Take Back
Disclaimer: If I owned The O.C., Marissa would be replaced by a toaster, everyday would be a holiday, there'd never be Rooney, and Seth and Ryan would be allergic to shirts. Hence, I own nothing. That includes the John Mayer lyrics.
A/N: This was originally going to be slashy, and Seth would be in denial and Summer would make him come out of the closet, yada yada, but then a piece much like that came out (can't think of the name or author at the moment...involves visors. Search for it. It's cute) and that wasn't gonna work! Hope you enjoy my flufferty-fluff-fluff!
"I'll take back what I said
Just don't leave me alone here
It's cold baby
Come back to bed"
-John Mayer, "Come Back to Bed"
"Hello,"
"Hey, it's me,"
"Oh, thanks for like never calling,"
"It's the fourth time this week,"
"Yeah, that's three days without a word from you,"
"Hey, one of those was a holy day...Sunday!"
"Yes and the phone operators are very strong Christians,"
"Please, Summer,"
"Please Summer what? Please don't be upset that I understand you left and that I'm pissed off? You're lucky I'm even talking to you,"
"I know,"
"So why don't you come home?"
"I don't know,"
"You're just full of answers, shit face,"
"Have you ever felt so alone that you think nobody will understand you? Because that's how I felt before Ryan,"
"Seth, do you want other people to feel that way?"
"No,"
"Then come back here. Because that's how Ryan feels, I feel, your mother feels, your father feels, Marissa feels, probably how Theresa feels. We all feel really alone right now,"
"Can't we all deal with it in different ways?"
"I'm not about to argue with you,"
"Summer,"
"You're calling me at two in the morning, and I know you've been crying again,"
"Have you?"
"Look, the way we all need to deal with it is to get over it, and we can't get over it until you come back,"
"Have you?"
"Have I what?"
"Have you been crying?"
"You can believe whatever you want to believe,"
"Have you?"
"Yes, I have, okay? I miss you so much. Is that what you wanted? Me to sit around here, and have to break up with you over the phone while you're on the ocean and I'm at Marissa's house?"
"I told you I loved you, you didn't have to break up with me,"
"That's why I did,"
"What?"
"Because you left and said you loved me, I knew this wouldn't work out,"
"Why?"
"You fucking left me, so you clearly don't want to stick around,"
"Damn it, it's fucking pouring rain,"
"It's raining on your dumbass boat, too?"
"I do want to stick around,"
"Then how are you going to prove that to me? Because you're doing a shitty job right now,"
"Open your front door,"
"What?"
"Look whose asking questions now,"
"You're this close to me hanging up on you,"
"Open the door, please,"
"Oh,"
"Hey, Summer,"
"Hi,"
"God, I think I really love you,"
"I love you, come inside, you're soaked,"
"Summer,"
"Yeah?"
"Why are we still talking on the phone?"
"Because if we hang up, I'm afraid you'll go away again,"
