AN: thanks for the review s, orgy 123 and xdeathglarex, and thanks to you that have this on alert.

So this is the next part of the story, I know that this could have been a one part but for me it is two different reunions there for it is a two part.

It might take a while before next post but part 2 is already written and could be posted at this same time but it won't, I want to have some more written but it should be up during the weekend but I also need to work on my other stories.

Disclaimer: don't own things related to the O.C I'm just borrowing them for my story.

Chapter 2 Reunion part 1

So I graduated a week ago and during the night of that day I flew to Hawaii to meet up with my dad so that we could spend some quality time together before going out to the seas and seeing the world together. The truth is that I really missed my dad; I didn't know that I had missed him so much.

Flashback about a week ago

I just landed on the airport in Honolulu and I was looking around just trying to see if I could spot my father. That was something that I didn't do but just when I thought that he might have forgotten about that I would be coming tonight but then he was there just behind my back, I couldn't believe that I was finally here and he was here to and I could begin my journey to a better life without the problems that I had back home in Newport. I promise that I'll tell you all about those problems later on but just focus on the good stuff for now.

"Hey kiddo!" My dad said to me and he gave a hug, I can't describe how that made me feels. This was for sure a good day and I knew that it would be getting better.

"Dad!" I just couldn't still believe that I was here with him and I was going to spend a year with him before I have to go to college. That was how we all had agreed on and I have to say that I want to keep that promise, the start of my new life.

"So I was thinking that we should head home and eat something and that you might get some rest cause you are going to meet some of the guys that are going to be working with us when we are out to on the seas."

"That sounds good. And I'm starving." So both my dad and I was heading back to the car that he had, when I saw what kind of car he had I couldn't help to think about her, he had a jeep. Why did he have to have one but then again we are on Hawaii, that might be a reason for it.

I had told dad about her, but I always used her name and I hadn't actually told him that she was a she, but I pretty sure that he knows that I was talking about a "her" and if he hadn't figured it out all by himself I pretty sure that my dear mother had told him. My mother and I was never that close but during these last months we have grown closer and who knows we might get along much better when I start my life over again. That is something that I always wanted a better relationship with my mother is actually pretty sad that we didn't have that and I'm kind of jealous of my younger sister that had that relationship with her but then again I had that with my dad before he moved.

End Flashback

That was how I met up with my dad and a couple of days later I had the chance to meet up with the rest of the crew that was going to work on the boat with me and dad. That day was kind of fun, actually one of the best days so far. The whole day was spend on the boat and I was learning to find my way around the boat and the different terms that was used on the boat, my dad wanted me to understand what they all were talking about and I of course wanted to understand to and of course not sound like I didn't know anything or that I was just a spoiled brat. That was the last thing that I wanted them to think. During that day I meat almost everyone, my dad told me that there were two more girls that was going to join us but they wouldn't be here yet, they would come later just a day or two before we leave. I wonder who those girls are going to be, I hope that I'll get along with them at least if they are going to be on this the whole time that I'm there.

I kind of promised that I might be home at Thanks Giving but I know for sure that I would be home for Christmas, that was one thing that I had to promise not just my mother but Summer and even the Cohens', the all seems to care and just maybe I can get my dad to come home with me to. Okay this is something that we don't have to think about now.

I think that I should go down to the boat; there is where my dad is, so there for I should be there to. When I was walking down to the harbor just so that I could see my dad and be on the boat for awhile just to be even more friend with all of the crew and finding my way around the boat, truth be told I don't think that it's a boat it's more like a ship.

Down at the harbor I'm on my way to enter the boat when someone calls my name, okay it was more like y nickname that my dad gave me.

"Kiddo." And when I heard that I just turned around to see of it was my dad or if there were someone else, you see ever since my dad called me kiddo almost all of the crew also calls me that, and of course it was my dad who was calling me. I guess that he wants me to do something or meet someone; it has been like that all week.

"Yeah, dad." I said just so that he knew that I have heard him, so I began to walk towards him, just so that he could tell me what it was this time. "Dad, I'm here now. So what was it that you wanted me to do?"

"Well, it's nothing that I want you to do."

"Okay fine, but then who am I meeting this time."

"You remember that I told you that there were two more girls that were going to join us in this trip?"

"I remember, just cause I wanted to take a year of before college don't mean that I forget stuff."

"I know that, so you want me to meet them."

"Kind at the moment there is just one of them here and at the moment it seems like she is the only one that is going with us. The other one apparently had some problems with the whole thing going away and staying away that long so she won't be going with us."

"Oh, that was kind of sad to hear, but it is still one girl that will be going with us?"

"Yes kiddo, so how about that meeting."

"Sure no problem about that. So let's do that now." And with that my dad wanted me to go and meet that girl this girl all I hope at this moment is that she will be nice and that we can get along, but that is something that I've already told you. It didn't take us long before we met up with this girl.

"Marissa I want you to meet…" my dad said and when I saw who it was all I could do was whisper.

"Alex." And after that it was really quiet, no one knew what to say, I can say for sure that this wasn't something that I had expected, but at the same time it was a nice surprise. I somehow don't think that she had the same thought.

AN; so just use this little button down below so that you can review and I would be really happy and who knows, it might be a chapter up sooner than you think if I get some review or some kind of feedback. Any kind of feedback is good, it gives me an opportunity to make my writing better and it gives inspiration most of the time.
