So this is the sequel to Last Summer…Or is it? I got a lot of good responses, so I figured I would write a sequel! I hope everyone enjoys it!

New Beginning

Summer wiped a tear away from her face. She didn't even know why she was crying! It wasn't like Newport held a bunch of great memories for her. In fact, the only half bearable year of high school was Senior year. And that was only because of Cohen.

She still couldn't believe that things had ended up the way they had. Just a few days ago, she was a complete emotional mess, thinking that she would be the only one not going to USC. In fact, the road had been really tough. She didn't even apply til early summer. Then she was waitlisted, and had made the mistake of lying to Cohen. Summer let out a small sigh. She was just so thankful things had worked out…

Seth heard the small sigh next to him, as he sat in a hard plastic airport chair. He reached over and grabbed Summer's hand. She glanced over at him, a small smile on her lips.

"Are you okay?" Seth whispered.

Summer sniffed, "Yeah…I'm fine…"

"Are you sure?"

"Cohen. I'm fine. I'm just tearing up for some reason…I don't know. I've lived here for so long, and I hated almost every single minute of it. But now, I'm sad to leave…"

Seth knew what she was talking about. He had been the biggest geek until about two years ago. He hadn't known the feeling of true happiness until the last few years…until Summer. It was still sad to leave.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

"Oh my god…I can't believe we're leaving, Ryan!" Marissa squealed.

"You don't sound very broken up about it!" Ryan replied laughing.

"Because I'm not. I'm so excited to leave…nothing but bad things have happened for me in Newport…"

"Hey! What about me?" Ryan asked faking hurt disbelief.

Marissa giggled. "Oh that's right…I forgot about YOU…"

Ryan shook his head. He WAS sad to leave Newport. It had given him a new life, a second chance. But new opportunities awaited him. And for that he was excited.

"Oh, my baby! It seems like you were just starting kindergarten!" Kirsten sobbed as she pulled Seth into a hug.

Seth ducked his head ashamed, but secretly happy. "Come on Mom! We're gonna be back for Thanksgiving. And then you can cater to my every need!"

Kirsten snorted, but still kissed his cheek, as she looked away, focusing her attention on Ryan. "And you. You are just as much my son as Seth is, even though we have absolutely no relation! I'm so glad you stayed with us…take care of everyone out there…"

Ryan hugged her back tightly, not wanting to show the emotion on his face.

Next Kirsten turned to the two girls next to her. "Summer, Marissa…I love you two so much! Take care of our boys, because you know how much help they need! Thank you for always being there for my boys…" she sobbed as she pulled the two tightly into a hug.

Sandy laughed. "Come on honey. They don't even LIVE with us! Allright guys, you better get going," as he heard the announcement of the plane boarding. "I love you all! And we'll see you at Thanksgiving…"

Summer gazed at the two adults in front of her. The Coopers had left 10 minutes ago, and her father hadn't been able to make it, because of his schedule. Big surprise. But Summer knew that the Cohen's were more like family to her than even her father. They were always there, always comforting, and always funny.

Seth placed a hand on the small of her back and began to lead her down toward the gate. She turned around, and gave one last wave to the Cohen's. They returned the wave, giving her a watery smile.

"I'm gonna miss this…"

"I know sweetie. But just think! A new place plus same Cohen equal a fun time! We're gonna have a blast! I mean think about it Sum! COLLEGE!" Seth replied, wrapping his arms around her as they walked down the hallway towards the plane.

"I don't know about the 'same Cohen' thing, but I AM excited! COHEN WERE GOING TO COLLEGE!" Summer screamed.

The two people in front of them jumped, as Ryan and Marissa scurried on the plane, shielding their faces from the embarrassing twosome.

"Summer! God you are so loud!" Seth whispered, desperately trying not to laugh.

Summer dissolved into giggles, burying her face in Seth's chest. She gazed up at Seth's laughing eyes, and raised up on her tippy toes to kiss him lightly on the mouth. Seth deepened the kiss, finally pulling away, realizing the jumpy couple in front of them were now giving them weird looks. Seth looked into Summer's eyes sheepishly.

"I guess we're the entertainment now…" nodding to the couple.

Summer glared at the two, who quickly turned around, no doubt talking about Seth and Summer. Then she looked up to Seth.

"I love you Cohen…"

"I love you too Sum. Here's to new beginnings…"

Summer sighed, this time happily. A new beginning, with Cohen by her side. It was just what she needed.

I know it was short, but it's just sort of a filler chapter! Kind of getting back into the swing of things…there WILL be drama…I just haven't decided what, and how much. It won't be a lot don't worry! And believe me, I DO NOT do sad endings. Sooooo it will be fluffy, with a teensy bit of drama! I hope everyone continues to read…and PLEASE REVIEW! I LOVE TO GET THEM!
