The OC: Chapter Two
Kirsten gathered a blanket and a few towels and a brand new toothbrush as she lead Evan to the poolhouse, with Sandy following close behind.
"Evangelia..." Sandy started.
"Evan is okay." Evan said smiling softly, she knew they were incrediblely generous to just take her in out of nowhere. She had to at least try to be on their side. Sandy and Kirsten nodded.
"Evan, I just want you to make yourself at home." Sandy said, hoping to ease the tension.
"This is your home now too." Kirsten added as she turned the knob to the beautiful glass door.
Evan was already amazed when she first saw the neighborhood but the poolhouse was absolutely gorgeous. The moon reflected light into the pool casting a soft heavenly glow around the whole area. As she stepped into the poolhouse she was greeted with video game sounds and the voices of two guys apparently battling on a XBox game.
"Boys!" Kirsten said loudly, and at the weird sound which Evan assumed was a pause button, two teenage guys stepped into the room behind a corner. Evan studied both of them shyly. One was tall and lanky, with soft brown eyes, and dark brown hair. The other guy looked more rugged, they actually seemed to be complete opposites. The tall one looked like a homely, a little nerdy while the other one seemed to be a rebellious teen who smoked and did drugs. His gaze was strong while the other one's gaze looked more confused.
"Dad you took in another one of your clients?" Seth said, confused. He hoped it wasn't going to become a habit. Ryan smirked.
"Guys, this is Evangelia Silver, also known as Evan. She is one of my old best friend's daughter. I am now her legal guardian and I want you guys to show her around. She'll be living in here on the other bed. Is that okay Ryan?" Sandy said, as he introduced them.
"Sure." Ryan said shrugging. Kirsten returned without the blanket and towel.
"Evan, I put the blanket and towels on the bed. Make yourself at home" She said friendly.
"Thank you." She and Sandy said their good nights and left the teenagers to fend for themselves.
"So Evan is a pretty cool name. You're a senior this year?" Seth said. Evan nodded. Remembering her manners, she answered.
"Yea." The three teens were silent for a while.
"So why are you here?" Ryan asked, finally speaking. Evan looked down, they were going to be her family so they would've known sooner or later. She sat down on the cushy carpet, relishing the feel and began to spill.
"I guess that Mr. Cohen and my mom were best friends before I was born. Apparently he would be my legal guardian in case of anything happening to my mom. When my mom got pregnant in France, Mr. Cohen signed a contract with her will. My dad dumped my mom once he found out she was pregnant. My mom was a foreign exchange student in France. She met my father there, he was a young businessman. Well she died when I was three, in a car accident. But because of some paperwork lookover, they put me up for adoption and my mom's best friend at the time, Ayu took me in. She died two weeks ago of Breast cancer, so now they found the mistake and brought me here." Evan explained slowly as her entire life slowed before her eyes and she felt the emotion of her mother and her adoptive mother and the father she never knew. She had just then realized how truly dramatic her life was.
"Damn." Seth said speechless. He thought these things only happened in movies. "Are you okay?" He asked when he realized her dark hair had fallen down to cover her face. Evan pushed her hair haphazardly up as she stood up on shaky legs. She nodded.
"I just realized my life sounds like a soap opera." She laughed lightly trying to ease to tension. Seth grinned, weirdly accepting her into their slightly dysfunctional family because of her tolerance and will to humor them even when she was hurt.
"Around here, life is weird and messed up but we have your back." Seth said patting her lightly on the back. Ryan nodded, "Definitely." He understood what it felt like to be rejected by your own flesh and blood parents. Evan smiled, and actually under their gazes she felt protected and safe.
"Thanks." She smiled and she made her way to her bed. She gently placed her duffel bag by the dresser. "So what do people do around here?" She turned around to face them.
"Umm....well I just stay home all day like a hermit. But 'other' people like to party, drink, and well party and drink." Seth said sarcastically. Evan laughed. "Oh yea and occasionally do drugs too." he added with another corny grin.
"Well, I'm not for the partying but drinks, I'm totally there." Evan said with a twinkle in her eye. This was the first time in weeks without Ayu that she felt truly happy, even with practical strangers.
"Where are you from anyway?" Ryan asked, curious.
"New York, born and raised." Evan said proudly. Seth and Ryan both nodded.
"So you went partying a lot there?" Seth said. Evan shook her head.
"No way. I wasn't allowed to do anything really. Ayu was pretty strict with not going out and stuff." Evan explained.
"So what are your stories?" She asked, knowing that Ryan and Seth weren't related, by blood anyway.
"I was born here in OC, lived in this house my entire life. Nothing to say much. I'm a boring guy." Seth said plainly. Evan turned to looked at Ryan. He didn't seem like a person who liked to share.
"Well I'm guess I could say something. God, I feel like this is AA or something." Evan and Seth laughed. "My dad's in jail, my bother's in jail. My mom's an alcoholic and she has all these boyfriends who freeload off of her. I hate them. I was with my brother when he got arrested so they took me in too, and Mr. Cohen was my defense lawyer and when my mom kicked me out of the house he took me in." Evan suddenly felt that she could have something in common with him.
"We got into a fight like the first week Ryan got here. Mom was pissed. She almost kicked Ryan out." Seth explained excitedly. Evan laughed, as Ryan joined in. Seth looked like a happy child who had just been given a lollipop.
"First fight huh?" Evan said winking. Seth nodded eagerly.
"Well I'm off to pack. Night." Evan said as she started taking some items out of her bag and putting them on the dresser. Ryan and Seth nodded, and said Good Night. Seth left the pool house, as his room was in the main house. Ryan went into the bathroom. According to him, Seth was getting ready and sleeping over in the pool house.
That night, despite their saying that they were sleeping earlier they ended up talking about almost everything until it was almost dawn. And that's when they fell asleep on their respective beds, all grateful of the new friendships made in the short time.
-----------------
A/N: Hi all, I just hope you all liked this chapter. I just tried to make the three of them become sort of like a trio. I wanted them to become a cute dysfuctional family, sort of like two older brothers and a younger sister even though they're the same age. I wanted them to blend in together and form a really good bond but I wasn't sure if that message went through.
I hope you guys understand my intentions. Even though I've only seen one episode it's hard to judge characters but Evan is sort of based on my personality. Of course my background is not as intricate..LOL.
And a sneak peek into the future chapters...beware there will be a romantic linking! ;-) Guess who...I will take suggestions on that too!
-----------------
I wrote five chapters of this story and I'm posting them up one at a time and I really like some of your suggestions from the last reviews! I will try to use them later on if I can. Someone also asked about Evan's appearance.
She's half Half Japanese and Half French..I will be making a graphic for this story soon so you will see what she looks like in my opinion. I know I said I'm basing my character on her but I'm 100% chinese. I will use a picture of Mika Nakashima {A Famous Japanese Singer} to represent her. She has dark hair with natural brownish highlights. She is medium sized, not considered fat but also not considered skinny. She is tom-boyish and she plays a lot of sports and also does her ninja training. I know the ninja thing is kinda weird but there are a lot of ninja academies in Japan so I figured it would set her apart and also give her a chance to beat up Luke..hehe.
I hope that's okay...enjoy!
