Okay before I start, im changing the story slightly. All the events have happened up until the "Ties that bind" episode. The main change is that Seth did not leave the way he left on the show, you'll understand once i start! Thanks

You lay in bed, just thinking, after this whole year, and all the stuff that has happened, you were so confused. You loved him, you really did, but with everything that's been happening you don't know if you should stay with Seth Cohen. Your dad knocked on your door "Honey, wake up, we have to leave in an hour" your dad said behind your door. Taking a deep breath you responded "Okay daddy, im up." Sitting up and sitting on the edge of your bed you saw your oldest friend, Princess Sparkle. You picked her up and petted her mane "I don't know what to do Sparks", you didn't wait for a response but sat her back down and slowly shuffled over to your shower. To get ready for Julie Cooper's Wedding.
An hour later you were sitting in the back seat of your dad's sports car, not listening to the step monster telling your dad about all the hotspots she wanted to visit while in Australia. You were leaving tomorrow, and would be gone all summer. At first you were upset but was now relieved at the prospect of a Cohen-free 3 months. The situation between you was so difficult, you loved him to pieces, but your dad, he hated him. With everything that happened in the last month, like the stripper in Vegas, and the horrible luncheon with your dad you weren't sure if you should be together. You would have to tell him today, after the vows, you told yourself.
You dabbed the tissue at your weeping eyes, sure it was Julie but any wedding is a good excuse to cry. They were so beautiful, the thought of finding your soul mate. Seth sat on the other side of you, it had been awkward before the ceremony started, but you were determined to tell him the truth during the reception. No matter how cute he looked in that tux. Your thoughts were interrupted when everyone stood up and applauded the 'happy' couple as they walked down the aisle as man and wife. Now was as good a time as any, you told yourself. Grabbing Cohen's elbow you whispered, "we need to talk" he just nodded and followed you to an empty section of the lawn space. You took a deep breath, looking at this . . . man that you had gotten to know so well over the last couple of months. "Cohen, you know that i care for you, and that we have had some pretty good times together." you start searching his face for any sign of emotion, but instead he just looks at you intently "yes. . ." he says encouraging you to finish. ". . . Well as you know im leaving for the summer, and i think that its best that we break up, and when i come back, we can talk it out, see if we want to be together again" you finish avoiding his gaze. "Okay Summer, I mean, I really care for you and i always will you know that but I know that your upset with how your father feels about me. Its probably best that i give you some time to grow up, and get your own opinions. I'm looking forward for our chat in September, Call me when you get back, okay?" he says very matter of fact, kissing you on the forehead before he walks over to where Ryan and Marissa were standing.
You couldn't believe what he said, sure your dad's opinion had a big effect on you, but you had your own opinions, you could make decisions on your own. Couldn't you?
Seth sat on his bed, Captain Oats in his hands, "I love her, I really do, but she needs time, that i can give her. I just need to get out of here for now, clear my head" he told his small plastic friend. He grabbed a backpack, threw in oats, food, and some clothes before walking downstairs to his dad. "Hey dad, I need to get out of Newport for a bit, I talked to Luke yesterday, he invited me to visit, and with this whole Summer situation i just need some alone time. . . . with a water polo player who used to pee in my shoes." Sandy looked at him for a second, before giving him a hug, and handing him a credit card and said "Son, just say good bye to your mother, and if you don't call every day at exactly 4 o'clock and come home before August 30th then i will send your Grandma Julie to find you" Seth smiled,and said "thanks dad" before he ran looking for Kirstin.
After finding his mom and telling his story over again, and listening to a long lecture about being safe, Seth sat down on his computer, and began to type:
Summer- I know we've had our differences over the years, but I can honestly say I don't regret anything. I just hope that you can say the same thing. In case you were wondering I'm visiting good ole Luke, I need time to think and I think Portland will help me out. I'm looking forward to talking to you about our future together, or apart if that's what's in store for us. I just want you to know what ever happens this summer, you will always be my first love.
Seth Cohen
Then he packed his bags and caught the quickest flight to Portland. After a 2 hour flight he was greeted by Luke at the terminal. "Hey buddy" Luke said giving him a big hug "I hope your not to tired cuz we're going to see Modest Mouse tonight at the Roselind. And tomorrow we're gonna go to the Meow Meow Club before it closes." Seth smiles at Luke "sounds like a party" he says as they walk to baggage claim and catch up.
Meanwhile you were checking your e-mail on your laptop, it was in the middle of your long flight to Sydney, where you would eventually move up the coast, north to Brisbane, about an hour and a half into the flight you were bored out of your mind. The in-flight movie sucked and your step monster's breath reeked of peanuts and a bloody Mary. This was as good a time as any to check your e-mail you thought as you logged on to your hotmail account GoldenRose65 . You were surprised to see an e-mail from Cohen, you reread it about 8 times before a silent tear ran down your cheek. "Have i made a huge mistake?" you asked yourself thinking of the man you left at home half the world away.
