A/N: So, I promised I'd update soon, so here it is! Ta-da! This is the final part, so no more updates! This is it! The end! Enjoy!

"So"she started.

"Summer? II was obviously out of my mind, leaving like thatI justI honestly don't know what I was thinking!" he looked at her as he spoke but she didn't look at him.

"Yah, well, it's no big deal." she said snottily. Oh, no.' he thought, She's gone back to being Miss Popular again. That's the end of me, I guess.'

"Really?"

"Yah, I didn't even really notice that you were gone." she lied. He couldn't tell, but she was lying through her teeth. She had totally freaked when she found out he'd left, but she couldn't let him know that. In truth though, she was really glad he was safe and back home.

"You didn't?" he was crestfallen. He slumped his shoulders as he kicked himself mentally asking himself why he'd returned to stupid Newport Beach. She just shrugged and squinted into the sun.

"No, I mean, c'mon Cohen. It's been like what? A day? Maybe two? What did you expect?"

"I thought you'd be upset, like mad at me." he answered honestly and quickly.

"Well, I'm not, so you can go back home."

"Ah, so your true feelings come out. You are upset." she stopped walking and faced him.

"You know what, Cohen?" she sighed and let it all go, "I am upset! I totally freaked when I read your stupid note!"

"I knowI'm sorry"

"No, you don't know! I had no idea if you'd be back, or when, or if you really did love me like your note said. If you loved me, why would you just ditch me like that without saying goodbye, ortaking me with you?!"

"I don't know. I know what I did wasreally stupid. That's why I came back."

"You didn't have to. I'm already over you." she stated matter-of-factly.

"Oh really?" he smiled, not wavered for a moment over what she had just said. Instead he stopped and faced her and kissed her. He didn't touch her at all; he just kissed her softly but meaningfully on the lips. She couldn't resist and kissed him back.

"Okay, so I'm not fully over you." she said when they pulled away from each other, laughing a little at herself. "I mean, you were only gone a day right?"

"Yeah, pretty much." He said, although to him, it was an excruciatingly long two-and-a-half days. "But I'm still so sorry." She sighed and searched his eyes.

"I accept your apology, but you're going to have to make it up to me."

"How so?"

"Well, you could," she turned back in the direction the had been walking before and linked her arm into his as they strolled along again, "take me sailing. I mean, as long as we aren't gone long, I don't want an over-night trip or anything. Just a little bit of sailing for a few hours."

"Got it."

"Woohoo! I'm excited!"

"I'm glad." he pulled her closer to him by slipping his arm around her waist. And they walked into the sunset towards

The End

(of my story, at least)
