do you want?
Volcheck: I was just going to talk to you for a minute.
Adriana: Please let go of her arm you're hurting her.
Volcheck: Who's this little beauty?
Marissa: This is my niece Adriana.
Volcheck: Nice to meet you Adriana.
Volcheck let go of Marissa's arm and stuck his hand out to Adriana. Adriana just looked at his hand like it was diseased.
Adriana: Eww look at his hands Auntie they're so dirty. (she turned her head to Volcheck) Seriously go wash your hands before you try to shake peoples hands.

Volcheck raised an eyebrow and started laughing.
Adriana: Oh no he's not laughing at me is he. Let me down Auntie I'm going to kick his butt!
Marissa: ANA! Watch your mouth and stop being so impolite!
Adriana: Sorry Auntie.
Volcheck: Let me guess that's Summer's little beauty.
Marissa: Yeah, sorry about her she's a very impolite little girl.
Volcheck: Uh oh looks like you're in trouble.
Marissa turned around and saw Summer coming twords her with a very angry expression on her face.
Summer: Coop! Why do you keep running off?
Marissa: Sorry Sum he stopped me from leaving.
Summer noticed him for the first time and raised her eyebrows at him.
Summer: Kevin.
Volcheck: Summer that's some little kid you got there.
Summer: I don't know what that means but coming from you I'm sure it's not a compliment. Lexy stop pulling on my shirt you're going to stretch it out.
Alexis: Sorry mommy but I need to use the bathroom.
Summer: Ana you need to go?
Adriana: Yeah.
Summer: Marissa?
Marissa: I'm fine.
Marissa just handed Adriana to Summer and Summer rolled her eyes and took the girls to the bathroom.
Marissa: Sorry... You know about them.
Volcheck: It's cool. So how are you?
Marissa: I'm fine. How are you?
Volcheck: I'm good.
Marissa: That's good.
Volcheck: So do you have any little brats like that?
Marissa: Hey she's not a brat.
Volcheck: Please that little girl is like the definition of a stuck up brat.
Marissa: You know that is my niece that you're talking about.
Volcheck: Sorry. So do you have any sweet little children?
Marissa: I have a three year old, Parker.
Volcheck: So I'm guessing you're married.
Marissa: Engaged.
Volcheck: What's the lucky guys name?
Marissa: Actually it's Ryan.

Volcheck just rolled his eyes and started laughing.
Marissa: What's so funny?
Volcheck: Nothing.
Marissa: No really why are you laughing.
Volcheck: It's just so typical.
Marissa: Well, I have to go. It was nice to see you Kevin.
Volcheck: The pleasure was all mine princess.
Marissa walked away with Volcheck staring her down. Marissa walked into the bathroom and started waiting for Summer to come out. Summer walked out of the stall and raised her eyebrows at her.
Marissa: Don't say anything Summer.
Summer: I wasn't going to say anything.
Marissa: Come on let's go home.
Summer: Okay.
Summer and the girls washed their hands and they all left the mall.

Okay since my story was started before the finale here's what happened. Marissa decided to go to college. After Volcheck got caught cheating he left town with the money. So Ryan and him never got in that fight and he never stole that car for him. Marissa and Ryan got back together before graduation and they were together all summer until everyone left for their colleges. Sorry about the confusion.
