I am so sorry for the long wait. Summer is coming to a close and things have been crazy. And then of course when I had this chapter to post, my internet got screwed up and I was on the phone for like 4 hours, no joke, with those stupid people and then they couldn't figure it out and they had to pass my problem onto someone else who couldn't get back to me until the next day- and let's just say that it was a big problem. And now I really see how much I live on my computer. I was so bored. And then my mom grounded me for something dumb and I couldn't leave the house for the whole day- and yeah, it was pretty much a nightmare.

Okay! On with the story. Oh, one more major thing. I decided to change the last scene and take out the call about the Nana being in the hospital. I had some reviews- along with my personal thoughts-, that it seemed to move a little faster than I would have liked and you would have liked to see, so please go and read it. I made it bold so it should be easy to distinguish where that scene starts.

Sorry for that way long A/N! Enjoy!

Their shopping day had seemed like a lifetime ago and work was in full swing again for the week. Summer, Cameron, and Jenny were all working hard to get this show together along with everyone else. Right now it seemed as if the room was the back of a stage: clothes, chairs, people everywhere. But, by the next weekend, everything would look perfect.

"People! Come on! We have exactly," Sam looked at her watch, "144 hours until this Marc Jacobs fashion show and we are very, very behind. We still have lights to put up, chairs to place in their correct rows..."

Sam continued on with her ranting but Summer's thoughts were else where. Danny, Seth, and Marissa. After her and Seth's small encounter in the dressing room of Versace, memories seemed to flood back in a non-stop motion. Almost all of the people that she cared about so much had been taken from her. And of course the person that she loved like no one else, she had been the one to leave.

She felt someone grab her shoulder and she spun around to be greeted with a huge smile.

"Hey! What's up?"

"Hey, nothing. No, I totally take that back! Something major has just happened!"

Summer smiled, "What?"

"I think I am in love!" Cameron squealed.

"Oh really? Who!"

"His name is Kelan and he works in the L.A. offices. I am telling you, I never believed in love at first sight until like, right this second!"

"What happened?" Summer asked, truly happy for her friend even though she knew nothing about him.

"Well, you know me, how clumsy I can be, well Sam told me to grab chairs and start to line them up with how the catwalk was arranged and I grabbed too many that I could handle and I turned around and they all fell everywhere and then one fell in his way and he tripped and fell and I went over and helped him and then it happened!"

"Cam, that's great! Well not that he fell, but that you met!"

"It totally was a blessing in disguise. I can't believe you didn't hear it. It was like totally loud."

"Oh, yeah. I was just caught up in my own thoughts," Summer brushed them off.

"Well, okay. I've got to get back to work. And don't forget we have that meeting later with only our firms office at the hotel!" Cameron yelled over her shoulder as she walked away.

"Oh yeah, thanks I would have forgotten about that. Bye!"

Just as Summer was about to get back to work, another hand touched her lower back.

"Hey! What are you doing here?"

"Hey, just thought I'd see if Jenny was here but I can't find her."

"Oh, yeah I don't know where she is. I can try and find her if you want." Summer was

disappointed. She had thought that just for a second he was here looking for her.

"Oh no, it's fine. But, it is getting close to lunch, you want to grab something to eat?"

"Yeah, totally. I was just thinking about when we were going to get off for lunch. Let me grab my jacket, tell Sam, and I'll be right back."

"Great."

Summer walked away and did the things that she said she would do. In the meantime, as Seth was waiting around for Summer, Jenny had come waltzing by only to notice Seth standing in the large room.

"Baby! What are you doing here?" Jenny questioned.

Seth cringed, he hated being called baby. "Oh you know, I was just in the neighborhood. Thought I would drop in, say hi. But, I've got to get going. I have a comic book store to head to."

"Ah, more comic hunting. Yes, well have fun."

"Yep. Bye!"

"Wait, it is almost time for lunch, do you want to grab something?"

"Oh, no that's okay I was just going to grab a bagel on the way and anyways you seem busy.

But, we can have dinner tonight. Sound good?"

"Yeah, perfect." She walked over and placed a kiss on his cheek.

"Okay, bye."

Five minutes later Summer walked over to find Seth standing at the door ready to leave.

"Sorry I took so long. Sam was like questioning me about everything."

"No problem. So where to?"

"Umm, well there is this cute little café on Columbus Avenue, but it is kinda far away. I went there with Sam the other day during one of our lunch breaks. They have the best fudgy chocolate torte with hazelnut ice cream." She smiled.

"Awesome. So tell me about this fashion show your putting on."

Summer told him all about what they were planning on doing and all of the different designers that would be having their shows there over the next week. They had been seated and were just getting their food when Seth's cell phone rang.

"Oh, sorry, hold on." Seth apologized.

"It's fine."

"Hello?... Hey, dad!... What's up?... No, I'm not busy, well I am sitting here with Summer. Were having lunch, why what's going on?... Are you serious? A coma?... No, no, I'll go right away. Room 528?.. Okay, yeah I'll talk to you later." He snapped the phone shut and thought about his conversation with his dad.

"Everything alright?"

"It's the Nana. She's in the hospital. Apparently she was getting ready to walk down the steps in her house and she had a really bad fall and her head hit the floor pretty hard and had a brain aneurysm and she is in a coma now. You wouldn't think that falling down the stairs could do that."

"Oh my God. Are you going to the hospital now?"

"Yeah, do you mind if I go now. Will you be okay walking back on your own?"

"Yeah, I'll be fine."

What Summer really wanted was to go with him, be there for him.

"Okay, thanks." He gave her a quick, friendly hug and ran out of the café.

Summer sat there for about 5 seconds and she knew what she had to do. She took a twenty and a five out of her purse to cover Seth and hers lunch, jumped up, grabbed her purse and jacket, and ran out onto the sidewalk. She looked up and down the street looking for Seth when she finally spotted his brown, curly head of hair running in the direction of a taxi.

"Seth! Wait!" She called out.

Even though he was a little ways down, he heard his name being called. He looked down to where he thought the voice was coming from and saw Summer running towards him.

"What, what's wrong?"

"I'm coming with you."

Seth smiled slightly and grabbed her hand to pull her to where the taxi was waiting.

"Thanks," Seth said after they were on their way to the hospital.

"Sure," she said and grabbed his one hand in her two and rested her head on his shoulder.

"Everything's going to be fine. I promise. The Nana, you know, she is very strong."

"She is that," Seth said, trying to not think about the bad.

They arrived at the hospital and after what seemed like countless hours of waiting a doctor finally came out and told them about the Nana's condition.

"It seems that Mrs. Cohen had suffered a brain aneurysm by falling down the steps in her home. Oh, just one quick question, you are a relative I am guessing?"

"Yes, she's my Nana, well my Grandma." Seth explained.

"And is this your wife?" Dr. Goldman said, pointing to Summer.

"No, no, just a friend. This is Summer Roberts," he said at lightning speed.

"Oh well is it okay then if I share with her what is happening to Mrs. Cohen?"

"Sure."

"Okay, well when she fell down her steps, the fall being as hard as it was caused bleeding into the brain and quite possibly the space closely surrounding the brain called the subarachnoid space, which could end up causing a subarachnoid hemorrhage. A subarachnoid hemorrhage from a brain aneurysm can lead to a hemorrhagic stroke, brain damage, or possibly death. Right now, there is limited brain activity but she will be in the coma state for either a couple more hours or even weeks."

"Can we see her?"

"You may, but she does have some bandages. And also, from the fall, she broke her arm so that will have a cast supporting it. And since she is comatose, I can only allow one person in her room at a time."

"Okay, thank you for your time Dr. Goldman," Seth held out his hand and they shook.

"No problem and thank you for coming in and letting me explain a few things to you about your Grandmother's condition." He got up and walked away.

"So, you wanna go see her first?" Seth asked Summer.

"Oh gosh, no. You should see her first."

"Well, alright."

Summer stood up and pulled him into a tight hug. "Be strong, Seth. She'll pull through."

He nodded silently and took the elevator up to her room. He walked in very quietly and saw her through the glass that sat in the wall before her room. He turned the knob and walked slowly over to and sat down in the seat by the bed.

"Nana," he said softly taking her hand in his. He was timid at first. "Hi. I haven't seen you in a while and this situation is most unfortunate. I can't believe that you are here. I was actually going to call and set up a time to meet you. For lunch, coffee even. Okay, your right, I hadn't really thought about it, but now that I am sitting her by you, I can't believe that I didn't think about it. You know me and how I love to talk and everything, but I have been going through some things. See I have a girlfriend now, Jenny. We're here for two months because of her work and we happened to run into Summer and you know how I feel about Summer. And now my whole dynamic has changed. Now I have no idea what I want. I thought I did, but now everything is so confusing. I wish you would wake up and help me out. Last time you were in Newport, which was like God how many years ago? Seven? Anyways, even though we didn't spend a lot of time together, just you being there and the few things that you said to me helped me. I love Summer so much and I could totally see myself with her all the time, but Jenny, I think she wants something more. But right now I just don't think that I can give that to her. She is a very nice girl, don't get me wrong, although my parents don't seem to like her too much, which is weird, sorry, I'll get to the point. Nana! Even when your not "here per se" I can still see in your face that you are telling me to stop rambling. How do you do that! Okay, but I just can't see myself with her for the rest of my life. But, I am not in love with her. And right this second, like seriously right now, I think I have finally realized what I want and need. I have always known it I guess, but I think it just came up from the depths of me. Thanks Nana. But, Summer, she's here with me now and I think that she wants to talk to you too. So, please get better soon. And I love you. And even though the doctor says that there is limited brain activity now, I know that you are having some awesome dreams so when you wake up you are going to have to tell me all about them." he stood up and started his way out of the room. "Bye, Nana." And with that, he walked out of the room and down.

The elevator doors opened and he walked over to Summer and sat down.

"You okay?" She asked him softly.

He gave her a small smile and said, "Yeah. And you can go now if you want."

"Do you mind? I haven't seen her in a while."

"Yeah, sure."

"Okay."

Summer got up and walked over to where Seth had just been.

She walked into the room, almost as quietly as Seth had.

"Hi, Nana. Oh gosh, I hope it's okay that I just called you Nana," she let out a small laugh, "I just have never called you anything I realize. Wow, here I am rambling. Your grandson really can cause people to do things they never thought they would and in my case ramble and damn it there I go again. Okay, well I just wanted to drop in and say hi. I just got this awesome new job down in Texas with this big magazine company and even though I haven't been there long, I love it! My boyfriend just died and seeing Seth again, he has just changed everything inside me. He made me forget about what happened and I love him for that along with like almost everything else about him, except of course for those few select things," she laughed again. "I don't know what he does to me, but it is something that makes me want to be close to him every time I am with him. I want to go back to how we were in highschool. Everything seemed so perfect back then and now he has this girlfriend, Jenny. For a couple of days I even tried to make him want me, pathetic I know, but as weird as this may sound, I feel like I am fighting for a lost cause here. Jenny and him seem to be doing good now, and as much as I want to mess that up, there is something inside of me telling me not to. I love him, I love Seth Cohen. That feels so good to say that and I want something to make him see that. I can see here by how much I have talked that I have some major thinking that I need to do. So, Nana, get better please, Seth loves you and hey, even I love you. You were like the grandma that I never had. So, I will see you soon and maybe we can grab coffee or something." Summer raised her hand and placed it on the Nana's hand. "Bye."

While Summer was upstairs, Seth realized that it was getting late and remembered that he had made dinner plans with Jenny. He reached inside of his jeans pocket and pulled out his phone. He pressed speed dial number 4 and it connected him to Jenny's cell. It always made him laugh that after all these years, Summer was still speed dial number 1, followed by Ryan as number 2, and his parents house as number 3.

"Hello?" Came a panicked voice.

"Hey, it's me. Is everything okay?"

"Yes, I was just worried. I have been trying to get a hold of you all day. Where have you been?"

"I got a call from my dad today saying that my Nana was in the hospital. And you know that hospitals don't like for cell phones to be on."

"Oh my gosh, is she okay?" Jenny had never met the Nana but she had heard a lot about her from Seth.

"Well she's in a coma but the doctors think that she should be out soon. But, are we still on for dinner tonight?"

"That's good and yeah we are if your feeling up to it?"

"Yeah, how about 5 Ninth. I heard from the concierge that it was a good restaurant."

"Yeah, sure where is it?"

"On 5 and 9th. Right up in the Meat Packing District. I'll meet you there around 8:30."

"Okay, bye."

The elevator landed not too long after he had hung up.

"Hey, it was good to see her. I has been a long time," Summer said.

"Yeah, how about we get you back to the hotel."

"Okay."

Seth lead her out and they got a cab back to the hotel. She went up and took a hot shower and thought about what had come through her today at the hospital.

Seth went to the restaurant and noticed that Jenny was already there. He walked over to her and gave her a peck on the forehead and sat down at the seat opposite her. Things were unusually quiet as they sat there eating their meal. After about 3 more minutes of silence, Jenny spoke.

"So, Seth, I have been thinking," she paused, saying nothing.

" Yes, and what have you been thinking about?"

"Well, we have been together for a while now, right?"

Seth raised his eyes in conformation.

"And we have been pretty steady and not a lot has been able to come between us."

Seth just looked at her. He had no idea what was coming. Was she breaking up with him? Was she asking for more than just dating?

"Okay, what's going on?"

"Well, you see, as a couple, I was thinking that we should take our relationship to the next level."

"Right, and how do you suggest we do that?"

"I think we should get married."

Right as she began to speak her mind, Seth had taken a drink of his water and by the end of her sentence, his water was spewed across the floor. His eyes bulged as big as frisbees and he opened his mouth to say something, but no words came.

"Wow, um that is a really big step. Jenny, I don't know if we are ready for that. I mean, marriage is permanent," and just as he said that, Jenny erupted.

Jenny opened her mouth and just as she did that, 'oh shit.' popped into Seth's mind.

"WHAT! So what you are basically telling me is that what we have is not permanent, that when you decide that we don't fit anymore that we are just going to be over!" Jenny was practically screaming, but nobody was really aware of the situation which Seth was very thankful for.

"I do not think so Seth Cohen. We are in this now together! Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no. This is about Summer isn't it. You still wish you were with her!"

"No, Jenny that isn't it at all. We are done- for good. All I am saying is that maybe we should really think about what getting married means. Are we really sure that we want to take up the responsibilities of married life?" Seth really had no clue what he meant by that, but it sounded good.

Seth knew what marriage really meant. It meant being so happy waking up to that person every morning, being there for them- good and bad times, making them happy, being their best friend, and most importantly, loving them so much that it hurts you to think about loving someone else that much.

He really did want to be able to move on from Summer in his mind, but in his heart, he knew that it was totally impossible.

And right now, it was killing him on the inside to be here with Jenny right now and know that she wanted to take that huge next step with him but that he didn't want to with her. He was flattered, really, that someone would want to spend their life with him, him! But, he just couldn't bare the thought of someone feeling so much for him and thinking that they both shared the same feelings when that wasn't how it actually was.

"Yes, I do know, and I want to share those responsibilities with you," her voice softened and she took his hands in hers.

"Jenny, I'm sorry, but I don't think that I am ready to share those with you." His eyes showed his sincerity and sorrow. "Excuse me." He pulled his hands away from hers, slid his chair back, and walked out of the restaurant. He knew exactly where he needed to go.

Hope you enjoyed! I am really happy with how this chapter turned out so if you could leave a review to say what you thought that would be awesome! And also, if you could tell me if you liked the scene I changed from last chapter. I thought that it worked out a lot better. So thanks for reading!
