A/N: Some complains about Anna being back and Alex to. I say Don't Worry.

After this chapter it will probably take a while to the next one because I'm starting to run out of ideas. But I don't think it will take more than a week. But if you got some ideas I would love to hear them. Love you all for the reviews!

Chapter 6 – It's A Good Start

Summer woke up when she heard knocking on the door.

Marissa drove her home last night after they had talked some more, she had some drinks at home and then went to sleep. She now had a really bad headache.

She slowly walked down to the door and opened it. There was Zack. They dated a while ago but after a while she broke it up. But two weeks ago she met him at the Bait Shop and they ended up together again. She hadn't told anyone yet.

"Hi Zack!"

"Hey sweetie!" He kissed her on the cheek "You look pretty bad. What did you do last night?"

Summer closed the door behind him, but she didn't say anything.

"What's the matter? Did something happen last night?"
"Umm… Seth came back."
"Seth? Seth Cohen? The guy who left you alone in high school? What is he doing back here?"

"I don't know. But it wasn't too good to see him. I think I slapped him"
"You slapped him? Way to go Summer"
"Don't say that. I was really mean to him. I mean he just got back and I just slapped and yelled at him. I didn't do anything else"
"Hey he kind of had it coming if he really left the way you told me. That was a really awful thing to do to a sweet girl like you"
"Maybe your right. But I think I should talk to him. Can you come with me?"

"Yeah sure. I would like to meet this guy. See what he's like."
Right after she said that she wasn't so sure if she wanted Zach with her but it was to late know. Hopefully it shouldn't be too awkward between them.

Seth slowly walked down the stairs of his parents house. He was always drowsy in the morning and the amount alcohol he had last night didn't improve his statement. He walked into the kitchen. Empty. The folks were probably at work. He took a bagel and some cereals.

What did I do yesterday? Hmm. Ah that's right, Anna and I talked pretty long and I guess I drank a little too much. I never really could handle alcohol well.

Maybe I should go talk to Summer. Maybe she's calmer today than yesterday. But again maybe she's not. I probably should take it very slow with her. Maybe just hang out here.

The phone rang. Seth grabbed it.

"Y'ello! Hey Ryan! Do you want me to watch Trisha? Sure I could do that. When? Now? Okay I'll be right over. Ok see ya!"

He put on some clothes and was out of the house a minute later. Both Ryan and Marissa was busy with work so they needed someone to be there watching Trisha. Why not he thought. We had a great time yesterday.

Summer put the phone down:
"Sorry Zach. Can't do lunch now. Marissa just called. She wanted me to look after Trisha for a while. She and Ryan were busy."
"Okay but can't I come with me. Maybe you could use some company:"
"Yeah sure. Maybe we can go out and grab something when I'm done."

They walked out the door. Zach jumped into the driver's seat and off they went.

"Ryan. Do you really think this is a good idea? What if Summer snaps again? I would if I were her."
"Yeah but they have to talk sometime. If Seth is going to stay in Newport they really can't avoid each other forever. So why don't they try to take one step ahead now?"
"Maybe you're right. As always. You are so wise" She kissed him gently.

Trisha walked into the kitchen. "Morning! Are you working today?"
"Yes we are but Seth and Summer is coming here to look after you. Is that okay?"

"Yay I like Seth. He was funny. But are they going to fight like they did yesterday? I was sad when they did that"
"Wait a minute. Did you hear that?"
"Yes. Why does Summer hate Seth? I thought he was nice"
"He is. But he was mean to Summer a while ago and Summer hasn't forgiven him yet. But we hope she will soon. Okay? I promise they won't argue today."
The doorbell rang and Trisha ran to open. There was Zach and Summer.

"Hey aunt Summer!"
"Hey Trisha! So what are we going to do today?"
"Not argue or fight!"
"No of course not. Why do you think that we would do that?"
"Because you did last night with Seth"
"Yes I did. But I'm not angry with you"
"No but you…"
"Hey Summer!" Ryan interrupted and then he saw Zack "and Hey Zack! What are you doing here?"
"Summer hasn't told you? We started to date again about two weeks ago"

"Really! No she didn't tell me that, but good for you I guess. Maybe you should talk to Summer a bit honey. About you know what."
"Ah right. Why don't you come in to the kitchen Sum"
"Wait a minute what's going on?"
"Just come here and I will tell you"

Seth walked up against the door. Knocked and then opened the door. There was Ryan and some other guy.

"Hey bro! Who is this? I don' believe we have met" Seth reached out with his hand.

"Wait a minute. Bro? Then you must be Seth"
"Yes that would be me. So you have heard about me"
"Yeah you're damn right I have, and to me you sound like an old prick"
"What? You don't even know me. And why does he think I'm a prick? What have you told him?"
"He didn't tell me anything: But my girlfriend did. I think you know her"
The pieces fell in place and Seth finally understood who he stood and talked to. Summer's boyfriend. And because of all the shouting Summer and Marissa walked into the hall.

"What is all the shouting about?" And then everyone went quiet, before Summer snapped.

"What the hell is he doing here?"
"I could say the same. About both you and this so called "boyfriend" of yours. I thought I came here to take care of Trisha, not for a relationship meeting."
"Yeah then why don't you take off? Or wait. I came here to take care of Trisha, so why did you think that… Coop! What is this about?"

Everybody turned to Marissa

"Okay maybe this was a bad idea. But I thought you might be able to get along. For the first you owe it to yourself. And second it will be hard to hang out with you if you're going to get berserk as soon as you see each other. And third, Trisha was really sad this morning, because of the two of you fighting last night. And I didn't want that to happen again. So that's why!"

No one said anything. They just looked at each other. Seth decided to break the silence.

"Okay. I'm really sorry. This is entirely fault. Obviously this is going to be hard, and that's mostly my fault so I should just go."
"No Cohen don't go. That doesn't solve anything. I guess I have to try and be calm. But it's really hard. But someone has to take the first step if we are going to be around each other. So why don't you stay here and we can watch Trisha together. Nothing more!"

"Okay Summer. That sounds good. What about Goofy McTwist over there" he pointed at Zack.
"What? Don't say that to him. Zack is my boyfriend. But maybe he shouldn't be here right now. It might just be harder. I'll call you later" She giggled inside to Seth's joke about Zack.

"Okay! And if something happens. Just call me"

Seth tried really hard not to add a comment after that line and he managed to succeed.

Zack walked out and after him Ryan and Marissa rushed after before anyone managed to say anything and suddenly they were alone. They just looked at each other.

"You know if we are going to do this. Maybe we should learn to talk each other instead of staring. It will be more effective"
"Don't joke Cohen. Don't think I have forgiven you. I'm just doing this because we can't go on like we did before."

"Okay" But he smiled knowing that this was a step forward and he was relieved that they managed to do that in two days. They walked into the living room where Trisha played video games.
"Hey Seth! Hey Summer! Are you friends again?"
They looked at each other. "Yes Trisha we are friends again" Seth said quietly to see Summer's reaction. But she just turned her head away.

"Good! Can we play some video games again Seth? It was really fun yesterday."
"Yeah sure. But I would like to talk to Summer a little bit first."
"No you two play. We can talk later. I'm just gonna take some coffee.

She walked out to the kitchen and Seth followed her with his eyes.
"Do you love her?" Trisha looked up at Seth.

"I think I do. But don't tell anyone. That will be our secret"
They turned their heads to the TV and started to play and they both smiled. Change was in the air.
