A week had gone by and during that week, Seth had many visits to his hospital room from Summer, Ryan, Marissa, Sandy and Kirsten. With each visitor, they discussed the things that Seth had missed while he was gone.
Now it is Seth final day in the hospital. His doctor has discharged him, only after making Seth agree to stay off his broken leg as much as possible and to come in for at least to check ups, to make sure everything was healing properly.
Seth was going to catch a cab home, but everyone told him not to, that they would drive him home. But when they found out the day he was being discharged, Sandy couldn't pick him up because he was due in court, Ryan and Kirsten had a board meeting that they couldn't get passed and Marissa was beginning her first week running Newport Living, so Summer said that she would pick him up, since Ryan wouldn't let her go into work, so she was basically bored.
As Summer walked into Seth's room, she saw his bag packed and sitting on the chair next to the door and Seth was sitting on his bed.
" Are you ready to go ? " She asked.
" I am, but my doctor isn't. " Seth said.
" What are you talking about Cohen ? " Summer asked.
" My doctor told me at the end of his shift, that as soon as the doctor on call say me, I was free to go. " Seth said.
" Alright, then what is the problem ? " Summer asked.
" I still haven't seen the on call doctor. " Seth answered.
" Ok. " Summer said and sat down in a chair.
" So when is the welcome home party ? " Seth asked sarcastically.
" What party ? " Summer asked in response.
" The party for me getting out of the hospital and coming home ! " Seth said, as if it was a crime she didn't know what he was talking about.
" There isn't any party Cohen. " Summer said.
" What !? No party !? Why not ? " Seth asked excitedly.
" Because, everyone is busy. " Summer stated.
" Everyone is to busy to throw me a party !? " Seth asked as he lowered his head and raised his eyebrows at Summer.
" Yes they are. Ryan is in a meeting with Kirsten most of the day and then has to go to a building site and Marissa is busy getting used to running Newport Living and Sandy has court. " Summer explained.
" Well, thats boring. " Seth said with a sigh.
Summer just
smirked at him and continued to wait for the doctor.
Ryan sat
behind his desk as he began to sign the stack of papers that were on
his desk. About a quarter of the through, his intercom buzzed,
announcing his secretary had something to tell him.
" Yes Rachel ? " Ryan asked after pressing the button to turn on the intercom.
" Sir, there is a Mr. Hughs on line one. " Rachel said.
" Matthew Hughs ? " Ryan asked.
" I believe so. " She responded.
Ryan was surprised, Matthew Hughs owned a big architecture company. But he snapped out of his thoughts quickly and wondered why he was calling him.
" Thank you Rachel. " Ryan responded and turned off the intercom and picked up the phone and pressed the button for line one and said " Ryan Atwood. "
" Mr. Atwood, it is a pleasure to speak with you. I am a fan of your work. " Mr. Hughs said.
" Wow, thank you Mr. Hughs. " Ryan responded.
" Please, its Matt. " Matt said.
" Alright, Matt, what is the reason for your call ? " Ryan asked politely.
" Well, I was wondering if you did any sub contracting, I would like to hire you and have you work with one of my top people. " Matt said.
" Wow, I don't know what to say. " Ryan said surprised.
" I am hoping that you'll say yes. " Matt told him.
" Well, I need to talk to my wife and find out some more information before I make my decision. " Ryan said.
" Of course, that
is understandable. Just take your time and get back to me when you
have a chance to talk. " Matt told him and hung up.
After
sitting in silence for a while, Summer began to get upset. Where in
the hell was this doctor, she didn't have all day to sit and wait
for him to show up !
" I will be right back. " Summer said as she stood up.
" Where are you going ? " Seth asked.
" To find this doctor ! " Summer said and before Seth could respond, she was out of the room and down the hall.
" Summer ? " A voice asked from behind her.
She turned to find a woman that was on the hospital board with her father. She had meet her a few times, when her father asked her and Ryan to attend a hospital event.
" Hi Dr. Baxtor. " Summer said and held out her hand.
" What are you doing here ? " Dr. Baxtor asked.
" My brother in law was in a car accident and is being released today. " Summer said.
" How is he doing ? " Dr. Baxtor asked.
" He is doing great. " Summer said and then grabbed her stomach in pain.
" Summer, are you alright ? " Dr. Baxtor asked worried.
" I don't know. " Summer said.
" Can you sit down ? " Dr. Baxtor asked.
" Yeah, I will just go in my brother in law's room and kick him out. " Summer said.
" Alright, I will be there in a minute. " Dr. Baxtor said.
After finding out what happened at the hospital, Summer called Ryan and they arranged a group hang out for Seth, Marissa, Ryan and Summer.
Once Summer got home, she dragged Ryan away from Marissa and Seth and told him what happened. They came back into the living room, acting as if nothing happened.
" What is going on ? " Marissa asked.
" Nothing " Summer said.
" Seriously ? " Seth asked, curious since Summer told him to leave the room, while the doctor examined her earlier.
" Yeah, nothing is wrong. " Ryan said calmly.
" Alright. " Marissa said suspiciously.
" So what are we doing tonight. ? " Seth asked.
They looked between each other, trying to decide what to do. All of the sudden, Seth spoke up excitedly " We should go see this band at The Bait Shop next month ! "
" Who is it ? " Marissa asked.
" Hinder, I saw them in concert with Luke, they are a great band. " Seth said.
" Yeah they are. " Summer said in a very happy tone and Ryan nodded in agreement.
" Wow, we have agreed on liking the same band for once. That is shocking ! " Seth said sarcastically.
" Shut it Cohen ! " Summer said threateningly.
" You must really like this band they way you acted when you heard they will be at The Bait Shop, Summer. " Marissa said.
" Yeah I do, a song of theirs was the song Ryan and I danced to at our wedding. " Summer said as she day dreamed at the thought of her wedding.
" What was the name of the song ? " Seth asked.
" Wait and I will show you ! " Summer said as she walked over to the cabinet next to the television.
" Just tell us, there is no need to show us ! " Seth said sarcastically.
" There is no stopping her. She had our whole wedding tapped, when she finds a way to watch it, there is no getting out of it ! " Ryan said and sat down.
Summer sat down next to him a few minutes later, remote in hand, as she fast forwarded the dvd, to the point that it was Ryan and Summer's dance at their reception.
When she pressed play, music filled the room, as Summer cuddle closely to Ryan as they watched.
Honey why are you calling me so late
It's
kinda hard to talk right now
Honey why are you crying is
everything okay
I gotta whisper cause I can't be too loud
Well, my girls in the next room
Sometimes I wish she was you
I guess we never really moved on
It's really good to hear
your voice saying my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the
lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak
And I
never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel
It's funny that you're
calling me tonight
And yes I've dreamt of you too
And does
he know you're talking to me
Will it start a fight
No I
don't think she has a clue
Well my girls in the next room
Sometimes I wish she was you
I guess we never really moved on
It's really good to hear your voice saying my name
It
sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing
those wordsa it makes me weak
And I never wanna say goodbye
But
girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel
It's really good to hear your voice saying my name
It
sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing
those words it makes me weak
And I never wanna say goodbye
But
girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel
(And I never wanna say goodbye)
But girl you make it so hard
to be faithful
With the lips of an angel
Honey why are you
calling me so late
As the song ended, Ryan turned to Summer and saw that she was starring right back at him. Then he leaned in and kissed her. It was short, but had enough passion to show how much they love each other.
