Julie heaved as she walked along the sidewalk. *What is that kid’s problem anyway? Have 당신 gone fishing lately? Is he on crack 또는 something, well knowing him, he probably is.* Julie thought as she neared The Bait Shop, its bright sign in plain view. *Who does he think he is, talking to Julie Cooper like that....wait a minute! To go fishing 당신 need bait! The Bait Shop, of course! How could I have been so stupid! Well I guess that shady friend of Marissa’s has some uses after all.* Julie grinned as she stepped up her pace to a jog.

“Alex, a little help here!” Mandy yelled as a mob of customers bombarded her at the bar. Alex looked over from where she was getting a towel out of the backroom. She put the towel back and went to go help Mandy.

Julie reached The Bait 샵 just as Anna and Seth were doing the same, Julie frowned at the sight of Seth.
“Hey Mrs. C! So what brings 당신 here, I mean The Bait Shop, not really your scene huh Mrs. C! Aren’t 당신 used to the finer things in life like 랍스터 rolls and caviar, I suppose not since 당신 로스트 all your money that time 당신 got drunk and blew it all away on the slots. Then 당신 로스트 your house and have to live in a trailer and I’m surprised Jimmy is still with 당신 after everything that’s happened. Well Mrs. C, sounds like a fine way to spend your life!”
“Seth!” Anna screamed as she hit him numerous times over the head.
“What?! Was it something I said?” Seth grinned cheekily
Julie looked outraged and horrified as she walked up to the two of them.
“Don’t 당신 ever shut up?” she spat as she continued her way into The Bait Shop.
“I guess I said a little too much huh?” Seth realized as the two of them entered The Bait Shop.
“Yea Seth, maybe just a little.” Anna said embarrassed
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Julie having to track down Marissa here once before, figured that she’d probably be in the office once again. Marissa wiped away her crystalline tears with the blanket that was still loosely held in her hands. Just then, there was a loud pounding on the office door and Julie Cooper’s voice managed to ring above the loud screams of other people and the live band.
“Marissa honey, open this door! I really need to talk to 당신 about something very important. If 당신 talked to that surf nazi of yours then 당신 already know its about Hailey, 또는 at least 당신 should already know that. Although he didn’t seem very trustworthy so 당신 probably have no idea what I’m talking about.”
Marissa walked over and opened the door, “Mom, 당신 can stop yelling and yea I already know its about Hailey.” Marissa sat back down on the couch, her eyes still red from crying. Julie took a 좌석 at the table.
“Okay well I should probably explain a few things.”
“Yea, I’ll say.” Marissa added
“Hey, don’t cop an attitude with me young lady”
“Whatever,” Marissa said as she took Alex’s 맥주 off the 표, 테이블 and took a swig, trying to kill her hangover.
“Anyways, Kirsten just told me today that Hailey is coming home! Isn’t that great!” Julie said cheerfully
“Yea, just great” Marissa said, less than enthused
“So there’s going to be a party this weekend at the Cohen’s for her arrival and I just thought I’d tell you, you’re going right?”
“No...”
“Well don’t 당신 miss her? Don’t 당신 want to see her again?” Julie persisted
“Of course I miss her, I’ve missed her every 일 for the past 년 and why would I want to see her again, what’s the point? She’s just going to leave again anyways, so why bother?”
Julie sighed, this conversation definitely wasn’t going the way she planned it would.
“Whoever said she’s leaving? She might end up staying.”
“Oh just like last time when 당신 said not to worry about the business idea she had 또는 that big shot from Hawaii that came to talk to her about it. The 다음 thing I know, she tells me she’s leaving for Hawaii....she jumps on the 다음 plane and takes my 심장 with her.” Marissa said bitterly as she took another swig from her beer. “So why would I want to see her, huh?! Tell me one good reason.”
“Because 당신 사랑 her.”
“Yea, a lot of good that did me....she broke my heart!” Marissa screamed, Alex walked through the door in time to hear that last sentence of Marissa’s before she threw a half empty 맥주 bottle at her mother’s head. It shattered to pieces on the 벽 in-between Alex and Julie, just barely missing the both of them. The bottle being thrown didn’t even phase Julie she just kept on talking.
“Well it would mean a lot if 당신 were there.” Julie said as she headed for the exit.
“Don’t hold your breath.” Marissa whispered as Julie left the room, closing the door behind her.
