Seth hadn't left his room for the entire day. Summer had called him at least 5 times but he wasn't ready to tell her and he wasn't ready to accept for himself. He was hoping that she would change her mind and come back. Know that she had made a big mistake and remember what she said when Dawn Atwood did the same thing to Ryan just a while back, but as every minute passed Seth knew that he was being childish for thinking such things. There was a very silent knock on his door. He didn't even bother to respond figuring whoever it was would come in anyways, sure enough he heard the door open.

"Seth" his aunt said softly

Seth sat up in his bed a little looking over at his aunt. He was already sick of the pity looks he got from the 4 people that knew. Those being Julie, Marissa and Jimmy Cooper and his Aunt Hailey.

"You hungry?" she asked sitting on the side of his bed

"Not really" Seth said quietly

"Do you wanna talk?" she asked thinking that for sure Seth would start to ramble.

"No" he said quickly

Hailey watched him for a minute knowing not to push him to talk. "Okay, well if you do I am downstairs"

"Okay'

Hailey then got up and left the room. She went downstairs to the kitchen and found Marissa making a sandwich. "Did you get Ryan to eat something?"

"Yeah" Marissa replied then paused and looked up at Hailey "How's Seth?"

"He's not talking… do you think he has told Summer yet?" Hailey asked

"No, otherwise she would be here making him eat something then dragging him around looking for his mom"

Hailey nodded her head "Can I have her number?"

Marissa paused for a moment thinking about her answer "I know she should hear this from Seth but if he's not talking then someone needs to tell her. I will call her after I take the sandwich to Ryan."

"Okay thanks I am going to see how your parents are doing with Sandy"

Marissa took Ryan his sandwich and he mumbled a thank you then she excused herself to go call Summer. She dialed her best friends number and waited. When Marissa thought for sure Summer was going to answer she was about to hang up the phone and try Summers house but suddenly Summer picked up.

"Cohen?" she said out of breath

"No sorry to disappoint Sum its just me" Marissa said trying to act normal just for a moment

"Oh sorry Coop, are you at the Cohen's because I have tried calling Seth like 5 times and he is not answering his phone and yesterday I got a weird call from him and I knew something was up but he played it off saying he was bored and that he would just wait for Ryan, but I think something was up. Not to mention since when does Cohen not take my calls"

"Sum…. Your doing it again"

"Doing what?" Summer asked

"The rambling"

"I am going to kill Cohen, he is rubbing off on me way to much"

Marissa sighed wishing that Summer wouldn't have said that because she knew that Summer was rubbing off on Seth and that is why he wasn't talking to anybody right now.

"Look Sum… the reason Seth called you yesterday and the reason that he is not taking your calls today is… well… you know how after Caleb's funeral Kirsten got a little tipsy?"

"Yeah" Summer said worried

"Well turns out she had been doing these kinds of things for a while and they tried holding an intervention for her yesterday and now she is gone"

Summer dropped her phone. Kirsten Cohen was like a mother to her and she could only imagine the pain that both Seth and Ryan were going through. She heard Marissa voice faintly through the phone but was too shocked to respond. Finally after a minute she slowly reached down and picked up the phone.

"I am on my way Coop" she said rushed and then closed her phone running around her room trying to gather something. She packed a couple outfits, Princess Sparkle, her cell phone charger and her diary. She thought all these things would help her help Seth. She ran downstairs and was stopped by her dads voice.

"Where are you going?" he asked

"Co… I mean Seth's"

"Why?"

"He needs me right now Kirsten left yesterday"

Neil was shocked by this news "Why?"

"It's a long story and I don't know it all to well"

"Oh okay, well just call me if you need anything okay sweetie" Neil said kissing the top of her head

"Thanks daddy"

After Summer left, Neil went to his office but left Gloria who had been listening to his and Summer conversation in the kitchen. Gloria wasted no time spreading the word that the Cohen's so despartly wanted to keep to themselves.

Hailey opened the door and was happy to see Summer with a bag.

"He is in his room" she told Summer

"Thanks… oh and I am sorry to hear about everything"

For the first time Hailey knew what it felt like to see the pity in someone's eyes towards her since Kristen left, she didn't really care though. She was more worried about how these three men were going to move on without Kirsten.

"Thanks, but Seth needs you more"

"Right" Summer then made her way upstairs. She didn't even both knocking she just walked in the room.

There was no sound in the house which was very unusual for the Cohen household. Its what Summer loved about the house. There was always somebody to talk to and there was always something going on. Now the house seemed so dead and empty. As she was walking into Seth's room she saw Julie and Jimmy Cooper standing at the end of the hall whispering among themselves. She then felt bad for Sandy who was probably locked away in his room. She gave them a sad smile before walking into the room.

She walked in Seth's room and felt tears form in her eyes when she saw his red puffy eyes. He wasn't looking at her, she was grateful because she quickly regained her composure. She needed to be strong for him. She sat on the side of his bed and took his hand in hers. He was still in the same outfit as yesterday she knew because they went to breakfast yesterday morning. Now only 24 hours later everything was a mess.

"Hey Cohen" she whispered

He looked at her and gave her a small sad smile.

"I brought Princess Sparkle for Captain"

"He is a mess right now I don't think she should see him like this" Seth said hoarsely

"Well she is worried about Oats and wants to be there for him"

Seth didn't know how to reply to this so he just nodded his head. Summer sat the plastic horse on the nightstand before laying next to Seth laying herself over him listening to his heartbeat.

"I know its hard Cohen, but its not your fault"

"Like hell it isn't first I sailed away, then I wasn't even strong enough to go to the stupid intervention. I heard her yell that she couldn't have a problem, because if she did I would be there with them and that they were all over reacting."

"Cohen"

"She left after that… that was the last thing she said" Seth whispered as tears fell from his eyes

Summer rolled over so she could look him in the eyes "Cohen its not your fault. There were other things like your grandfather dieing, I noticed some tension between your mom and dad, not to mention Hailey walking in and out, your nana's cancers was hard on her. There were a million things going on so don't blame yourself because your mom loved you"

"Then why did she leave me?"

"Because she is not thinking clear right now, the alcohol and grief is clouding her thoughts and after a while when they both wear off she will be back"

"Then why isn't your mom here and what about Dawn?"

"That's different"

"How, you told me that your mom left because she was struggling with a drug problem. Dawn left because she was drinking and doing drugs. So how is my mom going to be different?" Seth had pulled away from Summer and was standing up looking down at her.

Summer had to swallow her tears at the hurtful things Seth was saying. "Cohen"

"Answer my question" Seth said determined

"Because your mom actually loved you, my mom and Ryan's were different"

"How?"

"I told you because she loved you"

"Bullshit" Seth yelled

Summer stood in the silence taken back by Seth's actions and words.

"Seth, if you lose faith now" Summer was stopped because Seth raised his hand

"I don't want to hear it… I think you should leave"

Summers jaw dropped "Seth… I want to help you"

"I don't need help" he said bitterly and when she looked at him she was reminded of her conversation with Marissa after her own mother left.

Summer stood up and faced Seth. "I will leave my dairy from after my mom left. It pretty much has every feeling and thought I went through for the a year after. If you need to talk Cohen I am here"

"Just go" Seth whispered looking away as more tears fell

Summer wanted to say something but didn't know what to say. "I love you Cohen" she whispered then ran out of the room scared to what his reply would be.

"I love you to Summer" he whispered when he heard the door slam shut .
