As the gang entered the candle lit room a tall good-looking man approached Summer

" Todd, what are you doing here?" Summer yelled

" We have to talk Sum" He replied just as loudly

" About?" She questioned

" Us baby, us" He said moving closer

" There is no us anymore Todd, you ruined that when you spent every hour of every day working or avoiding me or both"

" I know and I'm sorry for that but I really do love you Summer and I've realized how stupid I was to not spend every moment with you, so what do you say baby? How about a second chance?"

She slapped him- hard, " You arrogant son of a bitch, how dare you come back now and try to make me forgive you? You never loved me, I was just there you know as a trophy, as your trophy so you could brag about me to all your so called friends and show everyone that Todd Daniels cared because he had a wife, well I'm not your wife anymore Todd, were over, don't come anywhere near me again"

With that she ran into the bathroom followed by Marissa and Bridget. Seth walked up to Todd

" Who the hell are you?"

" Seth Cohen"

" Jacob's Dad?" He inquired

" Yeah" Seth replied confidently

" I cant believe I'm finally meeting Seth Cohen, your all Summer ever talked about, how much she loved you, how much she wished you'd just come back and save her from a life with me, she doesn't know I heard her prayers and her tears but I did and that's why I never committed to her, you are the reason we never worked because you were too much of an arrogant prick to come back and face the music, well: Welcome back to Newport, bitch"

He yelled before punching Seth in the jaw. Seth recovered quickly and hit him in the nose, Ryan had also rushed in to try and stop the fighting but Seth didn't stop

" This is for hurting Summer you asshole, this is for not appreciating her every fucken day that you spent with her as your wife…."

Ryan finally managed to pull Seth off Todd and dragged him outside

" Get off me man" Seth yelled

" What the hell man?" Ryan yelled letting him go

" I don't know what happened bro, I just started hitting him and then I couldn't stop, just knowing the way he treated Summer I don't know I guess I felt I had to protect her you know, be her knight in shining armor" He finished some what lamely

" But that's just it man, she's not yours to protect, you two aren't together anymore, you were only a couple for what 3 months? Your not her knight Seth and you never will be" Ryan said, his voice now raising to a yell

" What the hell is that supposed to mean? Why are you getting all pissed at me for?" Seth yelled

" Obviously you didn't understand our conversation before, because your acting like nothings changed, your acting like were still in High School, well you know what man were not?"

" Whatever, I don't have to take this, I don't have to listen to this…."

He began to walk away

" Go on little boy, run, its what you do best" Ryan yelled

" What's your problem Ryan? You've been on my case ever since I got back?"

" Because I'm sick of you acting like a fucken kid, you've got to grow up, you've gotta start being a man and you've gotta face up to your problems and not just run at the first hint of trouble"

" You have no clue Ryan, you don't know what it was like for me, no one does, do you know what its like to fear going home? Do you understand that I couldn't come back because I knew you'd all act like this, just give me a break man, I know I shouldn't have left but why punish me for something that's been and gone? Just get the fuck over it Ryan!"

This time he did walk away, he walked back into the building to find all eyes on him but slowly all the gazes left him and he realized that as much as he wanted things to be the same they weren't, Ryan was right, nothing would ever be the same again.
