Chapter 3 Tijuana
"I'm so excited!" Summer yelled on the phone as she neatly packed everything into her bags.
"I mean I know last year was a total...yeah that, but this year will be awesome because we are both not dating anyone!"
Summer paused as she counted all the things she needed.
"Well except for me and Chino." she said as she bent down to choose shoes.
"I know, I have to tell Seth, but not right now." Summer sighed then rolled her eyes at whatever he friend was saying.
"So how's Alex?" she was quiet while Marissa told her how her girlfriend was.
"Yeah, that's good. You know you could have invited her to come along."
Pause.
"Marissa no one is going to freak out they will accept you for who you are."
Summer stared at her bags wondering what else she should take when she noticed Princess Sparkle on her bedside table and then she noticed her toiletries on her desk. She went over to go get them as she listened to Marissa's latest problem.
"If you like her they won't care!" Summer went back over to her suitcase and shoved her stuff in, then she tried to zip it up.
"I'm sure! Now what time will you be here?"
Pause and Summer nodded. "Ok see you then! And remember Tijuana will be awesome!"
Summer smiled as she hung up the phone and continued trying to zip her bag. "Zip! Zip!" she whined as the zipper just stayed in one spot. She stopped as she felt a sudden wave of nausea pass her system.
She shrugged and just blamed it on the milkshake she had forbreakfast, she was fine, she had to be fine she was going to TJ.
"I'm fine." she muttered finally getting her bag to close. "Thank god you closed!" she said smiling then going over to pack a bag for the car, she hated long car rides.
Then the feeling came back to her and she rushed to the bathroom, feeling worse then she had in a long time. She was still going to TJ even if she was sick, Tijuana was the vacation of the year.
She sighed as the yackking stopped, then the feeling cam back and her head was over the toilet for another 15 minutes. She decided then she wouldn't tell and that she was going to Tijuana, it was probably a 24-hour thing. She lifted her head up and washed her mouth out breathing hard, she was fine she had to be fine. She went back to her room and started packing the car bag, when again she rushed to the bathroom.
It was going to be a long drive.
"Gold Fish."
"Check"
"Kudos."
"Check"
"Water Bottles."
"Check."
"Ryan."
"Check."
"Seth."
"Check."
Seth went down the checklist he had made up for their rode trip to Tijuana. "
So should we go get the girls?" Seth asked Ryan.
"Yeah there at Marissa's."
"alright then, we better get this show on the road don't want to be late for clubbing in Tijuana! I swear this is going to be better then last year! It has to be, you can't beat suicide attempts." Seth shook his head as he went inside to tell Kirsten and Sandy they were leaving. Ryan followed after him and after a lot of hugging they headed over to Marissa's to pick the two girls up.
"I am so ready for this weekend." Summer said as Ryan and Seth trailed after her with her luggage.
"I am ready to party all night TJ, and drink till I puke!" Marissa said as she took her own stuff and shoved it into the car.
"Bye mom! Caleb!" Marissa yelled as they pulled out of the driveway.
"Marissa wait!" Julie yelled as the car sped down the driveway.
"Bye, see you Sunday!" Marissa yelled again and sighed deeply taking in the fresh air.
"I'm so excited nothing is going to ruin this day." Marissa said smiling.
"We know Coop." Summer said looking at Ryan.
"So, will it start like last year with Summer trying to kill us then us ending in a ditch? Or will it be a better, safer, ride to Mexico?" Seth asked as they drove south.
"I vote for the second! Summer and Seth fighting is not fun!" Marissa said taking her phone out and starting to text.
"Aww does Marissa have a new lover boy." Seth said laughing as he spotted Marissa texting.
"Seth, man, watch the rode." Ryan said as the almost went into the other lane.
"I am!" Seth said."So who is it Marissa? Do we know him? Will Ryan have to beat him up to win your love?" Seth laughed not noticing the tension that had started in the car.
Marissa had stopped texting and Ryan was looking at Summer.
"I am really hungry! Is anyone else, like, really hungry?" Summer asked looking around trying to change the subject. "That's what I get for... skipping breakfast." Summer said laughing, trying to cover the fact she'd gotten sick, and now she was hungry.
"Why didn't you eat?" Ryan asked looking back at her.
"I was going over last minute packing." Summer said defensively getting herself deeper into the lie.
"So you skipped breakfast?" Seth asked.
"Yes, one meal, people, one meal!" Summer yelled.
"You can gain weight that way." Marissa said laughing as she teased Summer.
"Oh! Go back to texting Alex!" Summer yelled grabbing a bag of gold fish.
"I will, thank you, very much!" Marissa said laughing.
"Who's Alex?" Ryan asked curiously.
"Marissa's love slave!" Summer said teasingly forgetting her promise.
"She is not my love slave!" Marissa said laughing till she realized she had said 'she' Seth took a violent turn and almost hit a truck, but instead drove into a ditch.
"She?" he croaked glancing at them.
Ryan turned back to look at them too, "She?" Ryan asked them in the same tone of voice as Seth.
"She." Marissa said looking at them.
"Well good to know it's a little different than last year, Summer didn't run us off the road, Marissa did." Seth muttered as the got out of the car to see the damage.
"Great, we get to go in a truck full of chickens." Summer muttered as they began to unload the car. Her and Ryan on one side with Seth and Marissa on the other side.
"Maybe it'll be camels this year, Summer." Ryan said laughing at the look on her face.
"Camels, Ryan? Camels? They Spit! Ew!" Summer said whining.
Ryan laughed at her and came over to her. "Spitting can't be as bad as your whining." Ryan muttered in her ear.
Summers mouth dropped open and she hit him hard on the arm. "You are so mean! Well you know what I would take spiting over your brooding any day." Summer said smirking at him.
He looked at her not wanting her to know her comment had got to him. "That was low, and I do not brood." Ryan muttered leaning in to her ear.
"Yes, Chino, you do." Summer muttered in his ear.
"Well, you whine." he whispered on her mouth.
"Well I—"
"Hey guys!" Seth said as he came over to their side of the car. Ryan backed up so suddenly he fell on some of Summer's bags and Summer moved back into the car smashing her elbow.
"Ow." she said rubbing her elbow.
"What's going on?" Seth asked looking between the two.
"Nothing!" they said busing themselves with unloading.
"Don't tell me that." Seth said glancing at them both.
"We were, um, Summer..." Ryan said trying to come up with an explanation.
"Ryan you're a really bad liar." Seth said shaking his head at them. "Just tell me what is going on." Seth said crossing his arms looking at them. "Now!" he said Summer and Ryan looked at each other.
When no one said anything and Seth looked like he was about to explode something clicked in his brain. His mouth dropped open and he let out a gasp.
"Oh! Oh! Ryan! Oh!" Seth said backing away from them with his mouth opened and a hand over it. "You and Summer!"
Marissa came around the other side of the vehicle and looked at all of them. "What's going on?" she asked glancing at everyone then she say the look of Seth's face and glanced at Summer and Ryan.
"Wow!" Seth said. "This is not how I envisioned our trip to Tijuana." Seth added looking at Ryan and Summer again.
"you told him?" Marissa asked going next to Summer.
"No, he sorta saw us." Summer muttered looking at Seth.
"Marissa knew?" Seth asked stunned. "Dude, why didn't you tell me?"
"I thought you'd react badly, besides we haven't really made it official or anything. We still had time to tell you."
"Rule 1, tell your best friend your datingtheir ex-girlfriend immediately so you don't have to see them." Seth said going back to the other side of the car.
"Seth, don't be mad. It just sort of happened." Summer said following Seth as Ryan and Marissa stayed on the other side of the car.
"Well, you know what, you could have had the decency to tell me. Marissa knew for god's sake! Why couldn't you tell me when crazy Marissa knew! When ever I asked how your summer was you couldn't have said by the way I'm dating your brother?" Seth asked shaking his head and sitting on the ground.
"We didn't mean to tell you this way, Seth, it just happened." Summer said trying to ignore the comment about Marissa. "Plus, Marissa has moved on, we didn't think she'd care. But you, Seth, you just haven't." Summer took a deep breath seeing that she wasn't getting through to him and stood up. "When your ready to talk, we'll be unloading the rest of the stuff." She muttered and went to the other side of the car with Marissa and Ryan.
"How's he taking it?" Ryan asked.
"Don't pretend you didn't hear every word of it." Summer muttered yanking another bag out of the car.
"Am I really crazy? Do you guys really think that?" Marissa asked looking at them.
"No." Summer muttered not in the mood to talk.
"No, I'm serious. Do you guys refer to me like that when your alone?"
Summer and Ryan glanced at each other but chose not to answer anymore questions.
"This is our motel?" Summer asked as they walked into the room. It looked almost exactly like the motel they stayed in last time.
"Are we going to start the whining again?" Seth asked in an anger voice.
Since Seth had found out about Summer and Ryan he's hardly spoke to them, and if he did it was to say something mean and degrading.
"No." Summer said softly, feeling sorry for not telling him.
They were all trying to get on his good side so he could get over it and take to someone. She knew she had done something stupid by not telling her EX that she was going out with his brother but...it happened so suddenly and if she was really truthful with herself she was afraid. Afraid of how he would act and if he would brake the two of them up. They set there bags on the floor and Summer held her complaints in.
"I'm going to go get something to eat at the vending machines." Ryan said after the got the rest of the bags inside.
"I'll help." Marissa said not wanting to be in the same room as all the tension.
"So, where should we sleep?" Summer asked as Marissa and Ryan left.
"Doesn't matter, just as long as I don't have to sleep with you." Seth muttered going over to the bed.
"Seth, we're broken up! We aren't together anymore! I have the right to date anyone I want to, and it just so happens I want to date Ryan and he wants to date me! So deal with it!" Summer yelled getting in his face.
Seth looked at her as she seethed with anger.
"I know, that you might still have feelings for me, but please be happy for me and Ryan. We like each other a lot, and if it doesn't work out then...we'll figure it out then." Summer took a deep breath. "Now! I am going to go to bed right now, and you think about what I said. Deal with it, Cohen, or else you are being really stupid over me, not that I don't mind, but you and Ryan are best friends so get over me and him dating and go back to being friends."
Summer shook her head and went over to the couch, pulling it out and getting into bed. "Goodnight!" Summer shrieked just as the door opened.
Seth got into the bed and thought about what she said, then decided what he would do.
"So we got some cheese sticks, anyone—" Marissa stopped talking as she saw the two other people sleeping. "Ok, we'll lets go to bed, I'll sleep on the pull out and you can sleep with Seth."
Ryan raised an eyebrow at her but got in anyway.
After an hour had passed and Summer still lay awake in bed she looked over at Ryan.
"Hey." She whispered as she saw him looking at her.
He smiled at her. "Hey, how are you?"
"Good. I talked to Seth." She said wanting to go over to him.
"Yeah? How did it go?"
Summer tried to shrug. "I think, he's thinking about it." Summer muttered looking over at Marissa who was fast asleep.
"Want to go for a walk?" Ryan asked knowing they weren't going to get any sleep anytime soon.
"Sure." she said getting up and finding some shoes.
They quietly walked out of the room and leaned against the railing that separated the parking lot from the rooms. Summer leaned over to kiss Ryan softly on the lips.
"I've missed you." she muttered as they broke apart.
"Yeah? We've seen each other all day, you know that right?" he said.
"I mean your lips, Chino." She said deepening the kiss and backing up against the wall outside their room.
"Well, in that case, I missed your lips too."
They continued to kiss for a few minutes until they heard a door open a few rooms away and a giggle.
"What time is it?" Summer muttered looking down at the room.
"Around 2."
"I think we should get to bed, we have to finish driving to TJ in the morning." Ryan nodded and they walked back into the room, knowing that he would be able to sleep better.
As the four friends slowly woke up and packed there bags they all reflected on the day before. They thought about the information they found out and the feelings they were trying to deal with. They rode to Tijuana in a quiet car ride and checked into there hotel. Summer took a shower and Marissa decided to go get something to eat in the hotel's restaurant. That left Seth and Ryan in a weird quietness, they didn't have a lot.
"So, I talked to Summer." Seth said as he sat on the bed staring out the window.
"Yeah, I know." Ryan said staring at the bathroom door, where you could hear the shower running.
"She said if I didn't get over this thing you too have...I'll lose you as a friend. Ryan, I don't want to lose you as a friend, you my first friend."
Seth said finally turning to look at Ryan. "I just...need some time to adjust to your and Summer's relationship. It's hard to find out your best friend is dating your ex."
Ryan nodded excepting Seth's answer. He wasn't mad with him, he just needed time to adjust.
"So are we good?" Ryan asked after a few minutes of silence.
"Yeah, I think so." Seth muttered looking at the bathroom door as it opened.
"Hey, you guys ready to explore TJ?" Summer asked oblivious to the talk the two guys had a few minutes before.
"Yeah, let's go." Ryan said getting up.
"You guys go ahead, I'm going to wait for Marissa." Seth said laying down on the bed.
"Ok, we will be back soon, then we can check some clubs out."
Seth nodded and watched as they walked out the door.
"How's he doing?" Summer asked as they walked down the hall to the elevator.
Ryan shrugged. "He'll be fine."
"Good, cause I don't want another TJ Drama."
Ryan laughed and kissed her on the head.
"I'm serious." Summer muttered stepping into the elevator.
"I don't want Seth to try and kill himself, I've lived through that once...and it's not fun."
"I know, babe. Seth isn't the type to try that."
"Good, I'm not sure what I'd do with out him." Summer muttered kissing Ryan on the lips.
"Yeah, me neither." Ryan muttered as they stepped out of the elevator to go and explore Tijuana.
(A/n:Well some parts I think were confusing to understand and I;m sorry about that, I'll work on it.)
