The following weeks everything went smoothly. Everybody in casa del Cohen returned back to their usual routines. Seth started his sailing lessons again and Ryan had started to participate in his soccer team. Ryan's eyes were cleared of infection and he was allowed to wear his contacts again, but his optician had told him he had sensitive eyes and that he shouldn't wear the contacts all day.

Soccer was going great during the first week. He wasn't allowed to do much. Not only by his physician but his coach and Luke as well. They were being mother-hens but as the week passed and Ryan improved his game every single training they started to lay off of him.


Ryan was running, not his usual fast but for someone that was wearing a brace he pretty much outran the other players. Ball at his foot, he passed it towards Luke who immediately followed his lead and headed towards the goal. They both ran towards the other end of the field and just as Ryan thought Luke was about to score, he passed it over towards Ryan. Immediately alerted Ryan headed for the oncoming ball and with a swift kick with his injured leg he made an attempt to score. The ball flew towards the side… everyone watched in slow motion as the ball slipped passed the goalies gloved fingers just through the corner right into the net.

Loud cheers were heard and before he knew it, Ryan was lifted upwards by his teammates as they cheered for him and for their achievement. They'd won the states championship. All thanks to Ryan's perfect goal.

In the tribunes Sandy, Kirsten, Marissa, Summer, Seth, Carson and Julie cheered for their team but mostly for their boys, for Ryan. He was going to be just fine. Nothing can beat down a true Cohen.

The end.


AN: Just as my other O.C. story. I had to end these, and these endings just came to me. I hope you did enjoy it, let me know, aight?
