Summer stared at Seth for a moment before she let him in. She saw the worried look on his face, and it scared her, it was a far cry from the happy, loud, rambling Seth Cohen she was used to. She shut the door behind him, as they both walked into her room, there weren't many options of places to sit, but after a moment, Seth made his way to the edge of her bed, and sat down. The move was bold, confident, very un-Seth-like it was then that she knew that something was really wrong. Summer sat next to him, close enough so that she could smell his cologne, but not close enough that she would be tempted to do something that she might later regret.
Seth took a deep breath and closed his eyes; his brain and heart debated on whether or not he could tell her. On one hand she needed to know about her lover's infidelity, but on the other hand he didn't want to see her hurting, he didn't want to see her cry. He slowly opened his eyes and was greeted by the sight of Summer, a look of confusion on her face. She reached across and took hold of his hand squeezing it his hand softly.
"Seth, what is it?" she asked in a quiet voice, "Did something happen? Are your parents okay?" She asked. This surprised Seth, he had never really seen the maternal side of Summer, and, quite frankly, he liked it. He gave her a sad smile.
"My parents are fine, but Summ , something did happen, I just don't know how to say it," Seth began, frustrated by the situation.
"Take your time," she said softly, her hand now resting on his knee, attempting to comfort Seth, the only way she knew how. Summer didn't yet know what was so horrible that Seth was in her room at 2 in the morning, but she could see how torn and upset he was. Seth just looked at her with a sad look in his eyes, she didn't even know that her boyfriend was a dirty lying ass hole, err that her boyfriend was cheating on her, and all she was worried about was Seth, he couldn't stand it any longer, and found himself just blurting it out.
"I think Robert is cheating on you." Her hand recoiled as if she was burned, and a gasp escaped her lips.
"What! Why would you think that?" Summer asked, dumfounded, sure Robert wasn't the best boyfriend in the world, but cheating? She didn't think he would do that to her.
Seth didn't answer her right away, he avoided her gaze completely; she had asked the one question that burned in her mind.
"Who…?" Summer trailed off, as she met Seth's gaze, he understood, he always had been able to read her every emotion.
"Olivia," Seth said, so softly Summer could barely hear it, but the revelation shocked her.
"Olivia?" She questioned, hoping she had just misheard him, she really didn't want it to to be Olivia, it couldn't be Olivia, she was the sweetest person Summer had ever met.
"She didn't know either Summ, she thought that she was the only one- Olivia, was so worried that you would hate her, she was crying when she found out." Seth said replied. He could sense the anger in Summer's voice, he could feel the rage black out approaching and just hoped that he wouldn't be on the receiving end. He stood up and paced around her small hotel room , avoiding Summer's tear-filled eyes.
"How long?" Summer asked, her voice void of any emotion. In all honestly Summer didn't know how to feel. . Sad? . . Relieved? . . . Used? Too many feelings were running through her.
"I'm not sure, a couple months," Seth said responded, finally looking at Summer; her skin had paled, her eyes seemed listless, a confused look upon her pretty face.
"When did she find out?" Summer asked, her eyes focused on the green carpet underneath her toes.
"Tonight, she was at his apartment and found a photo album, or an email or something, she called me sobbing, she is just terrified that you hated her."
"How long did you know?"
"What?" Seth asked, not understanding what she meant. Summer looked up at him, anger flashing in her brown eyes.
"How…long…did…you…know…before…you…told…me?" Summer asked again, pausing between each word.
"I don't know an hour or two- why?" Seth asked; it was know his turn to be confused.
"So what took you so god damn long to tell me Seth, I thought we were friends!" Summer asked angrily, her voice slowly raising in anger. The rage black out was very near.
"Calm down Summer, I just had to talk to Paris before I came up here," Seth's his answer further enraged Summer.
"YOU TOLD THAT ENGLISH BITCH BEFORE YOU TOLD ME!" Summer shouted, jumping up from her seat on the bed.
"What! Summer calm down!" Seth said, his own voice rising. Summer's next action shocked them both, she slapped him and she slapped him hard; one of her rings made a small gash on Seth's right cheek.
"DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO!" Summer screamed in rage, she ran over to the door and opened it. "Please Leave Seth." She said, her voice now in lower, yet still angry. He stared at her for a moment.
"But Summer. . . I. . . We. . .I lo-"
"Seth, Please leave, and please don't try and contact me, as far as I'm concerned our friendship is over." Summer interrupted said. She silently watched Seth, slowly walk to the door, his footsteps heavy, and a hurt expression on his face. He gave her one more sad look, before walking down the hall. Summer shut the door behind him, and leaned against the door, she sliding down it until she was sitting on the floor, her mind was spinning.
"What have I done?" she quietly asked herself. She had just shut out the only man she had ever really trusted. . or loved.
Okay, This little twist is dedicated to "Barbera" lol in her review she implied that she knew my next move so I just had to shake it up. . . lol you were expecting sex don't even pretend like you weren't.

I'm sorry if I disapointed you Sarcastic.
Banana Split or Hot Fudge?
Seth (appearance wise) 1st or 2nd Season?
Ryan (appearance) 1st or 2ns Season?
Kenzie: Hot Fudge- sorry I just don't mix fruit and ice cream- it's un natural. I love Seth all the time- but I especially love it when his hair is good (he's very hot in Mr and Mrs. Smith btw). I'm not a big Ryan Fan but 1st season- his hair was just better, and he dressed all tough.
