Additional Summary: It's been a month since the surgery and Summer is slowly recovering, but is trying not to fall into a deep depression. She had her dreams shattered and taken away from her by Mark and is finding it hard to refocus. Matt and Jeff assign Steve to be her 'full time babysitter' until she's fully healed and is able to get back into the ring. He comforts her and lets her confide in him when she needs him the most, along the way they become best friends but is it something more? Are both in denial of their true feelings?
In addition to this... Summer's road to recovery is quite bumpy as she encounters more crazy problems, the wrestlers court trial is set to take off soon and punishments are given out. Mark is finally ready to tell her about his past in hopes that she'll understand why he is so grouchy, and is pleased when she agrees to form a friendship with him, but when both get to know each other they both start feeling more than just friendship. Summer realises that she is falling for 2 different men.. but which one can steal her heart and be the love she's always dreamed of?

Not fair, not fair, not fair, not fair! Is all that ran through Summer's head as she watched the guys wrestling in the ring. She missed it so much it felt like her arm had been torn off. Being a month out of surgery Summer was starting to feel down about everything, her outlook on life changed and now she thought that everything just sucked. Everybody tried to comfort her but she didn't want it, she didn't need sympathy… she needed to get back in the ring and do what she does best.

"Summer are you still moping?" Matt asked his baby sister as he looked at her sitting in the front row of the stands. Everybody was practising for their matches later that night for Smackdown and Summer always came to watch. But lately Matt noticed his sister didn't look happy anymore and he had been growing concerned.

"I'm not moping" is all Summer grumbled back making Matt raise his eyebrows, "Are you sure? That's what it looks like to me"

"How the hell do you think I feel Matt? Watching you guys wrestling knowing I can't for another 11 months"

"I know sis, I know it's hard but please don't get miserable on us, we need your support like we're supporting you" again Summer just grumbled something that went unheard. She knew she was acting like a brat but at this point she didn't care.

"Sums why don't you sit in the back for a while and calm down" Jeff said also getting worried about his sisters mood swings.

"Fine!" Summer said getting up from her seat and walking towards the backstage area. She really couldn't care less if she looked like a brat having a temper tantrum; it was hard to step away from something you loved so much.

"She gonna be alright?" Matt turned around and looked at Mark who seemed quite concerned.

Mark had done as he'd said and tried to sort everything out within the past month, he'd talked to some of the guys and tried to make peace with everybody. Some accepted but some still figured what Mark had said was true and still tried to cause trouble. This irritated Mark who was thankful that the Wrestlers Court trial began tomorrow at the arena, so once and for all this mess could be sorted properly.

"She'll be fine Mark, interesting to see you care though"

Mark turned to face Matt and said "Like I've said before, I do care about her, hell it was me who put her out of action for a year. I feel awful knowing she's going through this because of me"

"She'll be alright soon, stop worrying, it isn't like you to act all soft and weepy. Go back to being tough man deadman and everything will be normal"

Mark again looked at Matt and sighed, is that how everybody saw him? Big tough and mean deadman who hates everybody? Everybody thought he was rotten to the core but that wasn't true, he'd told nobody about his divorce except Glen and now he felt it had to be known to some people. That way they'd understand why he was so mean all the time, especially towards women.

"Want me to go check on her?" Steve asked standing next to Matt, Jeff and Mark.

"Yeah Steve if you don't mind" Jeff said smiling at his close friend.

"Okay, I've pretty much become her personal baby sitter anyway so this should be easy" then he exited the ring to go and look for Summer.

Steve had been there for Summer throughout the last 4 weeks, helping her around the hospital getting anything she wanted. He was the one that was there when Matt and Jeff had to return to work and he was there for her when she flew back to Carolina to spend time with her dad. He'd even offered to take her back to his ranch in Texas where he could be there all the time. He knew how much Summer appreciated his help, but she was going through a depressive phase and needed more support now than she did before.

Eventually Steve walked backstage, through the gorilla and down through the tunnel towards some crates where he'd spotted Summer. She was sitting on one of them looking down in the dumps. "Summer darlin', you okay?" Summer slowly looked up, still feeling the pressure from the neck brace she had to wear and sighed when she saw it was Steve.

"I don't know Steve, my emotions are just running wild" Steve smiled a little as he sat down on the crate next to her, making Summer smile. He was sitting so close their arms and legs were touching and she could smell his cologne making her senses go crazy.

"I know how you feel sweetheart, it was difficult for me too watching the guys wrestling knowing that I couldn't do it"

"So what was your solution?"

"To leave the business for a while just to clear my head" Summer looked a little scared about that and Steve noticed.

"Calm down Summer it'll be alright, there's more to life than just wrestling. One day you'll come to realise that. I don't mean leave the business permanently, just take a few months out to sit at home and try and focus on something else"

"But I'll go stir crazy at home, dad is never there and my apartment would feel like a prison"

"Well my offer still stands"

"What offer?"

"The offer I made to you to say you could come home and live with me in Texas"

"Steve I couldn't do that"

"Why?"

"I'd drive you crazy"

"How?"

"I eat random things, I'd annoy you by being depressed all the time, sometimes I like to sleep during the day and stay up at night"

"Don't worry I'll adapt to all these things, like you'll get used to me" Summer mulled it over in her mind, living with Steve would be a lot of fun and it'd take her mind off of everything.

"Okay then"

"Okay what?"

"I'll come live with you" Steve's face lit up and he smiled widely, "Really?"

"Yeah, really"

"Well that's wonderful darlin' I'm happy you agreed" Then he put his arm around her and squeezed making Summer smile.

"So when do you want me to move my stuff?"

"As soon as possible darlin', but you'll have to take it easy with the lifting and carrying, I'll fly out to Carolina with you and pack your stuff up and then we'll arrange for it to be transported over to Texas and then we'll take it from there" Summer smiled widely, spending time with Steve made her have butterflies in her tummy but she didn't know why, what was going on with her?

She shook her head from her thoughts and said "Thank you Steve, for everything"

"No worries darlin'" Steve smiled as she put her arm around his waist and sighed happily.

"You ready for tomorrow?"

"Huh?"

"Wrestlers Court sweetie"

"Oh yeah… that"

"What's wrong?"

"Just worries me that's all"

"Why?"

"I have no idea what happens, the punishments, the whole trial thing, I don't even know what to say"

"You just have to say what happened in the 3 months Dawn and Torrie bullied you, say what Mark did and make everybody see that you were right all along"

"That'll take ages though"

"Doesn't matter, it can take all day if need be"

"We here again tomorrow?"

"Yup, smackdown tonight and then it's a house show tomorrow night, but the arena should be free all afternoon so we'll hold the court then. And then we've got the weekend free to move in together" Steve gently nudged Summer who smiled again.

"Sounds like a plan"

"It does indeed, so when you heading back to the hotel?"

"I'm not sure, depends what dumb and dumber say really. I'm not supposed to leave without their say so"

"You're a grown woman Summer you can go if you want"

"I know that but they're my brothers and they're bound to worry, especially now that I'm injured"

"Well remember I'm the permanent baby sitter for you now"

"But that's different, we have fun"

"Yeah it is fun isn't it?"

"When are you gonna stop sharing hotel rooms with me?"

"I don't think I'm ever gonna stop, you need constant supervision with your neck injury" Summer frowned slightly. Ever since she returned on the road again, Matt and Jeff put Steve in charge of her. Wherever she went Steve had to be there, he didn't bother her though. But sometimes Summer felt like a prisoner and wanted some freedom. She wasn't even allowed to carry her suitcase or travel bags when going to the airports; Steve carried them due to the weight.

Even in the hotel he had to stay with her in the same room, but again he didn't bother her. He respected her privacy when dressing and showering and didn't even snore when sleeping, which was a big bonus. They had a lot of fun together but Summer was healing properly now and didn't think she needed a baby sitter anymore.

"Don't give me that look sweetheart, you know you can't be on your own. I know you and you'll try and do something you're not ready for and could injure yourself again" Summer just folded her arms and grumbled something making Steve smile.

"We don't want another repeat of the gym session do we?"

"No" Summer mumbled back frowning at the memory. Everybody had gone to the gym for their daily schedule and Summer wanted to come along too. But Steve constantly watched her and told her off for trying to lift weights she wasn't ready to use yet. The doctor instructed that she lift only 5 pound weights which felt like nothing so Summer tried to be daring but got stopped in her tracks by Steve. He wasn't angry with her though, just disappointed that she was disobeying orders.

"Stop moping Summer and smile, you've got a lot going for ya. Just because you're not in the ring doesn't mean you're outta the business. Now you've got the opportunity to explore the business and try out new things. The production crew like you, maybe you could work with them during the show, help with the music choices. You love that stuff"

"How'd you know all this stuff Steve?"

"Matt and Jeff never shut up about you, even when you weren't in this business they talked about you all the time, saying how'd you be a top diva and change everything. They love you so much"

Summer smiled and then sighed. "I've been driving a lot of people crazy with this depression thing haven't I?"

"Just a little bit"

"I'm sorry Steve, it's just the stress from not being able to wrestle, and then there's this wrestlers court tomorrow, I don't wanna face everybody and get tormented again like that. It was horrible and it's gonna be hard"

"Once everybody sees Mark admitting he was the one that was lying everybody's opinion is gonna change. They'll see that they were wrong and will come and apologise to you. They were the foolish ones and if they still have a problem then leave them to it. Soon they'll come round and see that they're being jackasses"

Summer smiled again at Steve who smiled back. There was something about her smile that was so damn infectious; she'd gotten under his skin in so many ways in the few months she'd got to know him. And now they were living together it was making Steve start to feel things he hadn't felt in years. "Steve, you okay?"

"Mmm?"

"You okay? You sort of went a bit distant then"

"I'm fine sweetie, just fine" Summer looked at him a bit skeptical. He was wearing a facial expression she couldn't quite read and she knew he was thinking deeply, but what about she didn't have a clue.

She'd been thinking about Steve a lot lately, he'd taken care of her and supported her through everything. It made her smile every time she thought about it.

"Now who's the one lost in thought?" Steve said nudging Summer again and smiled.

"Sorry, just thinking"

"Well we're both little thinkers today aren't we? Maybe we're thinking the same thing" Summer looked at Steve confused for a moment and was about to ask him about his comment but he beat her to it, "I'm thinking of heading back to the hotel soon to relax, you coming?"

"Yeah sure, I just need to tell Matt and Jeff and grab my bags and we can get going" Steve nodded and then hopped off the crate and helped Summer, who shivered when he touched her hands.

"You cold sweetie?" Steve asked noticing she'd suddenly got goose bumps.

"I'm okay" Summer eventually replied and then shook her head to rid herself of her thoughts of Steve touching her, what the hell was she thinking?

"Well let's go then sweetie" Steve said slowing pulling Summer along with him, as she'd suddenly got lost in a trail of thoughts that even confused her.

Why was she thinking about Steve like this? He was just her friend right?

An hour later Summer and Steve were back at the hotel relaxing beside the pool. They'd both said goodbye to Matt and Jeff who were happy to see Summer smiling again. But the one person who seemed put off about it was Mark, he'd frowned when he saw how close Summer was getting to Steve but Summer just decided to shrug it off. She was happy being around Steve, he was technically her best friend who she could trust with anything.

She'd told Mark that they couldn't be friends just yet and she meant it. Until everything was sorted with this wrestlers court, she couldn't quite grasp the concept of being friends with him. He was a mean cruel man and she didn't really want any part in that. Mark had promised to tell Summer all about his past and he'd made that promise 4 weeks ago and hadn't said a word, so he'd lied to her.

Summer frowned at that memory but nearly jumped out of her skin when she felt somebody flick water at her. She took her shades off and saw Steve floating around in the pool smiling, "Sorry sweetheart, you were too lost in thought so I thought I'd wake you up"

"You jackass, I'm soaked now!" Steve laughed his infectious laugh making Summer eventually crack and laugh too.

"You're such a kid" Steve smiled at that, then threw more water on her making her squeal, "Dammit Steve my robes are soaked!"

Steve laughed and said "Take it off then and get your ass in here"

"I can't... remember" she replied pointing to her neck brace but Steve said, "Don't worry about that, take it off and the water will help"

Summer looked hesitant which made Steve jump out the pool and walk over to where she was standing. "Summer I've gone through a similar neck injury to you, trust me the water will help and you can still swim about"

"Would you be able to help?"

"Of course I will, I'm not gonna let anything happen to ya" Summer smiled and then slowly reached up and unfastened the Velcro on her neck brace to take it off. She knew that the doctor didn't want her to wear it for much longer but she felt too scared not to wear it now.

Steve watched her in utter fascination, she was beautiful both inside and out and he found himself getting more and more into her. "Why you staring at me like that?" Summer asked curiously with a small smirk on her face making Steve shake his head to rid his thoughts.

"No reason, ready to jump in?" Summer nodded and then slowly unfastened the belt on her robe and slid it down her arms to reveal her bikini. It was midnight blue and showed off her curves and complimented her body perfectly. Steve had to blink twice and take a step back from her for a moment to catch his breath. She was stunning in his eyes and he found it hard to focus and control himself. What was wrong with him? Summer was his closest and best friend, he shouldn't be thinking like this.

"You okay?" Summer asked and reached out to touch his arm making him jump slightly from her touch. Summer was finding it difficult to focus on his face; instead she wanted to explore his body. His long muscular legs, fully toned stomach and big toned biceps were making her mind go crazy, he was only wearing blue swimming shorts and she wondered what was beyond that… wait… what the hell? Why was she thinking like this? Focus!

"I'm fine sweetie, lets start swimming" Steve eventually said, breaking the silence between them. They were now both finding it difficult to focus on each other without their eyes wondering. But Steve cleared his throat as he made his way towards the pool again and stepped into the warm water.

"Are you sure I'll be okay?" Summer asked quite worried as she stood on the first step to head into the pool while Steve stood thigh deep in the water waiting for her.

"Take my hands" is all Steve said making Summer shudder at the thought of touching his soft skin again. She shakily walked further into the water towards his out stretched hands and took them slowly. Then he guided her into the water and she felt embarrassed as he probably thought she was acting like a baby learning to first swim.

"Why you going so red sweetie?" Steve asked as he noticed Summer's cheeks burning a new shade of red.

"I just feel like a baby learning to swim"

Steve smiled and said "Well you wanted the help, But I could let you go" then Steve let her go as she was swimming toward the deep end, but she panicked slightly and grabbed onto Steve.

"You jackass don't do that!" Summer tried to say sternly but laughed at Steve's playful grin.

"Sorry sweetie, had to have my share of the fun"

"You've had the fun all afternoon" again Steve grinned but then looked at Summer who was supporting a strange facial expression. Then he realised that they were pressed up against each other with their faces mere inches away from each other. His arms were wrapped firmly around Summer's slim waist pulling her closer to him, and it was driving him crazy.

Summer had her arms wrapped around Steve's waist as well and she was fighting all kinds of urges. "Sho-should we erm… go for a sw-swim?" is all she managed to stutter out as was lost for words.

"Err Su-sure" is all Steve replied but still didn't let go of Summer who was looking slightly confused. She'd never been with anybody before, so this was all new to her. Is this what best friends normally did?

Steve reluctantly let go of her waist and then sighed to himself, what was happening here?

"You wanna race?" Summer asked breaking the silence that had broke out between them.

"You're challenging me?" Steve asked with raised eyebrows, which made Summer smirk, "Yeah, you scared?"

"Nothin' scares me sweetheart" Summer smirk grew wider, and then she splashed Steve before quickly swimming away from him. Her neck felt much better in the water and she could move easily. She heard somebody swimming up behind her and laughed because she knew it was Steve.

"That was downright cheating!" She heard him say behind her making her laugh again. "Whatever" then she tried to swim faster but knew she had to slow down and think about the condition of her neck. But she made it to the other end of the pool beating Steve and stopped swimming. Steve made it shortly afterwards and wiped the water out of his eyes.

"You cheated"

"I did not" Summer said innocently and tried to fight the smile creeping on her face.

"Did"

"Didn't"

"Did too"

"Did not"

"I hate you"

"I hate you too" Steve smiled widely at her quick responses and then laughed when she spat her tongue out at him. "I'll cut that thing off one day you keep doing that to me"

"Yeah, yeah" Steve cocked his eyebrow again making Summer laugh at him. But then a shiver ran through her and Steve noticed, "Maybe it's time we head inside for something to eat"

"I'd like that" Summer replied and then smiled, "You're paying though"

Steve groaned and said "Damn Women"

"Hey you're my babysitter remember, you buy me everything"

Steve looked at her innocent expression and said, "Watch your mouth little one"

"Sorry mister babysitter, I'll go to my room now" then she swam away quickly laughing as she imaged what Steve's facial expression must be.

Steve watched her swimming away and smiled widely, Summer was going to be a handful, especially now that she agreed to live with him until her neck healed. But a part of him was really looking forward to it; the other part though was confused about the feelings she gave him.

Butterflies in his tummy and a grin that could reach his ears, none of his other best friends made him feel this way… why was she so special?

"Summer what are you doing to me?"

"So you been okay whilst we were at the arena?" Matt asked his sister as they tucked into their room service food. Smackdown had finished around 10ish so Matt and Jeff headed back to the hotel early to spend time with Summer, Hunter and Shawn who had both come along later in the day. They were both happy to see Summer and wanted to spend some time just hanging out with her tonight so they met up with Matt and Jeff after Smackdown.

"Yes Matt I've been perfectly fine, just spending some time with Steve"

"What did you get up to?"

"I'm going to take that as a non interrogational sexual question and say we just went swimming"

Matt smiled a little and said "I didn't mean it like that"

"Good"

"But now that you mention it, you and Steve are pretty close"

"Yeah"

"I don't know, just seems weird"

"Why weird?"

"You're always together hanging out"

"That's because you and dumbo over here made him my babysitter" Jeff poked his head up from his food and said "Who you calling dumbo?" it sounded muffled as he was talking with food in his mouth.

"Say it don't spray it Jeff" Summer said wiping off bits of food that Jeff had spat out.

"Sorry" came a muffled reply as he dug back into his food making Summer smile and shake her head.

"I know we made him your babysitter Sums, but we didn't say you had to hang out everyday, his job is to help you" Summer looked back down at her food and thought about that as it was true. Steve said he'd help her with everything whenever she needed him, and he was with her everyday. They spoke about everything and anything and could always make each other laugh. Then she thought back to the incident in the pool earlier today, his body was pressed up against hers and it felt… right…

"Sums, yoo-hoo… still with us?" Jeff said waving a hand in front of her face.

"Wh-what?"

"You alright?"

"I'm fine why?"

"It's just you went quiet when Matt said you hung out with Steve everyday, something happened?"

"No"

"Hmm that seemed a bit of a quick response… is somebody lying?"

"Nooooo" Summer said slowly making Jeff laugh, "Well you said my last answer was too quick so now that one was slow" again Jeff laughed and nudged his sister who nudged him back.

"So did something happen today?" Matt asked curiously as his sister did seem to be in denial.

"We were just hanging out by the pool"

"And?"

"Matt why'd you wanna know?"

"Because you're my sister and I would like to be informed if somebody is after your heart"

"My heart is still in my chest and I don't think anybody could take it away or steal it"

Matt smiled a little but said "Seriously Sums, is something happening between you and Steve?" Summer sighed, as she didn't know what to say.

Was something happening?

"I don't know Matt, he's my best friend"

"Ahem" Summer looked at both Hunter and Shawn who said that together, "You're my best friends too guys, you know I love you" they both smiled but continued to listen to Matt's interrogation of Summer's love life.

"Well how does he feel?" Matt continued asking questions and Summer just didn't know what to say.

"I don't know Matt I'm not exactly a psychic, he could turn around and say he hates me for all I know. He's difficult to read"

"I think he might like you"

"Matt please don't put those thoughts into my head, it's difficult enough"

"Why?"

"You know why, I'm completely inexperienced in this area"

"Seriously?" Hunter asked before realising he'd said it making Summer stare at him quizzically, "What I mean is… you've never had a boyfriend before?"

"Nope"

"So you're a…"

"Yes" Summer said cutting him off before he could say it. Yes she was a virgin but she wasn't ashamed of that. Most of her friends in college last their virginity at a young stupid age and ended up with unwanted kids. Summer didn't take that plunge and remained pure and totally inexperienced.

"Wow" is all Hunter said, again receiving a confused look off everybody. "I mean, Summer you're beautiful, you've never had a boyfriend?"

"Nope, couldn't find anybody decent. They were all jocks looking for one thing and I didn't want that. So I've remained untouched," Summer laughed at that last part… she sounded like a complete nerd. "Now all I need is the dorky glasses and I'm set for pulling off the geeky innocent angel look" everybody laughed along with her but soon Matt said, "I'm sorry to keep interrogating you Sums, but I'm just worried that's all. In case Steve tries something you're not comfortable with"

"Seriously Matt I'm fine, it's not even confirmed whether he does like me or not"

"Do you like him?"

"I don't know, what does that even feel like?" it was Shawn's turn to answer this question, he loved this girl and hearing that she was inexperienced made him even more protective over her.

"Do you get butterflies in your tummy and smile whenever he's around?"

"Yeah"

"And do you sometimes feel like you can't find any words to say, being afraid you'll say something stupid?"

"Yes, but I pretty much say stupid things to him all the time"

Shawn smiled and said "Our little girl is growing up"

Hunter pretended to wipe some tears away and said emotionally "We knew this day was coming Shawn"

"Oh shut up you asses," Summer said throwing some pillows at the guys making them laugh.

"Well it's true Sums, it's clear to me that you like him more than a best friend. You're cheeks are flushing now whenever his name is mentioned" Jeff said smirking at his sister who was trying to hide her burning cheeks.

"I'm just hot is all" Summer replied fanning herself.

"Yeah, right" Shawn said and then received another pillow flung at him by Summer.

"Even if I do like him, he probably doesn't like me"

"Somehow I don't think that's true, he's taking time out of his own day to spend time with you, always smiling and making you laugh, I think you two are just in denial and too afraid to say anything" Hunter said making Summer sit and think for a while, how would she approach him about this? Well never really… she couldn't do that… he was her best friend and that's how she wanted it to stay.

"I couldn't approach him about this, what if I say something and ruin our friendship? I couldn't afford for that to happen, he's my best friend I couldn't lose him"

"There you go with the denial again"

"No that's just pure fear"

Hunter smiled and said "You wouldn't lose him even if you tried, Steve wouldn't leave your side"

"Well that's good seeming as we're gonna live together soon" Summer clamped her hands over her mouth, completely regretting saying that.

"You're what?" all four men said together freaking Summer out. She hated when people did that.

"He asked me to live with him down in Texas, just until my neck is fully healed. I'd have some company then and wouldn't go stir crazy at home" All four men smirked at that, Steve was making this pretty obvious.

"Seriously guys stop with this, you know it freaks me out when a group of people do the exact same thing at the exact same time"

"How the hell do you cope in the ring then when the crowd cheers and chants at the same time?" Hunter asked with another smirk.

"I manage" is all Summer said shuddering slightly making Hunter laugh.

"You get weirder and weirder every day I'm with you"

"Thanks Hunter love you too"

Hunter smiled but said "Well I think Mr Steve Austin is giving the game away there really, he's basically asked you to spend every day with him by asking you to live with him. A pure sign he's comfortable around you and would like to get to know you and your habits at home"

"He only asked me to live with him until my neck has healed, then I'll come back to Carolina to be closure to you two" she motioned towards Matt and Jeff.

"Doesn't seem that way to me Sums, somebody has a secret admirer," Jeff said making Summer laugh.

"Eugh you four are worse than a group of gossiping women" they all laughed at that, making Summer laugh too.

"We care about you Summer, if anything happens then Steve will have a shit storm coming his way"

"Thanks dad" Summer said to Matt making him frown slightly, "We're just worried that's all, be careful if you get intimate with him"

"Whoa you've kinda stepped too far there Matt, nothing is gonna happen with us. I want us to stay friends and that's it. He's a great guy, I'm sure he'll find a more mature woman to settle down with"

"Yeah right… mature and uptight woman who would be a grouchy bitch… or a sweet young, charismatic crazy girl who loves life and lives it which ever way she chooses… hmmm that's a difficult choice" Hunter said and pretended to think making Summer smirk.

"If I hadn't of ran out of pillows I'd have flung another one at you"

"Aww too bad, I'm just gonna carry on saying stuff then and you can't hu- ouch!" Hunter said holding his arm when Summer threw her shoe at him.

Summer smiled and said, "Now, what were you saying?"

"That I erm… love you very muchly?"

"Nice save… anyway guys I'm gonna get some sleep"

"Aww going back to your room where Steve is waiting for you"

"Would you like the other shoe thrown at you?"

"Yes cause then I'd have them both and you'd never get them back"

"By all means keep them I've got hundreds of pairs"

"Oh wow I'm so honoured to accept this shoe, i'd like to thank my mom, my dad..," Hunter said pretending to be really emotional like he was accepting an award.

Summer laughed and said "I'm heading out guys, night" then she hugged every one of them before heading out the door to head back to her room. Then she realised Hunter was right… Steve was there waiting for her. He'd said he was heading to the gym and would be back before she went to bed.

The conversation she had with the guys was still fresh in her mind, the way they spoke like her and Steve were in a mature relationship made her even more confused than she was already.

Was she in denial? Did she like Steve? Did he like her? Could they be more than just best friends? Summer sighed as she walked down the corridor a confused and emotion fray train

"Dammit I'm gonna kill those guys!"
