Chapter 5: You Like Her
A month had gone by, Summer found herself sitting outside the mens dressing room as Seth disappeared into a changing room. She scanned through her purse and took out a stick of gum and popped into her mouth. She crossed her leg over the other and waited for Seth. Finally after some minutes, Seth came out. He acted like a girl and twirled for Summer. "Do I match with this shirt?"
"Um yeah actually you do," Summer said nodding her head. "But I like you better in your regular vintage T-Shirts"
"Meaning you lied, I don't match," Seth said jokingly glaring at her. Summer shamefully nodded her head and held back her giggles. "You're such a dork"
"Proud of it," Summer said as Seth walked back into the dressing room. Few minutes later, Seth came back out of the dressing room empty handed. "You don't want to get any of the clothes you tried on"
"Nah, let's go look for other shirts" Seth offering to hold Summer's two bags. Summer shrugged and handed it to him. "But first lets go eat"
"OK, I'm starved" Summer said peerkily. They both proceeded to the food court where they found Marissa and Ryan sitting across from on another. They were both giving each other lovingly looks which disgusted Seth and Summer. "They're so weird"
"I heard that," Marissa said turning her head toward her cousin. She stuck her tounge out before turning her head back toward Ryan. At this, Seth rolled his eyes and stood in line for Panda Express. Summer sneakingly stepped in front of him and acted as if she was there the whole time. Seth started at her. Over the month and two weeks he'd been staying there, a crush was developed, despite all of his effort to fight it off. It was actually more than a crush, Seth like Summer, a lot. But he wasn't going to let that get in between the beautiful friendship they had.
"Cutter," Seth said stepping in front of her. Summer pushed him out of the line and stuck her tounge out at him. "How old are you again?"
"Funny," Summer smiled stepping out to the counter area to be served. Seth stood behind her and blew into her neck. She giggled. "Stop it, Cohen"
She turned around and pinched him. Seth flinched. Summer gave him an apologetic look and continued down the line. It was Seth's turn to tell the lady what his choices were. Not far from Seth and Summer, a pair of green eyes watched Seth closely. She shifted in her seat as Seth and Summer went to pay for their foods. "I'll pay for your food Summer"
"It's OK, I can pay for it myself. Thanks for the offer," Before Seth could say anything Summer brought out a twenty dollar bill and told the lady that she would be paying for herself and for Seth. "Come on, let's get our grub on"
"Summer you didn't have to p.." Seth couldn't finish. Summer took him by the hand and dragged them far away from Marissa and Ryan as possible. The girl who had been watching Seth closely got up from her seat headed toward them. She sat two tables across from them and continued to look at Seth. Hottie, she thought to herself. She stayed sitting for a few seconds before deciding she wanted to know who this hottie was. Seth dug into his food and shoved it into his mouth. "I love Panada"
"I can tell," Summer said looking at him weirdly. Out of the corner of her eye she could see Marissa and Ryan heading toward them. "Oh great. Here they come"
"Hey Ryan and I are going back home to hangout there," Marissa said bending down to give Summer a goodbye hug. Ryan and Seth did they boy hand shake. Soon after Marissa and Ryan walked away from Seth and Summer hand in hand. She stopped midway. "Summer, you're going to be OK right?"
Summer nodded.
"Ew, they are so going to do it," Summer said wrinkling her nose. "Note to self, do not go into Marissa's room ever again"
"Hey you said EW," Seth said.
"I did? Gosh I hangout way too much with you" Summer rolled her eyes. Just then a stranger approached them. Summer put her fork down and looked at them. It was a female. She was fairly tall and had a boy-like hair cut. She was pretty, but her clothes were awful. Seth, ignored her and continued to dig into his food."Anna, what brings you here?"
"Whatever, who's this friend of yours? Care to introduce us?" Anna asked pulling out the chair next to Seth. Summer sighed. "Well?"
"Seth this is An.."
"I'm Anna. Anna Stern," Anna cut in offering her hand to Seth. He smiled and shook her hand firmly. Seth, Anna said to herself. "So Seth, where you from?"
"Newport" Seth said turning his head back to his food. Summer rolled her eyes and dug into her food choosing to ignore Anna. Newport, Anna thought to herself. 'Seth from Newport' Anna thought to herself once more. She remembered a boy named Seth who was from Newport. She looked at him closely. "Yes?"
"Seth as in Seth Cohen from Newport, Seth?" Anna asked eyes widening and all. Seth dropped his fork and nodded strangely at this blonde. "Omg! You look so different and grown up. Last time I saw you, you were um.. not grown up"
"OK"
"You don't remember me do you?" Seth shook his head no.
"Hello Seth, you were macking on her at my fathers funeral.. I lied about not remembering her name," Summer admitted. Seth nodded awkwardly and his attention back to his food. 'Anna', he said to himself. Come to think of it, Seth didn't even know her name back them.
"So, you here on summer vacation?," Anna asked twirling the little amount of her hair around her fingers.
"Not really, but sure why not. Yeah, I'm here on vacation" Seth said picking up his fork. Anna scooted closer to him, invading his box. Seth dropped his fork again, he looked at her. "Can you please move back a little?"
"Oh, sorry" Anna blushed moving away. She looked at Summer, who was staring back at her like she was some crazyed women. Anna shot her a death glare before turning her attention back to Seth. "So Seth, do you by chance have a gi..."
"Excuse me," Summer said cutting off Anna's sentence as she got up from her chair. She closed picked up her tray and walked over to a nearby trash can. On her way, Summer had a difficult time breathing. She quickly walked over to the trash can and threw her plate away before hurrying to the bathroom.
Meanwhile back at the table Anna got up. After a short but informative conversation, Anna slipped a piece of napkin over to Seth. "Call me?"
"Sure thing," Seth said smiling back at her. After she was out of sight he took the piece of napkin and stuffed it into his pocket. He looked down at his plate, it was cleaned out. 'God I'm such a pig', he thought to himself before getting up. He threw away this things and sat back down waiting for Summer. It took Summer a whole ten minutes to get back. When she did get back, Summer looked really tired. "You OK?"
"Yeah, do you think we can cut shopping today a little short today? I'm not feeling good, it must have been the noodles I ate," Summer lied through her teeth. Seth nodded and got up. He carried all of Summers things and lead them to the car. The whole car ride back to Summer's house was mostly silence, except for when Seth had something to say about the song that would play on the radio.
***************
A week later the duo found themselves on the balcony, telling each other stories from the past, a little past midnight. They often came out late at night and chatted till the crack of dawn, it was a rountie for them. As Summer told her story of crashing her bike into a wall, Seth couldn't help but stare at her. His feelings for her was still there, it even grew stronger than before. "Seth?"
"Yeah," Seth said snapping out of his trance. She was smiling at him.
"So what's going on between you and Anna," Summer asked crossing her arms in front of her. For the week that had past, Anna was a frequent visitor and caller. Seth would often go out to hang with her. Seth wrinkled his nose and shrugged his shoulders. "Ew, I mean gross. You like her. You two aren't dating, are you?"
"Are you kidding me. Of course I'm not dating her," Seth said shaking his head. "We're just friends"
"People say that a lot," Summer said. "Take Rachel Bilson and Adam Brody for example, you know who they are right?"
"Yeah"
"Well, they've been saying their 'just friends' and the next thing you know people are seeing them all over LA cuddling, kissing and such. There's even a picture of the cuddling in Hollywood. They totally looked good togher, by the way"
"You're a freak you know that. Trust me, Anna and I are just friends" Seth said getting up. "But say we are together, what would be wrong with that?"
"I don't know, it's just.."
"You're jealous," Seth concluded. Summer's eyes widened as she reached over to hit him. She had no idea why she punched him. In truth, Summer was jealous. "Ouch"
"I'm so not jealous"
"Whatever, I'm going to get some shut eye. Meet you back here tomorrow night," With that Seth got up and kissed the top of his head. He walked back to his room smiling from ear to ear. Summer was jealous of Anna.
Once Seth was in his room and had shut the sliding door, Summer blushed. Seth had just kissed the top of her head. It wasn't her lips, but all that mattered was his lips making any sort of contact with her body.
Summer found herself falling for Seth, falling for him bad. Not that she wasn't falling for him before. The crush that developed years ago, only climaxed the day Seth walked through her front door. Summer never really gotten over Seth. Who forget their first crush? Not Summer. She sighed as Anna popped into her head. Any chances of herself and Seth getting together was zip. But then again, even if Anna never came in the picture, the chances were still zip. Who would want a relationship with someone who had heart complications?
Another sigh escaped from Summer as she got up. She smiled turned her head toward Seth's door and smiled. She bit her bottom lip, unaware that Seth stood on the other side of the door closely watching her.
***************
Two weeks had come and gone pretty quickly for Ryan and Marissa, they spent every moment with one another. Heather tried to ground them from one another, but they somehow managed to sneak behind Heather's back. So after a total of four days, Heather gave up. Ryrissa was hard to beat.
For Seth the two weeks came by pretty quickly. The frequent visits from Anna helped. The two would either hangout by the pool or go to the mall. Occasionally, Seth would drag Summer along, clueless to the fact that Anna wanted to just hangout with him, alone. Even so, every time they hung out, Seth would be thinking about Summer. Constantly. He knew he liked her, but a unknown emotion was turmoiling deep within him.
Summer, on the other hand, the week had gone too slowly as her condition got worst. Every night, she would wake up with chest pains and would have difficult time breathing. On a late evening, Summer crawled out bed and out of her room. As she passed by Seth's room, she felt bad for keeping him waiting out on the balcony. This was the first night she missed their late night talks, and it wouldn't be the last. She shook her head and crawled into her mother's bedroom. She shook Heather violently and cried out softly to her mother. "Summer?"
"It hurts" Summer said through her quiet sobs. Heather reached for her car keys and helped Summer up. She aided her out of the room, out the front door and into her car. After setteling her in, she hurried back into the house and knocked on Marissa's door. After four knocks, a very sleepy Marissa opened the door.
"Marissa, I'm going to rush Summer to the hospital, can you please cover for us?" Heather asked. Marissa nodded and followed Heather out the door. The sight of Summer, made Marissa want to come. Heather kissed Marissa on the cheek and was hurried to the car. She hopped in and drove away. Marissa stood there in utter shock, but this wasn't the first time her Aunt Heather had to rush someone to the hospital.
She remembered her Aunt Heather rushing her Uncle Matt to the hospital. It was one of the saddest moments of her life. Her parent's accident would have been the first, but she was only a year old when they passed away. Marissa wiped her eyes and prayed for everything to be alright before going back into the house. What would she tell he boys.
