Set after Seth tried pot for the first time

Disclaimer: I don't own anything to do with the OC.

Seth knew he wouldn't be able to hide this from his family forever. He knew it was wrong and it was going to ruin his chances of getting into Brown. It could potentially murder his relationship with Summer. But right now all he could think of was the amazing feeling of floating up above all his petty problems back on earth. Right now he was floating high up above all his worries. He was care free just like when he was 4 years old running around and playing with Captain Oats. Back then the only thing he had to worry about was what kind of cookies he'd be having for a snack that day. Or what episode of Spiderman would be on when he got back from his junior kindergarten class. When he had the pot he escaped. He felt like a new man. He had a new start. A fresh start.

He had told himself once Ryan had found his stash that it was stupid what he was doing. He had told Ryan that he would stop and it was crazy for him to even think he'd get addicted. He now knew he was wrong. He was a druggie just as much as Marissa had been an alcoholic and there was nothing he could do about it now. He was addicted. He hadn't been able to tell himself that for a while. Maybe he was in denial. Or maybe he honestly thought he wouldn't get addicted. Whatever the reason was he couldn't run from it anymore. He craved a joint almost every minute he wasn't actually smoking one.

He saw all those cop shows. He knew that if he continued he would probably turn out just like all those people that get caught by the police and brought into jail. But he wasn't thinking of his future. Right now he didn't care about anything. When he looked down he realized his first joint of the day was almost finished. As he got up to get a second he realized that he could die if he kept this up for long enough.

Sure, he was fucking up his life for the long haul, but for now all he could think of was the feeling of being 4 again. And that feeling was amazing. Seth was on top of the world when he smoked. And nothing, and nobody, could take away his escape.

Please review. This is only my second fanfic and no ones reviewing for my other story so I decided maybe its cuz i'm a crap writer but I like writing so just let me know if you like reading it or not. Thanks.
