Summer was walking out the back door when Seth ran over to her and grabbed her shoulder. He was taken aback by her outfit choice besides the point she was at his house and usually didn't mind what she wore.. She almost always prided herself in what she wore and that was so unusual. But Seth didn't mind a bit. He loved her in a worn T shirt and raggedy jeans
"Sum? Where are you going?" His expression was so genuine that it almost made Summer's heart melt.
"Sum? Stop! we need to talk." His voice hardened a little while he attempted to make her stop and talk.
"Get the hell away from me." Summer erupted. Her mood changed and now she was angry at him.. How could he just leave and expect her to take him back. That was so Seth, she thought. Pregnancy was getting the best of her and she felt such anger and maybe even guilt towards him.
"Whoa. Slow down there ,woman." Seth touched her arm to stop her, but she only shook his hand off.
"You can't just leave me with only a stupid letter and then when you come back expect me to be so happy you're back and just forgive you.! I'm not that STUPID!" Summer was angry and she didn't even finch when Seth looked so sad when she said it.
"Why were you here?"
"None of your business. You left me. You lost that chance. I was a wreck. We were all worried about you. I didn't get a good night sleep yet.
"I'm sorry Summer. I had to get away, don't you understand. I had too" Seth put so much emotion in his voice it was almost believable.
"Bullcrap. If you were so bored with this town why didn't you take me with you? If it was so awful, I'm about as ready to leave as you were. But I stayed here for you. I'm sick of the preps and the jocks. I was with you and that's all I wanted. All you had to do was take me with you. Why? " Summer was irate, almost spitting in his face. She hardly made sense to him but he understood perfectly.
"Because, I had to take it by myself." Seth moved closer to her and she stepped back.
Kirsten and Sandy sat on the couch watching the commotion, not daring to interrupt. They eagerly wanted to know what was going to happen. Kirsten wanted Summer to tell him so badly, she almost wanted to go and interrupt and tell him herself. But now that Seth was back, Summer and Seth could deal with their own issues.
"Cohen! I loved you. I would do anything for you. But you abandoned me. You just left me. Do you know how awful I felt!" Summer broke away from him and continued out the door.
"I know, I know." He said trying to be calm. "Do you know how hard it was for me to leave?"
"Then why did you? You broke my heart!"
"I was only gone for 3 weeks! That's hardly anything!" Seth was getting tried; he had just gotten off of the flight and he had serious jetlag.
"IT WAS FOR ME. It felt like a century." Summer was close to tears but was still able to scream at him.
"Why. I said I loved you. And that I took a trip" He started to yell also.
"You didn't say you were coming back. How would I know you would come back?"
"Because I love you. Can't you believe that?"
"Not anymore. If you loved me enough you wouldn't have left with out me."
"You're fine. I'm back." He tried to get her to understand.
"You haven't a clue."
"TELL ME THEN!" Seth was getting tried. He loved her but sometimes she wouldn't get to the point.
"I have been through a hell of a lot."
"Tell me." They were now out by the pool and Seth noticed his parents by the door. Kirsten was sobbing quietly. She must know something, he thought.
His voice dropped deep and now was calm. "Tell me. I'm here. I want to know."
Summer sat down on the patio chair and Seth sat right next to her. She started to sob and rested her head on his shoulder. "I can't" Seth wrapped his arms around her shoulder and just rocked her while she cried.
