Sorry for the lack of updates, but schoolwork has overloaded again so I've been busy but I'll try to get at least one up every week. Thanks so much for the reviews guys, they really mean a lot to me, I just have a few things to say before I write though, I know some of you are thinking that just because Summer and Seth have kissed that she's forgiven him but she hasn't, this story has so many twists and turns of Seth that you just have to wait and see what happens because things will change a lot, sorry if you didn't understand that.
This chapter is dedicated to: Agel15, Lucie Brody, theocfanatic2005, summer-breeze171, britney123, Alexis, nefftys, Svocfanatic, Kursk, auggy1984 and doves30, you guys rock

Kirsten was sitting next to Seth as he told her what had happened. She had screamed the place down when she found out he was back. Tears had streamed down her face as she mad him promise never to leave again. She had hugged him and kissed him for what seemed forever, not letting him out of her sight
" So where's Dad?" Seth asked curiously
" I think he's outside, so tell me Seth, what happened with Ryan?" She replied
He explained what had happened as Marissa finally appeared and approached them
" So you and Ryan aren't talking?" Kirsten asked as Seth finished the story
" Well I'm not talking to him, he was way outta line, I mean he's acting like a fu… sorry stupid 5 year old" Seth half yelled
" Summer wants to talk to you in the other room Seth" Marissa told him
He got up and walked into the other room, Summer was sitting on a step looking at him. He smiled and she gestured for him to sit
" Thanks" He whispered
She nodded in response " But I should be the one thanking you"
" Huh?" He questioned
" Well I heard that once again you defended my honor, you know with Todd"
Seth shrugged " I do what I can"
Summer smiled " You always manage to cheer me up when I'm down Cohen"
" I try Summer," He said with a grin
" Todd's a jerk and I'm sorry that you had to deal with that, I'm sorry for dragging you into my crazy mixed up life," She said with a sad smile
" You didn't, besides I would've found my way in eventually cause I always manage to…. Can I ask you something Summer?" He inquired
" Sure"
" Why did you marry Todd? And tell me the real version, not the decorated made up one" He said matter of factly
" I was scared of being alone for the rest of my life. I was so down, I was at my lowest point, and the only thing keeping me going was Jacob. I hadn't really been with any one since you so when this handsome and charming guy came into my life I just let him charm me, I really liked him cause he was the exact opposite of you and I fooled myself into believing that I loved him and that I wanted to spend my life with him. I figured if I couldn't have the best –you- then I might as well settle for second. It seemed logical at the time, but as soon as I began to walk down that aisle I knew I was making the biggest mistake of my life, I mean for me its always been you, ever since I realized I loved you, its always been you" She whispered, the tears running down her face
Seth leaned over and used his thumb to wipe away the tears. She looked into his eyes and he grinned, knowing that Summer loved him and that maybe, with time things would work out. He kissed her softly on the lips then she grabbed him by the collar, pulling him closer, shoving her tongue down his throat for the second time that day. She ran her hands through his curly brown Jew fro and they were really getting into it when a knock sounded at the door, they sprang apart as the door opened and in walked Marissa
" I'm so sorry guys….ahh I didn't mean to interrupt or anything but ahh, they're about to make the speeches," She said awkwardly
Summer stood up and began to walk out but before she left she whispered into Seth's ear
" We'll finish this later"
Seth sat their for awhile until he heard the microphone go on outside. He got up and made his way in. He stood next to Kirsten and Marissa as Jimmy Cooper spoke
" Thank you all so much for being here tonight, it really means a lot to me and Hayley so thanks again all and please enjoy"
Everyone clapped as he walked off stage. The night wore on and Ryan and Seth stood on opposite ends of the place not looking at each other. Sandy still wasn't anywhere to be seen and Summer was talking to Kirsten by the drinks table. Finally all the guests began to leave. Seth, Summer, Marissa and Ryan (who had a sleeping Bridget on his shoulder) entered the limo. Ryan stroked Bridget's hair never once looking at Seth, and Summer rested her head on Seth and closed her eyes. As the limo pulled up outside the house they all hopped out. Marissa said her goodnights and went to join Ryan. But Summer, instead of retiring to the pool house followed Seth to his room, wanting to talk, or so she said.
