DISCLAIMER: I own nothing except Jeff, Nicky, Jenn, Allie, Matt and Seth's song(s).

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"WAIT A MINUTE…YOU'RE LEAVING?"

"It's only for a couple of days Seth…I gotta get back to New York to get some stuff and to put up my apartment for sale….besides I still have to quit my job…I'm coming back."

Summer was hustling around her room putting certain items of clothing into a black bag. Allie was at school and would be home soon. If she saw Summer packing, it would kill her.

"Then let me come with you."

"You have to take care of Allie."

"She can stay with Ryan and Marissa for a few days or my parents."

"Cohen…I would love for you to come with me but, Allie needs you here."

"She needs you too."

"I'm coming back regardless okay?"

At that moment the door downstairs opened. Seth and Summer heard Allie run up the stairs and go into her room.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Allie was on her bed studying when Summer knocked on her door.

"Hey you…can I come in?"

"Yeah sure."

Allie moved some of her books off to the side to make space so her mother could sit down.

"Watcha doin?"

"Studying…physics…I hate it."

"I wasn't so big on physics either."

"Now I know where I get it from."

"…anyways…uh…I gotta leave for a little bit…I gotta do some stuff back in New York…I probably won't be back til the middle of February…"

Summer waited for Allie's outburst but it didn't happen.

"Okay…"

"That's it?"

"Were you expecting something like a rage-blackout?"

"Y-yeah…your father did when he found out. He even wanted to come with me and-"

"-and make me stay with my relatives or grandparents?"

"Yeah."

"Typical Seth Cohen…don't worry…do what you need to do and just come back soon okay?"

"I promise."

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Summer decided to spend the night at Seth's place. Allie was going to sleep at Ryan and Marissa's so they could spend some time together because God knew how long it would take Summer to move out all her stuff. She estimated about a week or two and when Seth heard the estimate he wondered how he was gonna make it through it without her because since she had come back into his life, he couldn't picture himself without her.

"Relax Cohen…you're gonna be fine."

"Yeah…but I'm gonna miss you…"

He gave her a look, a look that she loved when he told her sweet things. To see that look gave her weak knees. She grinned. He loved seeing the grin on her face.

Over the years, Seth had learned to cook. Being a father to a girl who loved to eat required him to learn. Seth and Summer were in the kitchen cooking for themselves. Seth decided to teach Summer how to flip pizza properly seeing as how he worked for Ryan so he could pay for Medical school in the past. They were kneading the dough when it was time for Seth's favourite part about making pizza.

"Okay…this is difficult at first but later you get the hang of it."

Seth took his dough and grabbed it by the end, whirled it around so it looked like it was hovering above the table and flipped in the air and landed sweetly in his hands. Summer watched him flip the pizza and was surprised that the boy she once knew grew up. He knew how to flip pizza. As he flipped she saw the end part of his tongue sticking out of his mouth and she giggled.

"What?"

"Nothing."

"What's so funny?"

"Nothing."

She kept on giggling at the thought of his tongue sticking out.

"C'mon…tell me…do I have flour on me?"

"No…it's just…do you always stick your tongue when you flip pizza?"

She laughed again.

"Ha ha very funny…let's who'll be laughing when you flip the pizza."

Summer grabbed a hold of the dough and Seth almost freaked.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm getting ready to flip?"

Seth laughed lightly and stood behind her taking her hands in his. He helped her maneuver the dough properly. She looked at him help her and smiled. He caught her grin.

"What?"

She didn't say anything. She just leaned forward and kissed him. It wasn't short. But it wasn't long. It was meaningful and sweet. She let go of his lips and he smiled.

"Let's see what you can do."

Summer took the pizza dough and threw it in the air a little too hard. It stuck to the roof and Seth started to laugh hard. Summer hit him in the arm.

"OW woman…what the hell?"

"Don't laugh at me."

"Hey…you laughed at me…I'm just simply getting you back."

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

They ate their pizza while watching a movie, a personal favourite, "The Notebook." Bringing back nights of memories and how Allie's name came to be. When the movie was over Summer was still awake. Seth decided to bring her to the bedroom in which where he had a surprise waiting for her. He lead her up the stairs to the right to his bedroom. He put his hands over her eyes.

"Cohen what are you doing?"

Seth didn't answer but he led her into the dark room and switched on the lights. He let go of her and she opened her eyes to find candles lit and rose pedals leading to the bed.

"Cohen?"

She was shocked. He had done all this for them. For their last night together before she left for two weeks. He kissed her forehead and left her in the middle of his room. He turned on the CD player in his room and offered Summer his hand. This reminded Summer of that Valentine's Day 17 years prior. Summer grabbed his outstretched hand and they wrapped their arms around each other and danced to the music.

Oh - thinkin' about all our younger years
There was only you and me
We were young and wild and free

Now nothin' can take you away from me
We've been down that road before
But that's over now
You keep me comin' back for more

Baby you're all that I want
When you're lyin' here in my arms
I'm findin' it hard to believe
We're in heaven

And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven

Oh once in your life you find someone
Who will turn your world around
Bring you up when you're feelin' down

Yeah nothin' could change what you mean to me
Oh there's lots that I could say
But just hold me now
Cause our love will light the way

Baby you're all that I want
When you're lyin' here in my arms
I'm findin' it hard to believe
We're in heaven

And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven

I've bin waitin' for so long
For somethin' to arrive
For love to come along

Now our dreams are comin' true
Through the good times and the bad
Yeah - I'll be standin' there by you

And baby you're all that I want
When you're lyin' here in my arms
I'm findin' it hard to believe
We're in heaven

And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven
Heaven

You're all that I want

You're all that I need

As the song ended, Summer pushed Seth towards the bed as they spent an entire night of passion that none of them believed to be real because of the events in the past 15 years.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Summer got ready to go to New York the next day. Summer brought her suitcases to the door, just two.

"See you in a few weeks Sum."

Summer said bye to everyone. She had to hurry up with the kids because they had school. Allie sat in the kitchen with a bagel and coffee. Summer hugged her daughter from behind and kissed her forehead.

"Bye mom…see you in a few weeks."

Allie got up from her spot, put her stuff in the sink and grabbed her school bag. Hugged her mom again, this time it was proper goodbye hug and Allie left for school with Jenn and Marissa with Matt, Nicky and Jeff. Ryan left for work which left Seth to drive Summer to the airport which was the original plan.

Seth and Summer drove to the airport with Death Cab on the radio.

"Cohen? Do we have to listen to Death Cab?"

"Yes."

"Why?"

"Then I wouldn't be able to hear you complain and you know how much I love that."

They arrived at the airport. Summer checked in her bags to be put on the plane. They then walked hand in hand to security where they had to say their final goodbyes. The line wasn't long at all. Seth hugged Summer and neither wanted to let go.

"Okay Cohen…it's just a few weeks."

"I know but I can't wait that long to see you again."

"I know but I'm coming back."

"I'm gonna miss you."

Summer smirked and kissed him long. She didn't wanna leave but she had to. When time came for her to go through security she kissed him one final time and he hugged her.

"Kay Cohen…see you in a few weeks."

Summer passed security and looked back at Seth. He watched her until he could no longer see her. Before she disappeared he blew her a kiss and she blew one back. The next two weeks would be hard on both of them.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

1 week later

"All I'm saying Mr. Cohen is that you are rapidly becoming big in North America and people wanna see a video."

"I get that Todd…but I don't like the idea that you came up with. I'd feel a lot more comfortable if I were the one who came up with the idea."

"If you could come up with something that good that'll impress me then fine. We'll speak tomorrow."

"I only have until tomorrow?"

"Yes."

Todd walked out of the room confident that Seth couldn't do it. Seth went home right away. When he got home, Allie was already sitting in the kitchen doing her homework waiting for her dad.

"Hey pops."

"Allie don't say 'pops' makes me sound old."

"Sorry. How was work?"

"A bloodbath…they want me to make a video."

"So?"

"Wearing a wife beater, swimming in a pool confessing my love for some woman they hired."

"Ew…"

"Yeah and unless I can come up with a better idea we start shooting Monday. So any ideas please give them."

Allie contemplated her father's problem.

"Dad…what about a 'real life' type of thing?"

"What do you mean?"

"Eminem video…Mockingbird."

"Very smart…thanks kiddo."
