"Ryan?… Buddy I need to talk to you." Seth yelled as he tapped strongly against the glass doors of the pool house. The was no answer.
"Ryan, Come on man. It's me; I need to talk to you. Summer and I have got big news that you have to know or she will kill me. Don't you remember her rage-blackouts and the time she punched Holly? That was a great day don't you think?" Again, no answer.
"Ryan!" Seth was loosing his patience now, he knew that there was tension between him and Summer already and that telling Ryan would be the only thing to fix it. Seth sighed deeply in anger whilst he tried opening the door to the pool-house.
"The door was always open Seth, why didn't you try it?" He mumbled to himself. It wouldn't be the first time we noticed he has a mumbling problem. Seth looked around the pool-house and Ryan was no where in sight. Seth was confused.
"Ryan?" Seth asked as he walked towards the extra rooms at the back of the pool house.
"Dude? You here?" Seth was worried. He knew (or at least he thought) that Ryan was home. He examined the pool house one more time, just to double check. Still, no Ryan. Seth walked out of the pool house and down the stairs heading to the kitchen. Kirsten was pouring some coffee into the green mug that is so often used in the Cohen residence.
"Hey mom, do you know where Ryan is?" Seth asked as he noticed the skinny, blonde woman sipping coffee.
"Yeah he went out to get Chinese. Do you want to invite Summer for dinner, I haven't spoken to her in a while how is she?" Kirsten asked. Seth thought whether to invite Summer to dinner, he was thinking that maybe the best thing for them was for him I to invite her and tell the whole family at 'family dinner'. But then he thought of all the pressure that it would cause, and the reaction on Ryan's face. When Summer sees him she'll know he lied to her beforehand. Seth didn't know what to choose.
"Summer's doing fine and….Yes, she will be coming to dinner… I mean if that's okay with you?"
-"Of course!" Kirsten said. Seth smiled and quickly left the kitchen, heading for his bedroom which to his surprise, was open. The door was left ajar with Seth's big 'Rooney' poster in sight. He sidled into the room and searched inside. On top of his bed lay Summer. She was drenched in tears, with suitcases and bags surrounding her. Clenched in her hands were Captain Oats and Princess Sparkle.
"Summer?" Seth asked. He looked around and noticed everything, making him even more confused than as to why Summer was in his room. He looked at her and felt huge sympathy, even thought he had no idea why she was crying. Summer's head lifted up from Seth's wet pillow and gave a fake smile, but that didn't help. Actually it made her cry more.
"What's wrong?" Seth asked, as he put his arm around Summer's shoulder and sat down on his damp bed.
"I told him."
-"Told who what?"
-"My dad… I told him about the engagement,"
-"You did what!" Seth yelled. His arm left Summer's shoulder as he was shocked as to the statement she let out to her father. He had no idea why Summer would have done that without telling him first to check if it was okay. Seth knew that he wasn't helping her. He could tell that she was extremely emotional and vulnerable, and that it's times like these when a girl needs her boyfriend the most. So he placed his arm back on her shoulder and smiled.
"So…?"
-"He's not happy Seth. He kicked me out."
-"WHAT!" Summer started crying even more.
"He kicked you out?… Like out the house? Out forever?" Seth asked, Summer had already made it clear, he was just still in shock.
"Uh-huh, I don't know whether it's forever but, he told me that I was too young to make huge decisions like this without thinking through it properly and that I needed to be more mature and responsible." Summer was finding it hard to breathe. Explaining it just brought the whole experience back which caused her to crying hysterically.
"It's okay, It's okay." Seth repeated. He hugged Summer and rubbed her back.
"You'll be fine right? You've got me." Seth asked. Summer wiped her tears and smiled.
"Yeah, I have." She said happily. Wiping tears from her eyes, that soon got replace by new shred tears. Seth couldn't help but understand that Dr. Roberts was right; that they rushed into it. He couldn't help but blame himself considering he was the one who proposed.
"How about I even the play field?" Seth asked, finally coming to his senses.
"What do you mean?" Summer looked confused but at least her breathing was under control now.
"Come to family dinner tonight. I'll tell everyone." Seth stated. He wasn't nervous this time. He had a great feeling inside of him.
"Are you sure you're ready to do that? I mean telling Kirsten and Sandy? I don't want them to do the same as what my dad did." Summer said, it was so sweet how she was being so thoughtful of her boyfriend despite everything he's done to her.
"Well, if there not okay then… who cares? We have each other right?… We can hitchhike to Canada or to the TJ thing again." Summer laughed.
"Are you really willing to do that for me?" she asked, as she now saw the guy she fell in love with. Seth hesitated, having one small voice inside of him telling him not to do it. But he couldn't help but fight it. For some reason he could really feel his strong love for Summer.
"I would do anything for you." Summer smiled and then pulled Cohen's chin towards her so that they could have a long, tender, loving kiss; a lot similar to the time when they were flipping through the yearbook and established the fact that no one ever spoke to Seth.
"I love you." Seth said. Summer jumped up.
"That's the first time you've said that to me without trying to win me over."
-"No it isn't, I say I love you all the time."
-"Yeah, but I have to say it first."
-"Okay you win," The atmosphere in Seth's bedroom was like a completely green aura. It was just so peaceful. It was just…so happy and filled with love that even as a writer you struggle to describe it.
"So are you ready for the big dinner?" Seth asked, actually seeming excited. He wasn't nervous at all. Summer smiled and nodded, everything was backwards. Seth wasn't nervous but Summer was. They both stood up from the bed holding hands and walking slowly out of Seth's bedroom. Summer still trying to control her crying and Seth trying to bot make his smile seem too obvious. Seth kissed her hand and noticed it was her left one…with no ring on it.
