"What?" Casey choked out.
"I have lung cancer." Sophi repeated.
Casey walked out of the room,
"Are you really just gonna avoid her?" Seth asked the next day.
Casey had spent the night in the pool house, on the couch, "Yes, she'll be gone in a few days, and I have no interest in seeing her."
"Case." Seth sighed.
"Seth don't start, please." Casey said.
"Okay but you know she'll be back in a few months. Dad invited her."
"Whatever." Casey said getting up and heading out the door and through the fence to Jake's.
"Hey." Jake said letting her into the house. Casey burst out into tears, "Come on let's get you inside."
"She's gone." Seth said entering Summer's room where Casey, Marissa, and Summer were all laying.
"Good." Casey said.
"She'll be back, for passover." he added leaning down to kiss Summer.
"Damn." Casey said, "So what are you guys doing for Thanksgiving?"
"Spending it with my mom, for some weird reason. Actually she wants to have dinner tonight at some fancy restaraunt." Marissa said, "She even invited my dad."
"She invited my family too." Casey said.
"Oh I wanna go." Summer pouted.
"Wanna be my date?" Seth asked.
"Cohen, you are so sweet." Summer said kissing him.
" And with that I'm leaving." Casey said.
"See ya at home Case."
That evening Casey, Ryan and Seth got all dressed up to attend dinner, with their significant others and their parents.
"Hello." Jake greeted Casey with a quick kiss.
"Hey, so any idea what all this is about?"
"None whatsoever. All aunt Jules would say is that the Cohen's and the Cooper's were going to dine tonight in style, together." Jake said.
"I guess I count as a Cohen." Ryan said.
"You might as well call me a Cooper, I spent most of my life in their house." Summer said.
"Cassandra, Seth." Caleb greeted his grandchildren as he took his seat next to Julie and Kirsten.
"Grandpa's here?" Casey asked confused.
Finally Jimmy had arrived and the whole party was present. After their first course, Marissa finally piped up, "Mom, what's going on?"
"What- uh, what do you mean darling?" Julie asked.
"Come on Aunt Julie, fess up." Jake said.
"Juju bee, I think we better tell them." Caleb said taking her hand.
"Cal." Julie said embarrassed.
"Tell us what exactly dad?" Kirsten asked her voice squeaking slightly.
"Julie and I are dating, we wanted to tell you our family." Caleb announced.
"What?" the whole table minus Ryan, Summer, and Jake asked.
"I cannot believe him!" Kirsten exclaimed, throwing her purse down on the ground as she entered her house, Seth, Summer, Ryan, Marissa, Casey, Jake, Sandy and Jimmy in tow.
"Calm down honey." Sandy said picking up the bag.
"He's dating my boyfriends aunt! Do you know how gross that is?" Casey demanded.
"Case." Jake started.
"What is wrong with her? He's so...old." Marissa said, she glanced around, "No offense."
"No, your right he is old. He's far to old for this nonsense." Kirsten said.
"Dad?" Marissa asked turning to her father.
"Yeah honey?"
"I made up my mind, I wanna live with you."
I know it was a short chapter, but the next one will be longer. I just wanted to set stuff up for Thanksgiving. I don't think I'll put Anna in this unless I have a good story for her. Ryan will still go to Chino and Seth and Summer will still be making out in the pool house, but I'm not sure what everyone else is doing yet. Anyway please review.
