The next few days went by really quickly with Alex staying with the Cohen's since she lost her apartment in an unfortunate fire that had completely and utterly obliterated it. She and Seth had become as close as Seth was as Ryan and she even came for some of the events Kirsten and Julie organised. Ryan and Marissa could not get enough of each other and this was really starting to tick Seth off big time. One afternoon he came in to talk about doing another comic book project (he scraped the one he was going to do with Zach and Summer for obvious reasons) when yet again he witnessed Ryan and Marissa making out on the Pool House bed. 'Bugger, do they ever stop!' he thought to himself. He went back up to his room and Alex was on his bed reading some of his Spiderman comics.
"Hey Seth" she said.
"Yeah" he replied.
"I was planning on going to that Newport Ball that Kirsten was organising and I was wondering if you could possibly be my date?" she replied cautiously (very unlike her).
"Sure. Its gonna be real good introducing you to my good friend Anna. She's a wild one too you'll like her."
The Newport Ball
Alex had done well ad had chosen a stunning Versace bottle green dress for the evening (She had help from Kirsten). Seth and the rest of the men were in traditional blue bow tie suits. Marissa and Ryan had declined coming (you know how Ryan is about these types of occasions) though Seth knew that he had to suffer with another ball then so would his now brother Ryan.
Anna had come there with another guy. She had had some good times with guys after her short stint with Seth. She really loved her current boyfriend and hoped in settling down with him within the next few years. He was an average brunette but she didn't mind. When she arrived at the dance she spotted out Seth from the crowd and dragged her boyfriend over with her.
Seeing her come over Seth was overjoyed. They had not seen each other since she left for home (Pittsburgh) a bit over a year ago. There was still something Seth didn't know.
She hugged Seth. "It's been way too long Seth" she said. Suddenly she noticed Alex. "Kelza is that really you?"
"Who do ya think Sterner" Alex replied as they hugged.
"Seth why didn't you tell me Alex/Anna was going to be here?" they said in complete unison to him.
"Well I didn't know you two knew each other so well and anyway it wouldn't have happened unless I stepped in to invite you Anna. Of course having two great friends who were both my ex's is quite nerve racking so I'll see you to tomorrow." He replied before running out of the joint as fast as his legs could carry him.
"Seth why you…" said Alex before running on after him.
Anna and her boyfriend couldn't help but chuckle in the sight of the pristine looking Alex running after Seth in a sparkling emerald dress and hi-heals.
"Seth get back here damn it!" Alex said extremely annoyed at this point. Seth in the meanwhile had run out to the near park and was listening to his iPod. "Seth did you hear me?" she screamed as she came up to him.
"Yeah I hear you" he replied. "What's wrong?"
"Did you really know beforehand that Anna was coming? If so why didn't you tell me?" she asked
"Interesting question you asked. To be honest though I had no idea you and Anna even knew each other but that's awesome. I have two great friends who happen to be best friends with each other and friends with my parents too."
"Yeah well I had no idea it was gonna be her. You sure are lucky you got to know both of us as well as you do."
"Yeah well it all comes together when you are a fantastic Cohen such as me"
"Oh really. So that's the reason why you got hit by a girl huh?" she knew what she was talking about. (See season 2 of The O.C if you don't know what I'm talking about)
"Yeah you wish!" he said as he grabbed her in a bear hug.
"Seth, let me go" she said as she squirmed against him.
"In your dreams Als!" he replied in a fit of laughter which she soon joined in on.
It was at this second that Alex realised that she needed Seth in her life. She needed him. Not wanted, needed. She was shocked yet not shocked at the same time. It was a weird feeling and she was determined to find out why she was feeling this way.
End chapter 4
Remember if you want to write fanfictions especially those involving Seth/Alex fanfictions remember you are more than welcome. We need to mend the gap in the lack of this beautiful couple's fanfiction on the site so if you can write a story about them even if it's just a one-shot I'd really appreciate it.
Till next time
