Chibs stood there, completely and utterly confused by how Summer had reacted. He watched as she sat down on the couch and broke down into uncontrollable tears. He didn't know what was wrong or if he had done something to upset her. He shoved his hands in his pockets, unsure of how to deal with this.

Summer put her head in her hands and the sobs shook her entire body. Chibs kicked into gear in that moment. He rushed over to her and knelt down in front of her and ran his hands through her hair. He ran his hands over her shoulders and down her arms and despite how upset she was, the goose bumps spread over her arms faster than he could blink.

"Summer, sweetheart," Chibs said quietly his thick accent coming out, "What's wrong love?" Summer looked up and into Chibs' eyes, the tears glistening in hers. "I'm so sorry Chibs," she replied quietly as the tears continued to fall, "I thought I was ready for this. I was so ready for us...for us to give this a shot. But I don't think I can yet." Chibs looked at her and could tell that she was still destroyed over Opie. Despite his feelings for her, he knew that this was going to be hard for her. She had just ended an intense nine year affair and he couldn't expect her to be over it so quickly. "Summer, don't force yourself into a relationship with me," Chibs said as he reached up and wiped a few tears from her face, "Take your time to get over Opie and then when the time is right, you and I will be together...if that is still what you want."

Summer looked at him and his heart broke slightly. He knew that she couldn't rush into this with him, but he wished she would. He wanted to hold her so badly and love her the way she deserved to be loved. She reached out and ran her fingers through his hair and then down down the side of his face. He closed his eyes and sighed heavily as she moved her fingers gingerly over the scar on one side of his face. He reached up and held her hand against his face. Who knew you could fall for someone so quickly, he thought to himself.

"I just need a little more time Chibs," Summer whispered, "I don't expect you to wait for me, but I know it's you I want." "Love, You are the only one I want," Chibs replied quietly with her hand still pressed against his face, "I will wait as long as it takes." She smiled at him and leaned in and wrapped her arms around him and laid her head on his shoulder. "Thank you for understanding," she said quietly. He wrapped his arms around her and held her close. He breathed in the scent of her hair and lost himself in the moment. He didn't understand actually. He didn't understand how two people could invest in an affair for so long when they knew that nothing could or would come of it. But he wasn't going to push her on the subject, he would give her the time that she needed.

He reluctantly pulled away from Summer and stood up. She looked up at him and she looked exhausted. "Will you call me tomorrow?" He asked quietly, "I just want to know how you are doing." "Of course," she replied, "I'm thinking about heading home tomorrow. Got some studying to do and maybe it will be a good idea to be alone for a little bit." He didn't want her to go back to Stanford so soon, but if that's what she thought was best then he would have to let her go. "Ok love," he replied leaning in and kissing her on the forehead, " Drive safe." She smiled up at him and then without wasting more time he let himself out. The longer he was near her the more he wanted her.

Summer locked the door after Chibs left and then sat on the floor with her back against the door. She wanted him so badly, but every time she closed her eyes all she saw was Opie and that wasn't fair to Chibs. She put her head in her hands and let the tears fall down her cheeks. She didn't think it was possible, but Opie had ruined her for other men.

FLASHBACK

Summer stood in front of the mirror in one of the dorm rooms in the back of the clubhouse admiring how she made her grad gown look. She was three hours away from graduating and she couldn't have been more excited about it. Her plan was to graduate and then spend the summer traveling across the country with a few of her close friends from school and then she would give a year to the club before she went off to nursing school. She couldn't believe her graduation day was finally here.

Summer turned towards the door when someone knocked. "Come in," she called out quietly. The door slowly opened and one of her best friends and lover, Opie, walked in. He closed the door behind him and stood there just looking at her. "Even in a cap and gown you're gorgeous," he mumbled with a small smile playing across his lips. Summer smiled back as she reached up for her zipper. "How about in this?" she asked as she let the gown fall open. She was wearing a pair of blue lacey boy shorts and a blue bra. "Even better," he replied, his voice raspy.

Summer felt nervous and weary all of a sudden and Opie could see it in her eyes. "Nobody saw me come back here," Opie replied trying to reassure her, "the clubhouse was empty when I came in." She let out a sigh and then she let the gown fall off of her shoulders and onto the ground. "What are you waiting for then?" She questioned with a raise of her eyebrow. Within seconds Opie moved across the room and picked Summer up in his arms, crashing his lips against hers and wrapping her legs around his waist.

"Jesus, I missed you," he growled against her mouth. Summer giggled as she wrapped her arms around his neck. He had been on a bike trip with Jax, Clay and Tig for four days and she hadn't seen him since the afternoon before they had left. "I missed you too Ope," she whimpered, "Did you already go home?" He nodded his head before making his way down to her neck, slowly and teasingly running his tongue along her collar bone. "They're all doing good," Opie replied, "No more talk about home. I'm here for you."

That's all she needed to hear before she lost herself in him and in the moment. Summer knew that this was her biggest mistake and that in the end she was the one who would end up getting hurt, but he was everything that she needed and wanted in that moment. She knew that she should end it before it got too serious, but she was addicted to him and the way he made her feel.

In moments like this where they had a very limited amount of time, it was straight to the point. Opie pushed her panties to the side and she had already undone his pants and pulled him out. And like always, he was ready for her. Before they even hit the bed Opie lifted her hips and slowly lowered her down on him. They both groaned as he filled her up and she slowly moved on him as he continued to stand. He wrapped his arms tight around her and pressed his lips against hers in a passionate, and intense kiss. Summer whimpered against his lips as she rode him slowly. Each time the sensation grew and intensified and she didn't think she could hold on much longer. The next thing she knew, Opie had her on her back on the bed and he was thrusting hard and fast, holding her hands above her head. She cried out as his final thrust hit her exactly in the right place and sent them both into orbit. She dug her fingers into his back and he buried his face in her neck as they both came hard and fast.

After a couple moments he laid still on top of her and she traced circles across his sweaty back. "You're amazing Sum," he whispered, "I know it's only a matter of time before this will have to end." "I don't want to talk about that right now," she whispered, "I just want to enjoy the time I do have with you and worry about that when it actually happens...

BACK TO PRESENT

It was 6:00 am when Summer opened her eyes and she realized that she had fallen asleep the night before on the floor by the front door. She groaned just as her stomach lurched and she threw up all over the floor. She pushed herself up as fast as she could and ran to the bathroom before the next wave hit. She hunched over the toilet as wave after wave rushed over her and it felt like it was never going to stop. In that moment she wished that she was dead.

After a little while the vomiting finally stopped and she collapsed against the bathroom wall. "What the hell?" she mumbled to herself. She had no idea what was going on. She noticed a box of tampons on her shelf and she quickly did the math in her head. She wasn't late so she couldn't possibly be pregnant, but there was always that odd chance.

She tried to stand up, but at that moment she was just too weak to stand. She slowly crawled into the living room where her purse was and grabbed her cell phone and dialed the first person she knew could help her. "Hey Summer, what's going on?" Tara said happily, "Is everything ok?" Summer never typically called Tara at 6:30 am, so she was pretty sure that Tara was probably concerned. "I know you are on your way to work," Summer replied feeling exhausted and weak, "But do you think you could do a house call? I puked all morning yesterday and I woke up puking today and I feel like I'm about to again. I did the math and I don't think I'm pregnant, but maybe we should do one anyways..." "I'll be there in 10 minutes," Tara replied, "just have to run back inside and grab my personal stash of medical supplies and then I'll be there."

The phone clicked off and Summer quickly put the phone down and rushed to the bathroom as fast as she could, but she didn't make it. "Shit," she mumbled before it hit her again. After this wave was done she laid down on the ground and closed her eyes, wishing that it would just end.

Summer woke up a little while later and Tara was standing over her. "Hey," Summer whispered. Tara knelt down in front of her and felt her forehead and then checked her pulse. "Hey," Tara replied quietly obviously concerned by the situation, "I brought a pregnancy test, so we will do that first, but I think we can already rule that out. Besides Chibs, who are you with?" "Chibs and I are not together," Summer replied, looking down at her hands, "Last night I thought I was ready, but it is very clear that I'm not ready to move on." "How were you in a relationship that we didn't know about?" Tara questioned, "And who were you seeing?" "I was involved in a nine year affair..." Summer replied quietly, "...with Opie." There was a silence so thick in the air you could cut it with a knife before Tara said anything. "Jesus," Tara mumbled, " that must have been hard for you to call off. But now that you mention it, I can't believe I didn't notice it before."

Without another word, Tara helped Summer to the bathroom and handed her the test. "You do this and I'll clean up the hallway and living room," Tara said before closing the door. Summer sat down and put the test in the urine stream as the tears began to fall down her cheeks again. She didn't know how she had let the situation get so out of control. "I fell in love with him," she mumbled to herself, "that's how." She pulled the test up and stared at it until the results registered. Just as she had thought, she wasn't pregnant. "Thank God," she mumbled. She threw the test in the garbage and managed to open the door and walk down the hall towards the living room before she collapsed on the floor.

Tara ran into the living room and fell to her knees beside Summer. "What's going on Summer?" she asked with panic in her voice. "I'm not pregnant," Summer murmured, barely able to keep her eyes open, "I don't know what's wrong?" Summer struggled, but after a couple minutes she let the fatigue take over and everything went black.
