Okay, seeing how its 11:59pm and I just finished, here is the next chapter as promised.
Keep reading and send out a review even if its "you suck donkey balls"...any criticism is welcome.
This chapter, again as promised, is longer than the last two but is still slowly pushing the story along. There are still quite a few more 'events' that I want to happen between certain people so the next couple ones i promise will be interesting...

"That was fast" Summer said looking up at Seth from her spot on the ground.

"I was gone for five minutes. When did this place turn into tanning central?" Seth asked looking around befuddled.

Summer was lying back on a towel in her bikini with the latest copy of Cosmopolitan and a various mixture of lotions and creams around her.

Summer glared at him through her sunglasses, which covered half her face. "What did Ryan say?" she asked as Seth sat down beside her.

"Uhhh, nothing actually."

"Nothing?" Summer lowered her glasses at him, raising her eyebrows not believing Seth.

"Yeah, he's, uh, passed out" Seth's eyes were squinted a little, as if he was focusing on something, yet his eyed never stayed in the same place for more than a few seconds.

"What do you mean?" She questioned, looking a little concerned.

Seth looked from place to place before steadying his dark eyes to look into hers.

"I found..a bunch of empty vodka bottles and beer too in his room"

Summer looked at the hurt expression on his face, but it only got worse when she looked straight into his eyes. It was amazing how well she could tell what he was thinking just by looking into his eyes. It was like he let his whole world open up to her. She knew his thoughts were past Ryan right now, now lingering on his mother. Summer knew how hard it was for Seth to deal with his mother's drinking but now to deal with another case of it was beyond her comprehension. She only hoped, for his sake, that this was a one time deal.

Summer looked over at Seth with sad eyes, taking his hands in hers. "Maybe it's just a one time thing?" she offered.

"Yeah, maybe" Seth said half heartedly, trying to shrug the whole topic off.

"Come here" Summer cooed, pulling Seth head towards her. She kissed him softly on the lips. She pulled away with a warm smile that would light up even the darkest of rooms.

"We'll keep an eye on him" she whispered to him. Seth responded only with a nod as he settled down next to Summer. He recalled a conversation he had with Summer earlier, her pleading him to get some type of tan on his body.

'A tan would make your arms look less bird-like' she implored.

Seth smiled and just enjoyed the comfort that Summer offered for the second time today.

"Cohen, how long did you say it would take to get to Honolulu?" Summer whined. It was only the second day of their journey and she was already bored.

"Um, about 14 more…..days" Seth replied looking for something to eat in the cupboards.

"Days!" Summer repeated, not sounding the least bit thrilled.

"Summer, we just left yesterday" Seth said not prepared to tolerate her whining already.

"I know.." Summer calmed down enough to notice Ryan enter the room.

"Ryan, man, we're just about to eat" Seth called out motioning for Ryan to sit down.

Ryan responded with a simple raise of his eyebrows and sat down. Seth and Summer both looked at each other and shrugged, knowing there was nothing they could do at the moment.

"So where've you been? Haven't seen you in a while?" Seth started, not enjoying the silence. Ryan looked at the plate of food that Summer and Seth cooked. It was only the second day, and he was already getting sick of mac and cheese.

"Wasn't feeling well" Ryan sighed. Not looking up from his plate, he continued to play around with the cheese covered noodles. He was also trying not to show the colossal headache that enveloped him.

"Maybe 'cause you were….." Seth stopped in the middle of his sentence realizing what he was about to say. Summer's eyes grew bigger as she glared at him and unnoticeably shook her head at Seth. "…uh, jet lagged." Seth tried finishing his sentence.

Ryan looked at him confused. "Except we took at boat" he informed.

"Perhaps sail lagged then?" Seth offered.

"Cohen."
Seth looked at Summers unimpressed expression. He nodded in defeat and just sat quietly and ate his dinner. The three sat in silence, something that had become more common this summer, and left each other to his/her thoughts.

The two weeks consisted of incessant chattering and bantering between Seth and Summer. Ryan however, started to act more like himself and much to the relief of Seth, hadn't passed out from drinking since the first night. Instead, they hung out as regular teenagers did, forgetting pretty much all their troubles. The three were in a world of their own, giving much proof to the expression 'Out of sight, out of mind' given that they were floating in the middle of the North Pacific Ocean. They would play drinking games; reminisce about earlier and simpler times (much to Seth's discontent) and Ryan even offered to teach the two Texas Hold Em poker. The three were almost complete again, despite the gaping hole that had been left in their foursome.

"Finally" Summer was the first to exhale in relief when they finally sailed into the harbour. It had seemed like an eternity since they last set foot on soil. The first manner of business was finding their hotel. Although the cruiser yacht was luxurious, they all could agree that there's nothing like an even more luxurious 5 star hotel. All of this, of course was compliments of the Cohens. Seth and Ryan grabbed their bags and tried to keep up with Summer as ran about, trying to flag down a taxi.

"Come on Cohen!" Summer yelled at an over burdened Seth who was not only carrying his bags but half of Summers too. Ryan, although walking very awkwardly, wasn't having as much of a problem. After finally getting a taxi, they threw all their bags in the trunk.

"I think I threw out my back" Seth complained. He got in the car and hunched over, leaning his head against the window.

When they arrived at the hotel they were all amazed at the view. Their hotel stood right across from the Waikiki Beach. They were used to sand and beaches back home, but Hawaii was in a league of its own.

"Damn, definitely not in Newport anymore" Ryan sighed taking in the amazing visuals.

Seth collapsed on the bed as soon as they were inside their rooms, still with all the luggage hanging off him. Seth and Summer had one room and Ryan had his own. It was midday but all three agreed that they would stay inside their rooms tonight and go exploring tomorrow.

"Cohen, get off my bags, you're squishing them!" Summer whined.

"I can't feel my arms" Seth said, his words muffled by the blankets on the bed.

"Good, then you wont mind me doing this" Summer began slapping him on the arm.

"Get off the bed!" She shouted through her teeth.

"Alright! Jeez woman!" Seth attempted to untangle himself from all the straps and handles that bound him together. Finally after twisting his arms in ways they weren't supposed to twist, he broke free but fell backward off the bed onto his back.

His eyes were closed tightly, afraid to move any limb of his body in fear of damaging himself even more. "Definitely threw out my back" he exhaled loudly.

"You're such a baby" Summer couldn't help but giggle and shake her head.

After unpacking and finally settling down, they ordered room service for supper and curled up together for a movie.

"There is no way I am watching another comic book movie Cohen. That's all we've watched for the past two weeks!"

"Uh, excuse me, I do remember having to endure the first two seasons of The Valley a couple dozen times" Seth sputtered, knowing that he would have to hide Summer's DVDs for the return trip.

"Well that doesn't matter because it's my turn to pick anyways." Summer grinned knowing that she would have to hide Seth's DVDs for the return trip.

After bickering about which movie to watch for 5 minutes, Seth and Summer found one and finished the night in each others arms.
