So, if you've read my other fics, you may have realized that this one isn't as funny or action packed as my other long one. I'm just trying this style out because it's how I'm feeling. REVIEW
Chapter 3
The sharp waves crashed against Summer Breeze as it pushed through the water. Seth Cohen sat on her ledge, letting the murmur of the water and the soft sounds of Death Cab ring in his head.
I had to go. I'm sorry, but I had to leave Newport. I still care for you.
Those words played had been playing over and over again in Seth's head for the past month. Seth took off his headphones, "Why didn't I even tell her that I love her?" He shook his head in disgust for himself. "I mean, 'I care for you?' What the hell is that? I mean, I care about linens, I care about good health, but I love Summer." Seth looked to Captain Oats for an answer, but no answer came. "I should have told her that I still want her. I should have told her that I wouldn't have left if I thought that she wouldn't be ok. But she has Marissa!" Seth put his head in his hands. He began to torture himself with ideas of what Summer was doing right now. Images of her before they got together began to flash in his head. He saw her in her orange bikini hitting on Ryan, he saw her getting wasted at the sophomore prom and making out with Josh McClane, who wasn't even her date. He saw her winking at cute guys from across the room, silently inviting them to come talk to her, come flirt with her, come touch her. Seth turned his ipod up louder, hoping that blaring the Killers in his ears would erase those scarring images. No such luck. Seth saw Summer at the wedding. In her beautiful pink dress, he remembered how concerned she looked as she kneeled beside him to comfort him. Seth saw her reading the letter, tears welling in her eyes. He wanted to hold her so badly. This whole trip was the wrong decision. It wasn't helping him deal with Ryan, who he thought about during the 2 percent of the time when he wasn't thinking of Summer. Over this month of solidarity Seth had realized that the cost of living in high class Newport society was paid off by Summer, but by going on this trip, he would inevidibly have to return to Newport, and he would probably have lost Summer as well.
