The Day After Yesterday

Summer opened her eyes and found herself outside Bailey's house.

Red and blue lights illumined the dark area which was packed full of police, ambulances and T.V. news crews.

Her head was spinning.

Kirsten was stood weeping onto Sandy's shoulder and Anna was sat crying silently on the grassy verge.

Police were taping around the house as more ambulances arrived.

The buzz grew louder as a stretcher was wheeled from the house hurriedly.

It was Seth. Summer ran over, trying to see him but was dragged away to an ambulance to be treated herself.

All she wanted was to hold his hand and tell him how much she loved him.

She stood alone in the ambulance, watching Seth being lifted into the vehicle, followed by a dozen paramedics.

The woman who was examining Summer was called outside and was being spoke to hastily.

"He's hurt pretty bad, is he gonna make it?" the woman asked.

"I don't know, no one does. Apparently he's minutes away from either survival or, well…"

He glanced at Summer uneasily and walked away.

There was a sudden silence outside and Summer rose up, despite the paramedics best efforts.

A tall man appeared at the doorway, calling the woman over.

"We lost him." Summer's eyes welled up as she overheard.

We lost him.

Summer heard those words echo in her head. The world started to spin.

Seth was gone…

Summer's eyes flicked open. She was laid in a quiet room of the hospital. Beams of bright sunlight poured in through the large window with a view of the coastline.

By the window sat a very dishevelled Marissa.

"Coop?" Summer whispered groggily. She jumped and smiled warmly.

"Oh, Summer! I'm so glad you're okay!" Marissa strode over and held her bruised and scratched hand tenderly.

"Coop, where's Seth? Is he okay?" Summer said hastily. She looked at her feet.

"Well, he's in the ICU, in a bad way. He's got a good chance of recovery they say, the bullet missed anything major, and just missed his liver. But, well he hasn't woke up yet…"

Marissa looked upset and Summer stared out of the window.

'At least it was only a dream...' she thought, feeling relieved. But he wasn't awake yet...

"I want to see him."

"Oh Summer, I'm so glad you're okay, sweetie." Kirsten hugged her, being careful not to hurt her. She wasn't badly hurt, just really sore.

There was a large crowd of her friends and family gathered in the small hospital room.

The nurses had frowned as they asked to enter but allowed it.

Sandy, Kirsten, Anna, Coop and Ryan were stood before her laden with balloons, flowers and teddy bears.

Sandy had told her that her Dad was getting on the next flight home from Italy where there'd been a cosmetic surgery conference.

"Thanks for coming everyone, it means a lot, especially you two newlyweds!" Summer smiled weakly.

Ryan slipped his hand around Marissa's waist.

"Summer, we couldn't stay away with you and Seth in hospital. What kind of friends would do that?" Ryan smiled.

Summer was happy but had the constant feeling of guilt in the pit of her stomach, if it wasn't for her, Seth and her would probably be doing normal couple stuff.

But they weren't.

He was in Intensive care and she was battered and bruised.

"When can I see him?" Summer asked quietly.

"Oh, maybe a little later, I asked the nurses. Don't worry honey, there's always someone with him, Hailey's there now."

Kirsten looked at Sandy her eyes welling up. Summer felt awful.

"Mrs Cohen I'm so sorry, this is all my fault, if it weren't for me then…" Summer started. Kirsten stopped her.

"Summer, this is not your fault. Don't blame yourself, it just, happened." Summer nodded but felt no better. A nurse appeared at the door.

"Ms Roberts, the doctor says you can see Mr Cohen now if you feel up to it." Summer's face lit up.

"Please, that would be great." The group looked in her direction as the nurse went to fetch a wheelchair.

"Sum, do you want me to come with you?" Marissa asked as Summer eased herself up.

"Thanks Coop, but I have to do this myself." The nurse reappeared and helped Summer into the chair.

The group watched as she was wheeled down the hallway, towards the ICU.

"I hope she'll be okay on her own," Marissa said, looking concerned.

"Coarse she will, Summer's a fighter." Ryan grinned at Marissa and took her hand.

Summer looked around herself.

The room was hazy, the blinds on the window drawn. It was crowded with machines and wires and in the centre of them was Seth.

He was laid on the large bed, his fingers plastered up, eyes closed and face covered in bruises. Summer shook as she was wheeled alongside the bed.

"I'll leave you alone, if you need anything, there's a button here." The nurse smiled and left the room.

Summer lifted her hands and wrapped them around Seth's. It wasn't like normal. His palm was lifeless and floppy.

She shook even more as she looked up at his battered face. Her bottom lip trembled as she fought for words.

"Oh, Cohen…" she stammered. "I…I'm so sorry… This is all m…my fault." She squeezed his hand.

"I…I should have listened to you. I was so…stupid. Bu…But I, I'll never forget… how you, you came to rescue me," Summer bit her lip and tried to forget about the large lump forming in her throat.

"I love you," she whispered kissing his hand softly.

She reached over and pushed the button. She couldn't do it anymore, she needed to go back to her room and bawl like she wanted to.

The nurse appeared in a matter of seconds and walked over, beginning to push her away.

Summer glanced back for one last time. Her mouth dropped open as Seth's eye's flickered open.

"Cohen!" Summer cried.

The nurse ran out of the room, calling for the doctor and Summer got out of the chair, wincing in pain.

She slowly made her way to Seth and cried into his hand.

"Oh, Seth! I'm so glad you're okay!" She stopped as he opened his mouth.

"I heard you," he whispered quietly. Summer smiled broadly as Seth managed to smile weakly.

Did you really think I'd kill off Seth! Nope he's very much alive! Thanks again for the reviews everybody and look out for the final chapters!
