Summary:What happened when Ryan can't handle the unjust lectures from the Cohens due to the tension between him and Oliver?

Author note: Okay,So my fic takes place during the mid season 1, during the all Oliver thing… so, there's no Theresa, and Anna is here and with Seth! Also this is my first fanfic, so I'm really not sure about it, and the language must be weird, 'cause I'm French so it was kinda difficult for me to right that.

Disclaimer: I do not own anything from the O.C; I just rent this story from Josh Schwartz!

Chapter 1

It was a beautiful Tuesday afternoon; everything was perfect in the Orange County. There were the sun, the birds and the kids…

But, who were we kidding? It was the O.C, and nothing was ever normal. And this time, it was from the Cohen's household that we could hear screams.

At this time, Ryan was really mad at Sandy, how could he do that to him? He felt betrayed and abandoned once again.

"Ryan I want you to stop that NOW!" Shouted Sandy, who couldn't contain his anger anymore.

"But, Sandy, you don't understand, it's-"began Ryan, despaired to explain his side of the story.

"Oh no, not this time Ryan, I don't want to hear this, I'm tired of your behavior" he sadly said. "I need you to control yourself, you can't keep doing this. You need to speak with your mouth and not with these fists of yours!"

"Please just listen to me, I-"

Sandy cut him off once again:

"Don't Ryan, just … don't."

"How could you just do that? It's what we don't understand, and after all we talked about yesterday" add Kirsten.

He couln't believe it, how could they said that to him? Oliver was the kid thathad provoked him, and now all of this was his fault because he just wanted to protect his girlfriend!

"So what?" Screamed Ryan. "You'll just believe that Oliver crazy kid other than me?"

"No, we haven't said something like that" explained nicely Kirsten to him. She hesitated slowly before continuing, "And we'd like you to see someone, like… a therapist."

"What? So now, I'm the crazy kid of that fcking town" Ryan yelled."I thought that you were trustingme" he added slowly.

"God, Ryan, you know that's nothing like that said that time Sandy calmly, we do trust you".

"Yeah, of course Mr. Cohen" he replied sarcastically.

With those last words, Ryan stormed out of the kitchen and went to the pool house and with no surprise, slammed the door.

Sandy and Kirsten stayed there, frozen by Ryan's words, and the coldness in his voice. They would have made a big mistake and the "mister Cohen" of the boy proved them that they had lost his trust for a little while.

"God Sandy, what are we going to do? We can't keep going on like that, we have to do something" began to sob Kirsten.

"I know, but hey, don't worry; I'll speak to him tomorrow when he calms down."

"But, didn't you hear his words? His voice was so cold, and he tried to tell us, but we didn't listen and now he has shut down."

Sandy began to go out from the room before his wife stopped him:

"Another thing, could you please … could you be gentle, you know? 'Cause before, we've been a little harsh"

"Always baby," said Sandy with a smirk on his face. "Good night honey."

The next day, Seth woke up happily. He went down to the kitchen, kissed his mom and dig in the Captain Crunch cereals.

"Hey, how are you sweetie?"

"Fine, Mom. No, um, I'm not fine, I'm really good. And you?"

"Oh, uh… fine" she said absently.

"Are you sure" began Seth

"Oh Seth …" she reached somewhere to sit, "it's just… we had a big fight yesterday with Ryan and…" she couldn't take it anymore, it tore her apart to see her husband and foster son like that, and she began to cry.

"Hey Mom! I'm sure it's nothing, as if we had never fought together!" He said sarcastically. "But he's Ryan, and we all know that he's not the best with those situations, plus Dad will speak to him, and he can never stay mad at you for more than two hours… and I-"

"Seth, it's okay, I get it" laughed Kirsten. She couldn't believe how much Seth could do such an effect on her. She loved him so much, it was her son. And Ryan, was he her son too? Yeah, she felt like she was his mom, and he was her child, and maybe it was just 6 months, but there was this connection, and she couldn't face to lose him now.

"Good!" A big smile crossed his face. "I'll go get Ryan!"

30 seconds later, Seth came back to the kitchen, as he had entered this morning, except that the smile had fade and a frozen expression was on his face.

"Seth? What, what's going on?"

"Ryan… he's … I mean it's …" he couldn't believe it.

"Please, tell me" pleaded Kirsten. "You're worrying me" Her mother's instinct has kicked in; she was beginning to worrying a lot, and with the demeanor of her son, who seemed pretty upset, it didn't help very much.

"Ryan's … he's … RYAN'S GONE! Seth shouted. At this time, he didn't care, he wasn't going to act like the other times, his best friend, almost brother was gone, and now he was all by himself. Alone in this world of perfection. His loop-hole had escaped. And everything was his parents' fault. God he was so mad at Ryan too, how could he dare to leave him here alone?

He went slowly to his room, tears falling down his innocent face, and slammed the door, thinking at the next time he'd see Ryan, and what he'd tell him.

Author note: Okay, so this is the end of the first chapter, and I'd really love if you guys could review.
