Chapter 3 The Mistake.
MrsAdamBrody – Basically Anna is like Summer and Summer is like Marissa (with the drinking/OD etc.) In this chapter we understand Seth a little more before Anna and Ryan came along. Him and Marissa are together, and very much in love but I won't be including them in this story. Thanks to everyone else for there reviews, much appreciated and I'll try to make the chapters longer.
Seth walked back home with his hands in his pockets, thinking about what had just happened.
He couldn't describe it. Before Anna and Ryan came along, Seth had no one and began to judge the lives of others.
Newport was like a bubble of fake plastics and parties, something he didn't want to be part of. Yes, he had everything he could possibly want, but he knew there was something more out there.
Lost in his thoughts, sounds of blearing sirens awakened him. He looked up, shocked to see them stopping at Summer's house.
He rushed up to the paramedic.
"I was just here, what's wrong?"
"Suspected overdose."
The bubble suddenly burst for Seth.
Summer lay unconscious on the stretcher, with her father on one side and Seth on the other.
"Did you say something to trigger this?" He demanded.
"No, I just left..." Seth began.
Regret began to fill him. If only he hadn't have left.
Anna.
She was everything Seth wanted her to be, a friend, and a lover. But that was it, nothing else. They had nothing in common and if Seth was to dig down to the bottom of his heart, he knew there was no love there.
He travelled to the hospital with Summer and her father. All he could do was stare at her, trying to figure out what went on in her head. What made her do this? Seth tried to fathom the thoughts into one, hoping they'd be an answer. There was never an answer.
He brushed a piece of her hair away from her eyes. He had never noticed her brown freckles that ran over her cute button nose and underneath her eyes before.
He touched her skin, which was soft yet cold. Then he took his hand away and looked to Summer's father.
"I'm sorry. I should have been with her." He hung his head.
Summer's father didn't reply, instead he nodded mutely. They made the rest of the journey in silence, with Seth every now and then moving the hair away from her face.
At the hospital, Seth called his parents and Anna.
"Oh my god. I'll be there soon ok?"
Seth sighed. Was being with Anna a mistake? After everything that had happened that evening, he wasn't sure that he wanted to be with her anymore as her boyfriend.
He sat by Summer's bed, stroking her cheek.
"I'm sorry for leaving you. What made you do this huh? Was it me?"
Summer's eyes flickered and with a blink, she awoke.
"Seth?" Her voice was hoarse and groggy.
"What happened?"
"You overdosed."
Summer suddenly felt sick to her stomach, she never intended for it to go this far. For Seth to see her like this.
"I... What I did, it was just so stupid. A mistake." She told him.
"I know." He put a piece of hair behind her ear and Summer was touched.
Anna stepped in the room, clearing her throat as she saw the embrace.
"Anna, hey." Seth got up to hug her, and Summer turned away.
"So, how are you?" She asked Summer.
The tension in the room was as sharp as a knife. The two girls looked at one another, realising they should be in the others shoes.
Anna knew Summer wanted Seth. They had been friends forever and Summer trusted her with that secret. Even when Anna and Seth got together, Summer didn't stop loving him.
"I'm kinda tired. If that's ok with you."
Anna sighed and walked out the room. Seth followed her.
"She's just in a really bad way at the moment. I don 't think she meant to be rude." He told her.
"Seth, it's not about that. It's us. I don't think we should be together anymore."
