--------------------------------------------------------

The jeep pulls up to the party and the boys get out. Ryan walks in with Seth close behind.

"Welcome to the dark side." Ryan said repeating what Seth said before. The look around the party and notice kids doing drugs.

"Oh, hey…cocaine. That's awesome." Seth said sarcastically and they walk through the party. Ryan spots the girl he saw at the fashion show, Marissa and she is with Summer and a couple of other girls. He saw they were talking but couldn't hear what they were saying over the music.

"Is that a new purse?" Summer asks.

"Yeah." she smiled

"So cute." Says the girl next to Summer.

"Does you dad ever say no?" Summer asks envious. Then they spotted Ryan.

"Hey…look who I brought." Summer states.

"He's cute." the other girl says.

"I'm going to play him hot and cold." Summer states with a mischievous smile. "You want to pee? I got to pee." She said and the girls left. Ryan had found out though Seth on the way to the party that Luke, the boy who was giving him problems was Marissa's boyfriend. Ryan spotted Luke when the girls walked away but was wondering why he was talking to another girl. Ryan went to get a beer and when he saw Luke leaving with the other girl toward the water he took a mental note of it. He then headed back into the house.

"Hey." Ryan looked up to see Marissa. He pulled out a half smile.

"Hey." He said back.

"So, what do you think of Newport?" She said taking a drink.

"I think I can get in less trouble where I'm from." He said and smiled.

"Hey Coop! It's your turn to deal." a girl said waving playing cards.

"You have no idea." She said walking away. Ryan watched her walk away and laughed to him self. Ryan walked outside, Summer sees him and walks over to him.

"Look…who I found." She said and he knew she was drunk. She started to touch him then spilled her drink on him. She started laughing "Oops. I'm wasted." She then starts hanging onto him. "So, what's your name anyway?"

"Ryan." He said trying to push her off of him. Seth then comes over and he too is two sheets to the wind.

"Ryan, you got to come um…what are you doing?" He asked. Ryan could tell he was upset at what he saw. He finally got Summer off of him.

"Hey um…" Ryan stumbled.

"Excuse me?" Summer said annoyed.

"What are you doing? I named my boat after her." Seth said angrily. Ryan went over to Seth.

"What? Eww…who are you?" Summer said laughing.

"It's not what you think. She's a little bit drunk, okay?" Ryan tried to explain.

"Come on, Ryan." Summer said behind him. Seth pushes Ryan and starts to walk away, Ryan went after him.

"Seth…Seth Seth!" He called. Seth turned around when Ryan grabbed his arm. He pushed Ryan in to a door. Marissa watching the whole scene.

"Don't touch me!" Seth yelled. "You know what? Why don't you go back to Chino? I'm sure there's a really nice car in the parking lot that you could steal." Seth said angrily and took off towards the beach.

"Chino? Eww." Ryan heard Summer say but he just went back into the house. Everyone was staring at him and whispering. He turns back toward the window and watches Seth. He was throwing something in to the fire when he saw a couple of guys go over to him and they started pushing Seth around. Ryan hurried down to help him. He don't know why he is doing it. He guessed he felt bad for the kid. As he ran up to help he heard some of the words exchanged.

"Go home, geek." One guy said.

"Who invited you?" the other said.

"You guys really wouldn't hurt me, because that would be so clichéd." Seth says but the guys pick him up. "I guess you're fans of the cliché." Seth said and is held upside down.

"Shut up." one of the guys said. Ryan made it to where they were.

"Hey hey! Put him down! Put him down." Ryan said looking at the two boys then at Seth still hanging upside down.

"Hey Ryan. What's up?" Seth said sounding as if he forgot about the fight he had with Ryan just moments before.

"Put him down." Ryan stated again.

"Hey, what's up, dude? You got a problem?" Ryan looked over to see Luke walking his way.

"You tell me." Ryan stated as Luke steps closer to Ryan and pushes him. Ryan instantly punches him and Luke falls to the ground. He gets back up and shoves Ryan to the ground, and they start fighting. After one of the other guys joins in, Seth pulls him away and hits him and the guy punches him back. Seth falls to the ground. Luke's friend pulls Ryan away and Luke kicks him.

"Welcome to the O.C., bitch. This is how it's done in Orange County." Luke yells down at Ryan. After a few minutes the two boys get up and leave the party. Calling a cab to get them home since they were not only drunk but also had no ride home. Ryan and Seth walk into the pool house, both bruised and tired. Ryan sits on the bed as Seth collapses on to the couch.

"Well, I…I don't know what to say…except that you totally had my back out there. We're, like, in a fight club or something. I don't know. You know what I think? Ryan, I think that if you were to teach me some moves, I think that we could totally take em next time. That's what I think. Give them some of that" Seth said to Ryan then kicked the air. "You know what I'm saying? And a little bit of that and that" and he did a double kicking motion. "What do you think about that?" The to boys clasp hands. "Yeah. Oh also, that wasn't exactly the way that I first planned to talk to Summer, but I am now on her radar. Do you think I should tell her about Tahiti? Do you?" Seth said rambling and Ryan smiled a little.

"Not yet." Ryan said

"That's what I thought. That's what I was thinking. I wanted to make sure, we were on the same page." Seth said laying down on the couch and getting comfortable.

"Quite a little night we had there. I'm not going to forget it. Ryan, I'm not going to forget that one." Seth says and Ryan smiles a bit and looks over at Seth and notices that he is already asleep. Ryan takes off his jacket and heads outside. He hears car doors and looks over the balcony to see Summer and another girl carrying Marissa to her house. She is passed out. He watches with great interest.

"I can't believe her." Summer giggled



"I swear to God, she is so retarded sometimes." The other girl said



"Shouldn't her boyfriend be doing this?" Summer laughed again.

"He's so worthless." the girl said back. They fall to the ground and start laughing.

"Coop, where are your keys?" Summer whispered. "How are we going to find her keys?" She grabbed Marissa's purse and starts digging through it. "I can't find her keys." she stated.

"We can't wake her parents. Her dad'll go ballistic." The girl said

"I know, I know." Summer says and throws the purse aside and stands up.

"Bye, Coop. Call us." Summer said leaving Marissa lying on the cement and Ryan goes to where she is.

"Hey." Ryan whispered and he grabbed her purse. "Get your keys." He looks in her purse, but can't find the keys, so he carries her inside Seth's pool house and lays her down on the bed. He hovers over her for a second before covering her with a blanket and staring at her. He then makes a place for him to sleep on the other side of the room. He, like Seth falls asleep fairly quickly.

It was Saturday night and Rachel and Nick were sitting in the living room playing super Nintendo, yea it was a bit out dated but it worked non the less. It also got Rachel out of bed for a little while. She was still feeling a bit sick but she couldn't sleep anymore and she loved hanging out with Nick. He was like the brother she never had. She really hoped that Ryan was in a home that was treating him well. She hoped his mom really changed.
