Chapter Four
A few hours later, Ryan and Sandy had arrived. Summer was currently in surgery, and would be for the next hour.
Ryan and Seth went down to the hospital gift shop to buy Summer something. Unfortunatley, nothing at the shop would ever meet Summer's standerds. There was no Prada, or Marc Jacobs, or Chanel. What would Summer like? That's what Seth was wondering as he paced around Ryan. Ryan broke the silence.
"How about some magazines?"
"Summer? Reading? You've got to be kidding me."
"Ok. How about perfume?"
"If it's not brand name, she won't wear it."
Ryan was getting agiated by Seth's responses.
"How about candy? Girls love chocolate."
"Summer refuses to eat anything with too much sugar or carbs."
Ryan was beyond mad.
"How about it's the thought that counts?"
"It's Summer though. It has to be the perfect gift."
Ryan just shook his head.
Just then, one of the employees pushed in a fresh cart of roses.
"How about some roses?"
"Now where would I find those?"
Then Seth turned around.
"You're a genius, Ryan! No wonder you get all A's!"
Seth ran up to the cart and bought two dozen roses.
"She's gonna love me!"
As the boys were downstairs, Marissa was waiting for the surgery to be over with. She couldn't imagine Summer's pain. And she thought her life was bad! Even though Julie Cooper was her mom, at least Marissa didn't have any life-threatening things in her life. Summer wouldn't be able to do...She couldn't do anything!
ONE HOUR LATER...
Summer had finally woken up. She didn't know where she was, but slowly it was coming back to her. Marissa was there. Chino and Cohen were staring at her. Suddenly it occured to her. She was just in surgery. The pain was soaring by the second. She looked around, at all the people who care for her. It occured to her, that for the next few months, her life wouldn't be the same.
Would it ever be?
