Hey guys! Thanks SO MUCH for the fantastic reviews! I seriously didn't expect them to be that good.....Thanks again! Sorry that the first chapter was so short, I realized that AFTER I posted it. I hope you like this chapter!

Disclaimer: Yeah. Yeah, rub it in. I own nothing concerning The OC

I really wanted to go back in time. And I know I said I wanted a time machine so I could forget Seth Cohen, but in actuality I wanted more than anything to go back to the day of the Julie Cooper/Caleb Nichol "unholy" union. When Seth was sitting on the grass looking out into the OC's multi-million dollar mansions and pristine beaches. I sat down next to him saying, "Found you.... I thought you'd be stuffing cocktail weenies in your pockets..." or something stupid like that.

If I would have been smarter like a normal person I would have seen in Seth's eyes that this was pretty much closure for us. And I would have picked a much different statement if I had known that was the last moment for Summer Roberts and Seth Cohen.

But how could anyone have known Cohen would run away? I mean, he ran away to Luke, of everyone in the world. Yeah, sure, he talked about sailing to Tahiti but I never actually thought he'd do it.

And then he comes back and has the nerve to a.) try to have me forgive him b.) end up kissing me at a concert and c.) then tells me he can't be friends with me.

Although, I guess, we never really were friends. At the beginning of this debacle, I tried to hit on Ryan, for like, a second. Then he became "friends" with Marissa. Then there was the triangle with me, Anna, and Cohen. And then a coffee cart and some rumpled bed sheets later, we were boyfriend and girlfriend.

And, as I think about it now, how long did we really go out for? Three months? Maybe four? Even though we slept together, he did run after Anna to the airport. And I understood.

But it was still in the back of my mind, at nights when I couldn't sleep...because I was thinking about Cohen.

And I broke up with him because of my dad, and he kissed a hooker. But eventually I understood.

And there was that thing with Grady Bridges from "The Valley."

And he understood.

Seth could realize things before I could. Things about us. About the world. About people. But mostly he understood me.

And I thought I almost had him figured out. Because he was a keeper. Was. Then he disappeared.

And I was alone.

But not for too long; I did have Coop. For awhile. Until she started drinking, or at least when I realized she started drinking heavily. And then Zach came along. And I discovered a fling with Marissa and the yard guy. So once again there were four, and they seemed perfect. Well, I guess they still are.

Except, Seth came back. With Ryan. The unblemished bubble we lived in for about two months was popped. A glimpse of the past was forming in my mind. Something I thought I forgot when I got the letter.

Recently, however, things have receded to normal. To fare up again with the whole Caleb/Lindsay thing. That was weird.

But Cohen and I actually seem to be pretty good friends now. Much to Zach's dismay. He gets pretty upset when I talk about Seth. Especially when he came back from winter break and found out I spent Chrismukkah at the Cohen's.

Honestly, I really don't care what Zach thinks about Seth. Because, as I ponder it, Seth and I had a very good three in a half months together as a couple. Cohen made me forget about the unimportant things in my life- like gossip or my reputation- and pointed out the things with value- like friends and relationships.

But the glimpse I had did not last very long. However, Seth Cohen was here again. A little changed, tanned, and with shorter hair, but still physically here. It wasn't what I hadexpected, but secretly, I was happy.

He was home safe. For now.

I do realize this was a little weird, or at least I thought it was. Hope you liked it, please review!
