Disclaimer: I still own nothing but Josh and Fisher. And if I did Own The O.C. I would be the one kissing Ryan and not Marissa.

Chapter 3: Things aren't always what they seem.

When they noticed Fisher was gone. Ryan went out to the Pool House. No Fisher. He went to the driveway. There was no sign, but Ryan's bike was gone.

Sandy took the Range Rover and went out looking for him.

"Well, Seth you guys can find Fisher. I am going to go home and get some sleep."

"Ok." He said giving her a kiss on the cheek

She went home. Little did she know she wouldn't be sleeping that night.

Marissa sat in her huge room at the Nickel mansion. She missed her room at her dads apartment with the Muriel and the comfy double bed instead of the huge king she had here. She wanted to go home, to that home. She opened the door to her walk in Closet. The Closet was about the size of her bedroom at her dad's house. She sat down on the floor she had brought her phone in with her. She called the one person who she could talk to. It wasn't Ryan.

Summer pulled into her driveway. There were no lights on meaning her Step mom and Dad were probable drunk and not coming home tonight. She noticed a leaning on the curb. Probable a neighborhood kids. She thought nothing of it. She parked her car in the three car garage and went into the house. The first thing she noticed was the French Doors that led out to the Patio Door were open.

"Weird" She said under her breath and went to close them.

"Hello, Gorgeous."

"Seth?" She said thinking it was him disguising his voice.

"Think again." The voice said.

Grabbing her from behind. She tried to scream, but the intruder clasped his hand over her mouth. All she saw were Piercing Dark Blue Eyes…….

Ryan and Seth were in the Pool house. Ryan was trying to figure out his Pre-Calc assignment. "Why do we have to take math?" Ryan said. Seth's mind was elsewhere.

Summer always called him when she got home. She lived 5 minutes away. "Why hasn't she called. "Why hasn't who called?" Ryan asked looking up from the agonizing question he was on.

"Summer, she always calls me when she gets home."

"Maybe she was really tired. Don't worry about it man."

Marissa called Josh. She E-mailed him but hadn't talked to him since he had moved to New York when they were in 7th grade. They had been neighbors before the Cohen's moved in next door. They had been best friends. "Ring,Ring"

"Hello." The deep manly voice said on the Other end.

"Is Josh there?"

"Yea, this is him."

"Josh, it's Marissa."

"Marissa! It's so awesome that you called me."

"Thanks. I have a lot of stuff on my mind. I can't talk to my boyfriend about it or my parents or Summer."

"O Rissa you know you can always talk to me."

"Well." Marissa said

Summer lay in a heap on the floor of her dining room.

Her shirt was ripped her Jeans torn. Her hair a mess. She hurt really bad.

She tried to get up. She couldn't

She reached for her purse and dialed Seth.

"Hello." The voice said it was Ryan.

"Seth." Was all she could say.

"Its for you buddy." Ryan handed Seth the phone.

"Seth." She croaked.

"Summer?!!!"

"Help." Was all she could get out.

"I will be there in 2 seconds."

Just then Fisher walked in the door.

"Where were you man?" Ryan said as Seth ran out of the pool house.

I know this is short, but I have alot of stuff I have to do today. but I left you alot of things to look forward to. Please Read and Review.

By the way. There will be a lot of Seth and Summer. Soon, there maybe something between Ryan and Marissa though.
