The Summer- chapter 7

Disclaimer: read the first chapter…I don't feel like typing it again….

A/N: I got some good reviews….there weren't as many as I would've liked but, what can I do…

It was about 9am when Ryan got home. The Cohen's were in the kitchen, eating their bagels and drinking their coffee.

"Sandy, look at that, he's just getting home now. He can't keep doing this; it's not a very good thing. What kind of parents are we if we let this happen. He can't stay out all night," Kirsten observed.

Ryan then walked into the house, looking for some breakfast.

"Good morning guys," he said as if he didn't just come home.

"Sandy, you talk to him," she whispered, "I'm going to go get ready for work," she announced, leaving the room.

"Ryan, I know you and Summer are, um, are, you know, um, doing what you do. But, we think that maybe you shouldn't be staying out all night and coming home at 9 in the morning. Maybe you should just not do it for awhile, you know, just date, don't do…that," Sandy said, clearly uncomfortable with the situation.

"Oh, sorry, I won't, I didn't mean to cause problems. Are you okay, you look a little pale," Ryan apologized back, "you don't have to worry, my mom gave me the speech when I was 10 cause if she didn't do it then, then I would never have gotten it, you know with my dad gone and all."

"oh, right, of cause you got the speech, I wasn't even thinking of that. I'm though, just a tinny bit uncomfortable with this. I'm going to go check on Seth. I'll see you later." Sandy said, and scurried out of the room.

Meanwhile, upstairs, Seth was just sneaking into his window, when he tripped and fell through it.

"Ow, damn that hurt," Seth complained. The there was a knock at the door. "Oh, shit, um, hold on a minute, wait, one second, I'm coming, hold on, don't open that door," he said frantically trying to make it look like he just woke up, taking off his shirt and pants, leaving him in boxers and an undershirt. (AN: just drooling thinking about it) "Come in."

"hey, kid, when did you get home, it must have been pretty late," Sandy asked, "you weren't here when I checked before I went to sleep at 12."

Busted "oh, yea, I was with Marissa, she needed help with something," Seth explained trying not to sound too guilty.

"Oh, that's nice, I'm glad you are hanging out with her more, now that Jimmy's gone and all, she needs friends that she can trust," Sandy said, "okay, I'm going to go see if your mother need's help."

Downstairs, Ryan was just finishing his breakfast, when his phone rang.

"Hello?" Ryan asked, "hey, no I'm fine, yea last night was great, yea, I can meet you later, no it's fine, I kind of got a talk from Sandy, no it's okay, you don't have to explain anything to them, Summer, stop, I'll call you later, I gotta go, Seth's coming, yea I will, okay I love you too, okay, bye," he said hanging up the phone.

Seth's POV

So he loves her, crap, this might be harder than I thought, damn. I've gotta go call Marissa, and let her know this is going to be difficult, and we're going to have to bring out the big guns. I don't care how they feel about each other, they don't belong together, Ryan belongs to Marissa, and Summer belongs to me. Okay, me, not Ryan, not Mr. I brood 24/7, I don't brood, I make pleasant conversation, what does he do, nothing, he sits there and broods, Jackass….

Regular POV

"Hey Ryan, where were you last night, didn't see you come home," Seth asked, clearly knowing where he was.

"Nowhere, I was just out, look there's something I have to talk to you about, it's really important, and it can't wait much longer," Ryan explains, "I'm becoming really good friends with…"

"let me guess Ryan, Summer? I heard your little phone conversation, I know that you're dating, and that you Love her," he spits out, venomously.

"you heard that? Seth I'm sorry, okay, you were gone, she was lonely, we became friends, and then things just happened…I'm sorry if it hurts," Ryan tried to explain.

"No Ryan, you were supposed to be in Chino with your kid, what happened there, did you realize that Summer was alone, since I was gone, and that it was the perfect time to make your move. You know what, you're not my brother, you're not even my friend, and I can't stand you anymore."

"You know what Seth, I don't want to be your brother, you know how touchy that subject is with me, and you know that, you want to know why I came back Seth, do you. Because Theresa had a miscarriage, and she died, okay, she's gone, and I couldn't stay there anymore, so I came back. I came back and my friend was gone, you were gone Seth and all you left was a note, you were nothing anymore, nothing. Summer saw me hurting and I saw her, we were both hurt Seth, both of us, we started hanging out, and things escalated, but I take it you didn't find out from the phone conversation did you, Marissa told you didn't she? Didn't she Seth" Ryan screamed.

"Yea," Seth Said weakly and in shock.

"You know what, I don't even want to be here anymore, maybe this way, you can actually be a family again, god knows, I don't want any part of it anymore," Ryan said, walking out of the kitchen, into the pool house, packing some stuff, and taking off in the car, while Seth stood there in shock.

Sandy and Kirsten both came downstairs, just barely missing all the action.

"Seth, what's wrong honey, where's Ryan? I thought maybe we could all do something today, you know, like actually be a family…Seth are you okay?" Kirsten wondered.

"He's gone…" Seth trailed off, collapsing onto the floor, "I drove him away."

Kirsten and Sandy just stood there, too shocked to say anything, but both knew, why Seth was saying what he was…Summer.

Knock, knock

The door open's…

"Hey, can I come in. I have nowhere else to go," Ryan said, very unlike himself.

"Yeah sure, you want to tell me what happened?" The person asked.

"not right now, I just want to sleep some more, I really didn't get much last night."

"yea, lets go, it's going to be okay Ryan, you believe that right," they explained.

"Right now, I don't know what to believe Summer," Ryan said, falling to the ground behind the door.

AN: Okay how was that…I know there wasn't much Ry/Su action, but I'll get there…I don't really remember what I did with Theresa, so I just said that, that happened,

Now, since you all love me, so much, go and press that pretty purple button that says 'GO' cause you all know that you want to review it.
