Thank you so much for all the reviews; that is really the reson that I'm posting this chapter this soon.
I hope you'll like and review.
When you say nothing at all
"Sandy!" Kirsten hurried up to her husband and Jimmy where they sat in a sofa at the hospital. It had only been a little while since Seth and Ryan had left. Marissa came right behind Kirsten, looking close to tears.
"Hey you two!" Sandy hugged Kirsten while Jimmy went to hug his daughter.
"Were are the boys?"
"They went to the hotel; we're not allowed to see Summer anyway and I thought it would be good for them to get out of here."
"Are they okay?"
"Yeah, I think, though Seth's really upset. It was only me that was allowed to see Summer."
"I bet he's upset; you want to go to the hotal as well Marissa?"
"I'll take you kiddo; I'll check on the boys too." Jimmy said. "You should call Neil."
"Yeah, you can stay at the hotel as well if you want to. Kirsten, do you want to stay or go you too?"
"I'll stay with you, if you don't want to sleep you too."
"No, I'll stay here with Summer. She needs someone to be here with her I believe." They all nodded, knowing that even though she wasn't awake she needed a person to be here, someone she recognised. Neil would want somebody to be with his daughter too.
"You'll stay here then?" Jimmy asked and put his arm round Marissa.
"Yeah, I think so. But you should go. Make sure to see if Seth's okay, will you?"
"Of course."
"When can we see Summer?"Marissa spoke up for the first time; her best friend was in a hospital bed. She was used to be that person; all bad stuff always happened to her, not Summer.
"We're not sure yet, later today. But we'll call and we probably have to wait for Neil to come."
"Yeah, we should go now."
"Sure dad." Jimmy and Marissa went out of the waiting room/reception and left Sandy and Kirsten on their own.
"So, who's gonna call Neil? What are we gonna say to him? I can't believe how hard this must be for him." Kirsten sighed and Sandy pulled her into a hug. Even though Summer wasn't their daughter she was still family. Even when she wasn't Seth's girlfriend she'd been over and they'd heard about her all Seth's life, literally.
"How's Seth?"
"Not so good though I think he understands."
"You want me to call Neilhoney?" Sandy took her hand and they went toward the phones.
"Yeah, the number's here somewhere." She fumbled in her purse and finally found a peace of paper with Neil's number on.
"Thanks." Sandy dialled the number and held the phone to his ear. Kirsten sat next to him, listening.
"Hey, Sandy Cohen...Yes, we're at a hospital now...She's okay, well not okay but her condition is stabile...Yeah, I will...I'll tell her...six...okay...we'll be there...and don't worry, she's in good hands...I know. I understand that it's hard...yeah, I'll make someone go get it...sure...you're welcome, but it's nothing. Summer's seth's girlfriend and we all care about her...yes...bye." He put the phone down and turned to Kirsten.
"What'd he say?"
"He's really worried and he's on his way, will be at the airport at six tonight. We'll go get him there. He also wanted us to get her some stuff; he said that Seth or Marissa would know what to bring. And he said thanks."
"Itmust be so terrible to not be able to be here with her."
"Yeah, but she'll be okay. Summer's a strong girl."

Back at the hotel Ryan and Seth had finally fallen asleep. Jimmy and Marissa didn't dare to wake them up since they knew how hard it would be for them to fall asleep again. Marissa looked at the two of them. Ryan slept soundly on one bed in his clothes. He looked really cute and Marissa couldn't resiste to give him a kiss. She gently bent over him and kissed his hair.
Seth lay on the other bed in a ball. He, too, had his clothes on. On the contrary to Ryan he was totally quiet. He hugged a pillow close to his chest; it reminded Marissa of one time when she'd found Seth and Summer sleeping in Summer's room. He had practically had his whole body round her and she'd been covered by him. It was like he was a shelf or something.
They were cute together. Just the two of them could look adorable when they slept like that. Usuallt she would have laughed but instead she found herself lookink at them in awe. They were so connected and happy with each other. No couple could be more perfect; she knew how much they loved one other too. Summer had been very shy about it in the beginning, which had been weird because Summer was never shy. She'd blush the instant they talked about Seth and she wouldn't admit that she loved him, even like him in the beginning.
Even though she liked to tease them and make fun of them sometimes because they were so in love and looked so much fun, she didn't mean any of it. She was happy for them both. She got happy and most of the time she would smile at the twosome.
"I'm sorry Seth." She said and kissed his cheek, stroking his dark curls. The ones that Summer loved so much. Sadness filled her as she thought about them, not being able to be with each other. Seth had loved Summer for so many years and she knew how precious she was for him. And he couldn't even see her.

Seth opened his eyes and looked around. He didn't recognise the room. He saw Ryan and Marissa sleeping on the bed next to his. He reached for his girlfriend but no one was there. Summer? He sat up and the memory came back. She was in the hospital. Why was he sleeping? He should be there with her, not here.
Seth quickly stood up and looked around in the room. Jimmy had already left though there were things all over the hotel room. Old take outs, clothes and pillows. Everything was a mess; what had happened here? But he guesses that if one hotel room was the main centre for six people it was understandable.
He picked up his cell and dialled the hospital; he knew that cells weren't allowed there but he could always try.
No answer.
He had to go to the hospital; he'd slept for hours. It was already ten. He grabbed his jacket and left the room, leaving Ryan and Marissa intentionally behind.

At the hospital nothing had really changed. They had some more information and the police was contacted to start their search for the kidnapper. No one seemed to know who he was or what exactly had happened to Summer. Though they knew that she'd been beaten. The only person besides Summer who would know anything was Seth.
"Mom? Dad?" he walked into the hall where the adults sat talking. They all seemed tired and you could see that what they needed right now was sleep.
"Seth, you weren't gone for long. You should sleep some more." Kirsten stood up and guided her son to sit down.
"Mom, Summer's in here. My Summer's in here. I can't sleep; I should have stayed here. Is there something new?"
"Well, Summer's still not awake but the police will come here soon and I bet they want to ask you a few questions."
"Where's Ryan and Marissa? Still at the hotel?"
"Yeah, they were sleeping. Can't I just see her; I won't touch her or anything. I just want to see her again." Seth pleaded.
"Seth, you know that that's not up to us but we'll ask the doctor again, okay?" Kirsten went up and put an arm round her son as they began to walk to the reception, hoping to find Dr. Donaldson.
"Mom?" Seth said as they stood by the reception, waiting for the nurse to call for the doctor.
"Yeah honey?" she turned her head and gave him a smile.
"Why is this happening to her?" his voice was weak but he kept his eyes on his mother, looking like a little child. Kirsten couldn't help but feel pity; she would have begun to cry but it wasn't about her. It was about Summer, and Seth.
"Sweetie, no one deserves something like this and we all know that Summer's done no wrong. Sometimes things just happen and we can't do anything to stop them. We just have to deal with what's put in front of us and try to be strong. We have to be positive and right now, we have to be there for Summer. She's not only hurt physically, you know? This will probably leave deep scars on her."
"Do we know if she…you know…" Seth swallowed and forced himself to pronounce the next words. "raped?"
"Seth, the doctor said that she probably wasn't. There were no signs for it but they I'm not hundred percent sure let's just hope that she'll wake up soon. Look, here's Dr. Donaldson." They turned their attention to the male doctor; he just came out from the elevator and walked up to them.
"Hello, Mrs. Cohen, Mr. Cohen." He nodded at the two of them.
"Hi, Dr. Donaldson. Seth just came here and was wondering again if he couldn't see Summer." Kirsten started.
"I won't hurt her; I just need to tell her some things. I won't touch her, I promise. Please, let me see Summer." Seth seemed almost desperate and maybe he was. His eyes filled with sadness and love at the same time as he said her name; anyone could see that this girl meant a lot to him.
"She really needs to rest and I think the first person to see her should be her father or at least family. But if you get Mr. Roberts permission, I can consider it."
"Really? We'll call him right away. Mom, where's the phone? What's the number?" Seth wanted to do this as fats as possible; he wanted to see Summer as soon as he could. He knew that she needed him; she'd called for him. And even though she wasn't conscious and even though she couldn't feel his presence, he needed her. He couldn't do this alone. Because that was what he was. Without Summer he was alone, she was the only person in the world who could help him through this.
Maybe he was selfish and too weak; he wasn't the one in a hospital bed, the one hurt. Though he felt like there was no way out of this, no way he could go through with it. He wasn't prepared for situations like these; no one had ever taught him how to deal. And even though he knew that he had a lot of people behind him, who was there to support him and help him, no one gave him more strength than Summer.
"I'm can't make any promises, we have to see how's she's doing and then if she's okay, maybe you can see her."
"I don't care, mom, we have to call right now. I have to meet Sum." Seth dragged his mother away to the phones. She gave the doctor an apologising smile and then helped Seth make the call.
