Ryan was in his bed, staring up at the ceiling. No matter how tired he
was, he couldn't fall back to sleep. With the wedding invitation, and the
phone calls, one particular memory kept on tugging at his mind, and
taking over his thought.
**Flashback**
Ryan walked up to his dorm, excited. His class had been cancelled, so he
had run out and bought flowers and chocolate for Marissa. She loved his
little romantic surprises, and he loved seeing her happy. Everything had
been great. So great, in fact, that he was going to propose to her. That
night. He knew that they were young, but they were so happy together, so
in love. She was the love of his life, and he knew it. As he walked
towards their dorm, he thought he heard sounds coming from it. He figured
it was nothing, that she was on the phone. But when he opened the door...
It was Marissa. On the bed. THEIR bed. But with some lanky, curly-haired
boy. And they were doing what Ryan could only process in his brain as...
The roses and chocolate fell to the floor with a loud noise. Marissa and
the boy looked up.
Only it wasn't some random, lanky, curly-haired boy.
It was Seth.
He heard their calls, their shouts of I'm sorry, it wasn't what it looked
like.
But Ryan knew that it was.
He took a small velvet box out of his pocket, and buried it into the mud.
He knew he wouldn't ever need that particular ring.
The next day he transferred dorms. He got a new cell phone and made sure
they never found out the number.
And he realized that no matter how much he loved people, how much he
trusted people, they would always betray him.
He was Ryan Atwood, after all.

Note: Kind of dark, eh? I actually really liked this chapter. Its just
background info, but still, it might be my favorite so far. I know its
short, but this one was supposed to be. I'll post the next one soon.
Thanks for reading!
