This fanfic is set exactly 13 years after 'The Ties That Bind'. Seth still hasn't returned from his trip, but keeps in constant contact with Summer and Marissa. He's also lost wit, charm and sarcasm, Year after year sailing will do that to you. Theresa's baby wasn't Ryan's, but he stayed in Chino to care for it. Summer and Seth are still very much in love and talk on the phone every day, but he won't tell her where he is, no one knows. Marissa decided that there was no point in drinking her sorrows away and living a life she didn't want to, so told Caleb about Julie and Luke, and told Julie about the blackmail. She is now the country's highest paid actress, and still has a soft spot for Ryan, whom she hasn't seen since the day he left. Caleb was arrested and sentenced to 14 years in prison, just one year left till he gets out. Jimmy and Hailey got married, (quite to the disgust of some family members, seems Hailey and Marissa are now step sisters as well as Hailey being her step-mom) and had two kids. Sandy and Kirsten separated after both boys had left, but didn't last long and were back together after a month. Man Orange County is screwed up! Anyway on with the story…
P.S. I don't own anything, except the computer I'm writing this on, and the clothes on my back.
Seth is lying in his bed asleep, sun rays are piercing through the flimsy curtains. The time on the alarm clock next to his bed states that its 5.59am. It ticks over to 6.00 and all of a sudden 'She Will Be Loved' by Maroon 5 starts to play.
Seth wakes up and sits up in bed, reaches over to his bedside table and puts on his glasses.
Seth – 'Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh, morning's not a good time'
He gets out of bed and draws back the curtains.
Seth – 'But a view to compensate'
Outside of his window is nothing but open ocean. It seems Seth had upgraded a bit from 'Summer Breeze'. He now owned a 100ft Catamaran, called funnily enough 'Summer Breeze II'.
He got dressed and opened the door to his cabin, walked up a flight of stairs and was on the deck of his yacht.
Seth – 'Good morning John' John – 'That it is sir, that it is. Are you aware of the date sir?' Seth – 'Yes John, I'm fully aware of what date it is. 13 years, and it still feels like yesterday that I left'
Seth sat down on what looks to be the most comfortable couch in the world, and stared out to see.
Seth (to himself) – '13 years' (to John) – 'John, can you arrange to have the chopper come pick me up. I think… I think it's time I went home' John (looking quite shocked) – 'Certainly sir. When would you like them to pick you up?' Seth – 'As soon as possible please.' John – 'Certainly'
John disappeared into the cabin and then re-emerged 3 minutes later
John – 'The pilot said he could be here in 15 minutes sir' Seth – 'Excellent John, thank you'
Seth stood up and walked into the cabin and then into his room to pack a bag.
