Hey everyone, thanks for all your reviews, keep them coming in. Sorry it has taken so long to update but here it is, hope you enjoy.

Tonight wasn't exactly how Neil had planned it. He was hoping to catch up with Summer seeing she had been so busy with school lately and that was no where near what was happening. Summer sat there for the whole meal playing with her food and staring into space. She was so distant and it was starting to scare her father. He had never heard her so quiet and not interested in talking about herself and her life. Every question he would ask all he would get from Summer was a little nod by the head, no eye contact or anything.

"So I heard you had an important test at school today, how was it", he asked in hope of eliciting an actual response, but there was nothing just like last time and the time before and the time before.

Neil took another sip of his drink before confronting Summer about her distance, or trying to anyway.

"Summer what is it, you've said nothing ever since we left the house, what's going on", he asked firmly.

Summer wasn't taking any notice and she kept living in her own little world.

"Summer", he said a little bit louder this time.

This time Summer heard and as much as she didn't want to respond and talk about what was going on she knew she at least owed him an explanation for her behavior.

"What", she said grumpily, her attitude was the same now as what it is when she is watching her favorite how The Valley and gets disturbed, which is the reason why Neil was worried, she never acted this way except for when watching The Valley.

"I want to know what's going on", he announced.

"Daddy I'm fine", she lied and Neil could tell by the way she said it.

"Summer dads know their kids very well and they can tell when they're lying", he said hinting that he knew there was something more.

"It's just", she started but couldn't find the words to finish.

"Does this have anything to do with Seth Cohen", he asked.

Summer let out a deep breath and flipped her hair away from her face knowing their was no escape now.

"After we moved we lost contact and then when we came back I didn't realize it was him until today, when he confronted me and I just can't believe how selfish I've been to him when he used to be my best friend", Summer said wiping a few tears from her eyes, "I don't know if he'll ever forgive me".

Summer couldn't control her tears and so she headed straight over to her dad for a hug. After her mum died and her dad quit his full time business they had more time for each other and they became extremely close, closer than they have ever been and Summer now decided that she didn't need a mother, her father was just enough to make her happy and she believed that every time he hugged her like tonight.

"Summer Seth will forgive you, I know it", he reassured holding her tightly.

"I hope so", she said, "I love you dad".

"I love you too", he said letting her go, "Let's go home and get you into bed".

When Summer got home and jumped into bed it felt impossible to go to sleep. Thoughts and memories were still flooding in her mind. She wanted to remember everything she could about Seth before tomorrow so she could show him that she didn't forget him and wishes that they never lot contact, if only it was that easy.

Summer vaguely remembered the day she left, this was her memory of how it happened.

10 years earlier, the day after Summer's mums funeral. Summer and Seth 5 years old.

Little 5 year old Summer sat on the floor in her empty bedroom with tears rolling down her cheeks. Everything was all a big blur for Summer, she didn't understand why she was never allowed to see her Mummy again and why she was leaving Newport, leaving her friends and family.

Summer picked up Princess Sparkle and stood up to head outside when she heard footsteps coming up the stairs it wasn't until they called her name that she knew who it was.

"Sum", he called.

"Sethy", he said running over to him and giving him a hug.

"I brought Captain Oats so he could say goodbye".

"Good cause I really think Princess Sparkle will miss him".

The two kids sat down with their horses and made them say their goodbyes and Seth and Summer promised each other that they would be best friends forever.

"Summer, we're going", her father called from the bottom of the stairs.

Summer started to cry again so Seth gave her another big hug.

Seth watched as his best friend, only friend got further and further away and faded into the distance.

"Mummy why does Summer have to leave, I don't want her to leave", he asked really upset.

"I know you don't but you'll still talk to her and maybe we might go up there and visit", Kirsten said picking him up and carrying him back inside.

The next day after leaving.

Seth woke up at 5:00 the next morning and sat in the kitchen staring at the phone waiting for Summer to call. They were very smart 5 year olds and they knew that there parents wouldn't want them to call this soon so they made a plan to secretly call each other at 5:00 in the morning so no one would know.

Seth stared at the phone for hours, dosing off every few seconds then opening his eyes to try and stay awake but not succeeding. He fell asleep with his head on the kitchen bench with the phone wrapped in his hand.

Sandy and Kirsten came downstairs at 7:30 and knew exactly what was going on.

Sandy picked Seth up and took him back upstairs to his room and tucked him back in his bed.

"Daddy did Summer call", he asked still half asleep.

"She'll call just go back to sleep", she said softly giving him a kiss on the forehead.
