Revealing Too Much
Okay so I know last chapter was a 'cliffhanger', but I hope you all like the story. Like I said before lots of ideas! The last chapter didn't really get much/any reviews…Reviews usually tell me if I'm doing a good job or not.
Part Three: Not Myself
"Cohen, what are you doing here?" Summer asked getting up from the couch.
"Summer, please we need to talk." He responded walking into the room.
"I'm gonna go clean up." Alex said walking out of the office, and shutting the door behind her. Her mind was whirling why was Seth here? Then she remembered Seth and Summer were a couple, they were one of those couples that were always together.
Shaking her head to clear her thoughts, Alex took a rag and started to wipe up the bar's countertop.
"Hey, Alex your looking hott." The spiky haired guy said, looking her up and down.
"Thanks Jake, you can go home now." She replied laughing.
"Whenever you wanna take me up on that offer to go out, you know what to do." He said winking at her, and walking off to get his stuff.
Inside Alex's office, both Seth and Summer hadn't moved. He looked at her pleading with her to take him back. It had only been a few hours but he ached to hold her in his arms. She was his Summer, they belonged together at least he thought they belonged together.
"Cohen, when I said I needed a break I meant it." Summer said crossing her arms across her chest.
"I know Summer, I know. You don't have to tell me twice. I just really, I can't live without you. We've been through so much. I love you."
"Seth, stop. You can't do this."
"Do what Summer? You're the one that wants the break!" His voice was rising, the pain she inflicted upon him was becoming more evident.
"I can't do this right now. I told you that before." Her voice remained calm, she knew she had to keep her composure.
"Why are you even doing this?" His eyes looked as if he were on the verge of tears, "What did I do wrong?" the last words came out in a whisper.
Summer uncrossed her arms, and rubbed her forehead, "You didn't do anything wrong. It's me, Seth. I don't know what I should say to make you understand. If you love me as much as you say you do, then you'd give me this." She said sighing aloud.
"You know if you loved me at all, you wouldn't put me through this." He stated simply looking even more hurt.
"Your acting as if I said I wanted to breakup with you, I said I wanted a break. But maybe we should just skip to the breakup part." Summer was getting more furious by the second. Seth was shocked, he had intended to end the whole break, but instead had ensued a breakup.
"No…come on I'm sorry. You want a break I'll give you a break."
"Look, if we're supposed to be together we'll be together."
"We are supposed to be together." Tears were threatening to fall from both of their eyes.
"Seth, just go. Please." Summer crossed her arms again, swallowing the large lump in her throat.
Summer walked past Seth, throwing the door open and heading straight for the bar. She took a seat, while Alex watched her nervously.
"Um do you want something to drink?" Alex asked setting the rag on the counter.
"Can I get a mount- I mean a Dr. Pepper?"
"Yeah sure." Alex said reaching under the counter to grab a glass, she began filling the glass with ice, then filled it with the carbonated drink and set it in front of Summer. Alex noted the fact that Summer had almost asked for a Mountain Dew, which was Seth's favorite drink.
Summer took a few sips, and set the glass down shakily. A few moments later Seth walked out of Alex's office, looking flustered, he didn't utter a goodbye just walked straight towards the exit not looking back.
"I take it that didn't go well?" Alex asked, grabbing the discarded rag and wiping the counter again.
"You can say that."
"Do you want to talk about it?"
"There's not really anything to tell, sometimes I don't feel like myself. Like I used to be this person who just I can't even explain it. I feel like I'm changing for the better right now, but all the things I've done don't seem to be showing everyone else that." Summer picked the glass up again and took another sip, setting it down she looked at Alex expectantly. Alex didn't say anything because she didn't know what she was supposed to say or expected to say.
Alex drummed her fingers on the countertop, trying to clear her mind of thoughts regarding Summer, who was sitting right in front of her.
"What're you thinking about?" Summer asked innocently.
"Nothing" Alex drew out, snapping out her daze.
"Doesn't seem like nothing." Summer said giving her a small smile, Summer had a suspicion of what was on Alex's mind but kept her mouth shut.
"It's kind of a lost cause, I guess. I don't really know." Alex replied looking down.
"Oh.." Summer said frowning slightly.
Summer shifted in her seat, unsure of what her next words should be. She had never really been that bold with anyone before and it didn't help that Alex didn't really respond to any of it. Little did Summer know that Alex was just as nervous as she was, she couldn't decide on if she should attempt to flirt back because she didn't know if Summer was being serious or if she was just playing around.
