Kirsten grabbed her large tote bag and headed towards her black SUV. Summer followed right behind. She was still wearing the same outfit she had on yesterday, since she hadn't had a chance to go home and change. This morning she had desperately wanted to change. The T-shirt and holed jeans were something that wasn't very comfortable to wear for two days straight.

While Kirsten had been showering, Summer had been throwing up the bagel and milk. Apparently, that wasn't the best choice of food for her. Seth had just been in the other room during it, but Summer had turned on the water faucet on high therefore it had diminished the sound of her vomiting. She would have had no clue what to have done if Seth had knocked on her door asking if she was all right.

As they were en route to South Coast Plaza, Kirsten had turned on the radio to the music she thought Summer would like. Summer cringed as she heard Nsync come on.

"So…" Summer said immediately. Kirsten turned and looked at her and pressed the power off.

"I'm sorry. I totally don't know what kids these days listen too. Or do as a mater of fact." Kirsten laughed softly, using the hand she wasn't using to drive, to push her hair back from her eyes.

"That's okay. I think it's so nice of you to take me shopping."

" No problem. I thought we could bond. I know that your mom is not around at all and your dad seems pre-occupied a lot."

"Yeah."

"So I thought I could. I mean if that's ok."

"Sure."

"So.." Kirsten started as she parked into one of the parking slots. "Is everything going to be okay with you and Seth? I know that he has done a lot of things that could have totally destroyed your relationship. Are you guys going to get back together.?"

Summer's mind clicked and she wondered why Kirsten suddenly had this big interest with her and Seth's relationship. Maybe it was just small talk. She shut the car door and waited for Kirsten to get out and lock the doors.

"Well, I'm not quite sure. I'm still really mad at him but I guess anything's possible."

Kirsten nodded. "Do you want too?"

"Gees… It's not even noon yet. Save the tough questions for later." Summer laughed it off.

The fact of the matter was she wasn't sure. Of course she loved him but he had just took off for the summer without even saying goodbye. The note wasn't a goodbye in her book; it was a note to take the guilt away from Seth.

The baby was another thing. She knew she should have been more responsible for the baby and make a bigger deal then she was about it, but right now wasn't the time. She would worry about the baby when she needed too. Right now she was only a few months pregnant and she wasn't going to ruin those last few months. She still didn't know if she would keep it. Seth would flip.

"Sorry. I didn't mean to pressure you. Ok, enough about Seth. Let's go SHOPPING." Kirsten announced entering the huge building.

After racks and racks of clothes at the hippest of stores, Summer was starting to get tired. She already had about 6 bags and her arms were throbbing. Her stomach hurt and she was hungry. She knew the clothes were going to be of no use in a couple months so she knew she better wear them as soon as she could.

Kirsten on the other hand was loving going shopping. Summer was so surprised at this. She never imagined her as a shop-o-holic. Her clothes were so modern business-like, Summer had gasped at her latest choice of attire.

"Hey Summer. Look ever here. This is so cute. It would look awful on me but it would look so good on you."

Kirsten held out a little bikini with had multicolor polka-dot mix. It was cute.

"I don't know. I mean look how much it is." Yesterday morning after Summer had taken a shower and was getting dressed she had noticed a little bump on her stomach. If she wore a bikini, someone might notice it. Her stomach was usually always like a washboard that it might appear strange.

" I mean, summer's almost over. It's going to get cold soon."

"Get it anyways. Remember we have a heated pool and if not, wear it next year. The cost is barely anything." Kirsten was in such a good mood Summer hated to ruin it.

"Well, I'm buying it for you. All you have to do is try it on in the dressing room and see if it fits. I'm an expert in seeing if it looks good. Trust me."

"Kirsten, really you already bought me all this." Summer begged, holding up the bags.

"You've got no say in this. Remember I have 2 teenage boys in my house. It's not that fun watching them buy polo shirts and wife-beaters. Come on. We are going crazy today."

Summer really never thought about that Kirsten never got to go shopping with other girls. The only time she ever remembered Kirsten going shopping with anyone was Julie. And what fun is going with her?

Kirsten had been trying to be nice but she never realized Summer might not want to buy it because she was starting to show. That stage was a little premature.

"I really don't need it Kirsten. It's so nice of you but I don't think it's really my thing." Summer calmly stated. She didn't want this to happen. It's like when you're at a party and you're about to leave and the host wants you to take food for leftovers. But you're stuffed and you really didn't like the food. You say you're on a diet but they insist. You argue nicely about it but eventually have to state you really totally don't want it. This was happening now.

"Nonsense. It's adorable. Seth will love it." Kirsten was getting a little irritated but still tried to keep her cool. She thought Summer really wanted it but thought it cost too much. The price of the bikini was over 2 hundred dollars. But who really kept track.

"Seth will not love it. We are not even dating. Don't you get it. We aren't dating. We probably won't anymore. He screwed it up!" Summer had lost her cool. Sometimes the truth just had to come out. But probably not in this manner.

"Talk about screwing." Kirsten was irate now too. Chaos.

"I beg your pardon. Summer dropped her bags and intently listened.

"I know."

"About?"

"Your little secret." Kirsten threw the suit in the cart.

Summer shook her head and started to walk out of the store.

"Don't walk away from me, I'm talking to you." Kirsten had hardly ever got mad. Seth had only heard her talk like this twice. Once when he was involved in the model home fiasco and again when he was nine. She had found out he was being a peeping tom to his neighbors, with his telescope.

"Well I am." Summer pulled out her cell phone and dialed for the directory. "Hello, can I have a number for the closest cab. Ok. Thanks."

"Summer Roberts!" Kirsten almost screamed.

Summer turned around and stared at her. "WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT?"

"To calm down. " Kirsten said, noting the people who turned to stare at them.

"You know what? No. You knew all along that I was pregnant. I don't know how you found out but you could have done something else then hide it from me."

"You're telling me that it's ok for you to hide from me that I'm going to me a grandma but it's terrible for me not to tell you?" Her voice was soft but firm. They were now standing in the middle of the mall. The man who usually would be playing the grand piano outside of Macy's had stopped his playing and other people around them were hushed and watching the spectacle.

"yeah! I do. Because you aren't pregnant; I am. I had to deal with it when Seth had disappeared. I came that day to tell you. All you did was pressure me about Seth and I. I didn't do anything wrong. If you would have told me maybe we wouldn't be here right now. FIGHTING OVER A DAMN BATHING SUIT! Summer kind of knelt on the ground and started to sob. " I don't want to be pregnant. I'm 17. Seth could disappear at anytime because he's done it before. AND YOU KNOW WHAT? I DON'T THINK I EVEN WANT THIS BABY! Summer yelled at Kirsten. "SO SHUT THE HELL UP."

And with that Summer slowly got up and marched out of the mall.

TBC.
