Thank you so much everybody for the awesome reviews!

Keep them coming and I'll update faster, promise.

When you say nothing at all

The waiting was unbearable. The silence around you as your thoughts was anything but quiet and peaceful. The strange feeling in your stomach and to not be able to sit still. To hear the clock tick and everything around you being so far away, yet so near. To feel like the most lonely person in the world and still be surrounded by people all the time.

After what seemed to have been a life time the door opened and Sandy walked up to them; alone this time. He had a worried facial expression and he seemed very calm as he slowly made his way over to the waiting room.

"So? Was it her? Was it Summer?" Seth stood up immediately. Mixtures of feelings hit him; fear, hope, love, sadness, happiness. Most of all fear. He swallowed and he knew that if it was bad news he would start to cry. He had a huge lump in his throat and he was dangerously close to a crying session.

Ryan and Jimmy stood up too; also nervous.

"Summer's here; I saw her." Sandy said though he didn't smile which only could mean that there were bad news too. He continued suddenly. "She's hurt and not conscious." He then stopped, letting the news sink in. They all stood quietly, obviously deep in their thoughts; the same thoughts about Summer.

"I'll call Kirsten and Marissa." Jimmy said and excused himself.

"Can I see her?" Seth quietly asked, not hysterical or anything like Sandy had though his son would be. He seemed to get the seriousness. Ryan put a comforting hand on his shoulder.

"I'm not sure yet son. The doctor is coming here soon. He'll explain her condition and your questions will be answered. Here he's coming." The doctor from before walked in a determined pace towards them.

"Dr. Donaldson."

"Hello again." He friendly gave Ryan and Seth a nod. "Mr. Cohen told me about Summer and as far as I understood, her father is out of reach. Before we give her more surgery or hard medications, he has to give us permission. Though fortunately I don't think Summer will need more of that. She's injured and it was very critical for a while. But now she's stabile and she's going to be okay." The doctor smiled and gave Sandy a few papers.

"I'll just go talk to the doctor for a while. Papers, you know." Sandy excused himself and left in the waiting room were only Ryan and Seth.

"I need to sit down for a little bit." Seth slowly sat down on a couch, taking his head in his hands. Ryan sat down next to him.

"You okay man?" Seth just shook his head and Ryan could see he was really upset or just emotional. Seth sniffled and dug his head deeper into his hands. Ryan, not sure what to do, put his arm on Seth's arm.

He'd just found out that his girlfriend, Summer, was okay. Though she wasn't okay; she was alive but not okay. She'd been hit and alone, they didn't even know what she'd been through. He figured that it was too much to take. He would be a wreck if something like this happened to Marissa too.

"Guys…" Jimmy appeared in the waiting room with some coffee in his hands. He noticed Seth so carefully sat down in front of them. "How are you doing Seth?" His voice was full of pity and maybe some understanding too; but anyway he kept talking, not waiting for an answer from Seth.

"I called Kirsten and she and Marissa are on their way. They said that they got contact with Neil but they're going to call him from here."

"That's good. The doctor said something about Neil has to be here before any important decisions will be made." Ryan had now replaced his hand in his lap and jimmy offered him some coffee.

"How is she?" he asked gently as Ryan offered Seth some coffee too. He didn't seem to want any though.

"She's stable but we don't know any specifically about her condition. Sandy knows though, I believe. He went to talk to the doctor."

Ryan's words left them with silence again. A silence they'd discovered too many times; a silence filled with nothing but emptiness.

"Hey everybody! Great, some coffee Jimmy, just what I needed." Sandy took a sip of the coffee, which was a little cold by now. "Listen, the doctor said that we can see Summer later, hopefully tomorrow. Jimmy, did you call home?"

"Yeah, they're on their way and they got contact with Neil; he's coming home. We were going to call him from the hospital though; he doesn't know anything about her. They just told him that Summer is missing, kidnapped."

"He must have gotten a shock. Where was he?"

" Belgium. He's taken the first flight home. I can't even imagine how he must be feeling. I mean, Summer kidnapped is bad enough but not being able to be here with her?"

"Yeah, listen kids, we're not gonna be able to see her tonight. Why don't you go get some sleep at the hotel?"

"I want to stay here; at least I get to be in the same building. But why can't I see her? She's unconscious and you got to see her dad."

"I know you do Seth but it's not up to us. You'll get to see her tomorrow, or today I guess since it's passed three. You need some sleep. We'll call if anything happens though the doctor said that she'll probably continue to be unconscious for a few days. She lost a lot of oxygen and her lungs need their rest."

"But I want to see her dad. How does she look? Do we know what happened to her? How did she get here?" Seth had given up the understanding and quiet thinking thing. Now he wanted answers and actions.

"A woman found her in an apartment when she was looking for her cat. Apparently the door wasn't closed and the cat had sneaked inside. Summer was barely breathing but got to the hospital in time. And she's gonna be fine Seth. She's got a lot of bruises and she's got injuries like broken ribs though she's tuff and she'll be all right."

"Yeah, she's strong." Seth sadly said realising that there was nothing he could do here.

"Come on man." Ryan poked him in the arm and they stood up and began to leave.

"Maybe someone else is coming over too; Marissa." Sandy said and the two boys turned around.

"If you see her again, Summer, can you tell her I love her?"

"I'll tell her that Seth though I'm sure she knows. We'll call if something happens."

"Try to get some sleep." Jimmy said, again the last words.

"You think he'll be okay?" he said as they had left and turned towards sandy.

"Yeah though I hate to see him this way; Seth's always been the happy type."

"He really loves her."

"Yeah, he does. A lot."

I love them and if I don't get any reviews I won't update.
