Chapter 6: Missing Her

"So, she and her mother went upstate to visit relatives?" Ryan asked scratching the back of his head. Marissa nodded and walked out of the house. "Without telling any of us?"

"Now that's technically not true. She told Marissa," Seth joked following Marissa out the door. Ryan rolled his eyes and followed the two out of the house. "Actually, come to think of it. Summer never mentioned anything about taking a trip"

"She must have forgotten," Marissa lied getting into the car. Seth raised an eyebrow as he hopped into the back seat. Ryan stuck the key into the ignition and started the car. The drive around town to no specific destination was silent. Seth hated silence for two reasons. One, he likes to talk, a lot. Second, he got enough of it whenever hanging out with Ryan.

"We should go pay Summer a surprise visit up at her relative's house. What ya'll say," Seth asked from the back seat. Ryan turned his head and smiled. Seth then turned his head toward Marissa. "What do you think about this oh-so awesome plan?"

"I think it bites," Marissa bluntly said keeping her eyes on the road. "Summer hates surprise visits. She may be a nice person, but every person has a mean side. I don't think you guys want to see her rage blackouts.. not a sight to see"

"Rage blackouts?," Ryan asked leaning his head up against the car window. "When does she plan to come back anyway?"

"Probably in a week.. I'm not quite sure" Marissa lied. She really didn't know when they would be coming back. Marissa made a right turn, then a left turn. Seth was getting sick to his stomach of Marissa's bad driving. Marissa looked at Seth through the rearview mirror, he looked like he was going to throw up. "Sorry, I'm just a little..."

"Crazy" Seth finished for her. Marissa rolled her eyes and made another right turn. Seth, who wasn't wearing his seatbelt, went from one side of the car to the other. He hit his head against the car window. At this, Ryan laughed out hysterically. Seth punched him on the arm, but that didn't stop Ryan from laughing. Marissa joined in on the laughing. "You two are so stupid. That hurt, I'll have you know."

"Poor baby," Ryan teased. Seth shot him a death glare.

"Man, she's been gone only a day and already I miss her," Seth mumbled as Marissa and Ryan continued to laugh.

"What was that? You miss Summer? How cute" Marissa teased.

"I'm sick of just driving around, take us back home" Seth demanded putting on his seat belt. Marissa shrugged and drove back toward the Robert's home. She pulled out of the driveway and Seth got out. "For your information, I don't miss her." Seth lied through his teeth.

"Well, Ryan and I are going to hangout. Will you be OK alone?"

"Whatever" Seth said turning on his heels. He ran up the driveway and into the house. The lonely house. What was he going to do while Summer was gone. He thought about calling Anna, but had remembered she was busy for the next four days. Seth groaned, lately he'd been groaning a lot. "I'll just sit in the living room and rot."

Seth walked into the living room and threw himself onto the long couch. The ticking of the grandfather clock annoyed him to death. Maybe the livingroom wasn't such a great place. He got up lazily and headed up to this room.

When he got to his room, Seth shut the door loudly behind him. He hurried over the drapes and closed them. He got under his sheets and closed his eyes. The uncomfortable silence drove him into a dreamful sleep.

*Seth's Dream*

Seth stood in front of a church, wearing a suit. People all around him was dressed up, but his couldn't tell who they were. Their faces were all blurred. He could hear quiet sobs though. He arched his brows. Why were the crying?

Suddenly a little girl walked through the isle throwing floors as she went a long. A Wedding, a wedding was being taken place. Seth stood in front of the church waiting for the bride and whom the bride was going to marry. Then the traditional song began to play. A figure dressed in white slowly made her way down the church isle.

As she drew closer, Seth got more nervous. The lady stopped in front of him and took his hands. This was Seth's wedding, but to whom. They turned their bodies to face the priest. The women Seth was marrying was Catholic that explained the wedding in the church thing. The priest's speech was long. But finally the words he'd been longing to hear. "You may kiss the bride"

Seth drew back the veil, revealing a breathtaking Summer. She smiled gorgeously at him. He closed his eyes and leaned in for a kiss. Just as his lips were only a few centimeters away, a loud bang was heard. Seth opened his eyes. Summer was on the ground. Red liquid stained her dress. Seth knelt down beside her and took hold of her hands. "Stay with me"

Summer smiled up at him. "Goodbye"

Summer's eyes closed. She was gone. Gone forever.

*End of his dream*

***************

Four long and very boring days passed by and Seth found himself still in his room, lying on his bed. Being away from Summer really sucked. He couldn't handle it. Maybe the time part from each other was telling him something. Suddenly Seth jolted up from his bed. "I like Summer Roberts. I like Summer Roberts and I'm going to tell her when she gets back. But right now I'll have to sulk in my misery of missing her"

Not that he didn't know he liked Summer Roberts, Seth was no ready to take a chance.
