“I could really use a drink.” Marissa answered
“Coming right up,” Alex smiled as she took a glass from behind her.
“Alex, what are you doing? She’s not 21, you could loose your license for that.” Mandy warned (Her bartender’s license)
“Eh, she’s had a bad day, leave her alone.” Alex said as she handed Marissa a tall glass.
“I was just trying to look out for you.” Mandy mumbled as she continued to serve people drinks.
“Yea well, she’s with me.” Alex grinned
Marissa handed Alex a couple of dollar bills, but Alex declined them. “It’s on the house.” she said as Marissa grinned and took a sip. It wasn’t as strong as the stuff she had, had before, but it still had quite a bite to it.
“Thanks.” Marissa said as she started to head back to Alex’s office, but changing her mind she headed over to the lounge where she found Seth and Anna sitting about a mile apart on the same couch.
“Where’d you get that?” Seth asked as he eyed the drink in her hand.
“A friend.” Marissa grinned as she sat between Anna and Seth.
“Hey did you hear the good news Marissa? Hailey’s coming back.”
Marissa choked on her drink as Anna shouted an angry ‘Seth!’ as she just barely managed to hit him with her purse.
Marissa sighed, “Don’t remind me.”
“Oh that’s right, sorry Cooper I forgot she broke your heart.” Seth said trying to be sincere.
“Seth, how can you be so inconsiderate.” Anna whispered as she put her arm around Marissa’s shoulders.
“I’m alright, it’s nothing...I’m over it.” Marissa lied as she took another swig out of her plastic cup.
“So you’re going to the party this weekend, right?” Seth asked curiously
“Why does everyone want me to go to that stupid party anyway? And no, I’m not going.”
“We just thought you’d want to see Hailey again, that’s all.” Anna said lightly
“Yea, since ya know, after she left, you turned into a miserable, heartbroken, wreck. Not to mention you hooking up with that surf nazi and shacking up with him.” Seth said quietly as he took a sip of his chocolate Yoohoo.
“Shut up, and what? Is seeing her again supposed to fix everything, make everything all better. I mean it’s not like she’s going to stay, you wait and watch, next week she’ll be on a flight back to Hawaii.” Marissa said glumly as she chugged most of what was left in her glass.
