Ch.11
Sara laughed as Sean led her through the dark cemetery.
"Sean, don't be stupid...we cant be out like this, what if someone see's us?"
"Baby, it's like, 4 in the morning...and we're at a cemetery...I think we're gonna be ok."
She smiled.
"I'm tired, and I want to go to bed. Let's just go find a hotel, we can come back here in the morning."
He shook his head.
"We have to leave the bait Sara...if we leave you're necklace by his grave, then Summer is going to know we're here...she's going to try and find us and thats when we get her."
"Why don't we just go to the Cohens and grab her if you want her that much?" Sara asked angrily. "What, was she not good enough for you the first time? You want her all over again?"
Sean sighed.
"You know that's not what I meant."
"Don't act like you didn't like it Sean," she said. "I was there remember? I saw everything. You we're definitely having a good time."
He kept walking.
"I don't have time for you being a bitch." he said under his breath.
She scoffed.
"THAT"S IT!" she yelled. She grabbed the keys from his hand. "I'm leaving. Come find me when you're done being an ass."
"Sara, come on..."
"Leave me alone," she stormed off.
"Dammit!" he kicked the dirt underneath him. Now what was he going to do?
Suddenly, he heard a voice.
"Sara? Is that you?"
He slowly walked towards the noise and froze.
"Well what do you know," he whispered, a coy smile stretching across his face.
"If it isn't my little Summer..."
Summer held Seth's hand as she touched the headstone in front of her.
"I am so sorry," she said.
Seth lowered his head.
"I never should have believed those things daddy. I knew you would never hurt our family like that. It was all Sara, and I know that now."
Seth looked around. The gun in pocket made him nervous...too much power. He felt uneasy.
"And I don't hate you," Summer said. "I'm sorry I said that, I didn't mean it."
"Summer," Seth said gently. "We should probably be goin soon."
She nodded. "Ok."
She kissed her hand and placed it back on the grave.
"Goodnight Daddy."
Seth kissed the top of her head. "Come on...we can come back tomorrow if you want to."
She smiled and linked her arm around his.
"Lets go home."
Sean watched them as they began to walk away.
"Maybe Sara was right," he said to himself. "God, she's hot."
He laughed.
"I know Sara wanted to be here for this...but why wait?" He slowly started walking up behind them...
"I don't get how you could be so stupid?"
Ryan and Marissa had run into the house to get Kirsten and Sandy.
"I'm sorry Sandy."
"A gun? Ryan, how many times do I have to tell you about kids your age, who are stupid enough to mess around with those things?"
"I brought it with me from Chino. Old habits die hard Sandy."
"That's bull and you know it."
"Sandy," Kirsten interrupted. "This isnt the time to be arguing about this. Seth and Summer are out there, somewhere, and they could be in serious trouble."
Sandy sighed.
"We are NOT finished with this conversation Ryan, so you understand me?"
Ryan nodded and bowed his head. "I'm sorry."
Marissa walked into the room.
"The police are on their way." she said. "Where do you think they could be?"
"I don't even wanna think about what he's doing with that gun," Sandy muttered.
"Should we go look for them?" Ryan asked.
"Don't even think about it," Sandy said sharply. "I've already got one son missing...I don't need my other son to join him." he placed a hand on Ryan's shoulder.
"Sandy..." Ryan didn't know what to say.
"I know Ryan," he said. "I know."
Seth saw the car and felt an instant relief wash over him.
He looked over and saw Summer yawning.
"Let's go back to the house...get back into our pajamas, grab a couple blankets, get all snuggled up under the covers..."
She laughed.
"I think that sounds wonderful."
He smiled. Suddenly, he saw something out of the corner of his eye.
"SETH!"
He turned around only to see a fist come straight towards his face. It hit, the impact knocking him to the ground.
Summer screamed when she saw him.
"Oh my god"
"Hello Summer," he said. "Remember me."
She bent down to Seth who was barely moving.
"Seth come on," she said trying to lift him up.
Sean walked toward her.
She cried.
"Seth, come on we have to go!"
He stirred.
Sean walked up behind her and pulled her up.
"Let go of me!" she screamed.
She tried to punch him, but he grabbed her arm, squeezing it tight. She whimpered in pain.
"You like it rough, don't ya?" he asked giving her a smile. "Let's go see what kind of fun we can have."
Summer felt her knees go week.
"Please don't," she hiccupped. "Please..."
He put his hand over her mouth.
"You're gonna have to be a little quieter if you don't want me to hurt you." He leaned in and kissed her cheek.
"Let her go!"
They both jerked around to see Seth standing here, bleeding.
"Seth!" Summer yelled.
"Let go of her."
"You want me to let go?" Sean teased. "Make me."
Seth reached into his pocket, pulling out the gun.
He pointed it straight at Sean.
Summer's eyes grew wide.
Sean pulled Summer close.
"You wouldn't shoot me. You wouldn't risk hurting your little girlfriend here."
Seth kept pointing it.
"I swear to God I'll shoot...let her go."
Sean looked at him without blinking.
Suddenly, he pushed Summer aside. She fell to the ground as he charged at Seth, tackling him to the ground.
"Get off of him!" Summer screamed.
Sean was on top of him, trying to grab the gun. Seth was kicking him, trying to get away.
Sean punched him, knocking the gun out of Seth's hand. The both reached for it, grabbing it.
"Don't hurt him!"
She couldn't see who had the gun.
BANG
She jumped back screaming.
Neither of them moved. They were both just laying there on the ground. Suddenly, Sean stood up.
"Holy shit," he whispered.
Seth was still on the ground, a bright red spot quickly appearing on his shirt.
"SETH!" Summer cried running over to him. She knelt down next to him. "NO, no oh my god."
Seth coughed.
"Summer..."
She sobbed.
"You're going to be ok...it's ok, just hold on." She took of her coat and placed it over his stomach, trying to stop the bleeding.
Sean was frozen.
Summer reached into her coat pocket and pulled out her cell phone.
"What are you doing?" Sean asked.
She didn't answer him. She dialed 911.
"Hello? I need an ambulance, my boyfriend is hurt..."
"Hang it up," Sean said.
"We're at David's Cemetery..."
"HANG UP THE PHONE!" Sean yelled running at her and yanking it out of her hand.
Summer looked back down at Seth.
"Stay with me Cohen, just hold on for a few more minutes. Please, don't close your eyes..."
Seth could feel his eyes growing heavy.
Sean ran his fingers through his hair. He was going down for this, he knew he was.
Summer touched Seth's forehead. She could tell his breathing was growing shallow.
"Seth, look at me. Come on, just stay focused. I'm right here."
"I'm ...sorry Summer."
She looked at him, tears in her eyes.
"Shhh don't talk. Just keep looking at me."
She could here the sirens in the distance.
"Hear that Cohen? They're almost here..."
Sean looked around.
"Let's go."
She looked at him.
"I'm not going anywhere."
"Oh yes you are. I'm not going to let you rat me out to the cops."
He grabbed her and pulled her up.
"Stop! I need to be here with him!"
He struggled with her as she tried to break free.
"Let me go!"
Sean slapped her.
"Just shut up alright!"
Summer was dazed. He picked her up, throwing her over his shoulders, and ran off.
Seth was paralyzed. He saw Sean carrying her away, but he couldn't move. His teeth chattered as he felt his body shutting down.
A tear rolled out of the corner of his eye.
"Summer..."
His eyes closed shut.
