Discovering Memories

Rating: PG-13 for language

Disclaimer: I own crap. They wouldn't even give me the bloody Lost poster at Disney, and that ruined my day. FOX owns all OC characters and OC related thingys… and ABC owns sobs all Lost related things… even my Charlie…

Summary: It's almost been two years since the rescue, and everything seems so different to Seth Cohen. Everything is great, except for Aerin and the fact that he can't remember what happened before. How far is he willing to go to get both of them back?

A/n: I'm sorry it took so long to update, everything came on at once. xD

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

"I'm Sorry"

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

The week that Anna was supposed to spend here, turned into weeks when she got the internship with whatever-her-name-was, the fashion designer that lived in Newport. I was seeing more and more of Anna than I had ever thought I'd see again. While she was always busy, we'd always meet up for lunch every now and then and just talk about the stuff that had happened since they had parted ways.

And needless to say, a lot had happened.

While Charlie wasn't mad about me leaving him at the Bait Shop weeks ago, he was still quite angry that it wasn't his doing that 'found me a girl.' I kept telling him that Anna and I were old friends, but he kept insisting that we were perfect for each other.

"I just keep falling back into the old Newport Anna, don't I?" Anna laughed one day when we were having lunch at the crab shack.

"I don't know what you're talking about?" I said with a chuckle.

"Ask Summer and Ryan, when I was in Pennsylvania, I was such a different person, letting my hair grow out, everything… and now that I'm back, I'm morphing into the old Anna again, you know what I mean?"

I shrugged and looked over at Donnie. This was the first time since Anna came back that I had brought him to the crab shack for lunch. While he didn't really eat anything there, he loved looking at the walls, because they were different than the ones at home.

Thankfully, I brought him along, because Donnie was the one who broke the silence that had fallen over the two of us. "CRAB!" he shouted joyfully causing both Anna and me to break out into hysterical laughter.

"That's right Donnie, a crab!" Anna laughed. "God, he is so cute Seth!"

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

Anna had to cut lunch short because she had to be going back to her internship, but she said she'd stop by my house later on. So now, I was sitting around the house, listening to Sawyer and Shannon fight.

Mom and dad were sitting in the living room as well.

"You know who they remind me of honey?" my dad asked.

I glared at my father. I sincerely hoped that this wasn't going where I thought it was going to go.

"Who?" my mom asked in return.

"Seth and Summer, remember those days?"

I sighed loudly as if to tell them that I was still in the room. The two of them just laughed as Shannon and Sawyer began shouting again in the background. I was too tired to listen in anymore.

But I heard my mom and dad laughing every now and then. They must have still been listening. Obviously, they got the biggest kick out of it.

Slowly, I felt my eyes dropping as sleep wanted to take over me. I had already put Donnie to bed, so I could go to sleep anytime I wanted to, but something wanted me to stay awake, so I remained in that limbo type area between being asleep and being awake.

That was, I stayed there until the phone rang. Slowly, I awoke from the sleepiness, only to realize that my mom had answered the phone.

"Seth, it's for you," she said, handing me the phone. I took it groggily.

"Hello?" I asked.

"Would you accept a collect call from Eliza Jenkins?" the automated voice on the other end asked.

Aerin's mom? Why would she be calling me? "Yeah," I said groggily, blinking a few times and sitting up.

The phone clicked over. "Seth?" I heard Eliza's voice like it was yesterday that I had last heard it. Maybe they had found out where Aerin was. The only problem was, she sounded really upset.

"Yeah?" I asked, wondering what the hell was going on.

"I figured… I figured you deserved to know too…" she said. I could hear that she was holding back tears.

"What's wrong?" I asked, now openly worried about the older woman. Maybe I was the wrong person to handle it. I looked back over at my mom. She would have been better at this.

"Steve… he was killed… in a car accident. I just… I thought you should know… he… he liked you a lot…"

I was shocked. I was in shock. I didn't know what to say. I didn't know what to do. I couldn't understand why tears were beginning to form in my eyes. I never really considered myself that close to Aerin's father, but he was dead. I felt so bad.

"I'm sorry Mrs. Jenkins," I said, not quite sure of what else to say. "I'm sooo sorry…"

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

A/n:This is gonna turn interesting, isn't it? Sorry it was so short…

The Pirate Illusionist - Seth has a girl… two girls actually…

DeuCe628 - Sorry about the wait…

IY-ROX - Yepper pepper!

Swede85 - Haha, it'll all be fixed… we just need to get Aerin in the picture somehow… xD

emogeek1 - No, just Summer and Ryan… Marissa has fallen off the face of the earth… haha, just kidding, but Marissa is not with Summer and Ryan, she's somewhere else… Summer and Ryan are angry because they think that Seth has totally forgotten about them, but that is coming up later…

Volvic - Because Sawyer doesn't want to have to remember. If that makes sense. In Newport, around people from the crash, he doesn't have to remember his life before the crash, he can just forget?

Harper's Pixie - Shannon and Sawyer? You've got to be kidding me! Hota ka. Haha. This chapter was a major plot twist…
