"You know what's worse then all this waiting?" I asked good ol' Captain Oats and waited for a response. "Your right. Nothing. Well maybe if your head blew off…yah that would be worse. I wouldn't have anyone to talk to then."

My parents had been discussing for about 2 hours. And so far nothing.

I put down Captain Oats and waited. And waited.

And waited.

Still nothing.

Bored with all this waiting I decided to go to Ryan.

Right when I walked out my door into the hallway and immediately heard my parents arguing.

"Kirsten he's obviously unhappy here, I just don't know why. But we need to let him, them, go."

"I can't. They're my boys, even if one not legally they still are. If only Seth had never run away…"

"What do you mean?"

"Then he wouldn't want to leave Sandy!"

"Yes he would…his running away couldn't have prevented this."

"Yes it would have! Do you know why he's miserable? Summer. And he and Summer would still be together if Seth hadn't run away. Same with Marissa and Ryan. Except if Ryan hadn't of left…you get the point."

How can parents make you feel guilty when they don't even know your there?

My dad, after thinking it over for a few minutes, spoke up.

"This wont last long. They will want to come home soon. Let's just give them time to get over Summer and Marissa."

My mother thought it over. Finally she said

"Okay. But they are going to a college close to home."

My father, knowing that would never happen, just said "Sure."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"RYAN!!!" I screamed running into the pool house.

"RYAN!!!!!"

"Huh?" just like Ryan. I run through the yard screaming his name and the most he can come up with is huh?

"Glad your excited for my news." I paused looking at his reaction, which as usual, was just a glare.

"So anyway, we can go! Mom and dad think we'll come home after like a month but who cares! We can go!"

"Wait we have to come home after a month?"

"No. They think we'll miss Newport. Yah that'll be the day. There wont be one thing I'll miss in Newport."

Ryan looked at me like 'yah right'.

"Okay, okay I guess I'll miss mom and dad."

Still looking at me. What did I forget?

"Dude you know what I'm talking about."

Okay, sure, the reason I was leaving was because of Summer. Which means I wouldn't miss her.

"I wont miss her if she's the reason I want to leave."

"No, you wont miss her and Zach. But I am already preparing for many months of whining. Yours about how you miss her, what she's doing, what she's wearing…"

He wasn't winning this one.

"Your wrong man."

"Sure, okay Seth."

Man, he won.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After hearing about what happened to Ryan when he said goodbye to Marissa almost made me not want to go to Summers.

Ryan went over, with nothing planned to say.

Julie basically forced Ryan up the stairs, to get Marissa away from DJ.

So while he was walking up the stairs he thought of what he would say, and didn't hear moans.

He knocked, no answer. He opened the door halfway, poked his head in and said "Marissa? I…."

He stopped once he saw Marissa. In bed. With DJ.

He slammed the door.

"Uhhh…uhhh sorry!" he called in "I'm tomorrow to the airport at 9 if you wanna say goodbye.. Today's probably not a good time, you seem, uhm, busy."

When Ryan finished the story I of course, made a joke, inappropriately.

"Well, I guess that's one person we can cross off of our Christmas list."

Ryan looked mad, so I continued, not knowing what else to say.

"Actually two. Not that DJ was on it to begin with."

Ryan chucked a pillow at my head.

"Ow!"

"When are you going to Summer's?"

"Yah, about that. Maybe I'll just like write a letter or something.

"Oh, sure, cause that worked out so well last time."

"Smart ass..you are just soooo funny."

Man I really did like it when he didn't have a sense of humor.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My hands were shaking when I was walking up Summer's stairs. Half because I had to say goodbye to the love of my life and the other half because I really didn't want to see her sleeping with Zach.

Zach's car was here but I didn't hear any noises. That had to be good since Summer was very loud.

I knocked and Zach answered the door.

"Cohen." He said in a disappointed tone.

"Nice to see you too Zach."

And I can't keep picturing you with him
And it hurts so bad, yeah

He sort of smiled and Summer was up behind him saying "what do you want Cohen?" impationtly

Gee. It's things like this that make me want to stay.

"I was wondering if I could maybe talk to you. Alone?"

Zach hesitated. "As friends right?"

"Yah. Of course."

Zach left and Summer smiled at me "Hi Cohen."

And its things like these that really do make me want to stay. But apparently she was only nice to me when he wasn't around.

"So what's up?" she asked.

"I'm going to a new school."

And then Summer surprised me. She looked like she had gotten slapped in the face.

"But, but..where?"

Suddenly I didn't want to leave. I wanted to say I love you, but I couldn't. Not now. Maybe not ever.

"Maine"

This time she didn't look like someone slapped her in the face.

No he recognized this face.

It was the face she made many years ago.

When her mother left.
