"Oh my god, Coop we have to hide this test."
"Summer he is going to find out eventually, you can't hide it forever."
Seth walked around the apartment"Sum, Marissa are you here."
Summer shoved the box and stick at her best friend"Please…"
Marissa grabbed them and put them in her purse"Fine, but Sum…you have to promise to tell him."
"I will, just not right now."
While Seth was in the bedroom, Summer and Marissa discretely snuck out the bathroom. Hearing noises outside, Seth walked back into the living room where he came upon Summer and Marissa on the couch.
"Have you been here the whole time"
Summer tried to cover"We just got back. We should have left a note."
Seth looked at Marissa"Don't worry about it. I am sure it was very productive."
Seth tried to get an answer from Marissa's expression, but it was useless.
"So the kitchen is a mess Sum. It looks like a tornado whipped through there."
Summer got up from the couch"Yeah I better go take care of that."
Leaving them alone, Seth saw this as his chance to get Marissa to cough up any information of the disorder front.
Barely above a whisper Seth started the questioning"So did you ask her about it."
Marissa knew it wasn't her place to tell Seth about Summer's pregnancy"She's definitely not bulimic. I think something just didn't settle right that day or something like that."
Seth could tell she was hiding something, but pretended like he didn't notice.
"Well that's good to hear."
"Yeah…I better get going. My day is going to start early tomorrow."
Marissa hugged Seth and as he pulled away he mouthed a "thank you." Marissa just looked at Seth, trying to imagine his face when Summer tells him about the pregnancy. She just smiled knowing that he will probably be thrilled once he finds out.
After Marissa left, Seth stood in the doorway of the kitchen, just staring in awe of Summer.
"You're not mad, about the eating thing, are you"
Summer just ignored Seth.
"You don't have to answer now, but I want you to know that I'm sorry."
Summer turned around with a dish in hand"Just answer me one thing. Why couldn't you come to me about it? Why Marissa"
"I figured that she would be able to get more answers from you, than say me."
Summer still wasn't satisfied"And for the record, I don't really appreciate you discussing our sex life with Coop. Chino, I could understand, but Coop."
Seth was confused"I don't know what you're talking about."
Summer had blown a fuse"You know what….nevermind."
She slammed the plate on the counter and blew past Seth in the doorway.
"Summer…what is going on with you? One minute your happy and the next your Frankenstein. Is it that time of the month again"
Summer screamed at the top of her lungs"COHEN! What the hell is your problem. Don't you think you could give me space"
"It's my apartment, so why do I have to give you space."
"So, now it's your apartment. I'll just solve this problem." Summer walked into the bedroom and threw her suitcase on the bed. She started shoving clothes in, when Seth walked in.
"Sum, what are you doing"
Summer turned to face him, with tears falling down her cheeks"What does it look like to you Cohen"
"It looks like your packing…"
"I'm leaving….I need to go back to Newport."
Summer started putting her pictures in the suitcase.
"Oh..wait…don't do that. You don't need to do this." Seth closed the suitcase"We can work this out."
Summer crossed her arms"Maybe we could, but right now I just want to go home."
"This is our home…"
"No Seth." He knew she was mad. "This is your home. My home is Newport. I can't stand this city, I hate the cold and I miss the ocean."
"What are you talking about? There's ocean, you have to drive a little bit, but…"
Summer cut him off with a glaring look. Seth knew he had lost the battle, and he receded back to the living room. He sat on the couch and looked up at the ceiling, hearing muffled cries from the bedroom occasionally. Summer finally walked out with her three suitcases as she rolled them towards the door. Seth got up and offered to help her.
"Don't bother. There's a cab coming to get me."
"Summer…does it have to end like this."
She looked back at him"It's not ending Cohen….I just need to go home and think. Get my priorities straight."
Seth looked down as he spoke"Am I one of those priorities."
"Seth…this just moved so fast and I need a break; to cool off and think. Give me that"
Seth lifted his head from the ground"Okay…I love you Sum."
She hugged him and gave him a quick kiss"I love you too, Cohen."
And with that Summer walked back out of Seth Cohen's life for the umpteenth time. He collapsed on the couch and picked up the phone. He dialed the familiar number, until a voice picked up.
"Hello…"
"Hey Marissa, it's me. Do you think you could come over"
"Yeah…I'll be there as soon as I can." Seth hung up the phone and just put his face in his hands while tears started to fall.
As Summer got into her seat, she looked out the window one more time. She saw the city and thought of Seth in the apartment, probably sitting confused talking to Marissa. She placed her hand on her stomach and talked to it,
"I have to do this for us. You'll understand one day." A tear fell down her cheek and she wiped it away.
