"You're back," Seth commented flatly as Summer entered the house.
"Hey."
Seth went back to watching TV and ignored her.
"So you're ignoring me now?" Summer asked.
"Oh I'm sorry. Is that a privilege strictly reserved for you?" Seth shot at her.
"Don't get all pissy with me. I came here to apologize."
"Apologize? I thought that Summer Roberts didn't do apologies."
"Ok. You know what? Forget it. I'm just going to go to bed. I'll see you in like four months," Summer sighed and walked to the bedroom.
Seth stared at the TV for a minute but he got up and went to the bedroom. He lifted his hand to knock but stopped when he heard a strange noise. It sounded like someone was crying. It sounded like Summer was crying.
"Sum," Seth said softly opening the door.
"Go away, Cohen."
"Sum, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have been an asshole. You just wanted to apologize. I'm really-," Seth started as he sat down on the bed next to her.
"Shut up!"
Summer smacked him with a pillow.
"Summer!"
"Cohen, I wanted to apologize. I wanted to spend my last few days with you. I wanted to hang out with my friends all day and then have great sex with you all night! But you just had to ruin that didn't you!"
"I'm sorry!" Seth cried out, throwing his arms in the air.
"Well sorry doesn't cut it!"
"Wait a minute! You were the one who started this in the first place! Why am I apologizing to you?" Seth asked angrily.
"Because you're an asshole!"
"And you're bitch! That's why we work together so well!" Seth scoffed rolling his eyes.
"Did you just call me a bitch?" Summer shrieked before she smacked him with the pillow again.
"Enough with the damn pillow!" Seth shouted, grabbing it from her and hitting her with it.
"I hate you, Seth Cohen!" with that, Summer grabbed another pillow and began pounding on him relentlessly as they both stood up.
"Enough! Enough! Stop!" Seth yelled, before finally hitting her back.
"You just hit me with a pillow…again!"
Summer re-launched her attack on him while Seth tried to defend himself with his pillow. Summer swung with full force and hit his head, knocking Seth back onto the bed. Then she stood up on the bed and began beating him. Seth finally tossed his pillow across the room and grabbed hers.
"That's cheating, assface!" Summer screeched.
"No shit!" Seth replied, knocking her legs out from under her so she landed with a thud on her back on the bed.
"Oh no you didn't!"
Summer tried to kick out at Seth but he jumped off the bed just in time to avoid her feet.
"I hate you!" Summer announced again, standing up and jumping off the bed.
Seth barely had time to react and caught her.
"Damn, woman. Calm yourself!" Seth ordered as he struggled to keep his balance.
Seth tripped over one of the discarded pillows and fell against the wall, with Summer's legs still wrapped around him while he was barely kept a hold on her.
Summer glared at him before kissing him. They broke apart and Summer glared at him again.
"I hate you," she hissed.
"So I've heard," Seth replied with a glare to match hers.
They kissed again and stumbled back towards the bed. Seth dropped Summer on the bed and she pulled him down on top of her. They kissed again.
"We should have pillow fights more often," Seth mumbled against her lips.
"This doesn't mean I forgive you," Summer replied rolling them over so she could straddle him.
"It doesn't?" Seth asked incredulously, before Summer's lips came down upon his again.
"Nope," she kissed him again, "I just don't want to give up the nights of great sex that I planned on because of a stupid fight."
They continued to kiss and Summer began unbuttoning his shirt. She growled when she couldn't get one of the buttons.
"I guess I can live without being forgiven this time," Seth smirked unbuttoning the button Summer couldn't.
"You are such a jerk!"
"And you love it."
With that, Seth disposed of Summer's shirt and they began to work on their pants.
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"I don't want to leave you," Summer said seriously as she and Seth lay on the bed in the aftermath of great, angry sex (usually their best sex).
"It's your job, sweetie. I don't want you to leave either. But you have to go. It'll be ok."
"How do you know that? What if- what if it's not okay?"
"What's going to happen? You're making a movie for four months and I'll see you every other weekend. Nothing's going to happen and we'll be fine. Everything will be okay," Seth assured her, rubbing her back while she clung to him.
"What if you meet someone else?"
Seth pulled her away and laughed, "Are you serious? You think I'd meet someone else? You're Summer Roberts."
"Yeah I'm a big movie star," Summer scoffed, rolling her eyes as a tear slipped down her cheek.
"No, you know that I'd never find anyone else, even if you weren't a movie star…that just helps," Seth smirked.
"I ha-," Summer started.
"Hate me. I've got it."
"Well I guess I don't really hate you. But you're just so damn…cocky."
"Thank you. It's a gift really."
Summer rolled her eyes.
"I'm cocky and you're just as conceited. We're a perfect match," Seth deadpanned.
"Shut up, Cohen. I'm tired," Summer said sleepily.
Seth laughed to himself as she cuddled up against him and drifted off to sleep.
"I love you," Seth whispered.
"Mmmhmm," Summer mumbled as she fell asleep.
Seth sighed to himself, "The next four months are gonna suck."
Then he pulled her closer to him and drifted off to sleep as well.
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"You're flying back in two weeks right?" Marissa asked.
Summer nodded as tears slipped from her eyes.
"See it's only two weeks, Sum," Marissa cried.
"I'm gonna miss you."
"I'll miss you too."
Both girls cried as they hugged each other.
"Women. I'll never understand their emotional-ness," Seth joked, swallowing the lump in his throat.
Ryan smiled sadly and clapped Seth on the back, "It's gonna be fine."
Seth nodded as Summer and Marissa separated.
"Take care," Ryan said hugging Summer.
"I will. Take care of my girl," Summer replied nodding to Marissa.
"I always do."
They pulled apart as Kirsten stepped forward.
"I'll see you in two weeks. I'm gonna miss you, sweetheart," Kirsten smiled as tears slid down her cheeks.
"Come on, now. She's filming a movie in Australia. She's not dying," Sandy smiled but his eyes showed his own sadness.
Sandy hugged Summer after Kirsten.
"Where's your dad?" Ryan asked looking around.
"He's got some business meeting thing," Summer rolled her eyes. "I guess some things will never change."
Seth walked up to her and wrapped his arms around her. They stood hugging in silence for several minutes until the attendant came over the intercom announcing the final boarding call for Summer's flight.
"I love you," Summer whispered into Seth's shirt.
"I love you," Seth mumbled into her hair.
Reluctantly Summer pulled away from Seth and started to grab her carry on bag. Seth grabbed her by the arm and pulled her in for another hug. Summer looked up at him with tears shining in her eyes. Seth kissed her sweetly before finally letting her go.
Summer sniffled as she gathered her things and walked away. She paused at the boarding gate to turn around and wave at everyone. They all waved back. Then Summer turned and walked down the gate and out of sight.
"You'll see her in two weeks," Sandy said, patting Seth on the back.
Seth nodded and took a deep breath before following the rest of his family out of the airport.
Seth climbed into his car just as the passenger door opened.
"So what do you want to do now?" Ryan asked.
"Hey, don't you have a wife or something?" Seth asked with a smirk.
"She knows how to drive."
Seth laughed and started the car.
"So seriously, what do you want to do?" Ryan asked.
"I guess I could always use a burger or something."
"Sounds good to me."

Anyways, after this week I will be back in my hometown w/ nothing to do except write and write and watch The O.C. I can't wait for the end of these damn finals! So keep reading and I'll keep writing...eventually. Yes, we've established that I suck at updating by now.
