Pink! It was pink, two lines. What did that mean, oh god, what am I doing?
This can't be happening. No wait, pink is definitely a negative right, it…it has to be a negative. No way it's a positive, where the hell did I put those instructions.
Summer raced around her ensuite bathroom, clothes flying everywhere, until she found the little rectangular box. She ripped out the small folded piece of paper and collapsed onto the floor in a heap. The small tears forming in the corner of her eyes, slightly blurred the writing as she slowly unfolded the paper, scared at what it might reveal.
Pink, one line, negative. Summer started to laugh a little….she wasn't pregnant.
'Wait one line, what about two lines' she exclaimed to herself.
She began to scan the paper again, with a small lump forming in her throat. She knew in the back of her mind what this little white plastic thing was telling her, she just didn't want to believe it. Once she saw the truth, written in black and white, she would have to face it though. She was pregnant, there wasn't a doubt about it.
'99 accuracy huh, this can't be happening' she thought to herself as she slumped against the bathroom wall, running her fingers through her hair. Through the corner of her eye, she spied a Death Cab novelty band tee, laying next to her bed, and her thoughts immediately went to Cohen.
'Cohen, this is all his fault, I swear the next time I see him I gunna go rage blackout on his ass'! she muttered under her breath.
At that second her cell rang. She looked at the caller ID and saw Cohen's cheesy grin smiling up at her. A small smile crept onto her own face but she couldn't face him, at least not yet. She had no idea what she felt about this, let alone what he would feel. She threw the cell onto her bed and walked back into the bathroom to clean up the evidence and take a nice long hot shower. She couldn't think about this, at least not yet.
Seth sat propped up against the headboard on his bed, phone in one hand, Captain Oats in the other. He wore a puzzled look on his face as Summer's cell rang out, reaching her voicemail. He hung up before he could leave a message.
'Where was she' he thought. Although he was interrupted by a knock on his door.
'Summer' he asked, even though he couldn't see the person.
'No sweetie, its your mom' Kirsten replied, stepping into the room and into Seth's sight.
'Oh hey mom' Seth replied, with an obvious hint of disappointment in his voice.
'Glad to see you appreciate our presence son' Sandy commented as he joined his wife in his son's room.
'Always do dad, the feeling of sheer excited swells up inside of me everytime you step into my room' Seth commented back.
'I sense sarcasm' Kirsten replied, a small smile forming in the corners of her mouth.
'Your very perceptive mother' Seth exclaimed, turning back and glancing at his cell, hoping summer face would appear on the caller ID. Silence surrounded the room, until Sandy spoke up.
'So son, your mom and I are just about to head out to the latest Newspie function and we just wanted to check on you. Well actually your mother wanted to check on..' Sandy was interrupted before he could finish.
'Seth, honey, is everything alright. I haven't seen Summer lately and you've been looking kinda down' Kirsten asked, shooting a glare in the direction of Sandy.
'Yer mom, everythings fine. I just think she's freaking out about college, you know. What the fashion on the east coast is and all is totally different to here, plus leaving Newport behind for Providence and not knowing anyone over there…..except me of course, and Taylor and Ryan going to UCLA…….' Seth rambled on as his parents just stood there, nodding their heads in complete silence. 'Actually' Seth exclaimed, 'I might go find her now' he said, jumping up from his bed, cell in hand and running out the door, before his parents could get another word in.
'I swear, he getting stranger by the year' Sandy muttered, although loud enough for Kirsten to hear.
'Well he is your son', Kirsten exclaimed before leaving a shocked Sandy to process what she'd just said, before he could come up with a witty remark of his own. 'Well are you coming Sandy, we're going to be late'! Kirsten yelled up the stairs as she headed for the car.
As Seth drove over to Summer's house, he admitted to himself that she'd definitely been avoiding him, but he didn't know why. Was she having doubts about Providence, or doubts about him? The closer he got to her house, the more he seemed to worry. He loved her so much, she wouldn't break up with him right…..right!
