Summer couldn't believe it was the last week and she only had two guys left. Zach and Adam, really they were complete opposites. Zach had been groomed his entire life to be a politician and this was the first rebellious thing he had ever done. Adam was a drummer in a band had a couple of tattoos but he was also really sweet. Summer was not sure if she was ready to choose but thankfully she had a date with both of them separately to help her make up her mind. As she got ready she thought back to all the guys who she had already turned down and the only one she ever really felt bad about or wondered if she did the right thing was with Seth. She wished desperately that she would have given him a chance to explain, but it was too late now all the wishing in the world was not going to change anything and he was probably much happier with Anna they seemed perfect for each other. She sighed as she looked at herself in the mirror. She was sick of always having to dress up for once she wanted to just go lie on the couch and watch TV in her pajamas with no make up, no nothing. That wasn't going to happen anytime soon especially considering who ever she choose tonight would be going home with her and would be her date to Marissa and Ryan's wedding. There was a knock at the door and Summer pushed all her thoughts to the back of her mind as she walked over to the door and Zach was standing at the door holding a single red rose.

"You just keep getting more beautiful" he said handing her the flower.

Summer smiled and took the flower and Zach leaned in and kissed her. It was a simple kiss, they always were with Zach.

"Are we ready?" Summer asked when Zach pulled away

He shook his head and held out his arm for Summer. She thought it was cute the first couple of times but now it was getting a little old she could walk for herself.

They walked downstairs and got into a car. "So what are we doing?" Summer asked

"That is a surprise" Zach said giving a smug grin

"This is payback isn't it?"

"Yep" Zach said smugly

They got in the car and Zach put his arm around Summer. "So who are you picking tonight?" Zach asked nervously

"Honestly I don't know" Summer notice Zach tense up "But just act as if there is no elimination or anything"

Zach nodded his head. The car came to a stop and Zach got out of the car first and then turned to help Summer out. "Wow I love this place" Summer said as she got out of the car

"I remember you telling me something about it" Zach said as they walked inside.

"Two for Stevens" Zach said

"Hello Mrs. Roberts are you sure you don't want your usual table?"

Summer shook her head no "Where we are sitting is fine"

Zach smiled at her and kissed her again, before they were lead to there table.

Once they sat down they were both looking over the menu neither saying anything.

"What are you getting?" Zach asked

"The chicken salad" Summer replied

"I don't think I have ever seen you eat a salad"

"Yeah but they know to put light salad and heavy chicken for me" Summer said smiling a little

Zach nodded his head "I think I will get the lobster"

Summer shook her head as the waiter came over and poured both of them a glass of water. "Would you like anything else to drink?"

"No thank you" Summer said

"I will have a glass of your finest wine" Zach answered

The waiter shook his head and walked away.

"Since when are you a drinker?" Summer asked confused

"Since I am so nervous that tonight I might lose the girl of my dreams"

Summers heart melted. The one thing she loved about Zach was that he always said the sweetest things and was always the perfect gentleman, but that also annoyed her as well. She was hoping that if she chose him and once the cameras were gone that he would loosen up a bit, but that was going to be a risk she would take if she choose him. Before Summer could reply Zach's wine arrived and he took a sip and Summer laughed at his face.

"Sorry I am not much into wine, but it's the only alcohol on the menu" Zach remarked

"No that was the funniest and cutest thing I have ever seen"

"You think I'm cute?" Zach asked causing Summer to blush a little.

"Looks like you don't need any more wine" Summer joked

Zach just smiled and reached over and took Summers hand.

They continued the small talk and flirting throughout the meal. Once they were done eating they walked outside and there was a horse drawn carriage waiting for them. Zach helped Summer up then getting in himself.

"This is very romantic" Summer said as she cuddled up to Zach

Zach just smiled at her as the carriage pulled away. They went through a park, and considering it was the middle of the day they stood out like a sore thumb and being all dressed up didn't help. Summer didn't care though. She loved that Zach was always doing something sweet for her.

After riding around the part for a half an hour Zach and Summer got into separate cars because Summer was going on her date with Adam now. When she got in the car there was a note that said.

Knowing Zach you're all dolled up, but now their times for some real fun before you do anything make sure to change into something comfortable

Love,

Adam

Summer smiled and asked the driver to take her to one of her favorite stores. She really didn't feel like going back to the house just to change so instead she went shopping. After the quickest shopping trip had ever been she walked out with her dress in her and she was now in some jeans and a t-shirt. She climbed back into the car. Once the car stopped the door instantly opened and Summer saw Adam standing outside waiting for her.

"Hey" she smiled as he helped her out of the car and pulled her into him. He kissed her and this was nothing like the kisses she was sharing with Zach these were more passionate rather than simple. Summer enjoyed both.

"So what are we doing?" She asked once they pulled apart

Adam looked her over "This looks new" he said avoiding the question

"It is, now stop avoiding the question and tell me what we are doing" Summer said poking Adam in the chest

"Well if you must really know my band is performing, then the rest is a surprise"

Summer nodded her head. She had no problem that Adam was a musician but she was hoping that they would spend some time getting to know each other a little better, hopefully the second part of the date allowed for that. "Great" she said as he led the way into the club. She recognized the club. They were at The Bait Shop. She had spent a lot of time here in high school, mainly getting drunk and partying with Marissa. They walked in and Adam lead Summer to a secluded booth right next to the stage.

"Your VIP section" he said as she sat down.

Summer smiled as she looked around at the crowd who was watching her. "I will be back" Adam said kissing her again and walking away.

Summer got herself comfortable as the lead singer began to talk.

Stevie had dragged Seth down to the bait shop to see her favorite band that was playing after being missing for the last couple of months. Seth was sure she was there biggest fan considering they were nobodies and she knew this. Seth was standing behind Stevie with his hands on her hips. Once the lead singer started talking she started clapping. Seth looked around to see if there was anybody as bored as her. He noticed there were some cameras, and figured the band was bigger then he thought they were. They started playing some song that sounded way to classic rock for Seth. As the first song ended the crowd cheered and Stevie turned around and gave Seth a quick kiss before returning his attention back to the band. After an hour the band ran out of material and everyone began to clap. Stevie who hadn't really told Seth she had a huge crush on the drummer watched as he walked off stage over to a secluded booth and she freaked when she saw her favorite actress sitting there.

"Oh my god it's Summer Roberts" She said excited

Seth who was taking a drink of his Mountain Dew began to choke. He never thought he would see her again. "What?"

"Over there" Stevie said pointing in there direction.

Then it dawned on Seth where he had known the drummer from. "Yep sure is" he said lamely

"Let's go talk to her" Stevie said dragging Seth along.

While Seth seemed to everyone else to be over Summer really he still wondered all the time what if she would have let him explain, would they be together? He defiantly was not going to find this out now in front of Stevie.

"Actually babe, you go talk to her I really have to pee and I'm sure you don't want me wetting myself in front of her right?" Seth said the regretting his words because even he was grossed out about what he just said.

Stevie gave him the weirdest look. "Uhh sure"

Seth kissed Steve's forehead before walking away "I'll meet you outside"

Stevie nodded her head and walked away towards Summer.

Summer was waiting for Adam to return when she noticed Stevie walking towards her.

"Hi Summer I am Stevie and I am a huge fan."

Summer smiled "Thank you"

"Do you think I could get a picture?" Stevie asked somewhat embarrassed

"Of course" Summer said and put her arm around Stevie as Stevie took the picture.

"Oh my god thank you so much" Stevie said while she was looking over the picture

"Anything for a fan" Summer said humbly

"So…um… are you dating Adam?"

Summer looked around "Kinda"

"That is so cool, he is so hot"

"I'm sure your boyfriend wouldn't be happy if he heard you say that" Summer said then slapping her self mentally. Yes she saw Seth with this girl, but she had chose to end there relationship so it's not like she was allowed to be mad at him for moving on. The part that made it worse was the girl was actually pretty and she was nice. She was at least hoping he would hook up with some ugly chick so that she could feel a little bit better, but no that would be easy.

"How did you know I have a boyfriend?" Stevie was freaking out did the Summer Roberts notice her.

"Lucky guess" Summer said playing it off

"Oh" Stevie said clueless

"Are you ready?" Adam asked when he walked over to the two girls

"Yeah" Summer said giving him a quick kiss.

Stevie smiled "I am Stevie" she said locking eyes with Adam.

"Adam, did you like the band?" he asked

"Are you kidding I love you guys"

"Wow thanks"

"Well it was great meeting both of you but my boyfriend is waiting outside"

"Right we should get going" Adam said tearing his eyes off of Stevie and back towards Summer. This did not go unnoticed by either girl.

"Bye" Stevie said walking away.

"Think you could stop drooling?" Summer said crossing her arms.

"What are you talking about?" Adam said playing dumb

"The fact that you were undressing her with your eyes"

"I was not"

Summer just glared at him "Where are we going now?"

"I have a boat waiting for us to take us up the coast"

"Lets go then" Summer said annoyed. Adam followed obediently

Stevie walked outside and saw Seth sitting on the bench staring out into the ocean he was deep in thought. She sat next to him.

"Penny for your thoughts"

Seth snapped out of his what if thoughts "Oh its nothing just work" he lied

Stevie was still to excited to really care that Seth was lying to her. "Oh okay, you ready to go?"

"Yeah, we have to meet Ryan and Marissa for lunch"

"I remember" Stevie replied annoyed she was really sick of always hanging out with Marissa, to say the least she was annoying, and was always talking about her wedding.

"I know Marissa gets annoying, but don't worry they will be getting married in one month and then you will no longer have to hear about it because her best friend will be here to listen"

"How could I forget? I swear if Marissa is not talking about her wedding its how she is worried about and misses her best friend who apparently doesn't have a name"

Seth laughed "I know"

"Well let's not keep the love birds waiting" Stevie said grabbing Seth's hand. He took her hand and they walked away.

As they got in the car Summer and Adam were only holding hands. Neither was saying anything because both were deep in thought. All Summer could think about is how she had two men who were the complete opposites. She loved how Zach was caring, attentive and was always the perfect gentleman. Although she was worried about his career and if she might eventually get bored with Mr. Perfect. Adam on the other hand was more free, he was still caring but only at certain points, he was somewhat self absorbed and she didn't know if he was using for leverage to him own career. She did thought love that he was spontaneous, he always made her laugh and he was very creative. Needless to say she really didn't know who she was going to pick at this moment all she knew is chances were she wouldn't until the final moment and who's name came out of her mouth is the one who she would pick.

"So what did you think of the show?" Adam asked getting uncomfortable with the silence

"It was good, I didn't realize you guys was that big"

"Yeah, we had a pretty good momentum going, but I slowed it down" Adam said honestly

"Oh" Summer got the hint "Was it worth it?"

"Every second of it" he replied locking eyes with her

Summer smiled at him but in her head she was screaming why he couldn't be a jerk so this could be easy for her. "So what is the second part of this date?"

"Well knowing Mr. Perfect he already took you for lunch and I'm guessing you're not hungry yet so that was out of the question" Adam was interrupted by Summer

"Stop stalling and just tell me" she said

"Well I remember hearing that you like figure skaters so I got some tickets to see a show or something" Adam said

"How did you know that I only told Cohen that?" Summer asked

Adam freaked hoping she wouldn't realize that "I overheard him talking on the phone the day he got eliminated and he reserved the tickets, but then he was kicked off and his tickets showed up and I kept them just so you would still get your dream date" Adam admitted

Summer just sat there for a moment and didn't know what to say. He used Cohen as leverage. That was the least of her thoughts all she could think of how sweet that was, she felt tears forming in her eyes.

"Well let's not let the good time go to waste"

Adam smiled and relaxed "You're not mad?"

"I think it's kind of cowardly that you did that but the fact you were honest about it I don't really know what to think"

"Well the first night we got here they asked us to have something planned so if we got to this point we would be ready. I had the band thing set up so I used that then we were going to go to some theme park and spend the rest of the day there, but I thought you might like this better"

Summer still couldn't get the thoughts of Seth out of her head "They both sound great but thank you"

The car came to a stop and Adam slid out first and then helped Summer out. "Let's just have fun" he whispered in her head before kissing her and walking inside with her. They got to there seats just as the skaters began to take the ice. As they began skating Summer attetion was fouced on the skaters and Adams was on her. She felt him watching her and would glance at him everyone in a while. Once there was a break she looked over at him.

"Have you even been watching the skaters?"

"No watching you is so much better" Summer stuck her tongue out at him and he laughed.

Just as Summer was going to refocus her attention she noticed the look in Adams eyes go from playful to serious. When the skaters took the ice she continued to lock eyes with him. She could tell he was now nervous and this was a new side of him.

"Are you okay?" She asked

"Yeah, I just wanted to tell you something before I chicken out"

"okay" Summer said nodding her head urging him to continue

"Summer I love you, and I just want you to know that no matter who you choose tonight I am happy for you, because I want nothing more than for you to be happy."

Summer leaned over and gave Adam a tender kiss. That moment she had never hated him more because up until that moment she was sure she was going to pick Zach, but Adam was always making that one last play at the last moment that kept her interested.

That conversation was the last thing Adam had said to Summer besides a kiss good bye before Summer went off to think about her decision.

She sat in her room trying to figure out just who she would choose and couldn't really understand why Seth kept popping into her head. All she could really think was that Seth was the perfect mix between the two guys she was choosing from right now but the opportunity had passed and plus he had already moved on. She sighed moving on.

"Why is love so hard?" she said to herself before there was a knock at the door.

"Yeah" one of the producers walked in "How's it going?" she asked

"This is the worst moment of my life. How am I supposed to choose?" Summer said truthfully

The girl smiled softly "You just do what your heart tells you and forget everything else"

Summer nodded her head in agreement "I guess but what if that is not an option"

"Then do it scientifically and weigh out the pros and cons of both the guys then compare them from there"

Summer smiled at this idea "That's a better idea"

"Glad I could help because they want your decision in a half hour"

"Okay I should be ready" Summer said jumping up and grabbing a piece of paper.

"Good luck" the girl said leaving the room and leaving Summer scribbling on a piece of paper.

It was a half hour later and both guys were standing there waiting. Summer put the finishing touches on her make up before opening her bedroom door. The crew had set up this whole romantic scene for the finale. Apparently this was also supposed to be a formal dress code because the guys were in suites and Summer wore a dress that was designed just for her. She walked downstairs and saw Zach and Adam standing there. She smiled at both of them knowing that as hard as it was going to be she was making the right decision. She walked over to them and stood in the middle of them both of them looking at her. She turned to her left and locked eyes with the guy.

"You are an amazing guy, sometimes I even think your to amazing for me. I love how passionate and caring you are, but I sometime worry about your career. I love how you make me feel like the only girl in the room and how you say the right things at the right time. But I don't know if its really going to be a long term thing between us and that is why I am sorry but your shot of love has ended"

A/N

I know its kind of a bad place to end it but I chose to do that for a little suspense and what not.
