Thank you so much everyone for the great reviews! It really makes me want to write more when I receive them, no matter if they're positive or not. I'm sorry for the long update once again. So please enjoy this new chapter and R&R

As she slid her key into the lock and opened the door slowly Summer was met with a wave of melancholy. Old sheets covered furniture, boxes were stacked high. Everything seemed dead. Her eyes swept the room looking for anything that could comfort her as she made this leap from into the unknown.

Summer got started right way. She dipped her paintbrush into the creamy yellow and watched as the extra paint dripped back into the can making small little patters. She stood looking at her bedroom wall. Minutes passed. The clock ticked, the wind out side hollered but there was silence in the apartment. The phone rang off in the distance but she remained where she was. The wall toward over summer's petite body. " I am afraid of a wall." Saying this out loud made her laugh. She repeated it and noticed how childish her fear was. She raised her brush, still laughing, and painted a strip of yellow onto the gritty wall.

"This is it, this is the beginning." She drew another strip, then another. Smiling she re-dipped her paintbrush. "This is good." Soon she was lost in her own world of painting. Although she new that she had bigger issues to face, for right now she was content with just painting.

Hours latter she resurfaced for dinner. As she reached for the phone to call her favourite Thai restaurant she noticed that the red message button was blinking. The caller Id read Seth's cell phone number. She listened to the message, her heart beating.

"Hey summer, I was really hoping I'd get you. Well I've decided to stay an extra few days. When I get back though we have to talk. Sum? We both know we have to talk... Bye"

She sighed, she knew this was coming talking to Seth was something inevitable, but know she knew she could face him.
