Disclaimer: I do not own the OC

Note to all: I am so so so so so sorry that I haven't updated in such a long time. My computer got a virus, and our computer person deleted everything (and I mean everything) on the computer. He deleted our Internet and crap so we were all pissed. But that was not the only problem. He never gave us the cd to reinstall Microsoft word. So I could not type any new chapters. Now listen up cause here comes the part that was all my fault. I had to go on some college visits and I had taken my notebook with all the new chapters in it. Well we stop at our beach house in Massachusetts and I leave my notebook there. So unless you want me to wait a year to repost, it might be awhile for new chapters. I just wrote this one but school starts on Monday so I'll have limited computer time. I hope you all enjoy!!

Like brother Like Sister chapter 7

The drive down to Chino started out well, with Ryan sleeping and Sandy and Kirsten talking.

"Stop the car! I'm gonna Hurl!" Ryan shouts suddenly. (Haha like Ryan would ever say that.)

Kirsten replies as she climbs into the backseat to help.

Ryan is violently ill for several minutes, and Kirsten tries her best to calm him down. After he's done heaving and catches his breath Ryan says "Cant you just pull over next time? This is so gross and I don't want to wreck your car."

"We'll try Ryan, but it's kind of hard to pull over suddenly when you're caught in the middle of traffic." Sandy says with a smile on his face.

Ryan than realizes that the car isn't moving, and indeed that they are stuck in traffic. Ryan groans and sits back and closes his eyes. He should've expected something like this to happen. Him and the stupid Atwood luck. He once again drifts into an uncomfortable sleep.

"Sandy...he's really sick. He has a fever and the vomiting hasn't subsided. Maybe we should turn back." Kirsten says worriedly. After being sick Ryan had fallen asleep almost immediately, which gave Kirsten the chance to feel his burning forehead.

"Kirsten we have to do this. He won't rest and get better until we find Kendra. When we arrive back home we can call the doctor." Sandy replies. Even though he didn't know everything about Ryan, he knew for sure that he couldn't resist saving someone. So, he kept on driving despite his fight wife and conscience.

Cohen Household

"Hello, mom is everything ok?" Seth rambles as he answers the phone.

"Seth? Is that you? It's me Marissa not your mom. Did you misread the caller ID or something?" Marissa jokes.

"Oh... hey Marissa sorry about that." Seth replies embarrassed.

"Is everything ok? Because neither you nor Ryan are in school today. You know that it is a school day, right?" Marissa jokes again

"Yes, I am aware of that, now can you tell me why you called because I cant keep the phone line tied up. My mom should be calling with news any minute." Seth replies obviously annoyed.

"What's wrong? Is everyone ok?" Marissa replies worriedly

"It's a long story, but Ryan's sister is hurt and in danger so Ryan has to go save her. The only problem is that Ryan is really really sick, so I'm waiting for my mom to call with news. Ok? Gotta go now. Bye." And with that Seth hangs up the phone not giving Marissa the chance to ask any more questions. In a few minutes Seth is pacing nervously. "AGGHHH! I'm goin freakin crazy! Why cant they just call to tell me anything? I need to take my mind off this. Some play station sounds really good now. Wow I am really going crazy, I'm talking to myself." Seth rambles on as he heads into the den.

The Atwood Residence

"I took care of that lil bitch for you Dawn. Your kids are such weaklings, one hit and they are unconscious." AJ slurs. He then sees that Dawn is passed out drunk, so decides to join her and drinks himself unconscious.

The Car

"It's ok Ryan. It'll pass soon. Just try to relax." Kristin coaxes. Ryan had woken up again and was sick. Now he was dry heaving and shivering feverishly.

"I don't think that this is my nerves. I...I think I'm sick." Ryan finally admits between raged breaths.

"I agree with you Ryan. Once we get home we'll get you in bed and call the doctor." Kristin replies happily. She is glad that Ryan finally trusts them enough to tell them everything.

" At least I'll be able to get an inhaler when I need it this time." Ryan replies half asleep.

"What does he mean by that Sandy?" Kristin asks worriedly. She ponders to herself 'Why would Ryan need an inhaler, and if it happened before why doesn't Sandy know about it.'

"We'll find out soon. I never saw anything in his files indicating an inhaler. We should be there in 15 minutes, then we can ask him." Sandy replies

RING RING! RING RING!

"Hello. Oh Seth...is everything ok? Oh shoot we totally forgot to call. Don't worry. We got stuck in traffic so we should be there in 15 minutes. He's still really sick, but when we get home we are calling the doctor. I'm so sorry Seth. I love you." Kristin says before hanging up the phone.

"What did Seth want?" Sandy asks amused that Seth had called not even halfway into their trip.

"We forgot to call the school, and they keep calling the house to figure out why the boys aren't in school. Seth is too scared to answer the phone so he called to yell at us." Kristin says laughing at their mistake.

They continued to drive on talking and laughing until they reached the house. Kristin gently shook Ryan's pale figure until he woke up.

"We're here Ryan." She tells him.

"Let's get this over with." Ryan replies as Sandy helps him out of the car. They walk up the trashed sidewalk and into the house to get Kendra.
