Chapter 8: "Kick me when I'm on the ground"
Marissa's mind was racing when she saw Seth in the hallway. What was she supposed to tell him about the little boy that was in her company?
"Who is this?" Seth said bending down to the little boys eye level, rubbing his curly brown hair
"I'm Seth." The little boy said.
"Me too." Seth said smiling. "Dude this kid has the same name as me!" He said looking up dumbly at Marissa, who in turn rolled her eyes. "Who's kid is he?"
"Summers." Marissa said drearily.
"WHAT!" Seth said standing up. "Where is she?" He asked looking around the hall.
"In my place." Marissa said picking up little Seth and putting him on her hip.
"I need to talk to her." Seth said. His eyes were darting around.
"I'm taking little Seth to the store to get stuff for breakfast. You can go on in. The door is open. She's asleep." Marissa said heading down the hallway unsure is she had done the right thing.
"Thanks." Seth said starting to a slow jog to Marissa's place.
He walked in the apartment, figuring that Summer would be in the bedroom. The door was only partially opened. He looked through the crack and saw the first glance of the girl who had hurt him so badly so many years ago… Her arms were sprawled about on the bed, and the bottom of her back and her bare legs were exposed… Seth saw fresh bruises forming on them. What had happened to her over all of these years? Her hair was up in a high loose ponytail that Seth had seen so many times. Her body was a lot thinner than it used to be…
"Summer." Seth said tapping on her shoulder. Summer jumped out of the bed. She met him with a punch to the jaw.
"OH MY GOD!" Summer yelled when she realized that it was not Todd who she punched. She looked around the room. "Seth where is he?" She asked running around the apartment.
"RIGHT HERE!" Seth said waving his arm in front of her face.
"Not you Cohen, my son-" Summer turned around and looked Seth Cohen, the love of her life in the face... The love of her life that she had just punched… "Seth…" She said swallowing a lump in her throat.
"Little Seth is at the store with Marissa." He said
"What are you doing here?" Summer said wrapping her arms around herself suddenly becoming aware of her appearance.
"I live here." Seth said
"YOU LIVE WITH COOP?" Summer asked feeling like the 17 year old jealous girlfriend again.
"No. I live down the hall." He explained.
"So then why are you here?" Summer asked.
"Little Seth." Seth said
"What about him?" Summer asked him.
"Is he mine?" Seth asked
"I how could he be yours! The last time that we slept together was high school!" Summer practically yelled in anger. Sure she wanted little Seths to be Seth's, but he was Todds! Him rubbing it in her face was just plain wrong!
"You don't remember?" Seth asked squinting his eyes.
She remembered his visit… but nothing that would result in a child… Summer didn't remember a lot, thanks to taking so many blows in the head from Todd, and yet she said nothing to Seth.
"I came to visit you at Berkley…" He began.
18 year old Seth Cohen skated along the main campus of Berkley. He stopped when he saw her in the distance… She wore a short skirt, and a tank top. A guys arm was slung over her arm and would occasionally travel to fondle her in one place or another.
Seth raised his eyebrow and decided not to question it. He skated over to them…
"Summer." He said getting off of his board and putting it in it's rightful place under his arm.
"Who's this dick head?" The guy that Summer was with said staring at Seth earning a laugh from all of his friends.
"Leave him alone Todd…" Summer said chuckling uneasily
"You know this prick?" Todd said shooting a glare at Summer.
"I um… we uh…" Summer stuttered.
"Grew up with each other." Seth added.
"Yeah, this is um… Seth Cohen, my cousin…" Summer said.
"Oh." Todd said turning his back to Seth like he wasn't worth their time.
"Yeah, well… Cousin Summer…" Seth began, "Aunt… Gail had a heart attack, … she didn't make it… so I um, need to discuss… funeral arrangements with you… Like now." Seth said.
The awkwardness of the situation went unnoticed by Todd who was checking himself out in the mirror…
"Sure." Summer said. "Do you mind?" Summer asked looking up at this Todd guy.
He though for a second.
"Be back by two." He said. He then leaned her back against the tree where they were standing and practically raped her mouth with his tongue.
Seth looked away. Summer wiped her mouth and hurried off with Seth.
"What the hell was that?" Seth asked when they reached his car.
Summer couldn't look him in the eyes. She just stared at her manicured nails.
"ANSWER ME DAMNIT SUMMER!" Seth now yelled.
Summer flinched. She had never heard Seth raise his voice like that before.
"My boyfriend." She said in a quiet voice.
"How the hell did you hook up with that prick?" Seth asked
"He's nice. I swear it." Summer insisted.
"If he is so nice then why do you look so miserable?" Seth asked rubbing small circle on her back as he drove. They parked in an empty parking lot.
"I… I'm… because Seth I ruined the one good thing that I had going for me." She said
"What was that?" He asked leaning in towards her.
"You…" Summer said letting him kiss her…
Seth gently laid Summer down against the seat and scooted partially on top of her. Her hands traveled up his arms…
Summer woke up hours later. Seth was asleep, his arms wrapped around her body. What had she done? She didn't deserve Cohen! That was why she broke up with him! That is why she lied and told him that she didn't love him…
Summer wandered back to campus feeling guilty for leaving Seth but she had no other choice. She would hurt him. She hurt anyone that she got close to. She entered her room to find Todd waiting for her.
"Where have you been BITCH?" He yelled. "You fucked him didn't you? Your cousin! Dirty slut. What did you do to him? What are you like an inbred cunt or something? What the hell Am I supposed to do with you now? You belong to ME! Do your best to remember that!" He said pushing her on the bed… He wasn't gentle like Seth. His hands were rough and uncaring and cold over her body… Why had she left him? … No, She didn't deserve Seth, this is what she deserved…
…and then the memory faded…
Back to reality…
"You don't remember?" Seth said
"No." Summer said bursting into tears.
I know that the break up was not exactly explained but it will be soon!
