The Runaway Bride
Seth had been waiting all his life for this moment, ever since he was 6. Summer was the girl he loved and fortunately she loved him too.
At least that's what he thought…
Marissa stood at the door of a room, waiting for Summer to get dressed and exit into the hallway.
"Hey Sum? You ready? Come on girl, it's time to get hitched!" She called out. "Sum? Are you even there?"
Inside the room, Summer tried to wipe away splodged tears of mascara off her cheeks as she put on her favourite shoes and grabbing her bag before exiting the Cohen home through a window.
As she took one last look from her location in the tree she had used many times before, she hid quickly as Ryan bashed down the door with his good arm.
He looked into an empty room but a letter to Seth, with Marissa holding onto him as tears fell down her own face.
Summer then climbed down the tree, her bag swinging off her shoulder, and jumped off the lowest branch.
She ran to her car and started the ignition as Ryan ran out the front door.
She saw him and waved goodbye with tears blurring her vision, making it almost impossible to see. After that she drove off and Ryan walked back to Marissa who followed when he didn't stop at her side.
"What are you doing?" she asked as he walked towards the garden.
"What she wants us to do." Ryan told Marissa and showed her the letter.
Seth stood waiting for Marissa, Ryan and Summer to come outside when Ryan and Marissa emerged. He saw a note being held by his foster brother and ran up to him.
"Dude, what's going on?" He asked and was given the note in return.
Marissa walked up to Sandy and Kirsten at the front as Seth stood there staring at the letter and Ryan placed a hand on his shoulder before joining the group at the front.
When Sandy realized Seth was almost inside he tried to run after him but Ryan spoke. "Let him go. He'll want to be alone."
He nodded and turned to face their friends.
"I'm Sorry. The wedding has been postponed till further notice. You are welcome to remain here for the rest of the afternoon but I assure you, it is best you return to your homes and wait for Kirsten and I to inform you of today's events."
