1 MONTH LATER

Marissa walked down the beach looking for Summer. When she spotted her best friend she smiled and walked a little faster.

"Coop!" Summer called out.

"Hey Sum. How's it goin?"

"Awesome" Summer put on a fake smile, but as always Marissa could tell something was up.

"Whats wrong?"

"Coop... today is one month…"

"Since they left… I know" Marissa finished for her. One month since Summer and her had told Ryan they were not going to contact each other for a while. Everyday was hard not to pick up the phone… but she managed. Now she was starting to finally get over the loss of her boyfriend and best friend.

"It is getting a bit easer though…I mean I still think of them as often as before but it doesn't hurt as much. As long as I don't see them or talk to them."

"True dat. And I have started checking out other possibilities in guys." Summer looked around the beach appreciatively.

"Summer Roberts you do know how to pick them out!" Marissa teased.

"Yah well I'm trying to have fun… besides, being at home is hell right now. The stepmonster is out of pain killers so she's as bitchy as ever. Maybe I can slip her some oxycotton. That'll at least make her less bitchy but just as wired."

"Yah well my mom is ever the happy one. She thinks therapy is the answer o everything so she even has Caleb going. God I wanna move out so bad."

"Coop! Why don't we?"

"Huh?"

"Why don't we like buy a place together. We could ditch the rents and live in an apartment or something."

"You know I'd love to but my mom would be no-go." Marissa sighed.

"Who gives a shit. Just threaten just threaten with blackmail or something. Or just promise you'll live close it'll make you two even closer. Just lie!"

"Ya know Sum that's a good idea."

"So…yes?" Summer asked excitedly.

"Duh… of course. This'll be a blast. Come on, let's go searching now."

Seth sat on the beach staring at the water. He had almost made it to Tahiti when he found himself bored and hungry. So he went to Portland and looked up Luke. It was definitely odd to be shacking up with Luke and his gay dad, but he had no where else to go. He definitely couldn't show his face in Newport now after leaving Summer there and having no contact at all. God he missed her. How was it possible to love someone so much and still leave them. Well that's what he had done. When Ryan left he couldn't deal with going back to the old Seth where no one knew his name. And Ryan was his brother, his best friend. And he had left Marissa there as well. They had been best friends in secret forever until Marissa started dating Ryan. Then it came out. But he loves her as a friend, and she was yet another person he had left behind. He would give anything to just go back and say he was sorry, but it was just too late for that. One month was forever to be gone.

But fuck it all. He couldn't go his whole life without Marissa, Summer, Ryan, and his parents. Although Ryan will be changed for a while, he could still fix something.

Seth didn't know what he was going to do but he did know that he would somehow end up at home.
