Chapter 3
"Dr. Cla- Dr. Clark! I need Dr. Clark. Now!" a breathless Summer said to the woman at the front desk.
"I am sorry Miss, but Dr. Clark was just called to a surgery," the woman said.
"No. No, he's not. I just got a call from him. He said to ask for him!" Summer said frantically.
All that she had to do was tell Dr. Clark that this Danny that was in a car crash was not her Danny, but someone else's Danny who had a family and a girlfriend or wife at home.
"Oh. Yes, are you Summer Roberts?"
"Yes. Why?"
"He said that if you happened to come that I should page him and that he would be right out. I am sorry for the confusion."
"Yeah. Okay. Call him now." Summer said, her attitude starting to show.
Five long minutes later Dr. Clark came into the room where Summer was waiting. Summer's eyes were starting to droop due to tiredness and unknowing.
"Hello, Summer?" She looked up into his eyes. "Hi, I am sorry to have to come down here and tell you this," he paused and looked around noticing the different people around the room.
"Would you mind coming into this next room. I would like to talk to you about some things in private."
Summer would have normally objected to this, but she was too tired to so.
She got up and followed him into room.
"Okay. So, it seems that Danny here was in a car accident tonight. As this car came into his car, glass and different parts of the car pierced Danny. A large piece of glass from the back window went into his skull, causing it to damage the brain and cause severe blood loss. I am very sorry to tell you this, Miss Roberts, but Danny did not-" the doctor could not finish when he heard a large sob come from Summer's body. She knew what he was going to say. She felt as if her whole world, at that moment, collapsed. "Is there anyone that you could call? I don't want you driving home tonight." Summer nodded, unable to really hear him out. Dr. Clark brought her the phone. She thought about it and realized that right now, she had no one to call.
So, instead of calling anyone. She just sat there. For a long time. She didn't even know how long it was. She thought about this week, and about the different times that she spent with Danny.
Then it came to her, she could call Cameron. Granted they were not super close, they had talked a lot after her interview and she came close to her, even though they only talked for like an hour.
And most importantly, she trusted her.
It was still early in the morning, but she pulled out her cell phone and called Cameron.
"Hello?" a perky voice answered the phone. 'Normal people are never awake this early,' she thought to herself. But a small smile came to her face when she heard her voice.
"Hey, Cam, it's Summer," Summer's voiced came out soft and tired.
"Hi! Is everything okay? I usually don't get calls this early."
"Um, well I am at the hospital and I was wondering if you could come and pick me up?"
"Sure I can, is everything okay?" Cameron asked concerned.
"I'll tell you everything when you get here. I will be waiting outside."
"Yeah, I'll be right there."
15 minutes later passed and Cameron came driving around the corner. She pulled up and Summer got in. She told her everything that had happened, starting with the party.
"Summer, I am so sorry. Would you like to stay with me for a few days? I can tell the head of your department that you had a family emergency and that you wouldn't be able to come in until next week?"
Summer's head shot up and she looked right at her. "I got the job?"
"Oh, you didn't know? I am sorry, I thought they called you."
Suddenly, it seemed that Summer's would was just a bit brighter.
"No, no. I want to come right away. Well do you think that I could come in tomorrow? I just need some rest today. It would really help me to start working I think."
"Yeah, I'll tell them today. Would you like to stop and get some clothes?"
"Yeah, and thanks, Cam."
"Sure. And you know, you can stay with me as long as you like. I am from California, too you know? Yeah, I was born and raised in San Diego..."
They continued to drive along. Cameron spewing out her whole life story while Summer thought about what she was going to do now and how Cameron reminded her a lot of Seth.
Back in Newport, Ryan and Amy had just become engaged.
"Oh my gosh, Ryan this is going to be so great! We can finally buy a bigger house and- YAY!"
Mary exclaimed, clapping her hand together.
Ryan smiled. "We should call Seth and my parents. Maybe we can go out to dinner with Seth tonight?"
"Sounds good!" Mary kissed him on the cheek and got up to get something to drink.
"Hey, dude. I was just getting ready to call you." Seth said.
"Oh, really?"
"Yes. So what's up?"
"Well Mary and I were wondering what you were doing tonight?"
"Well, I told Jenny that we could grab some dinner, but other than that nothing."
"Do you want to go out to dinner with Mary and me tonight?"
"Yeah, mind if I bring the ole' Jenny with me?"
"Seth, don't mean to be blunt, but do you even like her?"
"Ryan. Ryan, Ryan, Ryan. Of course I like Jenny. It's just, she can take some time getting used to, that's all. And she can be really overbearing and clingy, but yeah, she's good. Actually, things between us have gotten better."
"Huh. Okay, well 8 o'clock tonight at the Rouge Bistro. You know where that is right?Newport Beach Drive?"
"Yep. See you then."
"Bye."
Time passed quickly and soon Ryan and Mary were waiting to get their table set up. They were seated and still no sign of Seth or Jenny. Then, 5 minutes later, Seth and Jenny walk in, Jenny basically attached to him arm.
"Hey party people," Seth said as he pulled out Jenny's chair.
"Hey, man. How are you doin'? Hello, Jenny," Ryan asked.
"Ah you know, the usual. No job. Life is good," Seth said. "Hey Mary."
"Hey Seth! Hey Jenny! How's working at Vouge?" Mary asked, still on her high from becoming
engaged.
"It's great! So fun. Working in the fashion department is like the best job ever."
"That's great! Any upcoming meetings or anything?"
"I don't think so, but things at Vogue are very up in the air. I wouldn't be surprised if something came up tonight!"
They continued talking and soon their dinner arrived.
Seth looked down and noticed a very large ring on Mary's finger.
"Hey! Are you guys engaged? Or is that a very large fake diamond on your finer?" Seth asked.
Ryan and Mary both looked at each other. Mary beamed and nodded her head up and down.
"Aw! You guys that's great!" Jenny said.
"Thanks, yeah, he asked today," Mary could not keep anything in anymore.
The whole night revolved around talking about the wedding and all of the details. Right as they were leaving the restaurant, Jenny's cell phone started to ring. "Oh, work, sorry guys, just one minute."
"Hello?" Jenny asked into the phone as she walked away from the group.
"Hi Jenny, it's Sam, I was just letting you know that since New York's Fashion Week is coming up, you and a bunch of different people from around the country will be going there for it, not only for the shows, but very large meeting will be taking place. I know that this is going to come as a shock to you, but you could be there for up to two months. We have a lot of things planned and it is very important that you come," Sam left no room for argument and continued talking. "We have hotel rooms already booked at the Hilton, right down in Times Square. It is supposed to be beautiful there at night. Everyone will be staying there as well."
"Wow, it sounds great! When do I leave?"
"Next Tuesday. And we already ordered the plane tickets and they should be on their way to your house right now."
"Since I am going to be away from home for a long time, can I bring my boyfriend? I mean he could pay his way and everything?"
Sam was silent for a couple of seconds, unsure of what to say. "Um, sure, that would be fine. But he would need to pay his own way."
"Okay, thanks Sam, so much!"
"Sure, don't forget to pack for 2 months!"
"Hah okay. I'll see you tomorrow at the office."
"Bye."
Seth and Jenny arrived back at Seth's apartment and sat down on the couch.
"That was fun," a worn out Seth said.
"Yeah. I'm so happy for them!"
"Yeah, me too. So what do you want to do, movie? Swim? We could hot tub it?"
"I actually wanted to talk to you about something," he nodded his head and she continued. "I got a call from my boss today telling me that I needed to come to New York for about 1 to 2 months. Fashion Week is getting ready to start and we have some big meetings that will be going on. And I asked her if it would be okay if you came along. I mean, you don't really have anything here right now holding you back, except your parents and Ryan and Mary, but you could talk to them on the phone. And I was just wondering if you wanted to go. We could see the sights, we've never been there together before?"
Seth thought about this for a minute. Up to 2 months without seeing his parents or Ryan and Mary? That was a long time. But, things with Jenny had gotten a lot better recently. "Yeah, I'd love to go. When would we leave though?"
"Next Tuesday, I know that's soon, but.."
"No, that's fine, I'm excited," he truly was. He had never been to New York for a long period of time and this way he would be able to see everything and more.
"Were going to have so much fun!" She got up from the couch and kissed him.
"Summer, you need to come out. I have some news that you are going to want to hear!" Cameron knocked on her guest room door where Summer was currently occupying. She heard the click of the lock and cautiously opened the door.
The blinds were drawn and the cd of Boys 2 Men floated out of the stereo. Tissues were tossed around the room and in the middle of the bed, lay Summer, wrapped up in a big comforter. Her eyes were red from crying and her face pale.
"Aw Summer, is there anything that I can get you? How about you come downstairs, we can have some dinner. I brought home some soup, maybe you should eat that."
"I'm not hungry. Can you turn the music up?"
Cameron went over to the stereo and instead of turning it up, she turned it off.
"I know that you may not want to hear this now, but a huge meeting has come up that we have to be at," Cameron explained.
"When?"
"Well, funny you should ask that. We need to be there next Tuesday, in New York, for about one to two months. And you know, New York Fashion Week is getting ready to start and you'll be able to get to work on the shows and look at all the clothes. You never know, you may even get some free stuff." Cameron said trying to lighten the mood.
"Free?" Summer sniffled.
"Yes. Now, how about we go downstairs and eat. I know your hungry."
Summer got up and followed Cameron down the steps.
Hey! Summer is going to get over Danny dying fast. Hope none of you mind that. Seth and Summer will see each other next chapter. So please read and review!
