Summer Paradise in December
Ch. 10 – It's Over
Seth entered the hotel room and slammed the door. What the fuck had just happened? One moment he and Summer were flirting and having breakfast together and the next she was in the pool making out with some random sinewy guy.
Summer had gotten out of the pool the instant Seth had called out her name and had followed him to their room. She entered the room about seven seconds after he had and called out his name after she had shut the door. "Seth! Seth!!"
No answer. She left the foyer area sopping wet in her bathing suit and went through the rest of the suite to look for him. She finally came to find him sitting in the bedroom, his feet curled under him, in a large chair by the window looking out at the sandy beach.
"Seth", Summer said calmly. "That was so not what it looked like."
"Actually Summer", Seth said enraged as he turned around in his seat to face her. "I think it was exactly what it looked like! It looked like you were kissing him. Or did you happen to trip and fall in the pool and he caught you with his lips!?"
"Seth, he kissed me! Not the other way around!" Summer yelled. "Just let me tell my side of the story!"
Seth calmed down a bit. "You know what Summer? I couldn't care less right now about your side of the story right now. I've dealt with your bullshit for so long. I knew this was bound to happen. I guess its like out of site, out of mind. If you can't see me then I'm not you boyfriend and you can go hook up with anyone you want. Well you know what; some of us don't have that same philosophy. One of those people being me." Seth said, his words dripping with disdain. "I thought you were different Summer. I thought I saw through you. I thought I saw something other than the Newport bitch everyone else had seen. But you know what; I really had just covered it up. I only saw what I wanted to see. And that was a nice fun loving person. But obviously, I guess the time ran out and you had to go back to being your old self. The bitch of Newport. Not caring about anyone's feelings but your own.
It tore Seth up to be saying those words. But he had to put Summer in her place and he had to say what was on his mind. He unfolded his legs, set them on the floor and walked away leaving Summer too stunned to say anything. She was on the verge of tears and wanted to run after him, but she didn't want to talk to Seth right now, for that would just make the situation worse. She decided that she would give him some time to sort things out and get his feelings in order. Summer walked back out into the main room of their suite and turned the TV on. Click, click, click. Summer flipped through the channels with no intent on actually watching anything that was on any of them. She sighed and thought to herself. "God, how could I have been so dumb. I knew that (wait what was that guy's name) what's his name was flirting with me. Wait, that's exactly Seth's point. I was flirting with that guy and kissing him and I didn't even know his name. Seth was the guy I loved so why was I flirting with the first hot guy that came my way? But I wasn't really kissing him. He kissed me and I didn't object. Jeez, Seth's right, I am being a bitch. It was only last night that he told me he loved me and I told him the very same thing. And I had meant it too. So why was I all over that guy this afternoon? I'll be lucky if he gives me a second chance. Even though I don't deserve one." Summer snapped out of her thoughts when she heard a knock at the door. She lethargically got up and sauntered over to the door. Summer opened the door to find Marissa standing on the other side.
"Sum", Marissa said. "I heard Seth yell your name then I saw him leave then you followed him. What's up?"
"Coop, I really don't want to talk about it right now", Summer told her best friend. "I just really need to be alone for a little while."
"Ok", Marissa said then she turned and walked back towards her bungalow.
Summer closed the door and went back to her bed. She crawled under the covers and finally let the tears fall. Seth had been the first guy that she had truly been in love with. Seth had been the first guy that had wanted Summer for something other than sex. He loved her and he had done nothing to deserve what she had done to him. She could not even fathom why she had given all of that up because some guy had flirted with her. She cried under the blankets of the king sized bed for some time when she heard feet shuffling behind her. She was too depressed to even look up. She knew who it was. It was Seth. But as this point she didn't care, because nothing she could say to him would matter.

Marissa had just gone to the gift shop to get some magazines when she returned to bungalow 1658. She slid the plastic key into the lock device on the door then pulled it back out after she saw the green light flash. She pushed open the door and walked into the spacious bungalow only to find Seth and Ryan talking about something on the bed. She made her presence known and the two teenagers ceased their conversation at once.
"What's going on you guys?" Marissa asked the two of them, knowing that they were up to something.
"No big secret", Seth informed her. "Summer was kissing some guy in the pool while you two" he gestured toward Ryan and Marissa. "Were also macking on each other."
Marissa's jaw dropped. "That explains why Summer was so depressed when I came to the room."
"How selfish is that", Seth questioned. "She cheats on me and now she's depressed? Actually, now that I think about it, that sounds just like Summer. Always making it seem like she should be felt sorry for. And Marissa I know that you are gonna go repeat this little convo to Summer seeing as she is your best friend and all. So could you do me a favor and tell her to stop feeling sorry for herself. Cuz she has no right to feel sorry for herself." Seth told Marissa. "And you can also tell her that this relationship is over. O-V-E-R, over. '
***********************************************
Seth went back to his own bungalow only to gather his things. There was no way he was going to sleep in the same room let alone the same bed as Summer. But when he got there she had already cleared her own things out of the room. Seth went to his suitcase and found a note carefully folded resting on the handle if his duffle bag. It read –
"Seth-
I'm so sorry for what I did to you today. I guess me saying I love you and you saying it back scared me. This does not however justify my actions. I know that I do not deserve to be your girlfriend again, because clearly I can't deal with love. Or whatever it was that we had. But just know, I truly am sorry and never ever meant to hurt you.
Love always,
-Summer
P.S.-I'm just gonna check into another room. You can hang with Coop and Chino. I won't get in your way."
Seth folded the note back up and stuffed it into his back pocket. "Love always, Summer." He wondered if she truly meant it. He loved Summer, even after what she had done to him. He could even forgive her for her momentary lapse of sanity, but he would never forget and he would have a hard time trusting her ever again. He needed to talk to Summer. Now that he knew that she was sorry. At least she felt a little remorseful. Seth grabbed his room key and left the room and set off to find her.
