Disclaimer: Again, I don't own The OC. Just the soundtracks. Hahaha, okay I'll stop being lame now.

"I just can't believe she's doing this to me. She's supposed to be my best friend!" Seth laid on his bed as he rambled on about how he thought Summer was making a wrong decision. He had been doing it all day and it was beginning to worry Anna. She sat at the edge of the bed, she felt that if all he could do is talk about Summer, then he would put her on the edge of their relationship.

"Seth, can we talk about something else? Something that doesn't have to do with Summer? At all?" Anna turned her body over towards him to place a kiss on his lips, but he had pulled away as he shook his head no. Seth was so confused at the moment, he didn't want to talk about anything but Summer.

"Why do you think she's doing this? Do you think she knows what she's doing to me? Who am I going to watch The Valley with?" There was a sudden worry in Seth's voice which began to worry Anna. Anna knew that he had to have a little more than a "just a friend" feeling towards Summer because otherwise he wouldn't have done this.

"Seth, I think you need to go see a doctor..." She paused causing an awkward silence before she broke it with another question. "And since when did you start watching The Valley?" She had a disgusted look on her face as she looked towards his way. As she gazed into his eyes, she could see hurt and anger. Sadness and pain. She knew that it was time for one of her words or wisdom, or one of her cuddles to comfort him but she didn't want to. Especially since it had to do with Summer. She had to let him get through this on his own.

"Look, when you're finally over her, come find me." With that said, Anna got up and left. And Seth hadn't even tried to stop her.

Summer sat in her room, with Princess Sparkle by her side when she had heard a knock on the door. She got excited, in a way, hoping that it was Seth, but it was only Zach. "Hey." She managed to say, with a small smile as he walked into her room, shutting the door behind him as he sat down on the edge of her bed. He planted a delicate kiss on her lips, getting the idea that she didn't want to makeout since she hadn't kissed back.

"Something wrong, Summer?" He asked, a little worried. He prayed to God that it had nothing to do with them going to New York.

She immediatly shook her head which made it even more obvious that something was wrong. Zach raised his eyebrows at her as she rolled her eyes and started to explain. "I told Cohen about us going to NYU and he seems to be ignoring me now." Before he could say anything she decided to cover up what she had just said with a little white lie. "It's not that he's ignoring, I just can't stand the fact that someone would ignore me, you know?"

She left Zach with a confused look on his face. "What are you talking about? He's not ignoring you. He talked to you the other day."

Once again, Summer rolled her eyes. Sometimes Zach was really stupid. "Yeah! But it was like a short answer conversation. There's a huge difference. Usually he's rambling like his Coheny self but he doesn't seem very Cohenish anymore." He hated it when she used words like "Coheny" and "Cohenish". Technically, they weren't even words but she always acted like they were and she could tell that they annoyed him.

"Look Summer, I don't think it matters. Don't let him get to you, okay? If you do, then he's just going to make you stay and we'd have to cancel everything. You wouldn't do that to me, would you?" He looked at her with his innocent eyes, causing her to laugh a little as she shook her head.

After he had left, she sat there, feeling so lazy. "Princess Sparkle, what am I going to do? Honestly, I really don't want to leave Cohen. I mean, he keeps life moving for me. His stupid jokes take the seriousness out of things and sometimes I need that, you know? Zach doesn't do that, but I can't let him down like that. It's just not right for me to break a promise like that." She stared at the purple plastic pony with her lower lip sticking out. Life was just too complicating sometimes.

Meanwhile, in the pool house Ryan and Marissa were spending a lot of time together, lip locked. Usually when they made out, Marissa would forget about all of her problems, especially with her mom married to Caleb, then her dad moving back after Caleb dies. Then there's the whole Trey thing, not to mention the Theresa thing, but today it was something different. She pulled away gently, gazing into Ryan's eyes. "Ryan... we need... to talk." She managed to get the words out as he nodded, wondering what it was that was that she wanted to talk about.

"Not to ruin our moment, but Summer's my best friend and she's not herself." A frown appeared on her face which made him upset. He wasn't too fond of Summer especially since she broke up with Seth to be with Zach. But he knew that if there was something up with Summer, there must've been something up with Seth and of course he began to worry. He just noticed that Seth hadn't come bother him once that day which made him wonder where Seth was. His eyes continued to lock in hers as she continued. "I have a feeling it's about Seth. I mean seriously, when is it not about Seth? Did you know that she was moving to New York?"

Ryan's eyes widened at his girlfriend, completely confused. "Wait, what? Summer's going to New York?" He wondered why Seth hadn't told him this, that is if he even knew.

"Not just going there, Ryan. She's moving there. I can't believe she would do that to me, I was looking forward to go to UCLA with all of us and now she's just leaving." Marissa let out a sigh as she felt Ryan's hand move behind her, giving her a backrub. She could feel tears stinging her eyes which surprised her. When Summer had told her, they sat there bawling their eyes out talking about how different things were going to be and how they wouldn't survive or replace one another. "What am I going to do, Ryan?" Tears started to pour down her cheeks as she fell into his arms which held her up as her head leaned on his shoulders. He could feel her tears on his shoulder, it was a feeling he had gotten used to since being with her and he never minded it.

"It's okay. It's going to be okay." He reassured her as his hand continued to rub her back gently as she sobbed. He wondered how Seth was taking things. As Marissa continued to cry, he couldn't help but think of his own best friend. Someone who he considered to be a brother. The opening door broke his chain of thought and had also brought Marissa sitting up straight as she sniffed, rubbing her tears away and trying to hide her red eyes.

"I really have bad timing, don't I?" Seth asked, his voice not sounding very sarcastic, it actually sounded real sad. Ryan and Marissa both shook their heads as Seth nodded, shutting the door and taking a seat. There was a long moment of silence before Ryan decided to break it. "So.. It's not going to be the end of the world."

"Easy for you to say." Both Marissa and Seth replied at the same exact time which freaked them both out a little but they were both too glum to care. "Dude, so she's really leaving..." Seth said again, stating the obvious.

"Why should you care? You have a girlfriend, Seth." Ryan did seem to be a little confused at the situation, Seth had seemed to be happy with Anna for the last few months. He didn't get it.

"Summer was my first love though. She was the girl I lost my virginity to." Seth said, hearing his own words made him want to break into tears but he managed to contain himself. He couldn't stand to imagine her leave just like that.

"Gross. Too much information." Marissa replied with a laugh, as she wiped away another tear. They all knew it was true though. Basically everyone in Newport knew that.
