Summary: Seth breaks up with Summer. Who will be there to comfort her? Ryan/Summer Takes place after "The Rivals"

Ch.1
Summer was lying on her bed reading the newest edition of "Seventeen Magazine" when her cell phone started beeping indicating that she had a new voice mail. She quickly grabbed her phone and dialed her voicemail.

Summer immediately recognized the voice from the first message. It was her 4-month boyfriend Seth Cohen.

"Hey Summer. Right now you're probably sitting on your bed reading some beauty magazine. Well, I think we need to talk. I know this isn't actually talking but I didn't want you to go into one of you're rage blackouts again. Let me get to the point. Last night when you told me that you loved me I realized that our relationship was moving waaaaaay too fast. I feel that I need to see what other fish are in the sea. I can't just date the same girl for the rest of my life can I? Now where's the fun in that? I wanna see who else is out there and have a new girl in my life like Anna. I'm sorry I hurt you. Bye."

How could he do this to her? Her eyes began to fill with tears. Last night's date was still fresh in her mind. She could still picture Seth saying that she was the most precious person in the universe and that she meant the world to him. Then she remembered her simple yet meaningful reply "I love you."

Summer Roberts had never said that to a guy before. Sure she had told her Dad and her step-mom that she loved them, but that was different. She said that because it was the right thing to do. But as soon as she said that to Seth, the look of terror in his eyes told her what was going to happen next. She just simply tried to ignore it and hope that her suspicions were wrong. Now she definitely knew that her suspicions were right on target. Her eyes were streaming with tears now.

She picked her phone back up and listened to the next message. It was from her best friend Marissa Cooper.

"Hey Sum. Oliver and I are going to the movies tonight and I wanted to see if you and Seth wanted to double date. Well, call me when you get this. Bye"

Yup. That's right, Marissa chose that scumbag Oliver over Ryan and the two have been dating ever since. Summers shirt was soaked with tears She knew that she was gonna have to call Marissa back and tell her that she and Seth weren't a couple anymore. She then picked up her phone to listen to the last message.

"Hey Summer, this is Ryan. Seth told me he called you and broke up with you. I'm really sorry about it, I know that you really liked him. SO, I just wanted you to know that umm, I'm here for you and yeah that umm I know what you're going through. So if you ever need a friend who's not permanently attached to Oliver by the lips then give me a call and I'd be happy to hang out. So call me sometime. Bye"

Wow. She never knew that Ryan could speak in multiple sentences or that he even thought of her as a friend. Maybe, just maybe things wouldn't be so bad after all.
