DISCLAIMER: Do I look like I own anything?

"Summer?" Dan walked up to his girlfriend. He knew what he had to do and was scared. She would probably get really angry about it. Dan hated when Summer was angry. She would yell and flailed her arms around. There was no doubt she would do something drastic.

"Oh, hey Dan." She smiled happily, looking up from her fingernails. She was painting them a nice, bright orange. She blew on her left hand quickly.

"Hey." He sat down across from her. She was so happy, that made everything even harder for him to do. Dan did not want to bring her down at all, espcially when she was happy. He thought about backing out many times, but knew he couldn't.

She leaned over and gave him a fast kiss on the lips before looking at him closely. Summer noticed that he was thinking about something. He looked unsure and like he was holding back. Something was obviously on her boyfriend's mind. Someone could see it from a mile away. Dan was the worst at concealing emotions. She guessed he never really had to like she did. "What's wrong?" She questioned in a whisper, breaking his daze.

"Um, can I ask you something?" He answered with another question.

"Of course you can!" She exclaimed with a wide grin. She figured it'd be something stupid like an invitation to dinner. He was probably worried she'd have to work on a school assignment because it was only Thursday.

"The um, extra credit went well? I mean you had no um, trouble…hugging Seth?" He added the last part on an urge to get straight to the point. He knew that would upset her, faster. Dan just couldn't stand it anymore he wanted to know what was going on.

"Oh my god." A mortified look crossed Summer's face as she looked into her boyfriend's eyes. Dan had seen the hug? She couldn't believe it. Did he think there was something going on with her and Seth? Of course there wasn't! She was just grateful he had helped her.

"Don't. don't get mad okay Summer. Just tell me what happened. I'm uh, listening." He mumbled, afraid of her next reaction. He looked away for a minute and then looked back.

"I, I, it-t meant nothing really. No, that's a lie. The hug did mean something." Summer told him with a sad look plastard to her face. She wanted to juice her respondce for all it was worth. Make him wait and doubt their relationship as much as he already did. It was obvious to her that Dan did not trust her at all. She wanted him to become aware of that fact.

Dan's nervous look quickly shot into a look of panic and horror .Summer inwardly loved this it was just what she wanted. She had a point to prove.

"Yes, the hug meant something.." She almost smiled for a second but held it in. "It, I, it, um, it proved that…" She stopped for a second for the drama, forcing tears to spring in her boyfriend's eyes. And the she realized they were stinging on the corner's of her's as well. There was something she couldn't quite displace. The hug really had meant something to her.

"And…" he asked, urging her to rip his heart out as fast as possible.

"It meant that" She bit her bottom lip quickly. "It-it meant that Seth is very important to me. He is one of my closet friends and I really enjoy his, stupid annoying sarcasm and idealism at times. Plus he makes me laugh and would do…" A smile crept on her face as the tears spilled out both their eyes "He would do anything for me. But, it meant that you don't trust us, me and Seth."

Summer looked Dan straight in the eye, as quickly as her smiled had appeared, it pulled a dissappearing act. Dan knew that he didn't trust her, sub-consiously, he always had. Their relationship could not go on any longer.

"Summer." He whispered taking her hand. "Tell him." A confused look spread over her face as Dan grabbed her hand and started to caress it gently. "The way you described it, a girl could fall in love with him easily, let him fall in love with you." He leaned in a gave her a quick kiss on her tear-stained cheek before leaving.

Summer smiled softly. She was left to think about everything, Cohen, her recently ended relationship. Her history grade. She didn't know what would happen, but she did figure out, in that one moment, she was truly happy to be single and Seth's friend.
