There were many reasons why it had to end like this, Anna thought to herself as she packed her bags.
Nothing in life is certain, sometimes things happen that were unpredictable.
Like the kiss she gave Seth all them months ago, and the kiss Anna found in the bathroom between Seth and Summer, and most of all, the way she saw how Seth was with Summer. Protective, passionate, all the things he lacked whilst they were in their relationship.
When she was with him, she thought she had everything she could possibly want - perfect boyfriend, the perfect looks... but nobody was perfect and life wasn't perfect either.
Seth Cohen was her first real boyfriend, someone she thought cared for her, loved her even. She smiled sadly, in the beginning there was love, but deep down towards the end, there was nothing left anymore.
"I'm getting out of Newport." She told Seth, on that final day of school.
"Where are you going?" He asked.
"I'm not sure really. Wherever life takes me."
Silence passed between them for what seemed like hours.
"It was always our plan to get out of Newport... and now you're flying solo." Seth said sadly.
"You're with Summer now. You're meant to be. Take care Seth, and I hope I see you again some day."
With that, she kissed his cheek, softly and left it all behind.
Seth felt relieved now that Anna had gone. Initially, he was saddened by her announcement, but he knew it was for the best. He loved Summer, plain and simple. He knew it from the moment he left her room that day, the day of her overdose. He would never forget her expression, so sad, so vulnerable. He almost turned right around, just wanting to hold her in his arms, but he left.
Never did he want to leave her again; he wanted to be there for her the rest of his life. Seth had never been in love before, never knew what it meant. But now, the feeling overwhelmed him as he took her hand, held her in his arms, kissed her and made love to her.
And that was the end of Anna, the end of their relationship that had no future, and onto a new one with Summer.
They were meant to be, like she said. A new beginning.
