Thank you so much for reviewing my last chapter. I know Summer just went back home but i've been planning on doing this for awhile and of course Summer's going to want to go:-) So please read and review!
Chapter 5
"I'm home!" Summer called when she entered her house. "Andrew?"
"Hey honey," He said cheerfully coming out from the bedroom. "How was your trip?"
Summer set down her luggage and turned to Andrew. "It was a trip. As good as can be expected, especially since I went for a funeral. But it was great to see the Cohen's again."
"Well that's good." Andrew put his arms around Summer and pulled her in for a tight hug. "I missed you,"
"I missed you too." Summer looked up and placed a kiss on his lips, which he accepted.
"So, what you want to do tonight? A movie? Dinner? Maybe some monopoly?" Andrew followed Summer as she walked into the bedroom and Summer turned around smiling.
"Dinner? Yes. Movie? Yes. Monopoly? Hell no. You get to into that game and last time I thought you were going to morgage OUR house in order to win."
"What can I say? I'm a competitive person." Summer rolled her eyes and continued unpacking.
"Well, what do you say about a movie here? We can order in." Andrew smiled and layed down on the bed and watched her unpack.
"Sounds good to me. I get to pick the movie though." Summer stopped unpacking for a second and looked at Andrew.
"I don't think so. Last time I let you pick, you picked a horror film that gave you nightmares for a week. I'm still trying to catch up on my sleep." She turned around and continued to unpack.
"Yeah well, that doll scared the shit out of me. He could come into my house and murder me while I sleep." He curled up into a ball and hugged the pillow, looking around the room.
"It's just a movie sweetheart."
"Ok, I'll let you pick. But no, lovey, sapy movies that will make me fall asleep 5 minutes in." Summer finished unpacking her clothes and settled on the bed with Andrew.
"Aww, but those are the best ones." She said, laying down on his chest. "Ok, so no horror movies and no lovey sappy movies. What about 'Eight Below'? It's a dog movie, those huskies are so adoarble."
Andrew pretended to think about it for a moment before turning back to Summer. "Ok, that sounds good. What about dinner? Chinesse?"
Summer thought about it and agreed. "I'll go get the movie, you order."
Andrew nodded and they both stood up off the bed. Summer grabbed her car key's and left the house, while Andrew picked up the phone and dialed the number.
-
When Summer got back home, she saw Andrew sitting on the chouch with the phone in his lap.
"Ok, so I got the movie. Even though the checkout lady was a bitch. She kept ruining the movie for me. So now I know that 2 of the dogs die, stupid whore." She sat down next to Andrew and took the phone out of his hand. She looked through the phone book and noticed the Cohen's had called. "What did the Cohen's want?"
Andrew turned to face her and took the phone out of her hands. "There's been another accident..." He said gently.
Summer's face fell and she grew scared. It could only be Seth, Sandy or Kirsten. "Oh god. What happened?"
Andrew took her hands in his and kissed her before continuing. "It's Seth."
Summer stood up off the couch and started pacing. "Shit! What the hell happened?" She could feel the tears in her eyes.
"He tried to kill himself." He said quietly. "He's in the hospital, he's stable."
Summer was shocked. "Damn it," She said walking back into the bedroom. Andrew followed her.
"What are you doing?" Andrew asked as she started putting clothes back into a suitcase.
"I have to go back." She said obviously. "Cohen is my best friend, I need to make sure he's okay."
Andrew nodded and took out his suitcase as well. "Well then i'm coming with you."
Summer was about to protest but she just smiled at him. "Ok," She said.
-
When Summer and Andrew arrived in Newport, Andrew looked around in amazement.
"Well, i'm a long way's from Minnesota." He tured to Summer who was smiling at him. "So this is where you grew up, huh?"
She nodded her head and Andrew whistled once they drove into the Cohen's driveway.
"Shit," He began. "If I knew we were coming to a house like this, I would have put my suit and tie on."
Summer hit him playfully on the arm and got out of the cab. They got their suitcases out of the cab and walked up to the front door. Summer knocked on it, and gave Andrew an encouraging smile.
Kirsten opened the door and Summer could immeadiatly tell that she had been crying. Her eyes were puffy and swollen, she looked devastated.
"Hey Kirsten," Summer said, leaning in for a hug. "How is he?"
"Oh, he's stable. He's in the hospital, still." She whiped away a few tears that were threatning and Sandy came up behind her, who looked almost as bad as Kirsten.
"Hey, Mr.C." Summer said.
"Hey Summer," He held the door open for Summer and Andrew and once they got inside, Summer introduced Andrew.
"This is my Fiance, Andrew." She said to Sandy and Kirsten, and they all shook hands.
"It's nice to meet you." Kirsten said.
"It's nice to finally meet you also. Summer's told me so much about you, she talks about you non-stop."
They smiled at Summer and she blushed. "It's not all the time..." She protested.
"No, only when we're having...never mind." He said, also blushing. Everyone laughed at him and Sandy just patted him on the back.
"So, can we go see him?" Summer asked referring to Seth. Sandy and Kirsten looked at eachother and back at Summer and Andrew.
"Sure, why don't we take the Range Rover? We'll just be a second." Kirsten said, eyeing Sandy.
Summer nodded and her and Andrew went out into the Range Rover, a few minutesa later, Kirsten and Sandy came back out and got in the car.
-
Once they reached HOAG, Summer pratically jumped out of the car before it stopped. She ran inside and had to wait for Sandy and Kirsten to catch up to show her where to go. Once they reached his room, she noticed it was a ICU room. She sighed and shook her head before following Kirsten and Sandy in there.
"He's stable, but not awake." Kirsten explained. "They don't know how long it will take for him to wake up."
Summer noticed his arms were wrapped in bandages and there was blood seeping through. She held back the tears not wanting Andrew to see her like this. Kirsten must have noticed her uneasiness.
"Sandy, why don't we go get some coffee?" She gave him a look that just said to go with it, and he agreed. "Andrew, why don't you come with us? We can get to know eachother better."
Andrew hesitated before agreeing. He remembers Summer telling him to never cross the Kirsten. Andrew gave Summer a kiss on the head.
"I'll be right back sweetie. You going to be okay?" Summer nodded her head, and Andrew left the room with Sandy and Kirsten.
Summer watched the door shut before looking back at Seth. She sat down in the chair next to his bed, and looked him over. He had a few scrates on his face too, who knew where they came from? She was too interested in the bandages wrapped around his forearms. She looked at the door making sure nobody was coming in before lifting the bandages up. She saw slits on his writs that were the size of his entire forearm. Summer couldn't hold back the tears anymore, once she was those...
She was broughten out of her thoughts when she noticed Seth stirring. Was he waking up? Her question was answered when she saw his eyes flicker open. She wasn't sure if she should push the nurse button but did it just in case. The nurse was there within seconds and smiled when she noticed Seth awake.
"Ahhh, It's good to see you finally awake." She took the chart off his bed and marked a few things before putting it back. "Are you in any pain?"
Seth looked up at the nurse and nodded his head. She frowned and did something to his IV drip. She noticed Seth wince, and then relax.
"That should help." The nurse said. "My names Amy, by the way. So if you need anything just push the nurse button like you did before. I'm glad you're awake." She smiled at Summer before leaving the room.
Summer turned back to Seth and for the first time, he noticed her sitting there. He looked surprised when he looked at her.
"Hey Cohen," Summer said, leaning forward and kissing him on the cheek. "How are you?"
He tried to talk but started coughing. Summer debated again, wether or not to push the nurses button but decided not too when she saw ice chips next to his bed. She picked them up and handed them to him, he ate a couple before speaking.
"I'm fine." He said simply. He went through all the work to eat the ice chips to say, 'i'm fine'.
"You're not fine Cohen. Otherwise you wouldn't have tried to kill yourself." Seth looked at the sheets on the bed and started to play with them.
"I didn't mean too. I didn't want to kill myself..." He pushed back the tears that were threatning. He was sick of crying. "I'm sorry..."
"It's okay Cohen." She took his hand in hers, and gently rubbing his hand with her tumb. "Maybe you should talk to someone about this."
Seth looked at her in disbelief. Then looked down, ashamed of Summer's dissapointment.
"I don't need too." He said. "I'll be fine Summer, I promise. I won't do it again."
Summer looked at Seth. "Ok, I trust you Cohen."
He smiled at her and he then looked confused again. "What are you doing here?"
"I was worried. I wanted to make sure you were okay."
"Well i'm fine." He said. "So I guess you can get back to your fiance."
"Seth, what is it with him that you hate so much? You don't even know him."
Seth just stayed silent. "Nothing..." He said, not wanting to explain that he still loved her.
Summer just shrugged her shoulders. "Sometimes I don't understand you Cohen."
After she said that, Kirsten, Sandy, and Andrew came walking in the door. When Summer saw Andrew, she took her hands away from Seth.
Kirsten came over and gave Seth a big hug, only letting go after Seth said he couldn't breathe. Sandy came and gave him a hug as well.
"I'm so glad you're okay sweetie. You scared me.." Seth felt bad, seeing his mother's face.
"I'm sorry.." He said again.
"It's okay sweetie. But promised me you'll never try that again. We almost lost you..." Seth looked away when he saw the tears forming in his mothers eyes.
"I promise mom. I'll never do it again."
Kirsten nodded her head. "Ok, Seth. I trust you, but if you do do it again. You're going to have to talk to someone."
Seth looked at her for a few seconds before nodding his head. He looked at Summer and then a person he didn't know.
"Who are you?" He asked, pointing at Andrew.
"Seth, don't point." Kirsten said, and Seth put his finger back.
"Cohen, this is my fiance, Andrew." She said, leaning into him. Realization hit Seth like a bus just then. She really did have a fiance.
"Hi," Seth said.
"Hey man." He said nicely. "I'm glad you're okay."
'I'm sure you do'. Seth thought. 'Jackass.'
"But we better be getting back" Andrew said and Summer looked at him confused. "We have to get settled in and stuff."
Summer nodded her head and looked at Sandy and Kirsten. "Is it okay if we stay at your house again?"
Sandy and Kirsten smiled. "Of course sweetie, just use the same room as before."
Andrew and Summer began walking out of the room. Summer turned to Seth and waved.
"I'll be back later Cohen. Take care." Then they left the room.
-----
Once they got to the Cohen's house, Andrew and Summer took their bags upstairs and started unpacking. Once they were finished,
Andrew told Summer to come into the bathroom. When she did he had a surprise for her.
"Ok, Sum. I never got to give youyour Anniversary present so here it is." He pulled out a small box, that looked like her engagment ring box and she opened it up.
Inside were two tickets to a concert. "Oh my god!" Summer screamed. "Tickets to a Tom Petty concert! That is amazing! Thank you so my sweetie." She gave Andrew a big kiss. "But..." She was confused on if the tickets were for Minneapolis, how would they get back in time to see it. "It's in Minneapolis isn't it?"
Andrew shook his head. "No," Again, Summer was confused. "I got them switched when the Cohen's called. I knew you'd rush over here, so I got tickets to see him in L.A tomorrow night instead."
Summer smiled and walked towards him. "You're the best, you know that?"
Andrew nodded his head. "Yeah, I had that suspision." Then Summer closed his mouth by pressing her's against his. The kiss started to deepen when they were interrupted by a baby cry.
"Oh, It's Rachel." Summer pulled away and made her way down the hallway to pick up the screaming child. She picked her up, and she wouldn't stop crying. "She's probably hungry," Summer thought out loud. She made her way downstairs to the kitchen where there was already formual made. She picked one out and tried feeding the baby which she gladly accepted. A few minutes later the baby was asleep again, and Summer put her back in her crib.
"That was amazing," Andrew said in awe. "How did you know what to do?"
"Marissa and I use to babysit Kaitlyn all the time." Summer said, making her way back into the bedroom. She collapsed on the bed, and Andrew joined her.
"You know," Summer said. "I still have that movie. I was in such a hurry I never set it down." She lauged.
Andrew stood up. "Well then, let's pop it in." He took the movie out of Summer's bag and put it into the DVD player in the guest bedroom. They snuggled up and settled down to watch the movie.
-
"Uhhh, mom. I'm so bored. You couldn't bring any comic books or a movie or something?" Seth complained.
"Sorry sweetie. That wasn't exactly the first thing on my mind."
Seth frowned and looked at the sheets again. He started to fiddle with them before he looked up at his mother to speak. "Mom, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to put you through this."
"It's alright sweetie." Kirsten said. "I'll be okay. Just as long as you never do it again."
"I won't mom, don't worry." Seth took Kirsten's hand in his, and gently started to rub it. "I love you mom."
"I love you too Seth. So much,"
The warm moment between mother and son was interrupted by Nicole entering the room.
"Seth!" She said running over to his bed. "Oh my god, you're okay. I was so worried."
'I'm sure you were.' Seth thought. 'That's why it took you 5 hours to get here.'
Nicole leaned down and placed a kiss on Seth's lips. He allowed her too, but didn't kiss back.
"Guess what Cohen! I have great news." Nicole set herself down on the bed. "I got a job!"
Seth looked at her in disbelief. "That's the great news?"
Nicole nodded her head. "That's just the beginning of it. My job, it's in Japan!"
Seth's face filled with shock. "Japan?" Nicole just nodded her head. "Wow..."
"Yeah, but I have to go. My plane leaves in an hour. I just wanted to come say goodbye."
Seth looked at her in shock again, also a little confused. It was just like Summer. Why do women keep doing this to him? They come an hour before they have to leave and just say goodbye. All though, granted, Summer looked a little more heart broken than Nicole does right now.
"Ok, bye, I guess." Seth said. He leaned out for a hug which she fell into. "I'm gonna miss you Nikki. Have a good time."
"Thanks Seth." She pulled away and kissed him. "I'll miss you too, bye." She stood up and walked to the door and gave Seth a small wave with a sad smile.
Once she left the room, Seth found himself feeling sad. He never really liked the girl either, she was just someone he could talk to, and tell his problems too. She was a friend with benefits. But he can't help but feel sad because she was one of his best friends. True, their romance probably would have never gotten any farther then it already had, but he was going to miss that feeling that he had someone. Now he didn't have anybody. Summer had Andrew and his parents had eachother. He doesn't even have Ryan anymore.
He rolled over in his bed and found himself letting tears fall down his face. Kirsten noticed and leaned into him and gave him a hug.
"It's okay sweetie." Kirsen said.
Seth rolled back over and looked at his mother. She looked sad too.
"Mom, can I just be alone for awhile?" Kirsten was surprised at first but then nodded her head.
"Of course honey. I"ll just go find your father."
She stood up from the bed and kissed Seth on the forehead. Once she was out of the room, Seth started sobbing. Loudly. He couldn't believe this. Any person that he ever got close to, always left him. Ryan, Marissa, Nicole, Summer. Who will be next? His parents?
He looked down at his gauze and saw the blood soaking through them. He sighed and shook his head. 'No. I promised mom I wouldn't do it again'. He told himself. 'I told Summer I wouldn't do it again also. I can't do that to her.' Seth knew he valued Summer's trust and he didn't want to jepordize it. He just wishes he had somebody in this world, like everyone else.
Ok, so I needed a reason to get rid of Nikki because she was beginning to annoy me, and as some reviewers say, she's a tool! Click that review button down there, you know you want too!
