Newport Beach Here We Come, Right Back Were We Started From

The sun poured in through the wall sized window in Ava's bedroom causing Summer to open her eyes, she squinted trying to avoid the glare of the sun. It took a moment for her to figure out where she was and to remember what happened. Her bones were sore and her face was no doubt bruised. Summer rolled onto her stomach, but turned back around suddenly when she realized she was lying in her daughter's bed, without her daughter in it.

"Ava?" Summer's voice was noticeably shaky

She heard her from outside the bedroom "Mommy, could you open the door?"

Summer scrambled to the white door and threw it open just to find her standing outside with a newspaper balanced between her chin and shoulder and cupped in two hands, a mug of coffee

"Oh baby, you didn't have to do all this, where did the coffee come from?"

"Mommy you have coffee every morning when I'm eating my fruit loops, I've watched you make it"

Summer took the coffee from her hands, and slid the newspaper out from under her chin and placed them side by side on her bedside table. "Ava, I think we need to talk"

Ava's head dipped down and she clambered up on the bed so she was sitting cross legged facing her mom.

"Okay" she mumbled

Summer grabbed her mug of coffee and swallowed a good deal before speaking, the taste hit her almost instantly, the coffee was watery and cold with too much sugar in it. She spluttered before saying "Ava, this is really good honey, but its cold"

Ava grinned "I'm not allowed to boil the water so I got it from the tap"

She said it in a perfectly logical way that made Summer smile "Oh good girl" she positioned the coffee back on the table and sat next to Ava.

"Honey, Jake is-"

"Mean"

"Yes, he is mean and he can't control himself sometimes, Jake…is a..." she struggled to find the right words "Jake is an angry person and he ah, takes his anger out on other people"

"I know mommy he hurt me"

Summer's face fell as she reached for Ava and embraced her "I'm sorry about that, about him"

"But Ava, I don't feel safe here and I think it's best if we go away for a while"

"You mean like a vacation?" Her face instantly lit up "Mommy I know where I want to go"

"And where would that be?"

"Mommy can we go to the beach?"

"The beach-"Summer paused "The beach, yeah that's what I was thinking"

"But mom, there's no beaches around here, what are we going to do?"

"I know of a beach, I know of a place where we'll feel safe"

Summer walked into the kitchen intending to remake a cup of coffee when her cell phone began to vibrate, she found it on the floor from last night and looked at the Caller ID: J-A-K-E was flashing from the screen. Summer's heartbeat quickened she was debating whether or not to answer it.

"What do you want?"

"Babe, I just-"

"Why the hell are you calling me?"

"I'm sorry babe"

"You think you can just apologize and everything will be better"

"Babe, I'm coming round now, I'll be there by lunch so we can talk"

"There's nothing to talk about, you are not coming round"

"I'm leaving the office in fifteen minutes; I should be there in an hour or so"

"Jake, don't even try to come in here anymore I don't want to see you ever again"

Summer snapped her cell phone shut, and noticed a red light flashing; she ran a hand through her tangled raven hair and flipped her phone open once again. Her heart almost stopped when she saw the missed call. C-O-H-E-N. Why did she even have him listed?

Her face was about to break into a smile but she stopped remembering what happened.

She remembered seeing Anna's chalky blue stockings on Seth's chair as she entered his bedroom. Seth was sitting on his bed with his iPod in his ears. He jumped when he saw Summer walking into his bedroom.

"Su...Summer what are you doing here?"

"Cohen, I'm sorry"

"Wow, did Summer Robert's just apologize?"

"Shove it Cohen, I just came to say I'm sorry"

Summer took a few steps towards the chair.

"Well, thanks'

"Thanks? Is that all your going to say to me? You were the one that told me I was afraid of commitment; you were the one who told me I was bitchy"

"Summ, you broke up with me because of your dad"

"Well I thought my dad knew best, he's always known what was best for me, but I thought about it over the past couple of weeks and I want to be with you"

That was when Anna walked out of his bathroom, she was wearing Cohen's clothes, she paused when she saw Summer standing there.

"Oh my god, I'm so stupid, I should have known you would get back with her when I left you"

"Summer, wait, it's not like that, she's just in town for a few weeks"

"Whatever Cohen, save it for someone else"

It was a month after that when Summer found out she was pregnant, Anna had gone back to Pittsburgh but she couldn't forgive Seth, she was too scared to tell her Dad so she left.

"Mommy…Mommy?" Ava's soft voice brought her back to reality

"Yea?" Summer looked at her daughter, she was so much like him, and it was like living with Seth Cohen all over again

"When are we leaving? Because I want to pack" A smile crossed her face and Summer couldn't help but smile even though she felt like giving up on the world.

One hour later Summer stood at the door with three large bags and a handbag waiting for Ava to grab Princess Sparkles, she thought it was best to leave before they had to face Jake again.

"Ava, please hurry were going to miss the flight" And Jakes going to be here soon for "lunch"

Ava tottered to the front door holding Princess Sparkles in a firm grip. Summer gave Ava the smallest bag to carry, and slung the other two around her shoulders. She had booked tickets, called her best friends, the only thing she hadn't done was call anyone in Newport to tell them she was coming. Summer locked the door behind her and they headed for the Airport.

Summer reached for Ava's hand once they left the building and found her car, parked outside waiting for them. Ironically just as she was getting into the car, she saw Jakes Mercedes driving around in circles trying to find a place to park.

"Shit"

"Mommy!"

"Sorry Ava, sorry, don't use that language"

Summer turned the car on and headed away from the apartments, praying that Jake didn't see them leave. This was going to be a long day, to get through and when she arrived home she was going to have a lot of explaining to do.
