Chapter 2: "She knows the party makes me nervous"

Hey all! This chapter is a bit longer than the other one, more soon, if you review!

~ Haley

Marissa woke up that night when she felt someone slip out from the bed.

"Summer?" She said sitting up rubbing her eyes.

"Go back to bed Coop." Summer said

"No Summer, what are you doing?"

She noticed Summers bags.

"Summer, you cannot leave."

"I have to Coop. Seth said that we were holding each other back, and it's true! He has so much going for him and I am only going to get in his way."

"What about his baby?" Marissa asked

"He's better off if he doesn't know, at least for now."

"God Summer tell me that you are not serious about this!" Marissa said sitting up.

"I am."

"Alright then." Marissa got up out of bed.

"What are you doing?" Summer said momentarily stopping tossing the clothes into the bags.

"Coming with."

"NO! You can't come with me."

"You are my best friend and I am not going to let you go alone."

"But your dad-"

"Will be fine!" Marissa cut her off.

"And Ryan?"

"Ryan knows I love him, for now that has to be enough. You are my best friend and I will put you before any boy."

~ The Pool House

"She really took it that bad?" Ryan asked as he and Seth spent much needed guy time.

"Yeah." Seth said sitting down on the bed resting his elbows on his knees. "I had no idea she even liked me that much."

"You did what you had to do bro."

"I hope so."

"Having second thoughts?"

"I donno, maybe…" He said looking up at Ryan

"Go get her then before she does something rash."

"You think she would?" Seth asked

Ryan gave Seth a look.

"Rage blackouts, got it." Seth said as he rushed out of the pool house

Seth drove the Rover down the street going over his speech in over and over in his head. 'Hey Summer, what's up, um yeah, about earlier, … forget that…' No wait that sounded a little too- and before Seth knew it he was at Summers house.

He knocked on the door. Nobody answered.

"SUMMER!" He yelled "SUMMER!" He begged "I AM SO SORRY! LOOK I MADE THE BIGGEST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE! I NEED YOU! WE NEED EACHOTHER."

Little did Seth Cohen know he was too late…
