Author's Note: I haven't really tried to write a Seth/Summer fic. I doubt my ability to do so. But everyone keeps telling me that I should write one. So I'm going to try…and if it sucks, I can always delete it.
Thanks for the inspiration…I hope this goes well. LoL.
Disclaimer: I don't own Seth or Summer, we all know that. Nor do I own Yellowcard and their wonderful lyrics.
This can be set somewhere, anywhere…I don't care. If it really matters I'll make up a time setting later…how about after Season 1's Finale…except Seth comes home a little earlier. Yeah, that sounds good.
Read and Review…tell me what you think. Not sure how long this should be.
You guys Rock! -J

Here I go so dishonestly
Leave a note
For you my only one
And I know
You can see right through me
So let me go
And you will find someone
Summer listened to this song more than a million times since he left. She didn't know why. She hated whiny music. But this song was on the radio the day he left, and it just really got to her.
She still didn't understand why he left. With only a note. A stupid note.
Here I go scream my lungs out
And try to get to you
You are my only one
I let go but there's just no one
That gets me like you do
You are my only, my only one
After all they'd been through, he left her. Didn't he know that she could help him through everything? She though that they had something more…that he trusted her. Why did everything have to be about him?
The song played again, starting over…repeat was a glorious thing.
Broken this fragile thing now
And I can't, I can't pick up the pieces
I've thrown my words all around
But I can't, I can't give you a reason

Seth sat alone, waiting for time to fly by. He had another sailing lesson soon, and Luke was with his girlfriend. He listened to his iPod. It was playing one of his favorite songs.
I feel so broken up
And I give up
Just want to tell you so you know
Here I go scream my lungs out
And try to get to you
You are my only one
I let go but there's just no one
That gets me like you do
You are my, my only one
He felt bad for what he did to Summer. But Seth didn't want to go back to being the Seth Cohen nobody knew.
He knew that eventually everyone would ignore him again without Ryan, including Summer.
He didn't know if he could live being like that again. He knew he couldn't.
He had called her at least a thousand times, but she never answered. It was always her voice mail.
He wanted to apologize and explain the things he couldn't in the note he left her…he wanted to come home…but he needed Ryan to be there too.
His phone buzzed in his pocket.
"Hello?"
"Cohen…"
"Summer? Is that you! I mean, I know it's you…you're the only one besides Luke who calls me Cohen…" He started to ramble.
"Cohen! Shut-up!"
He was silent.
"I just wanted to tell you to stop calling me and leaving me your lame ass excuses on my voice mail. I don't want to hear it. Bye." With that, Summer hung up.
Made my mistakes let you down
And I can't, I can't hold on for too long
Ran my whole life in the ground
And I can't, I can't get up when you're gone
Seth sat bewildered. Summer had just called him. She talked to him. He loved hearing her voice…he couldn't take it any longer.
He had to go home. He had to be with Summer.
Here I go scream my lungs out
And try to get to you
You are my only one
I let go but there's just no one
That gets me like you do
You are my only, my only one
He called Luke and told him the news. Luke understood.
With or without Ryan…Seth had to be with Summer.
She was his world.

Something's breaking up
I feel like giving up
I won't walk out until you know
Summer sat on her bed, crying. She wished that she didn't have to do what she did to Seth.
But he hurt her. He was supposed to be different. He was her only one.
"Sum?" Marissa knocked on the door.
Summer hastily wiped her eyes. She didn't want Marissa to know that she was crying over Seth. "Hey. Come in."
"You're listening to that again?" Marissa asked, turning off the stereo.
Summer looked at her. "What's up?"
"There's this party tonight. I thought maybe you'd want to go. Maybe get out of the house…" Marissa replied.
"That sounds good, Coop. Thanks. What time?"
"Around 8. I'll pick you up and we'll go, okay?" Marissa asked, she knew Summer had been crying. But Marissa cried a lot too. They both lost the loves of their lives, all in the same day.
"Yeah. Okay. See ya then." Summer replied.
Marissa left. Summer turned her stereo back on.
Here I go scream my lungs out
And try to get to you
You are my only one
I let go but there's just no one
That gets me like you do
You are my only, my only one
She turned it off.
She was going to forget about Seth Cohen, no matter what.
Who knew? Maybe she'd meet a new guy at the party tonight.
She'd make sure he didn't own a boat of any kind.
TBC….
Hope you enjoyed…Review please!
