Chapter 4 – Unpredictable.

Yes, the title chapter. I like doing these summary things for each chapter. Seth and Anna broke up, and Summer was in hospital for her overdose. It's now been a month since then, and everyone has moved on. But people can be so unpredictable at times can't they?

Enjoy. Oh and disclaimer – I do not own The O.C, Josh does. And I don't mean the actual place, Orange County; I mean that wonderful TV show that we are all obsessed completely over. (See what I did there?) Anyways, please r & r, much appreciated 

Seth was studying in his room. There was a major test happening tomorrow and now was the only time he could revise.

Silence filled him and he felt a sudden emptiness at the bottom of his stomach.

A month had passed and it was funny how people changed. Anna basically ignored him in school, yet Seth didn't feel a thing.

Summer had recovered from her overdose, though she seemed much quieter now and still people were talking about her.

That annoyed her. At least Seth hadn't said anything.

But she wanted him to say something. He hadn't even asked her if she was all right since she had been back. That was him through and through she smiled wryly. They were back in school now, all the old rules applied.

"I'm really glad you're ok Summer."

"Thanks Seth."

"So why did you do it?" He asked after a while.

Summer looked at him, wanting to tell him, but just couldn't. They stared in each other's eyes for a long time, until Summer blushed and turned away.

Seth frowned sadly. He wanted desperately to know, after all, he was the last person to see her before it happened.

That's why he had a feeling it was something to do with him. If only Summer would tell him. He looked at her again, and noticed her eyes were closed. He studied her face, with his eyes tracing her mouth, her lips, her nose and the freckles that ran along them.

With one final movement, he gently kissed his index finger and placed it on her lips before leaving the room.

"See you at school." He whispered.

As soon as he was gone, Summer woke up, startled. She had felt his gentle breathing and the finger upon her lips. Then he was gone. Smiling, she put her hand up to her lips, savouring Seth's touch.

Summer studied for the test whilst listening to Death Cab.

"How can you concentrate with that loud music?" Her father asked, stepping into her room.

"I just can." She replied simply. She sighed and turned the page.

Her dad really didn't need to watch her at every moment she was alone. Yes, she had taken an overdose, but it was a mistake. No way would she do it again.

"Ok, do you want any food?" He asked.

"No, I'm a ok thanks Dad." She sighed, slightly sarcastically.

Her father left the room.

'I need to get out of here.' She thought to herself.

Brushing her lips, she wondered whether or not to see Seth.

'Would he really wanna see me?' She frowned. 'What the hell.'

She got up, scrunched up her hair, squirted some perfume and walked out the door.

Seth was interrupted by a sudden knock at his door.

"Not now Mom, I'm studying naked."

"Ew." Summer said.

Ok, that didn't sound like his mom. Seth got up to open the door.

"No, no no!" Summer cried, covering her eyes.

"Summer? I'm not naked so don't worry. What are you uh, doing here?" He asked.

Summer uncovered her eyes.

"Ok, that's just weird. Can I come in?"

"Sure." Seth stepped aside.

Summer looked around, getting a feel for the room. She walked over to his desk.

"Oh, who is this I see?" She picked up a light brown plastic horse, slightly bigger than her own, with a main of glossy dark brown hair.

"Um, no one. I've never seen it before." Seth replied, embarrassed. Way to ruin my reputation, he thought.

"Don't worry, it'll be our little secret." She told him with a smile.

Seth still wanted to know what Summer was doing there. And as if she had read his mind, she said,

"There's no actual reason to why I'm here. I just needed to see you."

"Oh ok."

Now Seth didn't know what to do. At the hospital, it was different, easier. But he couldn't deny the way he felt, and for a month now he hadn't thought of anything else but Summer.

"I wanted to see you too." He admitted. "But I never had the courage because in school..."

"It's like we're two different people." She finished.

"No. We're exactly the same." He stared in her chocolate brown eyes and she stared back in his.

Moving closer, it all became a blur as Summer found Seth's lips on hers.

So, they were officially a couple. It had been a week now and they were slowly getting used to being together.

They felt more complete and Summer couldn't hide her happiness.

Seth felt so glad to be with her because she really understood him, and his taste in music. Beauty and brains, he thought.

But there were obstacles in there way however.

Seth never thought about how people would react. Why was he going out with her? They thought.

Summer felt like she was walking on air, as girls looked up to her, knowing she was the luckiest girl in the world to be going out with Seth Cohen. Nothing could burst her bubble.

Except Anna.

"Just to let you know ok, Summer? Seth's mine and I'll do whatever it takes to get him back."

"You just try Anna. I've waited so long for this and nobody's taking it away from me. Seth was there when I needed him the most. Can the same be said for you? I don't think so."

Anna looked at her, and then on her heels turned away. Summer smiled. Confidence was creeping up on her.

Me: It didn't exactly end how I wanted it, but it's on the right lines. You may have noticed a few things I used from certain episodes, like the studying naked thing etc. Hope you liked, and Anna makes her last return in the next chapter! Reviews are most welcome please 
