Title: Trust

Disclaimer: I don't own the OC but if I did this would be an episode and not a fanfic.

Shippings: SethSummer, RyanMarissa, MarissaOliver,

Disclaimer: Basically takes place after The Rivals and then after The Truth.

Chapter One

Ryan sat alone in the pool house with the lights off. He was sitting in the darkest corner of the room with his head hanging.

________Ryan's Thought's_______________-

Stupid Oliver. Stupid Fucking Oliver! He ruined the one thing in my life that actually made sense.

The Cohens taking me in, that didn't make sense. What did I ever do to deserve people like them looking out for me? Seth, I don't deserve a best friend. Let's face it; I'm a paranoid failure as a boyfriend, a son, and as an all around person. Marissa didn't deserve me. The Cohen's don't deserve me and Seth doesn't deserve me.

Marissa sat in her room in her mom's house gathering her clothes when she looked out her window. She saw Ryan in a jacket with his bike. He had a backpack over his shoulders like he was running away.

____________Marissa's Thoughts_________________

He's running away? I can't let him, but I said we would never speak again after the Oliver fight.

Oliver, I don't know about him. Maybe Ryan was right, maybe he is a psycho. The night after Ryan punched Oliver, I.what did I do? I was pretty drunk

I had sex with Oliver! I don't know how I should feel.happy, disgusted? I feel like a slut, I can't be without a guy for more then a week.

Marissa went down to talk to him. Ryan was getting onto his bike.

"Where are you going?" She asked. He couldn't tell if she actually cared.

"Home, there's nothing for me here." Ryan said squinting his eyes at the sun in front of him.

"What do you mean? I still care, the Cohens still care, Luke and Summer still care!"

"They may but this place stopped being fun a while ago. Sandy and Kirsten don't believe me, Seth and Summer are too wrapped up to give a shit, and you're off having sex with Oliver!" Ryan screamed

"How did you know?" Marisa hadn't told anybody but Summer and that was only an hour ago.

"Oliver told me. Well, didn't so much tell me as called and gloated about it. He really showed how gullible you are but that's his problem now."

Sandy approached the drive.

"Ryan, where are you going?" Sandy asked

"Luke's house, I'm staying there tonight." Ryan could lie when the occasion called for it.

********

Sandy left and Marissa ran to catch up with Ryan.

"I'll talk to him and if you're right you should stay here in Newport" Marissa pleaded

"Fine"

Ryan then went to Luke's house.

He noticed one thing while passing Oliver's building on the way to Luke's

Oliver drove an orange corvette with the license plate "TRASK112".

PLEASE Review, there will be more to come, I promise!

Chapter Two: Black Out

Ryan was finally back from his suspension. He walked down the hall with Seth, Luke, and Summer to see Oliver and Marissa talking against the lockers.

"Hi guys, I gotta go, see you at lunch." Marissa said, getting uncomfortable at Ryan's presence.

"Hey guys, and Ryan." Oliver said as Ryan and Luke saw the psychotic wheels turning in his mind.

"Can I talk to Ryan alone please guys?" Oliver asked

Luke, Seth, and summer walked away. Once they were out of sight, they hid behind the row of lockers to listen.

"What do you want? You already won" Ryan snapped

"Well.yeah I did but what are you going to do? You can either accept fate which is that Marissa and I were meant to be and you were just a road block or you can try to win her back but I'll always outsmart you and you'll end up looking like a stupid violent stalker type and Marissa will never talk to you. Meanwhile she can nurse me, like last week. Oh, it was amazing, she said that it as the best night of her life. Better then anything you could ever do because."

Ryan cut him off with a stiff right hand to the jaw.

Luke and Seth along with Summer emerged from behind the locker. The boys held Ryan back as Oliver sat up with blood trickling down his chin. Marissa emerged from the classroom. As her shoe was revealed by the opening door, Oliver saw her and he lied down on the floor pretending to be knocked out.

She went down to check on him and she looked back at Ryan with disgust. As they looked at each other, Oliver smirked up at Ryan.

*******

"Dude, that kid is out of line." Luke said as the four of them walked down the hall

"I'm sorry that Summer and I doubted you about him. He's a total psycho. I mean that look he gave you..." Seth said

"I never doubted Ryan, Seth." Summer said cutting him off

Then Mrs. Kim showed up and broke the silence

"Ryan, we heard about your fight with Mr. Trask. Maybe the three of you should leave." Kim asked

"Why? You had no problems sharing information about breaking in to Marissa did you?" Ryan asked

"Well.um, that was a matter of her personal safety but regardless, we need to talk. Fighting in school is not acceptable so as of now, you are suspended for two more days. You now supposed to leave school grounds."

***********

Ryan walked home from school slowly

****

Seth and Luke were waiting at the Cohens for Ryan. He was supposed to be here after coming home but he wasn't there.

Seth decided to call Sandy

"Hello, Sandy Cohen."

"Hey, have you seen Ryan?"

"No, why?"

"Well, he was going to tell you but he was suspended for fighting."

"Oliver?"

"Yeah, but Ryan completely had the right to. I and Luke heard the whole thing and he have it on tape. Here I'll hold it to the phone, 'You can either accept fate which is that Marissa and I were meant to be and you were just a road block or you can try to win her back but I'll always outsmart you and you'll end up looking like a stupid violent stalker type and Marissa ill never talk to you. Meanwhile she can nurse me, like last week. Oh, it was amazing, she said that it as the best night of her life. Better then anything you could ever do because.' and then Ryan hit him. Get this, okay so s Marissa is facing Ryan and all mad and stuff, Oliver smirks at Ryan."

"Holy crap, Ryan was right about him. Where is Ryan?"

"I'll call his cell and call you back when I find him"

Earlier-

********Ryan's POV***************

Now, I've done it. I was handed success on a silver freaking platter and I blew it over some girl. But it wasn't just some girl, it was Marissa Cooper. Probably the best thing that ever happened to me. Now, it's gone, he had screwed it up. Oliver was right, he always screwed everything up.

Oh well, there's nothing I can do now except walk home and accept my failure. I hear foot steps, it's probably someone walking into school, nothing more, nothing less.

The foot steps get faster and they head near me. Before I can turn to see who it is, I feel a hard crack against the back of my neck. BAM! Another couple of shots, this time to the back and left arm. BAM! BAM! More shots to the arm. I can make it out now, I've felt that crack before.

Son of a bitch hit me with a crowbar! No time to think with another shot to the arm and BAM! Another one to the back of my head.

They say there's a light at the end of the tunnel, well I can see mine. It is falling away as the darkness consumes me. I try to push away but with one harder crack to the back of my head I am covered in the darkness.

*************

Seth and Luke are joined by Sandy and Kirsten in the kitchen waiting for Ryan. It is three hours later.

A phone call breaks the assuming silence.

"Hello, this is Sandy Cohen."

"Yes, this is HOAG. Your son Ryan was found unconscious about a half a mile away from Harbor next to a bloody crowbar."

"We'll be right there."

"What happened?" Seth asked

"They found Ryan and he was unconscious next to a bloody crowbar."
