Thank you to everyone who reviewed!It really means a lot to me to know that you took the time to review my work. So here is Chapter 2, and I know it's not as long as Chapter 1 but I'm sorry. I just didn't want her to meet Seth again until Chapter 3 :). Read and Review as always!


Chapter 2

As Summer got off the plane, her heel got stuck in a crack in the tile and broke. "Damn it!" She picked up her shoes and walked barefoot around the terminal. She walked over to the luggage belt and waited as it came around. She watched the suitcases come around twice and realized her's wasn't apart of them.

She determindly walked over to the airport help. "Excuse me?" When the people on the other side of the desk didn't do anything except continue talking she started ringing the bell. She didn't stop either.

"Ok. I get it." The person took the bell from her and placed it under the desk.

"Hi." Summer said with an attitude. "I don't know if you've noticed but I've been standing here for quite some time. My heel broke while I was getting off the plane, and I have no luggage. Don't mess with me right now."

The airport worker just started at her with a look on her face that thought Summer was crazy.

"Don't look at me like that. I would just like you to find my luggage for me please before I burn this place down!"

"Summer!"

Summer turned around and saw Sandy and Kirsten standing near the luggage belt with her luggage sitting next to them. Summer turned around to face the airport worker.

"Looks like your parents found your luggage." The airport worker said rudely.

"Haha. You wish. I don't even know those people. Thankfully they helped me out and found it for me. Thanks for the help,
jackass."

She turned around and walked towards Sandy and Kirsten. When she reached them, they both pulled her in for a tight hug which she of course accepted.

"Hey." Summer smiled at them both. "How are you guys doing?"

They looked at eachother before looking at the ground. "Okay. As good as can be expected."

Summer couldn't help but look around for Seth. Sandy and Kirsten noticed her looking for him.

"He's not here Summer." Kirsten said sincerly. "He-He feels guilty."

Summer just nodded her head. Of course Seth was on the boat with Ryan. He was with Ryan in his last hours. He was probably driving the boat too, and noticed the other, much larger boat coming. He probably tried as much as he could to avoid it,
but he just couldn't.

"Come on. Let's get going, when we get back we can talk some more."

They all walked out of the airport and Summer smelt the polluted California air. It wasn't anything like Minnesota. In Minneosta, she could atleast go outside, take a deep breath of air, without choking.

As they pulled into the Cohen's household Summer didn't notice anything different. Everything seemed the same, except there were a few baby toys outside.

Sandy took Summer's luggage out of the car and they headed up to the house. As they opened the door they could hear loud cries coming for the play pen in the middle of the living room.

"Damn it Seth." Kirsten ran towards the little cry and picked the baby up. Summer was curiours and followed Kirsten into the living room.

"Summer, this is Rachel."

Summer just smiled at the little girl. "Can I hold her?"

"Of course." Kirsten handed her over to Summer who smiled at the little girl. Rachel grabbed ahold of Summer's big finger.

"She's adoarble." SUmmer pointed out.

"I know." Kirsten said.

"When did this happen?" Summer smiled at Kirsten.

"Oh." Kirsten said, realization hitting her. "Rachel's not ours Summer. Rachel is Ryan's daughter."

Summer's face was filled with shock. "Oh god..." She hesitated with her next question. "Is there a mother?"

Kirsten slowly shook her head. "No. Tara died as she was giving birth to little Rachel here. So, we said we would take care of her if anything ever happened to Ryan."

"Oh no. Poor little girl lost both of her parents in the same year." Summer pointed out.

Kirsten just nodded her head and Sandy walked into the living room.

"How's Rachel doing?" He said walking up to Summer.

"She's great." Summer pointed out, doing little baby noises at Rachel.

"Good." Sandy said. "Um..Summer i'll carry these up to the guest room."

Summer handed Rachel to Kirsten. "No, that's okay Sandy. I have a hotel waiting for me just up the road." She really didn't,
she was just trying to be polite.

"Don't be silly Summer. The guest room is much better than some hotel room." Kirsten said.

Summer smiled. "If you insist. Truth be told, I didn't even have a hotel room. I was just being polite."

"You're past being polite Summer. You're basically my daughter." Kirsten and Summer shared a smile while Sandy started walking up the stairs.

"I'll be right back girls."

"We weren't worrying." Kirsten said smiling at Summer. "Let's go into the kitchen and get something to eat. You hungry?"

"A little bit."

They walked into the kitchen and Kirsten made Summer a sandwhich. They sat and talked while they caught up on eachother's lives, and what's been going on in Newport since she's been gone.

"Thank you so much for the sandwhich Kirsten. But I think i'm going to go upstairs and take a nap. I'm kinda tired."

"Ok sweetie, we will be down here. I'm really not sure where Seth is, he must have took off. He was suppose to be watching Rachel too." Kirsten frowned.

Summer stood up and walked up the stairs. On her way, she passed by Seth's bedroom. She was curious to go in there, see what's different or if it's the same. She looked down the hallway to see that nobody was coming and quickly opened and shut the door. She walked into the room and saw his room was exactly the same. On his bed were pictures of him and Ryan from Christmas and graduation and Ryan's wedding. She looked through them and laughed at a few of them before putting them back.

Something sitting on his computer desk caught her eye. She slowly made her way over to it, and realized it was a small picture of her and Seth. They were at the beach and he had his arms wrapped around her. She remembers that day, Ryan and Marissa were there too. There was a picture just like this with only Ryan and Marissa. She smiled at it and picked it up. She flipped it over and on the back it said 'The Love of my Life, Summer Roberts.' Summer frowned and placed the picture back on the computer desk.

Summer looked around at all the posters he still had on his walls. They were all the same, he did add a new Death Cab poster for their new cd and a few more Yakuza movie posters. She walked towards the bed to sit down when she kicked something under the bed. She got down on her knees and looked under there and found a photo album. She opened it up and on the first page it said 'The Fab Four'. She flipped through the album and saw many pictures of all of them. They were pictures up until high school, when the fab four started to deteriorate after that. She smiled at a few pictures from Prom, when she was wasted, and a few more from graduation when they all looked like they were on top of the world. She flipped through a few more pages then but the book back down under Seth's bed.

She noticed Captian Oats sitting on his rightful throne, on the nightstand next to Seth's bed. She picked him up and pretended to pet his fake fur.

"Hey Oats. How has Cohen been? Huh? I hope he's doing alright. I'm sure it's hard without Ryan here. I brought Princess Sparkles so maybe you guys can hang out later."

She carefully placed Captain Oats back on the nightstand. When she heard the door open and shut downstairs, she stood up from the bed and quickly raced to the door. She opened it and found Seth staring right back at her, shocked to see Summer Robert's standing, once again, in his bedroom.
