Chapter 10- The Last Chapter

Summer woke up and looked at her clock, 6:30. She took a quick shower and went downstairs.

She felt different this morning. She felt like she could solve world hunger,concur the whole world…twice. She smiled. She could already tell that this was going to be a day to remember.

"NO! IT'S YOUR FAULT SHE LEFT!" Summer yelled angrily that morning. Her dad had once again, blamed her for her mom walking out on them.

"You don't talk to me like that." He dad growled.

"YOU CHEATED ON HER! YOU BASTERED!" She wasn't done. She wasn't nearly done. "YOU MADE ME SEE COLBY. YOU RUINED MY LIFE. YOU KNOW WHAT? I'VE HAD IT!" She yelled once more, red in the face.

Her dad came close to her. "What are you going to do? Run to your little friends for help?" he mocked.

Summer glared at him. Her hands turned into fists. No one made fun of her friends. She punched him, then and there in the nose. "That's what I'm going to do." She said watching her dad fall back and hit his head on the corner of the glass table and fall completely to the ground unconscious. She smiled in triumph and stormed out of the house.

She stood on her porch and looked back at her house. She had just knocked out her dad. She smiled. She had just knocked out her dad. Nothing could bring her down now.

"Summer?" Okay, maybe one thing could.

"Colby." She said turning around.

"We're going out tonight." He told her.

Summer was just took a step down her porch and stopped. "No."

"What?" he asked.

"I said no. We're not going out tonight. Not tomorrow night, not any night. It's over." She said and walked away.

Colby grabbed hold of her arm, "What would your dad think?" he asked.

Summer shrugged, "Why do I care?" she asked wriggling free of his grip and walking down the street, leaving a shocked Colby behind.

She smiled as she stopped in front of a house. Not just any house, Freddy's house. She knew that he wouldn't be out for at least another 5 minutes, so she decided to study the house more.

It was big and white, with a deep green door. Sure, it was big and expensive, but it seemed so…home like. It wasn't like any of the other houses along the street. They seemed so empty, inside and out. But his house, you instantly felt at home here. They had no maids, no cooks, no gardener unlike everyone else, including Summer. They had a way of making you feel comfortable with who you are, where you are and whatever you do.

She smiled. When she grew older, she wanted exactly this. It was big, comfortable and homey. "Summer?" Summer looked to her left and saw Freddy. She smiled.

"Hey." She said hugging him.

"Why were you staring at my house?" he asked walking with her.

He slipped his hand into hers as she responded, "It's just so different from every other house on the street." she explained.

Freddy smiled. "You seem happy today."

She looked at him and smiled back, "That's because I am excited." she said.

"About what?" he asked.

"Well, for one I yelled at my dad and punched him. And two, I just dumped Colby. And I feel like I can concur the world…twice!" She exclaimed.

Freddy's smiled turned to a frown, "Summer, punching your dad won't get you anywhere." he explained.

Summer sighed, "I know."

Freddy put his arm around her. "So, what are you going to do about it?" he asked.

Summer sighed, "Nothing."

Freddy looked at her. "Summer, how long has this been going on?"

"Err…well you know." she said.

Something was wrong, Freddy could feel it. "How long?" she mumbled something. "What?" he asked her.

"A year." she replied.

Freddy's mouth dropped. "Summer! You only told me this a month or two ago!" he raised his voice at her. He instantly regretted it, because he could see tears welling up in her eyes as she looked at the ground. He sighed. He stopped and pulled her into a hug. "I'm sorry, I never should have yelled at you. I'm just so worried about you." he said.

Summer hugged him back and stood there for a long time. "I know. You're always so good to me." she replied. "Listen, I have to do something important today, so I won't be at school." she made up her mind.

"Summer, whatever you are doing I'm going with you. I don't want you out here alone."

She smiled up at him, "Okay." she replied. Taking his hand she walked the way into town.

"Where are we going?" He asked.

She looked at him and frowned. She didn't want to do this. She had to. "Freddy…if I….if I turn him in…I might have to move away." she broke into tears.

Freddy wrapped her in a hug. "Maybe….maybe we could track down your mom."

Summer smiled, "We could." she broke the hug. "But I doubt we'll find her. I'll have to move into foster care. You know I have no family left."

Freddy frowned at her with tears in his eyes. "Summer you listen to me. You go to the police and turn him in. No matter what happens, I just want you to be safe. Even if it means that we split up."

She looked at the building she had stopped in front of. In big black letters read, "POLICE". She took a breath and Freddy's hand and walked inside.

A woman greeted her with a smile, "What can I help you with?" she asked.

Summer took another breath and looked back at Freddy who gave her a reassuring smile. Summer looked back at the woman in the uniform. Feeling tears spring to her eyes she said, "I would….I would l-like to report a… a-abuse." she said. The woman nodded and led her down a hall, Freddy in toe.

That night Summer, Freddy and Freddy's family stood outside her house, watching the red, blue and white lights flash on her house. They watched her dad be taken away; they watched Colby franticly make up stories about how his dad had forced him to see Summer.

Summer smiled at the thought of being free. It felt as if the chains had been broken from her hands, her feet. She could finally see the sunlight instead of the grey dungeon walls.

She then frowned. She had an aunt, who lived in Japan. Well, she wasn't really her aunt, but they were so close that she should be. Other than that, there was no one to take care of Summer. She knew that Katie, Zack, Freddy would take care of her. But she needed a guardian, a real home.

She hadn't talked with the police yet about that, but she knew that she would go straight to an Orphanage. She looked up at Freddy, who had his arm around her and watching her closely.

"I have a surprise for you." He whispered into her ear.

"Hmm?" She replied.

"Well, you know that I can't adopt you. Because then you would be my sister…and ew. Zack's parents…well you know them. But Katie, her mom and dad did some talking." Freddy said.

"And?" She pressed on.

"And-" Just then Katie came running from across the street and hugged Summer happily.

"Did you hear? We're going to be sisters!" She yelled happily.

Summer looked at Katie. "What?" She asked.

"My mom and dad thought for like… a minute and then guess what? They're adopting you!"

"But…can they?" Summer asked.

"Well, you don't have any other family. You know, they all died of…well anyways, this is great news! You're moving in tomorrow." She said happily. She noticed Summer wasn't as happy as she was. "What's a matter?"

Summer smiled. "I was just wishing…. hoping really that my mom would come back."

Katie looked at her and smiled a bit, "Yeah. I think we were all hoping. Well Summer…don't give up hope. Always have faith." she said.

Summer smiled and squealed jumping up and down, "We're going to be sisters!" she said hugging Katie.

Freddy chuckled. "Talk about delayed reaction." he said.

Summer smiled. This was a new start for her. She would have a new family, a new life style. She wouldn't have to leave Horace Green, the band and most of all, Freddy thanks to Katie.

When she woke up, she told herself that she felt as if she couldconcur the world. In her mind, she did just that.

People say that you can't always get what you want. But sometimes, on those special occasions…you can get exactly what you want.

EPILOGUE

Summer found herself comfortable in Katie's house. It was just like old times, when her mom was around.

Speaking of which, her mom never did come in contact with Summer, nor did she come back to see her.

Freddy and Summer were still going on strong. She still came over to his house every game day and ate wonderful chocolate cake, made by his mom.

Zack's leg healed. For his senior year, he's playing first string quarterback. During gigs, he wore shorts, and everyone loved his cast. Just like he said, he would made it work.

The band still played gigs just about every week. They almost have a record deal, thanks to their wonderful band manager.

Her dad did his time, paid his crime. She didn't know where he was now, what he's doing right now and found that she didn't care.

As for Colby. Well, no one saw him after that night. Rumor goes that he moved to England, but only a select few knew the truth. Them being Summer and Freddy.

Tomorrow is the first day of their senior year. Summer had a feeling that this year would be better, in more ways than one.

Overall, life was good. There were a few ups and downs here and there.

But as they say, you can't always get what you want.

And god, did Summer know all about that.
