Disclaimer: I know you're sick of reading this part (if you read this part at all), but as you all know I don't own any of the characters. Fox does, which bites. I wouldn't mind owning Seth and Summer though. Enjoy :)
Thanks: to all those who left me comments for the previous chapter. It made my day :)

Chapter 10: Butterfly Pins
"Night Seth" Marissa and Ryan both shouted from downstairs. Seth stopped at the last flight of steps and mumbled a soft goodbye. He waked toward his room slowly, like a turtle. His head down the whole way there. When he reached his doorway, his head turned towards Summer's bedroom. The second room in the whole house he's never been into, Heather's room being the first. He sighed and opened his bedroom door.
The darkness of his room resembled the sadness his heart was feeling. Seth wanted to cry his poor eyes out. Never in his whole life had he ever wanted to cry so bad. He didn't cry though, for crying wouldn't make all the sadness going way. Instead it brings it all back. He threw himself onto the his bed. His legs hung over the end of the bed, touching the ground. Unconsciously he began to swing them, but stop when he kicked something underneath the bed. He jolted up and looked under the bed. It was a box.
Curious to what it was, he pulled it out. Seth smiled to himself. It was a shoe box covered with a very light pink construction paper. Very girly, he thought as he admired the drawn flowers and hearts on it cover. He looked on it's sides and smiled. In big cursive letters it read Summer Roberts. He opened it and was shocked to see that the small box held so many things, almost everything had tags on them.
He picked up an old picture. It was Summer and her father. She had her arms around her father's waist and hugging him tightly. Matthew didn't look all to well nor did Summer. He turned the picture over. There was writting on it. Seth read it aloud. "Me and my father 3 weeks before he passed."
Seth set it a side and picked up a little bag. The things in the bag accidentally fell out of it and landed right by his feet. It was a pair of broken pins for the hair. Not just regular pins, but butterfly pins. The butterflies on each pin had fallen off. There was a note attached to the bag. He read it aloud, "Special gift from a special person"
He sighed and wondered who this special person was. He put the pins and it's fallen pieces back into the bag. Feeling nosey, he got up and took the bag and headed down stairs. Marissa was stretched out on the couch with her head on Ryan's lap. It was quiet, the ony thing that could be heard was the soft music playing in the background. Seth sat himself down across from the couple and took the pins out from the bag. "Marissa, who gave these to Summer"
Marissa rose up and her eyes looked his way. She raised an eyebrow and looked down into Seth's palm. She sat up straigt and rested her head against Ryan's shoulder. Seth gave her a look that read 'hurry up and tell me'. "You did"
"No I didn't. Seriously who gave these to her?" Seth asked again.
"Why? Are you jealous?" Ryan jokingly asked. Seth shot him a glance and he looked away. Marissa nudged Ryan and then glared at him. After a few seconds she turned her attention back to Seth.
"I'm serious you gave it to her" Marissa said. She paused for a minute and continued. "It was when you guys were little, very little. Before Summer was fat or before you became that jerky little kid. You and your mother came up here while your dad visited his mother and.."
"How is it you remember all of this and I don't" Seth asked scratching the back of his ear. He was clearly puzzled.
"I didn't remember until Summer told me. She remembers a lot of things. Anyway on with the story, You guys stayed up here for a week. You, Summer and I hungout the whole week. According to Summer it was very fun, but what'd you expect from someone who was hangingout with the guy of her dreams" Marissa paused. "She was very sad when you left, but before you did, you gave the the pins as presents"
Seth nodded. He still couldn't remember any of it, but took Marissa's word for it anyhow. Ryan, looked at Seth with 'aww how sweet of you' look. Seth rolled his eyes at him then locked his eyes on Marissa. She was looking down at his palms. Seth looked down at his own hands. "They're broken. I thought she this was a special gift"
Seth was clearly trying to ease up the moment. "It is a special gift. She took really good care of it"
"What happened to it?" Ryan asked joining the conversation again.
"Seth broke it" Marissa flat out said. Ryan's eyes bluged out and glared at Seth. "She wore it to her father's funeral. By that time, Summer was chubby and you were jerky. For some reason you pulled it out of her hair and threw it up against a wall. I was so pissed off I would have kicked your ass if it weren't for Summer."
"Seth, fucker," Ryan shook his head. Seth glared at him.
"Whatever Ryan. I was stupid back then, you know how dumb kids act" Seth defended himself. He looked down at the pins and and idea popped into his head. He got up abruptly and hurried up the stairs. Ryan and Marissa watched him, baffled.

A few days later...
Seth snuck out of the house and hopped into the taxi cab that waited for him out on the road. He sat quietly as the taxi sang along with the radio. It was a funny scene. Seth would have laughed, if it weren't for the fear of the taxi driver getting mad. He was a pretty big guy, compared to Seth anyway. The taxi driver turned down the radio, suddenly, and turned his head for a split second. "Judging by the gift in your hand, your girlfriend must be in the hospital?"
Seth nodded and so did the driver. He took a turn to the right, then left and then pulled up to the hospital lobby. Seth got up and reached for his wallet. He paid the driver and ran into the hospital. Seth didn't feel like taking the elevator, so he used the stairs instead. Besides, it was only a floor away. He would reach Summer in no time.
When he reached Summer's door, he could hear her talking. He wondered who it was and knocked. He knocked three more times, before walking into the room. Much to his suprise, Summer was asleep and sleep talking. This sight was funny, more funny than the taxi driver singing.
He pulled up a seat beside her bed and watched her sleep. And listen in on what she was saying. He smiled when he heard his name. Then the smile was turned upside down at the mention of the words 'Daddy, its almost my time. I'll see you real soon'. Seth sighed. He didn't like it when she thought and talked negatively. But he also felt for her, she was fatherless. Just then Summer violently began tossing and turning. Seth immediately shook her. She fluttered her eyes open and looked around. She let out a sigh of relief. It was just a bad dream. She smiled when her eyes fell upon her 'boyfriend'. "Hello there, sunshine"
Summer's smile came wider. She entwined her fingers with him. "Sit down"
Seth pulled the seat closer toward the bed and sat down. He brought his and her hand up to his mouth and placed a short, but meaningful kiss on her hand. She giggled, softly. Sharp pains, could be felt. Summer snatched her hand from Seth and tried to breath. Startled, Seth got up and ran for the door. "Seth"
Seth stopped and turned on his heels. Summer had her hand over her chest, breathing heavily. She was motioning for him to come back, with her free hand. Seth shook his head and told her he'd go get a doctor, but Summer kept insisting he sit down. After several seconds of head shaking, Seth reluctantly went back to his seat. The rapid rise and fall of Summer's chest, scared him.
Finally, her breathing was normal. She moved her hand away from her chest and entwined them once more with Seth's. She smiled up weakly. Seth looked at her, she looked a lot more pale then the the last time he came and visited her, which was only the night before. "I really should get a doctor, you don't look good." Seth got up again, only to have Summer pull him back. She really didn't pull him back, for she was too weak. Seth felt bad and sat down. "Summer, please"
"No. I'm fine," Summer said moving a strand of her that had fallen onto her face as she tried to pull Seth back. She tucked it behind her hear and smiled at Seth, once more. Having him there with her, gave her a very comforting feeling. A feeling that made her feel like she would actually get to live to see the day she turned 25.It would only be eight more years. Seth's grip around her, brought Summer back to reality. "Really I am"
"I know your not. But for the sake of not upsetting you, I won't go get the doctor" Seth said dryly. Summer squeezed his hand as her way of saying 'thank you'. She would have kissed him if it weren't for the energy she didn't not have. As if Seth knew what he wanted to do, he leaned his head in and kissed her softly on the lips. It was the first kiss on the lips of the day. Summer would keep count.
As if her eyes are used to just wondering around the room, they wondered around once more. They fell upon a box on the far table. It was a wrapped box. Seth followed her gaze and chuckled. I wonder if that's for me, Summer thought. "That's for you"
Summer smiled from ear to ear as Seth rose from his seat to get the gift. Shortly after, he came back, sat down and handed her the box wrapped in a pink gift wrap. She took it from him and placed it down beside her. She extended both her arms out, wanting to hug Seth. Seth leaned into them and Summer brought him close to her. "Thanks you". She whispered into his ear. Her breath on his neck, sent tingly feelings through his body.
After pulling away, Summer picked the box up once again. She tore open the wrapper and handed it to Seth, who had his hand extended out to her. She smiled at the sight of a box, she took the lid off and was surpised to see a little card. She read it aloud. "To Summer, hope you like this gift. If you don't, then you don't have to worry. I'll get you a different one. Love Seth. Cohen, you're so cheesy"
"I try" Seth said as Summer looked deeper into the box. She pulled out a velvet box and opened it. Her eyes were stained with tears, that weren't fully ready to come out yet. Her mouth was opened. "You like?"
Summer nodded. It wasn't an expensive gift or a newly bought gift. It was her pair of butterfly pins. The exact ones Seth had gotten for her years ago. She took them out of the box and admired them closely. Something was different though, they were no longer broken. Now the tears were ready to fall and they did. One by one, Seth watched them fall and each time, he wiped them away with his thumb. He would have wiped them away with tissues, if only the hospital room Summer was in provided a box of Kleenex. She put them back in the box and looked straight into his eyes.
She grabbed his face and kissed him long and passionately. It was her unsaid thanks and appreciation of the gift. She had never gotten such a thoughtful gift from anyone, who wasn't a part of her family. Seth was the first. He was the first to do anything for Summer. The first to have crushed on, the first to have given her a meaningful gift, and the first person to have her whole heart belong to. As she kissed him, a strange but warm feeling washed over her. She felt like she was walking on waters. After some thought, Summer came to a conclusion. She was in love. In love with Seth Cohen. Young love, it was the most awesome feeling, ever.
Seth pulled away when the sudden need of air punched in. He licked his lips and looked at her admiringly. She blushed and turned away. Seth with his fingers turned her head back, so she was facing him. They smiled at one another. Summer bit her bottom lip. Seth held her hands tightly and squeezed them really hard. Like before, he brought it up to his lips and kissed them shortly. He couldn't get enough of kissing her. He wished she could just take her somewhere. A place where no one would find them and where it was perfect. Their Shangri-la.
Just then Roger opened the door and was surprised to see that Summer had a visitor. He smiled at the young couple and approached them slowly. Shortly after, Heather walked into the room holding a bouquet of flowers. White lilies, Summer loved them; They were her favorite flowers. Seth saw Summer's eyes light up at the sight of lilies and smiled. Heather put them down and walked over to Summer's bed. She stood besides Roger. He put a supporting hand over Heather's shoulder. His eyes fell upon Summer. "After hour and hours of discussion of whether to allow you to go home and get treated there, I've finally come to a decision. I'm giving it the okay. I'll have a nurse over your house everyday and from time to time, I'll come by during the day, everyday. If that made any sense"
"Thank you Roger," Heather said softly throwing her arms around her friend. She brought him close and hugged him tightly. Very grateful of the outcome of his decision. After releasing him, he said his goodbyes and left. Heather followed him. There was other things that were needed to be discussed.
Seth smiled. He loved the news. Summer would be getting treated at home. No more long drives to the hospital. He would just walk though the door that connected their rooms. Summer, on the other hand, did not look to happy about what was said. "Summer? What's wrong? Don't you want to go home?"
"I do. More than anything" Summer whispered. "It's just I don't want to have be a burden on all of you guys at home, you know"
"Don't worry about that. You won't be" Seth told her. It was the truth, on his part anyway. He would take care of Summer until the world came to an end. That was how much he cared and loved her. She forgave him for the mean things in the past. And by just that small gesture, he changed. Summer smiled a little bit before her eyes wondered off to where her mother had left the lilies. "You love lilies don't you?"
"Yes, there my favorite flowers" Summer said looking at them adoringly. "They remind me of my father. He loved lilies too"
Seth smiled as an idea popped into his head. Just then Roger and Heather walked back into the room. Heather smiled at her daughter. "Sweetie, you get to come home today"
"Really?" Summer asked. "When?"
"This afternoon. After all the paper work is done," Roger added. Seth slowly got up from his chair.
"Summer, I need to get going. I'll be back in the afternoon." Seth told her. Summer nodded. Seth kissed the top of her head and ran out of the room. He ran down the hall into the stairwell and out of the hospital. As he reached the parking lot, he remembered he rode a taxi over. He kicked at the pavement and pulled his cell phone out. He dialed Ryan's number and asked him to pick him up.
After waiting for nearly 20 minutes, Ryan finally arrived. Seth rolled his eyes as he hopped into the passenger seat. "God, took you long enough"
"I was a little preoccupied" Ryan said turning out of the hospital parking.
"Do you think we could make a quick stop before heading home?" Seth asked. Ryan was curious but nodded. Seth thanked him and looked out the window. Summer would be very happy when she came home. "Oh, Summer's coming home today"
