Thanks again for your reviews. This story is basically what I'd like to see from the upcoming episodes of the OC, I do try and make it as much like a real episode as possible and thereforce believable, keep the reviews coming.

-------------------------------------------------------

Summer's step-mum walked up the stairs to Summer's room, it was almost school time and she didn't think Summer was even awake yet. She pushed open the door to Summer's room and as she suspected, Summer was still sleeping.

Summer's step-mum: Summer, get up, it's time for school. Come on you're running late.

Summer didn't move, after the incident with Marissa last night she had walked home. Alex never came down to drive her home..

Summer's step-mum: Summer come on, let's go.

Her step mum walked around the side of bed and pulled back the doona from Summer's face, Summer's eyes were slighty glazed over and she appeared unconcious.

-------------------

Ryan had walked to Summer's house that morning. He hadn't stayed at the Cohen's last night, opting to sleep on the beach rather than face Seth again. He needed to talk to Summer and try and sort things out with her, as he walked up the stairs to Summer's house he heard a scream. He reacted instantly rushing through the door and running up to Summer's room. When he entered the room he saw Summer's step mum shaking Summer who merely slumped in her step mother's arms.

Summer's step-Mum: SUMMER, SUMMER, SUM, WAKE UP!

Ryan: What, what happened ?

Summer's step-Mum: You are? Call 911, she's taken some of my medication. I don't know how much, quickly! Call a doctor, call someone. She's cold and she wont wake up.

Ryan ran down the stairs and grabbed a phone off the kitchen bench. He dialler in the number.

Man: Newport Hospital, how man I be of assistance.

Ryan: My friend, she's taken some drugs. She won't wake up, she needs a doctor.

Man: Calm down, tell me the address and what she has taken.

Ryan: I don't know what she's taken, anti depressant maybe, it's presciption drugs.

Ryan quickly gave the man the address and ran back upstairs, Summer's step Mum had laid her back down in bed and put an ice pack over Summer's head. Upon entering the room Ryan quickly moved to Summer's side.

Ryan: Is she breathing ?

Summer's step-mum: I, I don't know. She was before, but I think she's stopped now. Her chest isn't rising and falling. OMG, OMG SUMMER!

Ryan: I've done a little CPR training, let me have a try.

Ryan moved to Summer's side and tried CPR on her. Her step-mother was right, she wasn't breathing....

Ryan moved his hands to CPR position and pushed down, then moved to her mouth and breathed oxygen into her lungs. It wasn't working, Summer wasn't breathing. It had been 5 minutes and the chance of the CPR working was getting smaller and smaller. but Ryan refused to give up. Again and again he worked, he couldn't believe Summer had done this to herself.

He was on the brink of giving up, it seemed like no matter how hard he pushed the air into her lungs or how hard he pushed it back out she refused to breath. His mind was screaming and his heart was beating like a jackhammer, he couldn't let her die. It couldn't be his fault, there must be something that he can do. He put his lips to her one last time and exhaled...

Brown eyes stirred away, small tanned hands gripped the bedsheets and she gasped for breath. Ryan quickly pulled his face back from her's, Sweat poured down Summer's face as she sat up breathing hard..

Summer: I'm sorry, I don't know what I was thinking. I'm so so sorry.

Summer began to cry as the ambulance pulled up to her house, she quickly followed by vomiting all over herself. The drugs were still in her stomach and she was still spinning, but at least she was breathing...

-------------------

Ryan rod in the ambulance to the hospital, he waited when she was getting her stomach pumped, he waited when she slept in her ward bed, when she awoke his eyes were the first she saw.

Summer: Ryan, I'm so sorry. I was just so upset, I saw Marissa last night and I told her everything. She hates me...

Summer began to cry again, soft wet tears falling down her cheeks. Ryan moved to the side of her bed and softly sat down with her, he put his arm around Summer and pulled he to him, wiping away the tears from her cheeks. Ryan looked down at her, her eyes were bloodshot and swollen and red rings surrounded them. Her hair was matted and dirty and it was the first time he had seen her without any makeup on, but she had never looked more beautiful. Craddled in his arms she had stopped crying, she couldn't believe the event's of the last day, that she was in a hospital bed in Ryan's arms. It seemed so surreal and yet, it seemed so right aswell. When Summer looked at Ryan she couldn't believe her eye's..

Summer: Ryan, you're crying.

Wiping the tears away Ryan said "Yeah I know, kind of weird isn't it".

Summer: But in Tijuana...................... when Marissa....................... you weren't crying.

Ryan: I know.

Summer sat up in bed and craddled Ryan's face in her hands, she pulled his face to her's and their lip's met. It was a soft kiss, Ryan worrying that he might hurt Summer and Summer hesistant of Ryan's feelings. With hesitation their lips parted after several minuted, they sat smiling at one another for a while after that.

Summer: Don't leave me alone.

Ryan: I wont, I promise.

The two lay down deeped in the bed and in a few minute Summer was asleep in Ryan's arm's. Ryan didn't move, worried that he might wake her, he knew that it was different, but he couldn't believe that this had happened to him twice.

-------------------------------------------------------

Pulling into the driveway from his early morning surf Sandy couldn't help but smile. Everything had been going perfectly lately, Lindsay and Kirsten were really starting to get along and Kirsten had even been talking to her father a little. Both Seth and Ryan were really welcoming to Lindsay and he assumed that Lindsay and Ryan weren't seeing one another anymore due to the news and then on top of all this the waves at an empty beach this morning were 5 foot. As he walked inside he didn't think there was anything that could wreak this day. After fixing some coffee for himself and Kirsten he walked upstairs to wake up Seth, he walked into Seth's still dark and moved to open the curtains..

Sandy: Time to get up Seth.

As he pulled open the curtains he saw that he wasn't just talking to Seth, but that there was two figures in his bed.

Sandy: Seth..... Anna..... What is going on ?

Seth: Ughhh.... Dad ? DAD ! What are you doing ? Get out, I can get myself up,

Confused Sandy just left the room and walked downstairs. Seeing the look on his face Kirsten asked "What's wrong?"

Sandy: Seth's had a visitor. I found him in bed with Anna.

Kirsten instantly moved to climb the stairs but Sandy grabbed her.

Sandy: Let's wait, let him come down and explain everything to us.

-------------------

Anna was still asleep, something which Seth thought was lucky given his Dad had been in the room a minute ago. She had refused to leave last after what had happened, not wanting Seth to be alone. She had offered to sleep in the poolhouse but given they had slept in the same bed before Seth was fine with her sharing his bed. I mean they had kissed yesterday....alot. And he wasn't in the mood to go doing anything more than that. He snuck out of bed, making sure not to wake her and went downstairs to face his parents.

Sandy: So I heard Anna's back in Newport, you must be pretty stoked.

Seth: Haha.

Kirsten: Seth Ezekiel you better explain yourself right now.

Seth: You really want to know what happened ?

Both Sandy and Kirsten just looked at Seth expectantly.

Seth: Alright then, Anna arrived at school yesterday, she's back from Pittsburg and I assume she's staying. We hung out after school which was cool because I haven't seen her for a while, when she went to leave we noticed that Ryan had just arrived home. So we went to say hi and there he was kissing Summer no less. And Anna, being the nice person that she is, refused to leave me alone by myself after finding out something like that, so she stayed the night, I said she could sleep in bed, nothing happened. I was really upset and I guess I wasn't thinking propperly.

Mouth's open both Kirsten and Sandy just started at Seth. It was at this moment that the phone rung, Sandy picked it up.

Sandy: Are you sure? Alright, we'll be there soon. Thanks for calling.

He put back down the phone.

Sandy: That was Ryan. Summer's in hospital.

-------------------------------------------------------

Marissa lay in bed staring at the roof. She couldn't believe what had happened last night, she had kissed girl's before, alot of girls her age did it and it wasn't that big a deal anymore. But it was different when she kissed Alex, it wasn't a dare, it wasn't something that she had done because she was bored. She had wanted to kiss Alex and she knew that Alex had wanted Marissa to kiss her too. And not that just that either, she had enjoyed it and had been left wanting more.

She looked up as the door opened, to see Alex standing before her in the same carebear pyjamas she had been wearing the previous night.

Alex: Morning sleepy head, I made you some coffee.

Marissa (smiling): Yum, thankyou.

Alex walked over and handed Marissa her coffee and sat down on the side of her bed.

Alex: So about last night..

But before she could finish talking Marissa kissed her again, putting the coffee mug on her bedside table she pulled Alex down onto the bed beside her.

Marissa: I don't think we need to have that talk.

Alex (giggling): No, maybe we don't.

They were interrupted by a phonecall....
