Chapter One
Some Really Bad News
Ring... Ring... Ring ... Ring... After four rings of his house phone, a very distraught Sandy Cohen picked up.
"Hello"
"Hello, may I speak to Sandy Cohen"
"Speaking"
"Sir, you are the legal guardian of Ryan Atwood, are you not?"
"I am"
"Mr. Cohen, my name is Elena, I am a nurse in Newport General Hospital's Emergency Room, I'm sorry to say that Mr. Atwood has just come in by means of an ambulance, he was in a very serious car accident."
"Oh my god" The distraught face became even more so.
"Sir it is very important that you get here as fast as possible."
"Yeah, I'm on my way, right now."
The phone call ended.
"Sandy, what's going on?" His wife Kirsten asked.
"Ryan's in the Emergency Room. I don't know much, but I do know that he was in a car accident and that I need to get to the emergency room right now."
"Sandy, I'm coming with you."
"Well, let's go, time is of the essence."
It wasn't a particularly long drive to Newport General Hospital from the Cohen's not-so-humble abode, but to Kirsten and Sandy, it felt like forever. In a very short time, both of their boys, Ryan and Seth had left them. They at least knew where their adopted son, Ryan, was headed, back to his old stomping grounds, Chino. Seth, their real son had left only a meager note telling every one not to worry and that he would be all right. Kirsten and Sandy still needed time to reflect on the day's events but that time was not now.
------------
Marissa Cooper stood on the balcony of her new home with a bottle of vodka in her hands, wishing she could drink away her sorrows. Her boyfriend, Ryan, had possibly gotten his ex-girlfriend, Theresa, pregnant during the (ONE!!!) week that Ryan and Marissa had been broken up. Marissa knew Ryan only wanted what was best for the child that might be his, but she wanted him to be with her, right now. She knew it was selfish, but she was only happy when she was with him, or with her dad, but she had made a pact with her new stepfather, Caleb, to live with him and her mother Julie. Marissa needed someone's shoulder to lean on, and she didn't know whom to turn to for solace. Her mother had never liked Ryan and her best friend, Summer, had just been left by her boyfriend, Seth. She guessed that left her bottle of vodka and Share Bear, no wait, Share Bear was still at her dad's, Vodka would just have to do.
------------
Seth Cohen didn't know where he was going, maybe to Tahiti, maybe somewhere else, but he knew he needed to go somewhere other than Newport. He knew he'd miss Summer, the girl he'd loved since he was ten, so he promised himself he'd return within a month. He wondered how his parents were taking his news and he wondered how Captain Oats was getting along with Summer and Princess Sparkle. An interesting thought popped into his head just then, his trip was kind of like the Ben Folds Five song "Brick": "I'm feelin' more alone than I ever have before/... Off the coast and I'm headed nowhere" He then decided his time away was going to be for, thinking. Thinking about everything.

Author's Note: I hope y'all liked the first chapter! Summer's coming, I promise! I just don't really know, exactly, what to do with her for the time being. Tell me what you thought of the first chapter!
