Seth grabbed his luggage from Marissa's trunk and they began to make their way to the airport. Once they were in his terminal, they decided to sit down and eat. Neither of them had really spoken since they had arrived and Seth was determined to break the silence.
"You know, this burger is really good, you should try some." He shoved the plate towards her.
Marissa continued to poke at her salad, "You know, we can sit here and not talk about it or at least get it out in the open. I don't want you to go back to Boston without admitting it."
"Admitting what exactly. I thought that last night was our heart to heart conversation. I am officially now an open book in the eyes of Marissa Cooper."
"Seth, I know that you want her to come here and chase you down. Before you leave she tells you how much she loves you and then she decides to get on the plane with you. Happily ever after. End of story."
"That's funny I never saw you as the fairy tale kinda girl, but I guess you did have Ryan…"
"SETH….just tell me that I'm right, so we can move on."
Seth put his head down, knowing he had been defeated. He mumbled, "you're right."
"Sorry, I couldn't hear you. Do you think that you could repeat that for me?"
"I want her to come and give me a reason to stay. But that's never going to happen, so I think we should just change the conversation."
Marissa looked at her phone, "I think it's time that we head towards your gate."
Summer was nearly out of breath as she ran into the airport. It had to be like Seth to leave from LAX, one of the biggest airports in the world. She scooted around luggage carts and nearly stepped on a kid as she briskly walked towards the terminal. She saw Seth with Marissa as they were walking towards his exit. She saw them hug and wave goodbye as Seth was handing his ticket to the lady. She was only a few feet away, so she ran towards him, but at that moment a group of nearly thirty people walked in front of her. She started to yell "Cohen", but by the time she made her way through the people, he was gone.
She ran towards the counter, attempting to explain to the lady that she needed to get on the plane. However there were no seats left. Just like Cohen to get on an overbooked flight.
"You don't understand. I need to get on that plane. It is soooo important."
"I am sorry miss, but if you don't have a ticket then you can't get on the plane."
Summer knew she had lost, "I see. Well thank you anyways."
She turned around and began to walk, not paying attention to where she was going. It wasn't long before she ran into someone. She recognized the smell right away. Only one person wore that perfume.
"Oh my God, Summer"
"Marissa, hi."
"What are you doing..." it dawned on Marissa, "Oh my god, you were going to…"
"Stop him. That was the plan, but obviously someone is giving me a sign."
"What are you talking about? Signs?"
"I almost got him back, but I guess it wasn't supposed to happen that way." She looked down at her ring, "I guess that my wedding is still on."
Marissa knew that Summer was hurting bad, "I'm so sorry Sum…" She didn't tell her that Seth would have stayed if she asked him, she figured that would only make her feel worse. Marissa pulled her best friend into a hug and then they turned around to leave the airport, knowing that they would never see Seth Cohen again.
Seth sat on the plane and stared out the window at the ocean. He had been so happy to see it when he returned home, but now he couldn't wait to leave it behind.
He mumbled to himself, "Goodbye, Orange County.", turned his head and closed his eyes.
That night as Summer laid in bed she stared out her window to the ocean. She loved the beach so much, but yet tonight it wasn't bringing her any comfort. She turned away from it and closed her eyes, praying that she would feel better in the morning.
