Author's Note: Hey there, this is my first OC fan fiction; and I love the show, Seth and everyone else. I absolutely love Summer and Seth together.. But I wanted to see how this would go and come out and if ya'll would like it. I hope that you can accept the fact that one of the biggest Summer/Seth fans wanted a break of the fighting, then getting back together again; only to fight. This is a Kaitlin and Seth fan fiction, set a few days after Summer and Seth have the 'wedding' talk. I make it go differently. This is in Kaitlin's perspective. Yeah. Review!
To even comprehend how the girl felt on her sixteenth birthday would be hard to explain. A very heavy feeling hung over Kaitlin Cooper's body and mind. It was like a haze that would fill her mind if she would even think about Will. Oh, Will. Even though she had broken up with him, she had somewhat missed his dorky statements and that smile. Oh, for fuck's sake, it was her sixteenth birthday and there she was.
Laying down in her four poster bed, the room dark; curtains pulled over the large windows, only emitting light from the top of the fabric and the ends. The blankets were covered up to her chin; a frazzled mess of dark brown curls the only thing of the young girl that showed. The only human communication she had received was two hours ago when her mom, Julie came in to tell her that she and Taylor were going into town to get last minute things for the birthday party.
She didn't want an effing birthday party. In her opinion, it would be a stupid waste of time. Will wouldn't come, simply because nobody would have thought to ask him. Even if they did ask him, she wouldn't doubt he would tell the messenger that Kaitlin had broken up with him, not the other way around. And even then, she was positive he'd laugh and then hug that band geek of a friend that had threatened him.
After about ten more minutes of moaping around, Kaitlin threw her blankets back, revealing a pair of boy shorts and a tan baby-doll t-shirt. The girl's eyeliner was smudged and mascara had definitely met water the night before because there were faint lines reaching her cheeks.
Kaitlin opened the door to her large room and simply popped her head out and listened intently. She heard someone downstairs and they spoke in a high pitched voice to something or someone by the name of 'Pancakes.' Oh, it was Summer. Kaitlin leaned against the door frame and frowned softly at the sound of Summer's voice.
We're going to make it all right, just you and me, Pancakes. We don't need Seth!
Oh yeah. About five nights ago, Seth and Summer had retired to Summer's room and about seven minutes later, Seth had emerged with a somber look. Okay, so maybe Kaitlin was eavesdropping…and watching them. But could you honestly blame her? No. After all, Marissa had always told Kaitlin when she was away at school that Seth and Summer were always made for each other.
Marissa was there for the beginning of the Summer Roberts and Seth Cohen relationship ; Kaitlin was there for the demise.
Kaitlin would not dare go downstairs when Summer was there. After all, Summer would probably ask why Kaitlin wasn't happy and stuff since it was her birthday, and when Kaitlin would tell her about Will, she'd compare Will to Seth. Not okay with her, no way Jose.
All right, Pancakes, let's go!
Kaitlin envisioned her friend walking with the bunny rabbit in her purse, walking to the front door. When she heard it open and close right afterwards, Kaitlin walked downstairs and sighed loudly. It was times like these she wished she was back at school. Away from all of this drama, away from Julie, away from Kirsten, away from Bullit.
Actually, Bullit was the one reason she actually enjoyed Newport at times. He was just so sweet and caring. Gordon Bullit was the dream stepfather for Kaitlin Cooper and the dream husband for Julie Cooper. Just, she hadn't noticed it yet.
"All right, let's get some food," she muttered to herself, yawning and walking towards the fridge. She bent down to examine what she could eat to quiet her groaning and grumbling stomach.
"Never mind then," the girl stated, her hazel covered eyes showing no food in the damned fridge. All she wanted was one thing to just stuff into her mouth; she was starving and knowing her mother; the one who thought ice chips was lunch; she would have to wait and eat until the party later tonight.
The party that would harbor many of the town's elite and rich was to happen at eight o'clock sharp. This party was being thrown by Julie and Taylor with a little financial backing from ol' Bullit himself.
No, Kaitlin was not going to throw some over the top, crazy MTV's My Super Sweet Sixteen bashes. On the contrary, the party would be small to Newport and Julie's standings. She didn't care, she wasn't a starlet, she was just turning sixteen. Honestly.
The newly sixteen year old was ripped away from her thoughts as she heard the front door being knocked on.
----------------------------------------
Seth walked up the many stairs that led to the door of the Cooper/Roberts home. He knew he would be super early, but he had told Summer he would come and see her and Pancakes, just to see how the relationship that had been going on for three and a half years would be going on after the rejected proposal.
He had taken it pretty rough, the whole, "I'm not ready to marry you," thing by the girl he loved. But he figured, it just wasn't time. Cohen though, to be honestly, he was sick of having to wait and wait for Roberts for her to be ready.
Shit, now that he thought about it, he was pretty much over that after Tijuana. After all, Summer could have done the same thing Marissa had done. Doubt it..
He needed his mind off of Summer. The only problem was, he realized this after he had knocked on the door.
The lanky six foot two raven haired man sighed and stuck his hands in his pockets of his blue jeans. His chest was covered with a black t-shirt that promoted the name of his favorite band at the moment, 'The Subways' in yellow ink over a New York street sign.
He cleared his throat before seeing the door swing open, his dark eyes fixating themselves on the small girl in front of him. Kaitlin. She did remind him a lot of Marissa as much as it pained him to say it, and he knew that Ryan felt the same way.
"Hey, birthday girl.." he said with a grin and a nod of his head. "Is Summer here?" he asked, raising a brow.
"Oh! Seth, she just left with Pancakes," she stated with a shrug of her shoulders. "Oh, thanks." she grinned. "I was wondering why you would come here all early, 'course it's for Summer." she teased. "Here, come in." she stated, moving back so he could enter the lavish home.
Seth stepped in and smirked. "Oh, don't be like that. I could've come to wish you a happy birthday," he stated, matching her teasing tone. "You all right?" he asked, looking at her eyes that had the darkened make up around them.
"What? Oh!" she said, frowning. Oh damn, what a dork! She knew she should've checked her reflection before she checked the door. "Uh, I had a rough night last night." she informed, looking up at Seth who had a pure look of concern on his face.
"Oh? Anything I can help with?" he asked.
"Hmm, doubt it." she shrugged. "Boy drama." she stated, hearing Seth chuckle softly.
"That's life," he informed with a nod. "Well, drama with the opposite sex."
"Thanks, Dr. Phil." she teased with a small giggle.
Seth smirked, "Well," he stated. "All right, serious question," he stated. "You ready for this?"
"Well, what is it?"
"What do you want for your birthday?" he asked.
Kaitlin gave him a look and frowned before thinking for a moment. When the silence was broken, it was Kaitlin, starting to speak.
"I want," she said, "Don't laugh," she smirked.
"I won't, I promise." he nodded.
"I want a boyfriend who is funny, sweet, caring, can be a dork one minute then totally serious the next." she rattled off. "And then, I want a boyfriend who is older," she stated. "More mature." she stated.
Seth grinned, "Haha, you're starting to sound more and more like Julie and Summer at the same time, it's kind of freaky," he smirked.
"All right," he said, nodding. "I'll get out of your hair so you can get ready for you party and I'll try to get you…a boyfriend who is…" he paused.
"Funny, sweet, caring, dorky, serious, older, mature, hot." she stated.
"Fuck, I didn't take notes," Seth teased. "All right, you just…relax and have a good day and I'll see you tonight, all right?" he asked before stepping forward, hugging the small female who was a few years younger.
Seth couldn't help but linger on the hug, his arms wrapped around her warm body, smirking softly.
"Mmm, all right." Kaitlin smiled. "All right, I'll see you later tonight." she stated before feeling Seth's lips press against her forehead in a nice gesture.
"Bye." he told her before walking out of the house, leaving Kaitlin in a small state of shock.
