Hey readers! I first want to say thank you for taking the time to read my story. Second I hope you enjoy reading. I decided just to post 2 chapters for now and see how things go. But if at the end of this chapter you hate it and find it boring I won't be offended if you don't read anymore! This is my first OC fic. Wish me luck!

Chapter One
The Two of Us
"I've got sunshine, on a cloudy day. When it's cold outside, I've got the month of May," I whispered gently into Krystal's hair. I couldn't believe that she got away too. Both of us had been through everything together. Everything. This wasn't always great. When I got my ass kicked by our mother and her array of boyfriends, so would she. I would get so angry that I ran away with her almost weekly. But our mother always found us. It was bitter sweet when she finally gave up her parental rights of Krystal and me to the Cohen's. Krystal adjusted so fast it was mind boggling. 2 1/2 years old and the kid had it down.
"I guess you'd say what can make me feel this way. My girl," It was Krystal's favorite song. I would sing it to her every night back in Chino. I still held our tradition strong. If there came a night that I would forget, Krystal didn't. "Talking about my girl." Krystal rolled over and greeted me with a big grin.
"Anan," she exclaimed.
"But Boo," I said. "It's time to go nu night now." I have called Krystal Boo ever since I can remember. I don't really know where the nickname came from. Maybe from the days that seeing her cover her ears when she was afraid instead of her eyes brought a smile to my face. Or maybe from her favorite game of peek-a-boo. I don't know. But that's what she had become to be known. My Boo. Even Seth didn't ever call her Krystal. I used to glare at Seth every time he would call her Boo. Forever that had been my name for her. But eventually Seth became like a brother to the both of us. And I didn't mind at all even when Marissa and Summer started to call her Boo too.
"Not today," she said attempting to crawl off of my bed. I pulled her back.
"What if I sang you the song again? Would you go sleeps?" I bribed. Krystal seemed to think it over for a while.
"Okay. Rock n Roll Iyan!" she cried enthusiastically. I smiled and sang to her again. But by the end of this time Krystal was sound asleep in my arms. With the Cohen's, life was good. Seth is my best friend. Seth is the son of Kirsten and Sandy Cohen. Sandy is my lawyer but now my dad. Dad. The words still sound funny in my head. I'm glad Krystal has a chance to have a mom and a dad. A light knock was heard on the door of the pool house. I knew it was Seth even before he could poke in his head of slightly messed up black hair.
"Hey," I whispered making sure Seth knew Krystal was asleep before he entered.
"Just wanted to tell you that due to the graphic nature of this program viewer discretion is advised," Seth stated proudly. I thought it was impossible for this kid to get any weirder.
"What are you talking about?" I asked easing Krystal out of my arms and laying her down in the bed.
"This my friend," Seth held up a small sized camera. I gave Seth my 'its late and I don't have time for this' look.
"Summer and I teamed up to do a video report for Health. We have to follow around and document the activity of a human being under the age of 16 for an entire 24 hours," Seth explained. I couldn't help but notice the same excited little hop he did when he said Summer's name. Summer Roberts and Seth Cohen are as opposite as your going to get. But that old saying 'opposites attract' is living proof in their relationship.
"You take Health?" I asked.
"Not the point of conversation Ryan!" Seth said closing the lens on his small camera.
"Sorry. Who do you want to do it on?" I asked already knowing the answer.
"Well," Seth pretended to think hard. Then he snapped his fingers as if just then coming up with the perfect solution. "How about Boo?" I looked over to my little sister who was still sound asleep. This looked like it would be an entertaining weekend.
"Goodnight Seth," I sighed, climbing into bed next to Krystal.
"You'll see Ryan. Summer...," he did his little hop again "and I are going to ace this one." He closed the door behind him and I ran my fingers through my hair. It seemed like Krystal and I had encountered more adventures in Newport, with Seth alone, then we had in our entire lives in Chino. Just add Marissa and Summer to our mix and we had encountered more adventures then a lot of people will in their entire lives. But things weren't always so bright for the two of us.
So, what did ya think?
