I just wanted to put this up, to see if you are interested in this story, it will be a crossover between South of Nowhere and the OC.

I don't have much more than this written and it will be awhile before the next chapter will be up, but as I said before I wanted to see if this is an idea to continue.

And I don't have a title for the story just yet so at this moment I'm using the title of the first chapter. I'll let you know when I change the title.

Disclaimer: I don't own South of Nowhere or The OC, I', just using the characters for my story.

So please let me know what you think and if I should continue this, and any kind of feedback would be great.

Chapter One Starting over

Alex was driving home.

But where was home at this point.

It wasn't Newport and it wasn't with her parents in Los Angeles.

She couldn't go back to live with Jodie either.

There was just one person that she could go to but would she be able to live there, there was some part of that that was just like living with her parents but she would have her cousin and her uncle that wouldn't judge her, but at the same time how would herb aunt react.

She hadn't seen them since they moved out to LA from their previous life in Ohio.

It was now night and the blonde was standing on the door step in front of her aunt and uncles house in Los Angeles, she had left Newport the same morning and now she needed some place to sleep and live.

Maybe she could go back to school; she had been good in school if you just could look beside the fact that she was kick out of most school.

She lifted her hand and knocked on the door, she could feel how the tears once again began to build up again, she had been crying since she left Newport and this was the last thing that she wanted to show them but she knew that she could sleep here at least for a night.

She could hear that there was someone on the other side of the door and the door opened and there an older blonde was standing, she looked just like her own mother and that was the hard part.

When the woman saw Alex standing there she let her in and took the younger girl in her arms just holding her, the older woman didn't ask any questions this time but Alex knew that the

questions would be coming soon. But at this moment she was happy that it didn't.

"Honey, set one more plate. We have company." The older blonde woman said to her husband. "Alex I hope that you at least stay for dinner."

Alex just nodded, she couldn't trust her own voice, and this was going to be harder than she thought. Alex and the woman walked in to the kitchen and she could see that there was a place for her to sit and besides that there was her aunt and uncle and then her two cousins but there were one more plate that she didn't know how that belonged too.

It was probably a boyfriend or a girlfriend to one of her cousins.

"Alex, it's nice to see you again." The man said and looked at her, she could see that he was still the same man as he had been the last time she had seen him but she could also tell that her aunt was treating her differently, she had changed and for the better this time around.

There was something behind that and that would be great to know and she had a feeling that she would know that soon.

"kids, dinner!" her aunt yelled and they could hear that someone was banging on a door upstairs and they could also hear some yelling about that it was dinner and that they should get their asses downstairs.

It was probably the cousins that was yelling to one another, that was something that she always had liked, this was a family and they was always acting like one it didn't care if there was someone there to visit they showed that they were just like any other family.

And just as they were supposed to sit down to eat, a younger blonde cam walking down staris and in tow she had a brunette and they were laughing and looked like they were in love. Could this be the reason to why her aunt had change so much or maybe this was just some trick.

"Alex, you do know your cousins, right?" her aunt said and smiled.

"Yeah, I recognize them, I mean why wouldn't I." Alex said "but I don't know who that brunette is."

"Oh, I forgot that Ashley was here, even if I asked if she would be staying for dinner."

Ashley walked up to Alex.

"Sorry about that, if we had known that there was someone else here we would have been down." Ashley said and smiled.

"That is no problem; I mean Glen always has girls over." Alex said, that was one thing that she had remembered about her cousin. When the family heard that they all began to laugh.

"What's so funny?" Alex asked.

"I guess that you haven't talked to your parents in awhile." Arthur said, her uncle.

"Not really, I mean I knew that I couldn't get back there and I just left Newport and I needed some place to stay jus for tonight, I'll be gone tomorrow." Alex said.

"Don't worry about that I think that you can have the guest room and then you can stay her as long as you like. I think that Spencer would like to have you here." Paula said and looked at her niece. Alex was just looking at her strange. What was she talking about, why would Spencer like to have her hear sure they got along pretty good but that was not a reason for her to stay here.

"And why were you all laughing about the whole thing with me saying that Glenn always having girls over?" Alex said and she was confused about that.

"Well it's true that Glenn is having girls over but Ashley isn't Glens'' girlfriend." Arthur said and that was when Alex realized what they were talking about.

"oh." Was all that came out from Alex.

"That was my thought too." Spencer said.

"Okay, what about this, we forget about all of this and start over. Hi, I'm Ashley and I'm Spencers' girlfriend." Ashley said and shook Alexs' hand.

"Alex, cousin to you know." Alex said and they all began to laugh, this was something that Alex for sure needed and it was a good thing. She knew that it would be along night a head of her.

She was still heartbroken but all of this had been good for her so far. Maybe it would be working out in the end
