AN- Hey guys I'm back, how are you all, this story isn't a mystery, I'm actually not that good a writing mystery, Went To Far just came out ok. This is of course a SS story with some RM, there in their junior year right now and I really don't go along with all the events in the show so SS are together as with RM, I think not sure yet. I may change Summers Age later in the story so that she not 18 when she should be. I promise AN's won't be as long in this story but this one will be cause it's the first one. I think Danielle will be my beta but not for this chap. Other chapters will be longer. I realize writing is my emotional outlet. I will have at LEAST one chap up per week, cause its my first year of HS so I am busy.

My title is borrowed from MegasterMog, or at least the all I'll ever be part. Her story "That's All I'll Ever Be" made me cry, but it's a Harry Potter one shot.


Disclaimer- I do not own anything The OC related, and like I said this is only an emotional outlet of me and I am making no profit whatsoever. THIS GOES FOR THE WHOLE STORY!

It was 9 o'clock on Saturday night. Seth Cohen had had a craving for milk and cookies but they were out of milk so he took the keys to his moms range rover and made a stop at the dairy to pick some up. His parents were on a date tonight, why they had to say date even though they were already married had intrigued Seth, but they had insisted it sounded more romantic than dinner. He threw open the door into his spacious home and walked into the kitchen and placed the milk on the counter. He walked over to the pantry to retrieve the cookies, he opened the cabinet door and reached in for them, grabbed the chocolate chip goodness and closed the door, when he did he jumped back in shock, standing there clad in jeans and one of his hoodies was a gorgeous petite brunette girl.

"Jeez Summer you gave me a heart attack" Seth said as he recovered from the initial shock of his girlfriend appearing behind the door.

"Sorry" she mumbled not meeting his gaze.

"How did you get in here?"

"Your back door was unlocked"

"Oh ok" he paused, he could tell something was wrong with her. "Hey are you okay"

"I had a major fight with my dad"

"About what"

Summer padded her way over to the couch and Seth followed sitting beside her. She turned to face him one leg bent and completely resting on the couch.

"He left for a trip"

"Ok"

"He didn't tell me"

"Oh"

"It wasn't even planned"

"hm"

"I got home today, after going to the mall with Marissa and he wasn't home, so I asked our maid who was over if she knew where he was and she said Seattle, and that he would be there for 3 weeks. He isn't coming back till December 28th."

"He's, missing Christmas?"

She nodded her head "he left a note though, said he was sorry and this had to be done or the wing he was helping supervise to be built at the hospital wouldn't be built, and we would celebrate when he got home"

"I'm so sorry Sum"

"It's not your fault, I just, I mean he was all I had for a really long time ya know and he is still a huge part f my life and I've never spent Christmas without him and now I have to wake up to an empty house every day "

"What about your step mom"

"She went with him"

"Oh"

Seth was surprised at how Summer was acting, she would usually get a rage blackout about theses types of things, but now she seemed more sad than mad. Of course Summer wasn't exactly one to disappoint.

She suddenly flew up from the couch and began yelling.

"AH, why couldn't I go with him too, And what is it with the most important men in my life leaving me notes! How dare he do this to me, and then when I called him he didn't even seem all that sorry, like he was glad to be rid of me, and I blew up at him and we had a big fight!" She was now close to tears.

"Summer, Summer calm down" Seth said standing up and gripping her shoulders to calm her, its going to be alright, I know he was wrong to leave, I know, but I'm here and I promise ill keep you company"

She shrugged and he loosened his grip on her shoulders. And they sat back down on the couch.

"It's gonna be ok, ok" she nodded her head. "Want to watch a movie or something"

"Sure"

Seth clicked on the TV and began to flip though channels until he settled on a movie that was just begging to start. Summer cuddled into him and he wrapped a blanket around them both. The milk and cookies completely forgotten.
