When you say nothing at all
Seth sank down to the floor, his head in his hands. What should he do? What could he do? His beautiful Summer was being hurt and there was nothing he could do about it.
The anger and feeling of being helpless filled him as he sat on the floor. He wasn't even sure that she would be alright, he wasn't sure that he would see her again. He had to do something. Now!
Seth got up and ran downstairs.
"Dad! Ryan! Mom! Anybody!" he yelled as he ran around and almost panicked as he didn't find them sitting on the couch. Sandy, Kirsten, Ryan and Jimmy came running into the room wondering what was going on.
"What's wrong son?" Sandy asked with concern in his voice.
"It's…..it's Summer." Seth finally let out after a moment of silent. He sat down at the sofa and the others did so too.
"What Seth? Is something wrong with Summer?" Sandy said as they all started to get worried.
"She's hurt." he replied and his voice broke a little. Seth then started to cry.
"Honey." Kirsten took him in her arms looking very scared. Even though Seth was a little girly and cried at movies sometimes they all got surprised that he broke down in front of them and that he actually let his mother hug him.
"Seth, where is Summer?" Sandy asked. Ryan and Jimmy sat quietly at the sofa next to Kirsten, Sandy and Seth, thinking of what could have happened. To Jimmy, Summer was closer than anyone would think; she was Marissa's best friend and he had known her for her whole life. Seth was also close to him; he was the son of his best and oldest friends and they'd been neighbours for a very long time.
Ryan and Seth were very close; they were brothers and best friends. He knew how deep Seth's feelings were for Summer. He loved her too. She was one of the fab four.
"I don't know. She called me. She wasn't at school. She's hurt and in pain. She's scared. We have to help her." That was what Seth could say between hiccupping. The words came unstoppably and were a mixture of his rambling and someone in shock.
"Did she tell you how she got hurt Seth?"
"Yeah, there was this guy. Ahhhh." Seth tored his hair in anger.
"What man?" Kirsten asked.
"I don't know, I talked to him and he hurt her. She's in so much pain and her last words were 'hurry Cohen'. He also said something about her having trouble breathing. What if she's not gonna make it? What if he kills her?"
"We're not gonna let him do that. I'll go call the police."
"NO!" Seth yelled and jumped up. "You cannot call the police! He will kill her if you do."
"Calm down Seth. Did he threat to kill her if you contacted the police?"
"Pretty much, he said that it would be a shame to destroy something as beautiful as Summer. Seth then sank down to the couch again and Kirsten put a hand on his knee.
"We'll find her honey, don't worry."
"How can I not worry? Summer's everything to me; I love her so much."
"I know you do and so does Summer."
"Let's try to contact the kidnapper. Where's your phone Seth?" Seth gave his cell to Sandy without a word.
"I'll go ask my dear friend Ronald to search the call and don't worry; I promise not to tell him."
"I'll go with you." Jimmy said and gave Seth a squeeze on his shoulder before they left.

After an hour and a half of waiting Seth couldn't handle it anymore. He started to walk around the pool house where he and Ryan were. Sandy and Jimmy still hadn't called or got back. Kirsten was inside and probably being a mess, cleaning the kitchen.
"Let's do something; that will make time go faster. What about a little play station, a swim in the pool, a comic?" Ryan said, apparently noticing Seth's impatientment.
"I can't do anything! Summer's kidnapped. I don't even know if she's alive. Damn!" Seth screamed and walked out of the pool house, walking straight into Kirsten.
"Sandy called."
