Chapter 1
It has now been three months since Ryan had left for Chino and Seth had left on the Summer Breeze. Ryan had come back once he had heard about Seth's departure and has been living with the Cohen's since but goes to visit Theresa every day.
"Have you heard anything?" Ryan was becoming increasingly worried about Seth, he knew Seth was angry but he didn't think he would take it this hard, to run away? He never thought Seth would do that.
"No the coast guard say that they are still looking but have no hope of finding him with the weather this bad" Kirsten replied as she was drinking coffee, it was the only thing that would keep her awake, she couldn't and wouldn't sleep while her son was missing.
They had just gotten a weather warning for a huge storm that had left many ships shipwrecked.
"I hope they find him soon, I miss him so much" Summer hadn't left the Cohen's since Seth had left, it was her only way of being close to him, she didn't understand why Seth left but she knew that she loved him and would stop at nothing to get what she wanted.
"We all do honey, but there is nothing we can do now, it's up to the coast guards" Kirsten had gotten quite close to Summer over the past few months. She had come to think of summer as the daughter she never had.
Summer spent most of her nights crying in Seth's room. She and Ryan were now friends even though Marissa didn't speak to Ryan since he came back.

Everyone jumped up to grab the phone, Kirsten got there first
"Hello?" Everyone could sense the fear in her voice. "Hello is this Kirsten Cohen?"
"Yes it is"
"Hello I am with the coast guards and we have found your son he has sailed to Pittsburgh and he is here would you like to speak to him?" Kirsten started to cry and everyone in the room immediately thoughts were for the worse.
"Oh thank god, yes put him on"
However upon hearing this made everyone realise that Seth was safe and on the other end of the phone Summer ran up to Ryan and cried into his shoulder
"He is safe, thank god."
Ryan didn't know what to do he had see her cry before but she always ran to Kirsten or Sandy never to him
"Seth? Sweetie are you there?"
"Hi mom im sorry I haven't called" Seth could hear someone crying in the back ground and he hoped that it wasn't Summer, he couldn't bear it if she was crying over him.
"Where are you? When are you coming home? We miss you so much"
"Its ok I am in Pittsburgh... With Anna, I don't know when I am coming back yet I just need to be with Anna right now"
"You're with Anna?" Kirsten's voice was high pitched; she couldn't believe her son had left Summer to go to Anna.
"Anna? He's with Anna?" She immediately let go of Ryan and took the phone of Kirsten
"Why did you go, why did you leave me? To go, to... to... her?"
Summer was still crying, she wasn't sure whether they were tears of pain or anger.
"Summer I'm sorry but I had to see her, her leaving made me realise how I felt for her and when Ryan left I couldn't face being alone again" Seth knew he shouldn't be saying this over the phone but he had no other choice.
"You wouldn't have been alone I am here. Ryan is here too" She was so happy that he was alive but at the same time she was so angry that he had gone to Anna, Summer was confused.
"Ryan's back?" Surprise evident in his voice.
"Yes are you coming home" She half pleaded and half asked.
"Not yet I need to be with Anna right now I am sorry Summer we just wouldn't have worked without Ryan and Marissa they are the only reason that you were with me. Anna noticed me first for me not because Ryan. Im sorry Summer but we ... we... are over"
Summer's heart dropped, he left her, for Anna. She gave the phone back to Kirsten and ran to Ryan crying again and all he could do was hold her, he stroked her black silky hair and she looked up at him.
"He left me for her... what am I going to do?" Ryan felt so helpless he was angry at Seth for what he had done to Summer, he didn't really know Summer that well before Seth left and now that he got know her, he knew that she wasn't as bad as he first thought. She was a decent, kind person and he just left her.
He looked into her eyes and saw for the first time ever, that she had the most gorgeous dark brown eyes that were sparkling through her tears making him realise how beautiful she was.
"I don't know Summer, I really don't know"
Summer put her head back down on his and continued to cry, he moved over to the couch with her and she sat down next to him and continued to cry into his shoulder until she had cried herself to sleep. Once Ryan was sure that she was sleeping he got up and laid her down on the couch and covered her up with a blanket and walked into the kitchen to speak to Kirsten.
"I can't believe he did that to her, she has spent the last three months crying in his room and he leaves her for someone else and didn't even call to tell her" Kirsten was surprised at how selfish her son had become.
"I know she is taking this really hard, she has just cried herself to sleep. I know that Summer and I have never been close but I feel so helpless right now. I want to help her, take her pain away but I can't." Ryan sat down at the island and picked up an apple.
"I know all we can do is make her comfortable, her father is still on a business trip to New York, she will stay here until he gets back but I will make the guest room for her I doubt she will want to stay in Seth's room anymore" Ryan nodded and Kirsten left the room for Ryan to sink deep into his thoughts.
Once Kirsten had set up the guest room Ryan went into the living room, where Summer was quietly sleeping exhausted from all the crying, he picked her up to take her to the guest room where she would be more comfortable. She put her arms around his neck to hold onto him. Ryan felt all the hairs on the back of neck stand on end and butterflies in his stomach, he dismissed it as being cold and carried her upstairs and laid her down to sleep.
