Hey Guys. I just noticed a huge mistake of mine. UM. To make a long story short, Chapters Twenty Seven through to Thirty are newly arranged. I think Chapter Twenty Seven might be a new chapter actually, considering I forgot to post it. Boo me. Um, yes. So now things might make sense. I'm so sorry for any inconveniences. Please do go back, to read. Things might make a tad more sense if you do. Again, sorry loves! Thanks for reading, please review ♥

Chapter Thirty

Summer yawned lightly, as she nestled her head on Seth's shoulder, gazing into the fire with a warm smile. Silence dwelled amoung them, as they all lay drowned in their own mysterious thoughts. Seth pulled Summer closer, kissing her gently on the forehead, "So Summer, we haven't chatted much on one of the most life-changing, and important topics this year," Seth couldn't resist to bring the subject up. Lately, he had been thinking about it a lot. He just wanted her all to himself, and that, he could never deny.

Summer looked up daintily, as she gave him a questioning look. Seth simply touched her hand, and lifted the hand on which his engagement ring rested so peacefully, "What are we going to do about that?" He smiled softly at her, giving her a moment to reply. She bit her lip, as she gazed down at the gorgeous rock. She then looked back up at Seth reluctantly.

"Seth," she said softly, "I like how things are now," she frowned gently, "I don't know, I just don't think I want to put more pressure on this relationship. Things are happening so fast, and Seth…" she paused, her voice trailing off, as she stared at him devastated expression.

"So what are you saying?" Seth asked her quickly.

"I'm saying that maybe we should- wait. We're just kids, remember?" Summer replied as gently as she could without bursting his worldly bubble. Ryan and Marissa were watching the scene, shocked at the words that were spilling out of her mouth, "I don't know if you'll understand where I'm coming from- Just try to, though. When you proposed, I was absolutely ecstatic that you survived the gunshot, and then I didn't want things to get worse, and I loved you, and everything. Just now? I want to think about this together but very rationally."

"Loved?" Seth simply asked, looking at her blankly.

Summer rolled her eyes, "Don't get all technical. You know what I meant, so don't make me look like the bad guy here, Seth. I'll still be engaged to you, we'll still be together, but I just think we should hold on with the wedding," she said, in an as-matter-of-factly tone.

"I can't believe you're saying this," Seth said, as he loosened his grip on her. His gaped straight ahead of him, unable to glance in her dark, and pressing eyes.

"Seth," she whispered lightly, almost begging him to look at her, "Can I have some time? I mean, I didn't even have my childhood to plan things through. Remember? My parents were on and off, and I just figured it to be selfish to think of my wedding twenty years from now, when my parents were splitting up," Summer pressed her lips together, as she sighed, "I want our wedding to be perfect. Not rushed, not something of the day. I want it to be the most special day of our lives," she said, and when she couldn't take his ignorant stare ahead of him, she placed her hand on his cheek, turning his head toward her face, "Cohen, if you're going to get mad at me for this, then we've got a problem here."

"Sum, I think that our wedding will be special whether or not it will go on today, or five years from now. I love you, and I think that's all that matters," he said, as he started to get up, "Now if you guys could just excuse me, I need some air," he said.

"Cohen, you're outside," Summer said, her face crinkled up in confusion. Seth shrugged, as he started toward the shore, trudging along its length. Once he was relatively far away, Summer turned to her companions, utterly shocked, "Can you believe that guy?" she said, as she sighed deeply, "What am I supposed to do? You guys don't think I'm wrong, do you?" she frowned, as she watched him head further and further.

"Sum, I think you two are just made for each other. You both have great points," Marissa started to stammer, and before she could continue with her meaningless words, Summer stopped her.

"Coop, do you think we should have the wedding or not?"

"I think you should," Marissa said unsurely, but when Summer's piercing glare shot through the air unfalteringly, Marissa added, "n't. Shouldn't." She stared at Summer, "Go after him, Sum. This is the stupidest thing to fight over. Whether or not you get married, you two are just going to have to learn to compromise. Sum, you're not always going to be right,"

Summer rolled her eyes, "But I'm right, right now. What if he just rushed into this, and then it turns out it really was to early? There's so much about him that I still don't know, Coop! What if like, after the third week of being married he tells me he has herpes, or something? Or that, he has a secret other life and five kids with another woman? I don't know any of this!" Summer groaned lightly, and after a moment of thinking things through in her head, she looked up at her friends, "I should go after him, shouldn't I?" she asked, without even caring for their opinion. In a second, she was jogging the distance that Seth had already covered. When she caught up to him breathlessly, she turned him around violently, pressing her lips against his.

Seth, completely stunned, placed his arms awkwardly around her waist, kissing her back shyly. When Summer pulled away, she simply stared into his eyes, before saying, "Cohen, you idiot!" she muttered, as she let her arms fall down to her sides, "If we're going to get married, you're going to have to hear my opinion through. Like, what was that? Just walking away like some emo, brooding, immature-" Seth stopped her yapping with another kiss, as he pulled her closer than ever. Summer felt his warmth surrounding her entire body, as she succumbed to the kiss.

"Summer, I love you," he said, in between his gentle kisses, "We'll get married when you're ready. I'll always wait for you. I'll always love you,"
