Summer exhaled grumpily, toying with her hands. It had been a week…a very long week…since she had told Seth she couldn't live in snow white's cottage, and her conscious was eating her alive.

Moving in with Cohen was supposed to make them happier. Instead, she was more miserable than the day she was when she first told Cohen that they had a baby.

OK, maybe not that miserable, but it was terribly close. Summer mentally slapped herself for feeling guilty. It was Seth's fault. How could he expect her, of all people, to live in the ghetto's mc mansion?

She plastered a fake smile on her face and pushed the oversized doors open, revealing lockers, students, and…Seth. Her eyes quickly met his, but his darted away fast. He'd been avoiding her since her 'confession'.

She'd tried to talk to him but all he did was shoot things back at her. Well, they were things she'd said to him. She hadn't exactly been sweet about the whole house thing.

When they had first gotten together she was afraid because she knew that she would end up hurting someone that loved her that much.

But she never did. He was always hurting her. The first thing she'd done to really hurt him was the Caden debacle. And well, you all know that story. This house thing was completely different, though.

She was cruel and she was bitchy and she was harsh. She was the person she was before she met Cohen, and that was a person she vowed to never show him.

Summer carefully walked in Seth's direction, waiting to see if he'd turn and walk aimlessly away from her. Luckily, he didn't see her coming as he shoved books into his bag, so she quickened her pace, stopping at her destination.

"I know your avoiding me" she plainly stated, holding her breath for possibly a nice reply.

"Now why would I do that?" he started. "Thing's are just peachy" he finished, sarcasm dripping from his every word.

No such luck, she thought to herself.

He slammed his locker door shut and turned to walk away yet again. This had to stop. They couldn't keep doing this.

Summer tossed her hand out, resting it on his arm.

A familiar yet missed energy ran through both of them as they touched. They were going on two weeks without talking, touching, kissing, laughing…doing anything with each other, and it was driving them both crazy.

"Seth, please" she whispered quietly. Emotion filled her voice and played in her dangerously dramatic brown eyes.

"Please stop doing this" she continued. "I know that the things I said last week were awful and I would take back every last word if I could…but I can't"

Seth was contemplating what to do. A massive part of him wanted to push her up against the lockers and press his longing lips against hers.

Another part wanted to run as far away from her as possible and ride out the awkwardness between them.

But his body chose neither. He stood glued in his spot, motionless. His mind kept replaying everything that had happened.

"Summer, what the hell are you talking about? 5 minutes ago you were fine with everything. Then we get in the car and you suddenly change your mind, ranting on about how awful the house is?"

Summer glared at him. "Don't make me out to be the bad guy here. How could you possibly think I would live in that?"

"You shouldn't care about what the house looks like, Summer. All you should care about is the fact that we would be living together, raising our son and making lives for ourselves. But no, you're to god-damned concerned about what Newport thinks!"

"Well ya know what, Cohen? I do care what people think! Besides that, maybe I don't want to live with you. Maybe I just said it because I didn't want to hurt your feelings! I don't want Caden to be around you constantly because I don't want him to turn out like you and all your Cohen-y ways" Summer screamed. She instantly regretted everything she said, but it was too late to cram the words back in her mouth. They were out there.

Seth opened the door to the Range Rover and crawled out. "Fine…If I don't make you happy then just stay the hell away from me" he yelled, slamming the door.

"Fine I will, because you don't make me happy Seth! I'm with you because I don't have a choice. Caden doesn't give me a choice"

Seth turned around, staring through the window. He looked so incredibly hurt. He shook his head and turned around, walking off. Ryan, Marissa, and Anna had exited the car earlier in the fight to give them some privacy.

Seth said something to Ryan and they all got back into the range rover…except for Seth.

Summer collapsed in tears, shaking.

Seth grimaced at the memory. "Which part are you sorry about, exactly? The things you said or the fact that you wouldn't give Caden to me for the weekend?"

Summer closed her eyes. Why she had done that she didn't know. But she wouldn't let Seth near Caden all weekend. He called but she wouldn't pick up. She just stared at his name on the screen. He came over but she wouldn't answer the door. She just stared down on him from her window.

"I'm sorry for everything, Seth. I'm sorry for everything I did and everything I said"

Seth stared at her for a second. "Good, you should be" he said before walking off. Summer sighed and leaned against the gray medal locker. That went better than her previous attempts.

Summer's House—after school

"No offence Sum, but that was a pretty bitchy thing to do" Marissa stated bluntly. She dipped the small brush back into the pink liquid, brought it back up, and painted her toe nail with it.

Summer sighed. "I know. But I was just so mad about our fight…I said some pretty awful things. He did to though! He basically called me selfish"

Marissa rolled her eyes. "Gee, I wonder where he got that from" she said sarcastically.

Summer hit Marissa's arm playfully. "Coop!"

The sounds of Caden's cry entered the room and Summer glanced at her watch. She stood up and walked toward his crib. "Are you hungry?" she asked, changing her tone.

Summer picked the wailing child up and was instantly worried.

"Coop, something's not right"
