Summer's POV:

Last night was one of those days where I can just feel nothing but the pleasant times with Cohen. It was all too good until the end when I saw his heart shatter. It hurts me too, just to see one another knowing that this whole friend thing was just a ploy to cover up our true feelings for one another. But it was all too well and we decided on the slow process. Damn decisions! I'll just forget about my feelings for today even though I know it'll creep up when I see Cohen tonight. I wish it would just fade away for one night. When did my love life get so complicated? Oh right when I met Cohen… life in Newport is just so different.

I went to see Coop before the concert and apologize about what I did to her last night. I barged in her room finding her out on the balcony.

"Coop I'm so sorry!" I spoke earnestly.

"Summer it's ok really it was nothing, Ryan and I talked about 2- 4 sentences throughout the whole time Seth was chasing after you." Marissa spat.

"Coop no it's my fault it happened. I promise if I want to do something involving Ryan, then I won't drag you into it anymore. Coop I'm really sorry."

"Sum… I don't know what to do anymore. Every time I see him I feel this gnawing pain that things have changed for the greater good. I mean I still question myself if I still love him." She said looking vulnerable on the floor enclosing her legs to her chest.

"Coop I know it's hard to just move on from what you guys had. If you want I could tell Cohen that we can't make it for tonight." I moved in hugging my best friend feeling sad for her.

"Summer it's ok don't be silly. You should go and I'll just stay here. I don't know just tell Seth I'm sorry I couldn't make it or something." She let go of the hug.

"Are you sure?" I tried once more to convince her to come. But her face had this subtle expression.

"Ok Coop I'll tell him. Well I got to get ready for tonight. I'll call you tomorrow." I said gently to relieve our short convo. Its days like these I just want to have a girls' night out with Coop and slump over our problems. Somehow over the summer it all brought us apart from one another.

"Thanks Sum. I owe you." Coop replied as she stared out onto the ocean.

"No biggie Coop… what are best friends for?" I said trying to make her at least smile back at me but she was too caught up into the flowing waves under the gray mist of fog. So I left after those few words to her.

When I got home I took a long hot bath. The water made me feel like it was my home. I mean I know that's kind of weird but there's this feeling where I feel safe. It also gave me a very high frequency of energy so yeah it's good before I start letting out steam in the concert. I wonder how it'll go. I mean yeah Cohen will be there but I wonder if there'll be something that happens. Now more than ever I can't wait any longer! I just wish Coop was there for moral support. But its ok I understand her little issue with Chino. It's so weird because last year I can recall Chino and Coop being this power couple and like nothing would break them apart. Well except for Luke, Oliver, Theresa and her drinking. Ok wow I'm starting to ramble. Damn Cohen! He got me started again! Speaking of Cohen I need to phone him. So I take another minute in the tub just soaking the rest of the day out of me. I step out and entered my bathrobe. Once I found my cell phone I start to phone the Cohen residence.

Ring… ring… ring…

"Oh my gosh Cohen pick up!" I started screaming getting all angst.

"Hello?" a voice spoke. It wasn't Cohen's though it was Chino's.

"Chino?"

"Yeah… it's me Summer."

"Well is Cohen around?"

"Seth? Oh he's asleep right now. I don't know he said it had to do something with… beauty sleep I think? Yeah that's right beauty sleep." He said all confused himself.

"Chino are you playing around with me?" I spat back with curiosity.

"No Summer. I'm not. He is sleeping, want to hear his snoring?" Chino reassured.

"No… no… no… no… It's ok Chino. Well thanks anyways."

"Oh ok. Summer. Is that all?"

"Oh! Yeah I forgot to tell you and this is the reason I called too. Well I went over Coop's today and she said she couldn't make it."

"Oh…uh… well o… k… uhh…" Chino said sounding disappointed that Coop couldn't come.

"You ok Chino?"

"Uh…yeah sure. I'll just tell Seth the news." Chino spoke. It still seemed he was really disappointed that Coop couldn't make it.

"Nice try Chino. Well yeah ok tell Cohen I'll see him later. See ya later… oh and thanks." I said.

"For what?"

"For being my friend." I said hoping to at least shine a light at his words. He seemed really down that Coop didn't want to go.

"Oh ok well you're welcome Summer." He responded.

"Ok Bye." I said as I hung up before he could even say goodbye to me.

It was three hours before the concert. That's enough time to look for a dress. An hour later I was done picking assortments of Louis Vuittons which was a wool embellished jacket, a cashmere sweater, and a fluffed wool skirt. I then took another hour doing my make up and half an hour looking for my blue heeled Marc Jacobs. So I had 30 minutes left before the concert.

I noticed that it had started to rain and it was dark and gloomy. The fog earlier on the day had caught up and now it's pouring. So I decided to get to the Bait Shop now because I have a feeling that there is traffic on the road because of the heavy rain. Once I got the ignition to start I backed up the BMW and headed to the pier.

It felt like it took forever get to the pier. I was heading up this one lane curve up this cliff when I saw this big light. Suddenly I felt this urging pain slam against my small tiny body. Then honks beamed at my body as I was thrown off with my car off the road into this ditch. I fell silent reaching for the depth of air. Fresh air but there was nothing. I was stuck inside this black wholeness of space wanting to escape everything. I heard voices going like…

"We need this girl out of here… she's bleeding. Hurry! Cut the roof open I can see her she's slammed against the door. "

"Yes we're up near this big cliff side ditch. Call the chief we need investigation."

Investigation? Huh? What's happening? Am I dead? As I thought of those I felt this pain in my head and I reached to touch it seeing blood wipe against my skin. Then I was back to the whole of darkness… still black darkness.
