Thanks everyone who reviewed!

I'm really not sure about the spelling in my story. I'm sure I'm making grammatical mistakes all the time and I hope that it's okay to read anyway. English isn't my first language; I live in Sweden.

Enjoy!

Chapter eleven - The big Ocean

The curtain flapped by the wind from outside. It was the month of October and the wind was a little cool for the season. Outside, the night was very quiet, only the waves from the ocean could be heard. The sky was bright and you could see thousands of stars that glittered on the black background.

Flashback

Summer stood outside Kirsten and Sandy's house. It wasn't late and it was just her and Seth home, the other ones were at a Newport event, which didn't excite Summer and Seth so they went home early.

Summer watched the water in the pool float around as she waited for Seth. He'd said that he had to get something important and he had told her to wait for him outside. She couldn't figure out what could be that important, but decided to wait and see.

"Hello, Summer!" Seth came up to her and kissed her cheek. He then took her hands and slowly walked her to a place in the garden that you had a view over the Pacific Ocean. Summer loved the ocean; it was so big and mysterious. When Seth stopped, Summer definitely wondered what he was doing.

"Cohen, what are you doing? I thought we decided to eat as we got home as we haven't eaten since lunch. "

"Shhhh. You'll get to eat soon, I promise." Seth pulled his fingers on her lips as she tried to speak.

"It's beautiful here, isn't it?"

"Cohen, just get to the point, I'm starving." Summer complained.

"Will do. Okay. So, Summer, the past year we've been dating have been so great. I mean it's always been great to be with you, I mean not great all the time, but mostly. But the last year we've got closer I think and we've grew stronger. We've practically lived together all the time and I have learned so much about you." Seth then did a pause and squeezed her hands a little. Summer had no idea where this was going, but liked it.

"Cohen…" She started, but Seth stopped her.

"Please let me finish. I know that a lot of it doesn't make sense so I'll try to get to it." He cleared his throat and kneeled down in front of Summer. Oh my God. Is this happening? Is he doing what I think he's doing? Summer thought. She smiled at him as he caressed her hands, which laid in his.

"You and I, we're soul mates. I know you won't admit that you believe in those and maybe you don't. Never mind. To me, Sum, you're the one. You've always been the one for me and you'll always be. I think we've got enough prove that we're supposed to be with each other. That's why I'm asking you to spend your life with me as husband and wife. Would you do me the honour and marry me?" Seth looked right into her eyes and waited for any kind of respond.

"Are you doing what I think you're doing?" She asked, her voice a little fragile.

"Oh, I forgot. You see, it's the first time I'm doing this." He took out a silver ring from his pocket. Summer gave him a laugh, but turned quiet as he began to speak again.

"Summer, will you marry me?" The question was really simple. Summer had heard it so many times at TV before, but it still was so perfect and beautiful. And she knew why, it was because the man who sat on his knee was the man she loved. The question came from the one she wanted to be with. A few tears ran down her cheeks and she just looked at him. He was so handsome and sexy and cute. He was perfect.

"So…" Seth said and Summer could see that the sparkle in his eye seemed to disappear a little.

"Oh, oh. Sorry, I was just thinking." She said as she realized that he was waiting for an answer. "Of course I will marry you, Cohen. I love you."

"So your answer's yes?"

"Yes. God, yes." Summer said as she gave him the biggest smile he had ever seen. He then slid the ring onto her finger and stood up to face her. They just looked at each other and knew that what they'd done was the right thing.

"Great." Seth said and broke the silence. Summer couldn't do anything else but laugh at him. He also began to laugh and they threw themselves into each others arms. They kissed and help each other hard and long. As Summer hugged her FIANCÉ she looked at her left hand. She now had a diamond sitting on her finger, she was engaged.

End of Flashback

The memory automatically put a smile on her face. The ocean was Seth. Seth was the ocean. The waves reminded her of his way of always getting back to her. The horizon reminded her of what they had been huge and exiting. And the fact that it was so big reminded her of how much they could overcome together. The ocean was something that always was there, that you could always find. So was Seth, he would always be there, no matter what.

As Summer looked out over the ocean she knew that they were gonna make it. In some way they were, because they were together.

No one had ever given her such joy and happiness that Seth had given to her and no one ever would. She hated to be away from him, she could hardly stand a half day. But she had to do this on her own; it wasn't Seth's fault or her children's fault that she was so dam scared and insecure. No, it definitely wasn't. She wasn't gonna let them worry about her; she had to overcome her fear.

She was going to.

To be continued…

I didn't want to leave it here, but that was for the best. In the next chapter Summer will be leaving and that will hopefully be a longer chapter.
