A/N: In a review I got, the reviewer said that my story line was off and that probably had never watched the show. Well, I've watched EVERY SINGLE EPISODE and the story takes place after the rivals when Oliver comes into the show but I wrote it my way. So in my version Seth and Summer were dating but he broke up with her for Anna. Plus I said this story takes place "after" The Rivals but I didn't say when after The Rivals it took place. Thanks to all the positive reviews I got, I wrote this chapter longer just for ya'll. Now on with the story.
Ryan and Summer were sitting on her bed in her room watching The Valley. Ryan looked over at Summer and noticed that she was crying.
"Hey, are you okay?" asked Ryan.
"Yeah. This is just a really sad episode," Summer said trying to sound convincing.
Ryan looked over again and saw that Summer wasn't looking at the t.v, she was looking at a picture of her and Seth when they were on their first date at the beach. Uh oh.
"Summer, staring at pictures of you and Seth isn't really good for you, so I'm gonna put them away okay?" he said.
Summer looked over at Ryan and smiled thankfully," Okay, you're right."
Ryan took all four pictures of her and Seth out of her room and into the guest bedroom. When he returned he found Summer had turned off the t.v. and was staring at the blank screen.
"Ryan," Summer asked.
"Yeah," he replied.
"When will the pain go away? When will it stop hurting?" she asked.
Oh boy.
"Well Sum, it takes a while. When you love someone that much and they break your heart, it really hurts. When I first saw Oliver kissing Marissa I went into total shock. I had never opened my heart up to anyone before, not to my mom, Trey, none of my past girlfriends, and not even the Cohens. But I let myself put my heart out on the chopping block and it got cut up into tiny little pieces. It was pain beyond pain. Not the kind of pain like when you fall and break your arm. No pain much worse than that. I would have rather broken my arm ten times before see Marissa and Oliver kiss. I just sat in the pool house for weeks remember? I wouldn't eat, sleep, go to school, or even speak anything to anyone. I put myself through hell. Then finally the answer came to me. All this time I'd been searching for the answer to what I did wrong. Then I found it. It wasn't me that did something wrong, it was her. After that, it took me about a day to get over it, and that's what you need to do. You need to realize that there was nothing you could do. You didn't make Seth cheat on you, but he did. There was nothing you could have done to stop it. Once you realize that then all the pain will go away," he said.
"God Chino, you really did love her didn't you?" she said.
"Yeah I did, but now I realize she's not the one for me," Rand said.
"Well, who is the one for you?" she asked.
"I'm not sure. But I know she's there somewhere. I just haven't realized it yet," he said with a smile.
"You know Chino, you're really hot when you smile. So, if you got a new wardrobe and smiled more then you'd be like irresistible to every girl!" exclaimed Summer.
"Now that's the Summer Roberts I know," Ryan joked.
"Thanks Ryan, I really needed someone to talk to," she said.
"No problem," he said and he gave Summer a kiss on the forehead. With that he got up from the bed and went into the guestroom to take a shower.
The shower felt nice and refreshing to Ryan. That had been the first time he had spoken openly with anyone about him and Marissa. It felt really good to get it all off his chest. He finished his shower and put on some boxers to go and tell Summer goodnight. As he walked through the hall to Summer's room he heard lightening crashing all around outside.
"Man the storm must be getting pretty bad out there," he thought.
He walked into her room and found her asleep on the floor. He scooped her up and cradled her in his muscular arms. Her skin felt so soft and delicate, he just wanted to hold her forever. But he didn't. He put her in bed and tucked the covers around her. He just stood there gazing at her gorgeous features. Why hadn't he noticed them before? Did this mean that he thought she was hot? Of course he did, who wouldn't. But then it hit him.
He just might have a thing for Summer Roberts. But Summer didn't need a boyfriend in her life, right now she needed a friend more than ever.
So with that Ryan kissed her cheek and whispered "Goodnight Summer," into her ear and walked back to the guestroom.
After about ten minutes of just laying in his bed, Ryan saw a figure appear at his doorway.
"Chino?" Summer called.
"Yeah?" he said. His voice full of concern.
"I get to sleep because of the storm, so could I sleep in here with you?" she asked.
"Sure," he replied.
Summer climbed into the king sized bed and Ryan wrapped his arms around her.
"Goodnight," whispered Summer.
"Goodnight," he replied.
With that Summer fell asleep in Ryan's arms.
