Chapter 13: The Broken Girl is Fixed with Promises

A/N: BEWARE FOR FLUFFINESS. okay, well PRETTY fluffy for usual. R & R plz, and also, sortry for how short this chapter is. ;(

Drip, by drip, sweat dripped down at snail's pace down Seth's forehead. Something, and him knowing what bloody undergarments meant, was up. However, never in a million of years would Seth had of thought that he wouldn't SAVE her when he had the ideal oppurtunity to. Don't get him wrong, he knew what was up when the note drooled of suspicious evidence. But then there was the lack of Summer telling him what had happened, and that just overall pissed him off. And when Anna invited him to this 'important' dinner-party, he didn't have the heart to decline to such a sad girl.
Now however, he changed his mind. Everything and anything he had done in the last 24 hours wanted and NEEDED to be re-done. He would've had a clearer brain, used logic, and perhaps SAVED his girl. HIS Summer.

So, as Seth raced down the road to the Roberts' mansion, he felt as if he was struck by a bolt of rebelling lightening. At the thought that Summer was endangered, and he didn't save her.

Finally he drove up her driveway and hopped out of the car, slamming the door shut as if he was on an anger-mangement session... or whatever.

He knocked and rang the doorbell intensly, and after what seemed like impossible hours, he unlocked the door with the spare key that hid underneath her doormat.

After getting in safely, he stomped quickly up the stairs to his love's room. The room that was oh, so familiar to him, that he knew it inside AND out.

He knocked softly on her white door, which was unfortunatley for him, closed.

A small, whimpering voice said, "Come in".

As he turned the doorknob he noticed how sweaty and nervous he had gotten. What if he was over re-acting, or what if she was hurt. But why "what if" when you could only know if you ask?

So, he decided to open the door. As he did, he saw a small, delicate figure curled up in a round ball. Blood dripped down her face slowly, and bruises spread around her body like wildfire.

THIS, was his beautiful girl. And she is and still is ALWAYS beautiful. Even when her hair is a frizzy, un-brushed mess. Even when she is in torn jeans, and even when her make-up drools down her face.

With a look of pity, Seth walked up towards Summer and sat down on her bed with her. Gently massaging her back.

"I'm sorry I didn't answer my phone..." Was all Seth managed to say. How could Zach have DONE this to his precious, beautiful girl?!

Summer cried, something hardly ever done from THE Summer Roberts. She cried few times, because Summer never wanted to be the whiny girl like our friend Marissa Cooper. Of course she felt hurt, but she always bottled it up in a glass jar and threw away the key. But now, that key was found, and the bottle was broken.

Summer sobbed quietly as Seth smoothed her hair out, trying to comfort her.

When it was time, Seth asked, "Shhh... baby what happened? You could tell me."

Summer turned over her body so that she faced Seth. He could really tell SOMETHING was up.

"I-I I'm so sorry Seth." She cried.

First off, she only said Seth when was really serious. And secound, why was she saying sorry?

"Sorry for what baby?" He asked softly, throwing his arms around her delicate frame.

Summer cried into his shirt, he could feel the tears seep through, but he didn't care.

"I'm sorry for-for not telling you the truth. And-and spazzing at you like that in class and w-

He stopped her by putting his hand infront of her mouth. "It's okay... you can tell me now... Okay?" He asked, kissing her hair.

"Cohen... before, I-I tell you, I need you to know that-that, I know about you and Anna..." She started crying harder and louder.

"You know what about us...?" He asked, worried she found out about Anna's surprise kiss.

"Why didn't you tell me you and her were dating!?" She asked angrily.

"SUMMER!? What are you talking about?! I would never date someone I don't lov-

"That little bitch." Summer said, smiling up at him.

"Summer, whatever she told you, forget it. She probably just did that to get you jealous... wait, it did get you jealous did it? I mean if you didn't get jealous, that's fine, but like, I kinda... uh, want you yo, um... -

"Cohen," Summer whispered, "Shut up."

"Ah... right..." Seth said, clearly embaressed.

Summer smiled at his cuteness.

"So... do you... uh... wanna tell me...?"

Summer gulped, NOW was the TIME."It's Z-z-zz-Zach." She cried.

Seth hold her closer and tighter, that little ass, HE was going to PAY!

"Summer... shhh... what did he do to you, please?"

"He... I don't know... he just, was angry... and and... drunk..." Summer said crying louder.

Seth held her closer and tighter again.

"Then he promised me he wouldn't do that at the-the Inn, and he did it again!." She said almost yelling.

"Where did he hurt you?" Seth asked more serious.

"Everywhere." Summer turned away, so Seth wouldn't see how humilated she was.

Seth pulled her towards his stomach and cooed, "Summer, I love you. And I want to make you feel better, okay? So... we'll deal with Zach in the morning, but for now, let's clean you up." Seth managed a grin.

Summer turned around and kissed Seth's lips softly, "But... it-it hurts, so much, Cohen, please. I can't even get up."

"I'll help you." He smirked.

She smiled back at him. At that moment she knew who loved her, and how much they really did. She was even starting to confide and maybe forgive his little episode in the summer, was uh-

a little too fast Summer, calm down.

---

Summer stripped off her clothes when Seth decided she takes a hot shower to ease the bruises. As she was butt naked Seth stared at her in awe.

"Wo-wow." Seth said, dumb-struck.

"Ugh... you are such an ass Cohen." Summer laughed.

"Sorry... but what the fuck did he do to you Summer? You have bruises everywhere!"

"Yeah... well..." Summer mumbled.

Seth approached her and put his hands on her delicate shoulders, she winced.

"Sorry..." Seth mumbled. "Okay, Summer, really I need to talk with you. First, let me start off by telling you how sorry I am for leaving you this summer. Pathetic, I know, but I felt kinda insecure about our relationship if Ryan left, so I didn't want to cause myself pain from having you reject me, so I sailed away. And, I know that I shouldn't have been forgiven for putting you in such pain, I didn't even think I meant that much to you. As you do to me. Because Summer, I love you. Please know that. And I swear, I never wanted to hurt your feelings, and you're perhaps the only reason why I ever woke up in the morning. I just didn't want you to wake up one morning and realize what a mistake you made. I mean, I'm some geeky kid who listens to emo, and you're this, beautiful, popular girl who everyoneloves. And I'm sorry. But, I love you."

When Seth was finally done, he looked down so Summer could say something.
When he looked up he saw that Summer had tears in her eyes.

"W--wh-- it wasn't tha -

Seth was interuppted by Summer kissing his lips passionatley and pinning him against the bathroom wall. She felt all her pains go away, and was in complete bliss with Seth's arms around her naked body. Slowly, she allowed her tongue into his mouth, and could feel Seth's familiar tongue venturing into her mouth. She started to get things heated by putting her hand down his shirt when she collapsed in pain.

"OW!" She screamed.

"Oh my god," Seth picked her up. As weak as he was, he was actually surprised to see how light Summer was. Curse Zach for not feeding her properly.

Summer started crying in pain, "It-it hurts, so fucking much Cohen."

"I know, I know." He said concerned.

In his arms, Seth opened the shower door and put her down, "Summer, things are going really great. Well... okay, not sooo great, but you get what I mean. But this isn't over. You've still got Zach on your radar, and he can strike back. So please, Summer,
come to me for everything. Whenever you need help please. And don't deny it, I'll understand." He managed a smirk.

Summer looked up at him with puppy dog eyes. Just then did Seth realize how vulnerable and scared Summer really was. He chuckled at the sight of a naked Summer laying down on a cold shower floor. She looked too cute for words.

"I promise." She grinned.

And she meant it.
