Hey guys…okay update…it's what you asked for. Hope you guys like this chapter. I was thinking that in this chapter maybe something good could happen for Summer…

DISCLAIMER: I don't own anything except Allie, Jenn, Nicky, Matt, Jeff and Seth's song.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Seth looked at Summer. He kept cursing under his breath. He wondered how long she had been standing there and if she realized that the song that he wrote was for her.

"Okay Seth, that was good. We're gonna take a break and then were gonna start from verse 2 okay?"

"Uh…yeah. Okay."

The whole time, Seth didn't take his eyes off of Summer. He took the earphones off from his head and headed towards the door.

She was hugging herself, and trying to rub the goose bumps off her arms but it was hopeless. The more she tried to rub them off, the more she had. He was coming towards the door, towards her. She tried hard to not to make eye contact but it was impossible. All she did was look deep into his chocolate brown eyes and breathed deeply.

He walked towards the door and saw Summer on the other side of the glass. He grew nervous but at the same time angry but then decided that after how he treated her, he'd probably consider her brave, like when she used to be…before she left…he always turned to that moment in his life, it was the only way that he couldn't forgive her. He approached the door and turned the knob and sighed. He walked towards her. He sat on the chair and Summer sat near him on another chair.

"What are you doing here?"

"I uh…came here to see you and to apologize for everything that I've ever caused you, the pain, the suffering, everything."

"Do you think that I'm the only one you should be saying this to?"

"Obviously not Seth but, you? It's a start. Marissa told me that Allie's harder than you."

"She's right. If I could only show you what you missed out on, but that's not my problem. If you should apologize to anyone, it's Allie."

"I know but I wanted to fix things with you first."

…It took Seth a while to think of his words, of what he was going to say.

"…Look Summer, you hurt me…a lot when you left."

"I know…and I'm sorry."

"…(sighs) You have no idea the hurt that you put me through. I thought that we had something great you know? A kid, people who love us, I couldn't ask for more because if I did, I knew that it would be going overboard. Sometimes I still cry at night wondering what I did wrong and I asked myself if you were ever coming back…Allie wasn't the only one who wanted you here again…I did too and when I heard that you were coming back…I wondered why. The when I confronted you last night, I guess all of the emotions and anger that I've been holding in, in the past 15 years was flushed out."

"Well you don't have to worry anymore Seth, I'm staying here for the rest of my life and I just hope that one day you and I can be friends again."

"Just friends? You sure you don't want more?"

"I dunno. I guess we'll see what happens…I have to go."

"W-wait…how long have you been here?"

"When you started singing the song you just finished."

"So…what did you think of it?"

"I loved it…I'm sorry if I put you through all of that trouble…"

"…So I'll see you at Marissa's tonight?"

"Yeah."

"How's Allie doing? She wasn't that great this morning."

"I hope she's feeling better."

"Me too. When you get back to the house can you tell her that I say hey?"

"Sure…I gotta get going so…"

"Oh…right bye Summer."

Summer left the building and headed towards Marissa's car. Seth watched her as she left. He looked after her wishing that it could be easy to forgive her like she had forgiven him for screwing up all those times ago…but it was useless no matter how hard he tried to forgive her, the fact that she left for 15 years remained in his mind.

Summer entered Marissa's car. She sat on the passengers side and sighed and smirked to herself. Marissa noticed and could only tell that her and Seth were okay for now but she was not yet forgiven.

"So?"

"So?"

"How'd it go?"

"Am I crying?"

"No."

"Then that should say it all right?"

"You're okay for now?"

"I guess…did Allie call at all?"

"Twice. Just to see how it was going."

Summer just smiled to herself.

"Don't let her get to you in a good way Sum. I know my niece she's gonna wanna punish you for a long time."

"Please tell me you're joking."

"Nope…you know that when she found out Santa wasn't real, she wouldn't hug or talk to Ryan for a month and a half…the only reason she spoke to him again was because Seth begged her to. She's a tough one to deal with…I'm guessing that she gets it from you."

Summer could only smirk but then it returned to a frown. They were on the road and Marissa called Allie to let her know that they were on the way.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

When they got back home, they found Allie sleeping on the couch as "I Love Lucy" was playing on the TV.

"This kid and the oldies…I dunno."

Marissa smiled at her niece as Summer sat at he end on the edge of the couch and noticed the way her daughter slept. One foot off the couch along with half her leg, sleeping on her back, and her lips just parted. Deep breaths were taken and once in a while, a small, barely audible snore. One arm laid behind her head and the other rested on her stomach. While she slept, she looked like Seth. Summer smiled and at that same moment, Allie slowly started to open one eye as she stirred. Slowly, the other eye began to open up and as Allie was sitting up rubbing her eyes, checking her surroundings, she noticed the little figure at her feet.

"Good morning sleeping beauty."

Allie just grumbled…then coughed. Marissa came into the room with Tylenol and water.

"When I heard the grumble, I knew you were up."

"So how you feeling?"

"Uh…headache's gone. But my body still aches and I still feel cold."

"Here hun."

Marissa gave her the water and Tylenol. Marissa then left the room.

"How did it go?"

"Okay."

"That's it?"

"Yup…I heard his song though."

Allie nodded.

"That must've killed him…I'm gonna go to the bathroom."

"Okay."

Summer sat on the couch watching the rest of the show as FRIENDS was coming on Allie came and sat on the couch in a ball much like Summer used to when she watched the Valley.

"Okay so I gotta ask…The Valley or FRIENDS?"

"What?"

"C'mon…"

"I can't answer that."

"Why not?"

Allie looked at Summer as if it were obvious.

"Because FRIENDS and the Valley are two completely different genres of shows. It's like me asking you if you like the Valley or Golden Girls better."

"True."

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Seth entered the Atwood home that night exhausted. He could hear the boys screaming as Allie and Jenn bet them in DOA. He walked into the family room and stood in the doorway. He could see that Allie was feeling better than she had in the last couple of days.

"Hey guys…watcha playin?"

"DOA dad."

"10 to 1 that I can whip all your butts."

"I don't think so uncle Seth…no one could beat Allie…my dad tried to an hour ago…still doesn't know why he can't win."

"Well I'm here to tell you little Nicky that I can beat her in a shot."

Nicky handed Seth the controller and Allie and Seth went head to head in DOA. Eventually Seth asked for so many rematches when Allie whipped his ass a million times. Summer watched the whole time.

"Wow Seth, finally someone who could whip your…beep."

"You can say it…me and Jeff hear it all the time from Allie and Jenn."

Summer smiled for the first time in 15 years. She was home and no one was gonna take that away from her.
