Chapter 7
Seth woke up feeling just like he had for the past few weeks, sad, angry and alone. How had this happened to him, how had his life turned out this way? These were all questions whirling round Seth's mind as he lay in bed trying to comprehend the events of the past few weeks.
A month ago life seem so perfect, so untroubled, so clear, everything was on track. But now everything was a mess and Seth didn't know what to do.
Seth rolled over in bed and looked over at the empty space next to him, he then looked up to the bedside table where a picture of him and Summer at graduation stood.
Seth pushed the covers off and grabbed some jeans and shirt out of his wardrobe and pulled them on. He had had enough of moping around the place feeling sorry for himself. Seth pulled a bottle of water out of the fridge and grabbed his cell of the kitchen surface.
Seth opened his contact page and scrolled down to the person's number he was looking for. Seth took a deep breathe and then pressed call, knowing this was the right thing to do.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Summer closed her eyes and exhaled, gathering all her thoughts and questions as she stood in front of her and Seth's apartment door. Summer knocked on the door and almost immediately Seth opened it up.
Summer smiled weakly it had been a week since she had seen Seth and the sight of him, made her happy and almost positive.
Seth smiled back at her and the sight of Summer still took his breathe away.
"So, you gonna invite me in or am I just going to stand here in the door?" Summer said almost laughing and raising an eyebrow.
Seth shook himself and gestured for her to come in and he watched Summer sit down awkwardly on the sofa.
"Summer I did invite you over here for a reason," Seth began to say; "There is something I need to say. Summer I-"
"Oh crap, I'm sorry Seth let me clear it up," Summer apologized as she spilt the drink that was standing on the coffee table.
"Oh don't worry let me get it." Seth said as he stood up and walked into the kitchen to get a cloth.
As he walked out his cell beeped, and Seth called from the kitchen, "Sum could you get that."
Sum, he hasn't called me that in ages, Summer thought happily as she picked up his cell but then she saw who the message was from.
Summer's heart sank, the message read, Seth, it was great talking to you earlier It brought back some good memories, love Anna xxxx
Summer ran her hands through her head and kept exhaling and picked up her bag off the floor and ran out of the apartment. Summer closed the door behind her and hesitated before running to her car in tears.
"Summer?" Seth came back into the living room and was completely confused when Summer wasn't there anymore. Seth picked up his phone from the table and read the message and instantly realised that Summer must have jumped to the wrong conclusions and left.
This just confirmed in Seth's mind the thing that he had been thinking about all day and the thing he wanted to tell Summer.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Summer ran into her room, and fell onto her bed and cried her eyes out. Why had she let herself believe there was a chance for them, he was over her and had moved on.
Summer stood up from her bed after a while and brushed her self off, looked up and walked towards her CD player. She pressed play and the song 'Goodbye To You' by Michelle Branch played into the room filling the horrible silence.
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I though I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold onto
Summer opened the door to the balcony and walked out into the fresh, cool air. She wrapped her arms round herself for warmth and looked out over the Newport Beach and into the ocean. The wind swept through her hair and gave her tingles down her spine.
Summer felt a real sense of clarity and reassurance, she knew that she needed to move on from Seth, and she also knew that she know needed to concentrate on fighting the leukaemia.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Seth what's up?" Ryan asked as he sat down opposite Seth in the diner, Ryan had got an urgent text from Seth telling him to meet him here.
"Man there is something I need to tell you," Seth looked serious and Ryan was now really concerned.
"Seth, what's going on?"
"Summer has leukaemia, and I chucked her out the house, and now she hates me and all I can do is think about her and want her more and more." Seth without pausing once, he knew if he stopped he would never be able to finish.
After an awkward silence, Ryan plucked up the courage to say, "Seth I am so sorry, I really am, I wish there was something I could do for you guys."
"But that's just it Ryan, there is no us, anymore. That is what I need your help with. I need you to help me win her back."
