"Mr. Cohen?.."

Seth looked up to see a doctor standing in front of him.

"yeah, that's me! Who are you? Are you Summers doctor? What happened? How is she? Can I see her?" Seth stood up and asked all the questions in one breath, hoping. Praying. That Summer was O.K

"Calm down Mr. Cohen. I have good news, and I have bad news -"

"bad news first! Always bad news first so it can be followed by good news… " Seth cut in

"ookaaay.." the doctor looked a little confused "well, the bad news is that Miss Roberts, has suffered a broken leg, sprained ankle and 4 broken ribs. So that means that someone will have to take care of her, look after her until she gets better. And since her husband cant do that do you think you can arrange something?"

The Doctor raised his eyebrows and looked at Seth. Seth looked surprised, but slowly nodded.

"yeah…yeah I'm sure I'm sure I will be able to arrange something."

"good" The doctor turned to walk away. "oh, and the good news is that you can see her now, she is upstairs. And she can leave tomorrow morning" The doctor left the room leaving Seth to run upstairs.

He ran to the desk " hello .." Seth looked at the receptionists name tag "Denise, could you please tell me which room Summer Roberts is in."

She smiled at his charms "yes Sir she is in room 201. down the hall to the left."

Seth said his thank you's and quickly walked off down to her room. When he got their he stopped at the door, and slowly reached out for the handle 'this is it' he thought 'this is the moment when Seth and Summer finally re-unite after..he counts 7 years.'

Seth reached for the handle and gradually turned it, quietly stepping inside he looked over at her sleeping body. She looked so small and fragile, and it annoyed the hell out of him that he knew that there was nothing he could do to help her, heal her broken bones, fix her cuts… well, he could let her move in with him. He did have a brand new apartment, he would be kind of lonely…need someone to keep him company…but it would never work out, she would never agree, right?

He walked over to her hospital bed and sat in the chair next to her. He carefully took her hand between both of his and held it, like he had done before when he was by her side in the ambulance. He would always be by her side. No matter what.

"hey Sum…So this is kind of weird huh?" he laughed a little "how are you? Okay stupid question. So, look I know your asleep and everything but I'm just guna practice my speech." Seth did one off those clear your throat coughs

"So, I just saw the doctor, he said that you are better now, you can come out of the hospital tomorrow morning. The only problem is that you have to live with someone until you get better. Now I don't know if you have any like best friends or something, but I was thinking…um...that maybe you could...umm stay with me? At least for a little while until your better, you know? But only if you want to of course" Seth finished quickly and rubbed his now sweaty hand down the sides of his trousers, but quickly replacing Summers hand in between them once again.

Seth sat there for a while, not knowing what to say, when he opened his mouth nothing came out. So he decided to ask the one question that had been bugging him for so many years… "Sum….why, why did you leave me?" Seth looked at his feet, "I mean I know why you told me you were leaving. But I don't believe you, I never really did. I suppose I always thought you were scared of committing. But now, after seeing your...husband, rethinking the situation, I don't believe that either. So why did you leave? Really?" He knew he was talking to himself, that she wasn't awake, wasn't really listening to his words. But he had waited for so long to get this of his chest, but he was scared of confronting her. So in a way this was the perfect time to do it.

"you hurt me Summer, so much! I didn't get over you for a long long time. But im still not over you, not completely. I thought I was until I saw you again. But that day you left me, I tried to kill myself, do you know that? Twice actually, what did I have to live for? The love of my life was gone. I had no-one.

I was hurting so bad. I ended up crying myself to sleep every night for about a month, I was so moody and angry all the time I don't know how everyone else coped."

"There were times when I really needed you. Did you know that my mom died? About 4 months after the wedding, or nearly wedding. In a car crash. She died straight away. I miss her so much you know? Dad -" Seth was cut off. He heard someone crying. He looked up at the door, but no-one was there, he felt someone squeeze his hands, he looked up to see Summer looking right back at him tears streaming down her face, eyes filling up more when he looked at her.

"Summer!"

"I'm so sorry Seth…about everything" she closed her eyes and her body racked with sobs. Seth just sat their shocked. How long had she been awake? What had she heard?

He didn't care at the moment, all that mattered was that she was o.k…and she was sorry.

He bought his hand to her face and wiped her tears away, he moved his hand to cup her chin, and he leaned in and kissed her. It was a long, passionate kiss, one that said everything they had wanted to say to each other but couldn't.

When he pulled back, their watery eyes met, and just as Seth was about to say something Summer pulled him back towards her "I …I still love you Seth Cohen" and before he could respond her lips were on his again, just like old times…
