Thank you all who reviewed!
As for my story Life I have a huge problem. My computer recently crashed and two fresh written chapters disappeared.
I've tried to find them but it's impossible, therefore I have to rewrite them so that is the reason for the long wait.
I hope to be able to post next chapter in early next week.
Back to this story, hope you'll like.
When you say nothing at all
He couldn't believe it; he was actually going to see Summer. Neil had given him his permission. Neil as in Summer's dad! They guy who disliked Seth and thought that there couldn't be a worse boyfriend for his daughter. The only reason he could stand Seth was that he made Summer happy and Neil always gave her what she wanted and as crazy as he thought it was, she wanted Seth.
"Mr. Cohen, in here." Dr. Donaldson opened the door to a very bright room. Everything in there was white but the person on the bed. A nurse was in the room, checking the things round Summer.
"Carrie, you can leave now. Someone's here to see Summer." The nurse took a quick look at Seth and then left the room without a word.
"I'll leave you two alone. Be careful with her and if anything happens just push the bottom there." He pointed to a red bottom on the wall and Seth nodded. Before the doctor left he gave Seth a smile.
Left in the room, Seth looked at the girl in the bed. She had a hospital gown and several tubes and other things on her body. Her dark hair lay perfectly on the pillow as if she'd laid herself down there. Her eyes were closed and it looked like she was sleeping.
Seth walked closer to her. She looked so small and vulnerable as she lay there; in a room none of them recognised. She seemed so alone; in a foreign room, with foreign people. Seth sat down in a chair next to the bed, a very uncomfortable chair. He slowly reached his hand to touch her face but then hesitated. She was pale and had a serious look on her face. He couldn't help but think back on the phone conversation they'd had. She'd been so afraid and he'd felt so helpless.
"Summer…" he started and finally touched her. His hand found her cheek and he caressed her gently, being very careful not to hurt her. She had some bruises in her face though he guesses that other parts of her body suffered more. Her skin felt like it used to; she had very sort skin and under his touch it felt like feathers.
"I'm so sorry about all this. I should have been with you and stopped him from taking you, hurting you." He got a huge lump in his throat and took his other hand up to stroke her as well. He placed it on her forehead and slightly toughed her shiny hair. Someone had been very accurate to make her look good. Her hair was combed and everything was very neat.
"You're so beautiful Summer." To finally speak to her, to touch her and see her felt better than anything else could. He'd missed her so much. "You're gonna be okay baby. Everything's gonna work out. We're gonna find the man who did this to you and he's gonna pay for it." Just the thought of that man made him feel sick; how could anyone do something like this?
"When you'll get better we can go to the beach and we can go see a movie; just the two of us. Like we use to, remember?" he said; the memory of the two of them together still warmed his heart; like it always did. Even now when Summer was hurt and unconscious. "I love you Summer, you know that don't you? I love you so much." He leaned down and carefully laid his head close to her, breathing in her scent. "Sum, wake up. Please wake up. I want you to be okay sweetie. I need you to be with me."
The tears burned in his eyes and even though he thought he was selfish and that he should be the strong one, he just couldn't. He'd never been the strong one; he'd always been the one chicken out, the one running to mommy, the one crying. He hated that she was there, that he couldn't take her place. Seth quietly cried into her hair, being comforted because it was her. But he was also sad because of her, because she wasn't okay.
Seth was interrupted though. A sound filled the room; a peep. He quickly sat up, trying to figure out where it came from. He looked at Summer; she seemed okay, but the screen beside her bed was constantly changing. That was where the sound came from. Was she dying?
As soon as that thought came cross Seth's mind he pushed the bottom the doctor had showed him. She had to be okay.
"Summer? Please don't die, don't leave me here." Seth cried much harder now; he was really going to lose her. His beautiful girl. It looked like she was sleeping, like she would wake up if he kissed her or started to tickle her. But she wouldn't. "Sum? Come back here!" He kept crying as a nurse came in and she instantly went outside to call for the doctors. Dr. Donaldson came in, fallowed by two nurses. Seth began to yell at Summer; she couldn't just die. They had plans; they would get married. She was the one.
"Come here Mr. Cohen, let's leave room for the doctor. Come with me." One of the nurses tried to calm him down, but without success; she did make him go outside though.
"What's happening?" The nurse led him to a chair in the corridor and sat him down, he was calming down. He still cried and kept asking questions but he let her touch him and sat down.
"I don't know what's happening but if we just stay out here for a little bit I'm sure the doctor will inform us. We'll just wait here, okay?" Before she was able to continue Seth's parent's rushed up to them.
"What happened?" It was impossible not to recon Seth's tear-filled face, he was still crying though not as hard. And the nurse trying to calm him down wasn't a good sigh. Both Kirsten and Sandy knew that something had happened.
"Sweetie?" Kirsten bent down next to her son and placed her hand on his shoulder.
"It's…it's…Su…Summer." He couldn't talk normally as he hiccupped and as soon as Kirsten hugged him he began to cry more again. Kirsten rocked him and the nurse let her sit in her chair.
"What's happened?" Sandy asked the nurse worriedly.
"I'm not sure but when your son was visiting Miss. Roberts something happened and I don't think it's something good. The doctor's were rushing to her and the machines were beeping. You're son's sure she's dead but as I say, we're not entirely positive yet. Do you want me to go check on her? I'm afraid you're not allowed to go in there right now."
"That would be great. Tell us as soon as you know anything and thanks…you know for taking care of my son; Summer's everything for him." Sandy looked over at his wife and Seth, who had calmed down and was now just staring out in space.
Seth didn't hear them talking anymore; he didn't hear anything. Everything was quiet except the sound of the machine; the sound of Summer dying. Tears kept streaming down his face, he didn't care; he didn't care about anything anymore. Summer was dying.
Flashback
It was a Saturday in the middle of the summer so the beach was crowded. Summer and Seth shared a blanket and were both dressed in their swimsuits. Summer had the cutest of bikinis and Seth had what Summer called 'Grandpa's boxers'. That day Seth couldn't take his eyes from her; she'd never looked more beautiful.
She sat looking out over the ocean, her hair for once not in a bump on her head. She wore it down and it made the greatest match to her tanned body. After a while she noticed him staring at her.
"What are you looking at? Do I look funny?" Seth just shook his head, smiling. Summer smiled too but soon got uncomfortable.
"Why are you looking at me like that Cohen?"
"Because you're gorgeous." He replied honestly. Summer blushed and leaned closer to him, resting her side towards his.
End of Flashback
"Seth...Seth?" Kirsten sat next to him and tried to wake him from his daydreaming. Seth abruptly came back to reality; he looked around and saw the nurse with a worried facial expression and a doctor; Summer's doctor.
As they all had turned their faces towards the doctor, Kirsten holding Seth's hand tight, squeezing it, Dr. Donaldson started to talk. "Hello everyone! I'm so incredible sorry about the misunderstanding." He started but Sandy interrupted.
"What misunderstanding?"
"Oh, you see the nurse who came into Summer's room when Seth here pushed the bottom was just a medical student and she might have frightened your son I'm afraid. She frightened us all; we really though that Summer wasn't gonna make it."
"Summer's okay?" Seth said and hiccupped. He had tears all over his face and looked very much like a little boy as he sat next to his mother. His voice was hopeful and scared at the same time.
"She's okay. The beeping wasn't something bad; on the contrary. She was starting to wake up and that's why the machine began to sound. I'm really sorry that you thought something else; Hannah told me you thought she died. We shouldn't have pushed you out of the room without telling you what was happening but at the moment I came inside I didn't know." The doctor sounded like he meant it and Seth couldn't be mad; Summer wasn't dead. Summer was okay.
"Can I see her? Please, I really need to see her." He said with a voice that still revealed that he'd been crying.
"Sure, though maybe you should wait till the nurses have finished in there."
"Can't I see her anyway; I don't want to wait. I need to see her, see that she's okay." Seth was determined; he was going to see Summer. The doctor gave in and told him it was okay.
As Seth fallowed the nurse, Kirsten, Sandy and the doctor breathed out.
"I'm so sorry about this Mr. Cohen, Mrs. Cohen."
"It's okay. We're just happy that Summer's okay and that Seth is too." They both smiled and knew that their son was on his way to Summer and dhe was okay.
To be continued...
