Seth was sitting on his bed holding his plastic horse Captain Oats. He knew exactly what was going on downstairs right now. He heard his mom yelling hurtful things not only towards his dad but Ryan as well. He didn't hear any noise and grew worried. He got up and went to his door and grabbed the handle in record time but suddenly he couldn't move. He was scared to know what was happening and he didn't know if he was strong enough to go downstairs and face her. So he let go of the handle and sat on the edge of his bed. He ran his fingers through his hair and waished to himself that Summer was with him right now because she would make him do the right thing or atleast be calming him down right now, but when he called Summer she was having lunch with her dad and he wasn't ready for the rest of the community to look down on his mom. They hated his dad and him, but everyone respected his mom. She was the Queen of Newport. He heard more yelling and then hear the front door slam. He closed his eyes he didn't want to know who just left. He then laid back on his bed still forcing his eyes to stay shut as tears fells down his cheeks. After laying there crying for about an hour Seth finally got up and went downstairs. That was his second biggest regret, his first being leaving Summer for Portland. He saw his dad who he had never seen so sad before. Seth then saw Ryan sitting at the table and he didn't even look at Seth, he was lost in his own thoughts. Hailey stood up and walked over to Seth giving him a hug. That's when Seth knew his mother was gone.
