Chapter two: Welcome to Seth's world
Seth Cohen had everything he ever wanted. He was married to Summer for eight years now, he even had a five year old daughter named sarah. His Graphic Novel "Atomic County", was just starting to get critical and commercial acclaim. Seth Cohen had it all, then it all came crashing down.
It had been eight years since he had seen Ryan, he came to the wedding, then the two just drifted apart. He often thought of his old friend, he even sent him every issue of his novel, after all, the ironist needed a sidekick, and Ryan "fists of fury" Gatwood filled the role perfectly. One day, while Seth was hard at work on an issue, a knock at his door broke his concentration. He was frustrated and said " This better be importa..." The words on his tongue died away at the sight of him. Ryan Atwood and Seth Cohen, together again.
The look on Seth's face made Ryan want to just walk away again, Seth was so happy to see him, and it killed Ryan inside because of the news he had to deliver.
"Oh my god, Ryan! It's been eight years man!" Seth managed to say with that ear to ear smile Ryan grew to miss. "Dude come in, please, come in." Seth's warmth and kindness shocked Ryan, he had not see him in eight long years, but you wouldn't know it from his reaction.
Seth's wife, and daughter's arrival through the doorway broke the akward silence that had filled the room, both men sat with cups of coffee, not knowing what to say, and not knowing how to say it.
"Chino? Oh my god Ryan!" Summer said while walking up to , then hugging Ryan. The look of confusion on the little girl's face made Ryan hurt inside. With all the happiness of reunion, his reason for coming was far from joyful.
"Mommy, who's that?"
"An old friend sweety" Summer said with a smile. Sarah's inquizitive expression left Ryan feeling uncomfortable. All he could do was smile and wave to the little girl, who made no attempt at a response."
"Honey" Seth exclaimed "why don't you go watch a movie, or play with some of your toys?"
"Can I play with captain oats daddy?" Ryan laughed at the fact that Seth still had the toy horse he had as a child.
"Sure honey, go ahead." The absence of the little girl made Ryan's stomach turn, now there were no more excuses to avoid his mission.
"So Ry, what brings you to my home?"
Ryan's heart ached badly, he had to tell his best friend the news no man wants to hear
"Seth...your father, is ummmm...your father is dead."
Seth dropped his cup to the floor causing it to break into a million pieces, Seth felt his heart do the same.
Sorry if this chapter wasn't very eventful, I just wanted to give alot of insight into Seth's life, and Ryan's struggle with his task. I'll try to update A.S.A.P. I hope you're enjoying the story. Please review, and let me know what you think.
