Seth and Summer parked the Cohen's Range Rover down the street from where the party was and began walking towards the house. The two could hear the music and kids screaming from half a block away. The two made their way up to the front door of the house and slowly entered. Not many people noticed the two as the entered the house. Everybody was caught up in drinking, smoking, and snorting the night away. Summer made her way to the bar and Seth followed her. Summer began making herself a screwdriver while Seth reached into the cooler and pulled out a beer. While Summer was mixing her drink, Seth was trying to open his beer, but soon realized…due to his raw and red hand, that it wasn't a twist off. Out of nowhere a girl approached Seth, wearing a bikini top and a pair of short shorts and holding a bottle opener in her hand. The girl extended her arm out to Seth, whose glance went from her hand to her face.

Girl: You may need this.

Seth: (Smiling) Thanks.

Seth reached over and took the bottle opener out of the girls hand, at the same time, Summer noticed the girl making eyes at her boyfriend and quickly stepped in.

Summer: Excuse me!

Summer charged over and stepped in between Seth and the girl.

Seth: Summer, she was just giving the bottle opener.

Summer: I know what she wants to give you.

The girl got quite an attitude with Summer and stood up straight staring her down.

Girl: At least I never had a boyfriend of mine take off to Tahiti for a month to get away from me.

Summer: What did you just say?

Seth quickly set his drink down and grabbed Summer around the waist before she could pounce on the girl. Seth picked her up and swung her around so they were facing the other direction.

Seth: (Turning to look at the girl) Sorry…rage blackouts.

Summer: Don't apologize to that btch.

Seth: Summer, you know that's not why I left…who cares what she thinks.

Seth leaned down and softly kissed Summer.

Summer: Okay…but keep her away from me.

Seth: I think we both know you're the violent one in this relationship.

Seth and Summer made their way outside and found an empty couch which had been placed on the deck outside the house, and sat down.

Seth: You know I'm surprised anybody even knows that I was ever gone.

Summer: Cohen!

Seth: Sorry…change of subject.

Summer: It's too bad we couldn't convince Ryan and Marissa to come with us.

Seth nodded and then looked out on the beach and saw a familiar face.

Seth: Or maybe it's best that way.

Summer followed his gaze and saw somebody she never thought she would see again.

Summer: Is that…

Seth: Luke.

Summer: What is he doing here?

Seth: I have no idea.

The two sat there staring at their once friend, unsure of whether they should go over and talk to him or not. But before they could decide, Luke spotted the two of them and walked over to the couch they were sitting on.

Luke: Hey guys.

Seth stood up and warily shook Luke's hand. Summer then followed and gave Luke a short hug. Both knew that Marissa had forgave Luke for what he had done, but both also knew that had Luke not found himself wrapped around a telephone pole, his apology would probably have not stood up.

Seth: So…what are you doing in Newport?

Luke: Oh…I'm just visiting this week…I came to see my mom.

Seth: How do you like Portland?

Luke pulled up a chair, and started rambling on and on about Portland and how bad their water polo team was, and how it rained all the time. Seth just rolled his eyes at that comment, making fun of Luke and all his water polo friends in his head. Luke had been talking for a while when he was interrupted by his cell phone ringing. Luke pulled the phone out of his pocket and read the caller ID; it was his mom.

Luke: Sorry mom, not coming home just yet.

Luke ignored the phone and set it down on the arm of the chair he was sitting in.

Luke: I'm gong to go get another drink…do you guys want anything.

Summer: I'm good.

Seth: No, thanks though.

As soon as Luke stepped into the house Summer and Seth immediately looked at each other.

Seth: I never liked that guy.

Summer: Whatever…are we going to tell Marissa that Luke is in town?

Seth: I don't know…he's probably leaving soon. What she doesn't know won't hurt her. It's not like she would have wanted to see him anyway.

Summer was about to comment but the two were interrupted by Luke's cell phone ringing once again. Both Summer and Seth looked at the ringing phone.

Seth: It's probably his mom again…

Seth reached over for the phone and looked down at the caller ID, but this time he recognized the number.

Seth: Wait, isn't this…

Summer looked over at Luke's cell phone, which was in Seth's hand and stared at the caller ID.

Summer: That's Marissa's home phone number.

Seth: Marissa's at my house.

Summer: Oh God.

Seth immediately knew who was calling Luke, and almost dropped the cell phone. Seth placed it back on the armrest of the chair, and gave Summer a concerned look.

Summer: Now what do we do?

Seth: My suggestion…get out of here.

Summer nodded and the two stood up right as Luke had returned with his beer.

Luke: Aw, you guys taking off?

Seth: Um…yeah man, you take it easy.

Luke: Yeah, you too. Bye Summer.

Summer took Seth's hand and led him into the house without saying anything to Luke. Luke watched them go and then sat down in his chair again and started drinking his beer. It was then that Luke realized he had a missed call, he picked up his cell phone and scrolled through the numbers to find out who had called him. When he got to the correct number, he almost spit his beer out realizing that it was non other than Julie Nichol.
