The Return of the Lost Son

Chapter 1 – Looking Back At The Past

He sat on his bed. Now he was all alone again. Ryan was the only real friend he ever had and now when he was gone, what was it really left in Newport to live with. Off course now he had Summer. Summer Roberts. The girl who he had loved for so many years now loved him back. But it just wasn't enough.

The most of his things were already on the Summer Breeze. So he took his bag and took a last look at the room. He threw 2 notes at his desk and then he was gone. Seth Cohen had left his home and wouldn't return in a long time.

Summer woke up by the phone ringing. She glanced at the clock. It was only 10. Who could be calling so early?

"Hello" she said as she picked up the phone. She heard a woman sobbing on the other line. "Kirsten! What is going on? Has something happened to Seth?"

"You should come here Summer. I don't want to take this over the phone.

Summer quickly put on some clothes and ran to the Cohen house as fast as she could.

Kirsten and Sandy read the letter over and over again.

Dear mum and dad

When you read this I'll probably be some way out in the ocean. I know you aren't gonna like this idea that I thought of but I have to get some me time and think some stuff through. That could take forever and when I'm done I'm not even sure if I want to come back. Maybe I'll call you some time. Please don't think that it's your fault.

Seth Ezekiel Cohen

P.S. Please give the other letter to Summer D.S.

They just couldn't understand that their other son also had left them. Kirsten was speechless and couldn't stop crying and Sandy just sat there in silence when Summer burst through the door.

"What is going on? Where is Cohen?"

"… He's gone Summer. He wanted you to have this" Sandy replied and gave her the note.

She sat in a chair and looked at the envelope. Seth was gone. He had left her all alone in stinking Newport. How could he do that to her? Just leave and give her a fucking note. At that moment she was so pissed at him.

"I think I want to be alone when I read this" she said and walked up to Seth's room.

The room looked empty without Cohen. Dark and soulless. She sat on his bed with Captain Oats and opened the envelope and took out the letter.

Dear Summer

I want to start with saying I'm sorry. I am so sorry for leaving you there without giving you a proper goodbye but you would've just convinced me not to go. I know you will hate me now and I guess I deserve it but I didn't feel like I had any other choice but to leave.

Before Ryan came I had nothing. If I would have died back then the only one who would have noticed would be my folks. Then when he came my life changed. I had a best friend and after some time I had the most beautiful and lovely girlfriend in the world.

But when he left it felt like he left with all that. The only thing that kept me from going was the love that I feel for you. Because I love you so much Summer. I hope you know that.

I don't know how long I'm going to be away. I don't even know if I will ever come back. So I want you to promise me one thing. Get over me. I'm not good enough for you. You deserve so much better so I hope that you can move on. Can you do that for me? I hope so.

Goodbye then. You will always be on my mind. Forever.

Love Cohen ♥

She sat for a minute and then she started to cry. She cried and cried. Kirsten came up and they hugged eachother. They just stood there in silence for a while.

"How could he do this? How can he just walk away and leave us here?"

"I don't know Summer. We just have to hope that he comes back soon…"

He set sail and of he was. He sailed out on the ocean and stood up so he could feel the breeze blowing. The Summer Breeze. Then he sat down and started to think. Where am I going to? Tahiti? No that was too obvious. Maybe Hawaii. Only time could tell where I'm going to he thought.

In the corner of his eye he saw the photo. A photo of him and Summer together on the pier. They looked happy and they had no idea what was ahead of them.

"I Love you Summer Roberts. But I am not worthy to be with you. You are better of without me"

I'm starting to lose it he thought. Talking with myself and I have only been out for a couple of hours.

Ryan had just started to unpack his stuff when his cell phone rang.

"Hello who is this?"

"He's gone Ryan. He left with his boat shortly after you:"

Ryan had never been as sad as he was when he heard Sandy's voice on the other line.

"Oh my god I'm so sorry. How are you guys doing?"

"It's hard but he's a big boy and can take care of himself. I just hope he comes back soon. I just thought you should know."

"Ok thanks. Do you want me to come there?"

"No you don't have to. Teresa needs you. Talk to you later. Bye."

"But Sandy… Bye..."

"Who was it Ryan?" Teresa entered the room.

"It was Sandy. Seth is gone. He took his boat and left."

"What? Maybe you should go to them. They need you. They are your family."

"Yeah but you are too you know" he said and laid his hands on her belly. "You are too"

"Yeah!.. That's right. I am..."

I know my english maybe isn't the best but that's because I'm from Sweden and I'm only 15 years old. I would be glad if you came with some ideas because I would be happy to use them. So read and review and give me some ideas. I have written the four first chapters. It's going to be one more chapter with the consequences of Seth leaving and then the story will fast speed 5 years ahead. RR!
