Sandy's car sped by his house, not noticing a torn Summer. She was crying in a pool of tears on the Cohen porch, after Seth's unannounced and unexplained disappearance. She decided to wait there for him, after all, he might turn up. But by that point, she'd lost all hope of him returning. She wondered what Seth was thinking. Was he bored with her? Was her past ignorance too much for him? Was it Anna? All these thoughts flowed through her head.
Meanwhile, Sandy eventually reached the Roberts' family house. He jumped out, and knocked on the door for the second time that day. Well, it was night now, but he was familiar with the building. He knocked again, hoping for an answer. How could he go back to his injured son and tell him his one love wasn't there? After a third attempt, he gave up, and dragged himself back to the car. He hoped inside, slowly turned the key and backed out, ready to visit Seth again.
He drove slowly down the streets, and thought about everything that'd happened. Ryan's absence, Teresa's pregnancy, Seth's accident. Coincidense, yes, but all at the same time, was too much to take in. He drove by and saw someone sitting by his house. As he sped up to see who it was, her body and face became easier to see. Sandy realised who it was, and ran up to Summer.
"Why won't he talk to me?" said a distrought Summer. "He isn't here, he didn't answer his phone! I looked..."
"Hey, hey. It's OK. We know where he is," comforted Sandy.
"R-really? Where is he?"
"He's at the hospital. He had a..."
"What happened! Is he OK? Is it because of me?" Summer was confused, and convinced that somehow she had got Seth into trouble.
"Hey, shhh. Calm down, he's fine. He was in a sailing accident, but he's resting now." Sandy's words kind of relieved Summer, but she still had questions. "I've been looking for you today, Seth left this." Sandy handed Summer the by now useless note, as she knew where he was. But she still wanted to read what it said.
[i]Dear Summer
I have to go for a while. It's not your fault, it's just, with everything that has happened I need to think things through. I need to figure out where my life is heading and everything, so don't worry about me.
I love you. Take care, I'll be back.
Seth xoxo[/i]
Summer shed a tear after scanning the paper, but started to smile. She had Seth back where she knew he was safe, and she was sure never to let him go again. She hugged Sandy while still in the moment, and he asked if she wanted to visit Seth at the hospital.
"Of course," she replied, wiping the tear from her face. Everything was going back to normal. Seth was back. She figured her life would be fine again. But then there was Ryan. Although Summer was never that close to him, she knew Seth was. She knew that they were best friends, and were never separate. Wherever Seth was, Ryan was next to him. They were practically glued together. But now, they were apart. No doubt that Ryan still thought about Newport, Seth and Marissa. But Summer knew Seth would be thinking about him right now.
As the two pulled up to the hospital to visit Seth, Summer jumped out and ran inside. She knew Seth was fine, Sandy said. But she was still nervous. She had no idea what'd happened, and wanted to see him for herself. She ran up a flight of stairs and tripped, but instantly got back up. Not bothered by her own pain, she wanted to see how Seth's was doing.
Summer was outside of his room. Inside, he was talking to his Mom. Summer was trying to think of what to say, but thought that the words would come to her, and knocked on the door window. Seth looked up, and a smile grew on his face. He waved through the window, and Summer opened the door. She ran to Seth and hugged him.
"Ow, ow, ow." Obviously Seth was still in a lot of pain.
"Oh God I'm sorry. I wondered where you were."
"My dad didn't... never mind. It's just good to see you."
Kirsten thought it would be best to leave the room, and let to two talk alone. She got up and left to see her husband, while Summer sat in her seat. Then an awkward silence drifted into the air, as they didn't know what to talk about. There was so much that had to be said, yet so little that actually wanted to be talked about.
