Chapter 3

Within ten minutes they were both in the Range Rover on their way to the airport. They hadn't spoken to Sandy before they left, they would just get the tickets from the front desk. However when they got there, they had found that all of the flights to Pittsburgh had been cancelled.

"Damn, now what. They said that the next flight would be in three days time" Summer said as she sat down in the terminal.

Ryan sat down next to her "I don't know, we could go back home and wait until the flights are back on. Its only three days"

"No I can't wait that long. I have an idea. We could drive there." Ryan looked into her eyes and could see the hope in them. Ryan sighed heavily "Summer that would take nearly two days"

Summer shook her head "I don't care I need to see him please Ryan? Do this for me and I will never ask anything else of you I swear"

Ryan looked into her big brown eyes; he could see the pain, the hurt and the hope. "Fine but we have to tell the parents"

"Ok, thanks. I know you would rather not drive for two days, but I really need this" Ryan just nodded and gave Summer his cell phone. Summer had called Sandy instantly and he said yes and to make sure that they call and for them to stop at a hotel over the night as the drive was pretty long. He told her to put the bill on the credit card that Ryan had for emergencies. They had given him the credit card to buy things with, but knew he wouldn't use it, but Summer would.

Within minutes they were on the way to Pittsburgh, Ryan had brought a map at the gift shop, he moaned that it was ridiculously over priced, but Summer said that it was a necessity, and that it was.

Ryan was driving, because Summer didn't know how to read a map. Ryan turned the Radio on and Rooney was playing. Summer went to turn the radio over when Ryan stopped her, there hands touching briefly, both feeling the electricity that surged through them. Ryan moved his hand and looked nervously at Summer, directly in her eyes.

'wow, her eyes are so gorgeous, I could get lost in them, no Ryan stop, shes on her way to see Seth, your brother.' Ryan shook the thoughts out of his head and looked to the road.

'Wow Chino has great eyes; I never noticed how blue they were before'

"I didn't think that you would want to listen to them… after what happened with Coop" Summer said as she returned her eyes to the side mirror to look at the cars behind.

"Its ok I know you like the song and I am over her now" Ryan said not looking back at her.

Summer looked at him, he refused to look at her in the eyes that was a sure tell tale that he was lying.

"I was hurt when it happened; when I came back she just didn't … want to know me. I haven't spoken to her in three months and I am fine with it, really I am fine with it she isn't the one for me I know that now. If we were meant to be she wouldn't have abandoned me when I came back" Ryan turned to look at her, to make her see he wasn't lying.

"I know what you mean, when I was going through all that stuff before… Seth… called she didn't even call to see how I was; she didn't come over to see me. Our friendship was one sided, I was there for her and she wasn't there for me. So our friendship is over. All she cares about is herself she is so self absorbed"

Summer stopped talking and looked out of the window. She hadn't spoke to anyone about how she feeling since Seth left, but she felt comfortable with Ryan, she felt that she could talk with him without feeling like he was judging her, like so many other people do.

The next few minutes went by in silence as an advert for a free holiday came on the radio. They didn't know what to say, they had both just revealed something they would normally never tell anyone. Just then the phone rang.

Ring, Ring

Ring, Ring

Summer picked up the phone as Ryan was driving "Hello?"

"Hey Summer, how is the driving going?" Summer mouthed 'Sandy' to Ryan and he nodded.

"Everything is great Sandy, were making good time at the moment"

"Seth just called and gave us his address; he says he is living with Anna and her aunt now. He wants us to visit. I didn't tell him you and Ryan where on your way, have you got some paper to write down the address?"

"Yeah hold on let me get it. Ryan where is the paper and pen?"

"Erm its in the glove compartment I think" Summer looked for the paper and couldn't find it, Ryan pulled over and put his hand into the glove compartment. Fumbled around in it for a few seconds and pulled out the paper and pen. "Thanks" Summer was actually embarrassed that she couldn't find the paper, she was never embarrassed why was she this time?

She wrote down the address and said goodbye to Sandy before hanging up.

Ryan looked over to Summer as he drove off again. He knew that Seth was living with Anna he could tell by the look on Summer's face. He also knew that it hurt her more that he could ever imagine.

There was a few minutes silence, when Summer just stared out of the window and Ryan concentrated on the road looking every now and again to make sure that she was ok. He noticed how she kept moving her hands from one leg to the other, and then he noticed how perfectly toned her legs were and how her legs seemed to glisten in the sun he then saw he hand move to her stomach rubbing it as it was growling.

Ryan smirked "Are you hungry?" Summer glared at him "I'm starving"

Ryan smiled and pulled into the service station, Summer had burger and chips, Ryan had the same as there wasn't much to choose from, both eating in silence just enjoying each others company not feeling a need to fill the silence.
