Summer stood in her bedroom looking in the mirror. She had on her favorite pair of jeans. Problem was they just didn't seem to fit her that well. She knew that she wouldn't be getting fat for like a month of so but the pants weren't as comfy as before. Something to look forward to. She couldn't wait for her not to be able to zip her zipper! Not!

Her phone vibrated on her bed-stand and fell onto the floor. Summer raced to pick it up and answered it. Maybe it was Seth.

"Hello?" She asked hopefully.

"HEY! Marissa screamed on the other line.

Summer instantly smiled. Even though it wasn't who she hoped it would be, Marissa was her second choice.

"Coop! I thought you were going cell phone free!" Summer giggled, falling down on her bed, now laying on her back looking at the ceiling like she was 11 again and talking about her latest crush.

"I am. I'm calling from a pay phone."

"Eww. Is it dirty?"

"No Sum. Never mind. Tell me what's up?"

"Seth disappeared."

"What?" Marissa asked, starting to get worried.

"He just left Cali and left me a note. It said he had to get away. He didn't know when he was coming back and that he loved me."

"How could he?"

"I have no idea. But it gets worst." Summer said quietly.

"What. What happened?" Marissa was getting scared.

"Remember last year when I thought I was pregnant but it turned out I wasn't."

"Yeah." Marissa agreed, not getting what Summer was hinting at.

"So…" Summer dragged on.

"Oh my god. You're pregnant?"

"Yep. And now Seth's gone."

"Are you sure you're… you know?"

"I went to the doctor and he confirmed that I was 8 and a half weeks along."

"Sum, do you want me to come home right away?" Marissa asked, generously.

"No. you enjoy Europe. You'll be back in like a month and then you can be with me."

"Ok. But I'll always be there for you."

"I know." Summer now felt she was going to cry.

"Does anyone else know about the … baby?" It was hard for her to say. Her best friend was pregnant… at 17.

"No. I haven't. I don't think I'm quite ready for anyone to know yet. Especially Seth's parents."

Seth stepped off of the airplane. He was torn between what he should do. He had to decide between everything he worked towards with Summer or just destroying their relationship.

Seth's biggest fear was if after Seth apologized, Summer still refused to except him and what he did. That she will never forgive him.

Seth still couldn't conceive how he managed to get himself onto that flight. His mind was pulling him both ways. His heart to Summer but his brain to leave- again.

I guess he just will have to decide when he sees her.
