It had been a week since Seth and Summer crossed paths at the family dinner. Seth avoided any opportunity that he might even have to talk about Summer. Meanwhile his current girlfriend seemed to turn into her best friend and was now into Marissa wedding more then ever.
"Seth, I am meeting Sum and Rissa for lunch at the pier" Stevie announced
Seth rolled his eyes, but Stevie couldn't see him "You don't have to tell me everything you are doing" he said annoyed
"I was telling you so you didn't plan on having lunch with me silly" she said sweetly
Seth looked over at her "I can eat lunch by myself I am a big boy"
Stevie giggled, and Seth cringed. "Well I better get going I don't want to be late"
Seth just nodded his head not tearing his attention away from the TV. Stevie waited for a second before throwing her hands up dramatically "Fine, bye" she said while stomping away. As soon as Seth heard the door slam he picked up his cell phone and dialed his brothers number.
"She is like dating Sophie, she is so immature"
"Hello to you Seth, I am doing fine thank you for asking" Ryan said dully
"Man I don't have time for that, I have BIG problems"
"What would that be?" Ryan asked feigning ignorance
"First Summer the girl who I fell madly in love with before she shattered my heart is your finace's best friend and two my girlfriend is an immature, airhead who I can't stand"
Ryan had to fight back his smile knowing it would only make Seth freak out. "So"
"What do you mean so?"
"Look break up with Stevie, she's not right for you and get over Summer because she has a boyfriend"
Seth sighed "If only it were that easy"
"Why is it not?"
"Well I cant dump Stevie because then I am single and then all I have is time to pine over Summer and that also means I show up to you wedding single and if I remember right by that time mystery man will be revlied and I will look like an even bigger tool"
"Huh"
"That's all your going to say is huh"
Ryan could no longer hold back his smiled "Yep"
Seth groaned "I hate you"
"Fine then I won't tell you the top secret information that Marissa shared with me about Summer"
"Like you know anything and since when are you one for gossip"
"Since it might make this even funnier"
"That means its not good for me"
"Maybe" Ryan teased
There was a silence "Damn it Ryan what do you know?"
"I know that Summer regrets letting you go"
Seth was silent again "I have to go" he said then hung up the phone, he needed more advanced girl advice. He then dialed Anna's number.
"Seth do you realized who you called?" Anna asked shocked
"Yes I do, but that's because if you want to make it up to me then I need your help"
"What did you do this time?"
Seth took a deep breath "So last week at family dinner Marissa best friend finally showed up, who turned out to be Summer. Yes the Summer who broke my heart, I thought if I just gave it time I would get over her but now I don't have time in fact I have just the opposite. On top of that my brother who enjoys my pain just informed me that Summer regrets letting me go. So now I don't know what to do"
"Uh huh, are you going to tell me anything new?"
"How would you know all of this?"
"I talk to your mom who said you looked miserable when you saw Summer again and so did she"
"So what do I do?"
"Well do you want her back?"
"No, yes, I don't know"
"Well that is what you have to figure out"
"How am I supposed to do that?"
"Well why do you want her back?"
"Because she is funny, smart, beautiful, and a million other great things"
"Why don't you want her back?"
"Because she tore my heart out and doesn't trust me"
"Now you have decided which side outweighs the other"
Seth sighed "I guess"
"Don't forget to figure out what you want that gem you have now" Anna said sarcastically
"You have been talking to my mom too much"
"Enough to know that the girl is kinda slow"
Seth smiled to himself "Yeah, well she was part of my plan to get over Summer"
Anna laughed "Obviously that's not working"
"That is why I called you, I mean I am that desperate"
"That's low Cohen"
"You have taken lower Stern"
They both laughed "Thank you Anna" Seth said seriously
"Any time, but your dad is calling for me so I have to go"
"Bye and Anna can you keep this on the DL don't really want the rents all up in my business"
"Got it"
Seth hung up the phone. He then got up and went to find some paper he was going to do this the logical way.
---------------
Summer and Marissa were on there way to the pier. "So why is Seth's girlfriend meeting us again? Summer asked
"Is some one jealous of her?" Marissa teased
"No, but I am sick of her"
"Me too, but we have to be nice to her for Seth"
"I don't have to do anything for Cohen"
"Then do it for me"
Sumer sighed "I mean the girl is slow, what does Seth see in her?"
"Nothing, he just wanted to get his mind off of you"
Summer didn't say anything
"Look Sum we both know you are not over him and as good of an actress you are, you cannot hide the fact that you didn't get closure and maybe that is all you need."
Summer sighed "Maybe, but we both are dating"
"Well considering you guy is no where around and Stevie is always with us we can use that"
"Are you suggesting we cheat?" Summer asked shocked
"I am suggesting you get closure"
"How?"
"Well, he is probably sitting at home alone now"
Summer though about it for a moment "And Stevie expects both of us"
"Yeah, but don't you have to go handle something that is urgent"
Summer sat there thinking for a moment "I don't know how to get to his apartment"
Marissa reached over and hit a button on the navigation system and the GPS ladies voice filled the car.
"Destination?"
"Seth's" Marissa said
"Calculating"
Marissa smiled as she parked the car "Next excuse?" she said smugly
"I don't know about this"
"Sum, just do it for both of you"
Summer sighed "He is just going to kick me out"
"Well then you get closure"
Summer groaned realizing Marissa was not going to let her get out of this "Fineee"
Marissa smiled smugly as she got out of the car. "I will call you when we are done"
Summer didn't say anything just got into the driver seats. Marissa smiled and began walking over to Stevie.

Seth had just gotten out of the shower when he heard a knock at the door. Confused as to who it might me he grabbed a towel and wrapped it around himself. He went downstairs to investigate and was surprised when he saw Summer pounding on the door, so surprised he didn't think about going to get dressed before answering the door. He opened the door and Summer stood there shocked.
"Do you always answer you door pretty much naked"
Seth blushed a little "That's besides the point what are you doing here?"
"We have to talk"
"Come in, I will go get dressed" Seth said already making his way back upstairs
Summer walked inside and shut the door then began looking around. Obviously Stevie and Seth were not living together because the place screamed Seth. There was a Playstation set up in the living room, dirty dishes on the counter and no pictures anywhere.
Seth came down about five minutes later. "So you wanted to talk" he said scaring Summer who was looking out the window
She turned around and smacked Seth "God, could you give me a warning"
Seth laughed to himself "Sorry"
They stood in the silence for a moment, until Summers phone rang. She looked at the caller id. "I have to take this " she said then excused herself out of the room. "Hello" she said into the phone as she closed the front door behind her.
"Hey" a males voice said
Summer suddenly felt guilty "I miss you" he said
Summer gave a small smile "I miss you too"
"So do you think that you could come over today?"
"You know I can't do that"
There was an annoyed sigh "So what is the point of dating then"
Summer rolled her eyes it hadn't been a month and it started. "It's part of the contract" this really was normal, she would start dating a guy and in a couple of weeks and sometimes months they would get impatinent of her career and start acting like this. "I have to go" she didn't even bother waiting for a reply and shut her phone. She went back inside to find Seth standing in the same spot waiting.
"This was a mistake just forget I ever came" Summer said as she stood across the island from Seth
"What you came to me" he said confused
"I just said it was a mistake"
Seth sighed and made a mental tally in the negative section of his list. "Sorry" Summer whispered and left leaving a very confused Seth behind.
