Title: Secrets.

Summary: Marissa kept a secret for almost eight years, can Ryan forgive her?

Anyway on to the story!

"RYAN!" Evelyn screams form her bedroom at Ryan Atwood's apartment,

"WHAT?" Ryan screams back from where he was sitting watching TV,

"HELP!" Ryan jumps up and goes running into Evelyn's Room, or to just outside it seeing as there was no way he could get into her room at the moment, because it was booby trapped.

Evie was hanging from the ceiling by her ankles, and she had her arms crossed because she was really mad, Ryan had to laugh,

"I didn't MEAN to get caught but it HAPPENED, I set this one for Uncle Seth today and I wanted to test it, I didn't think it worked. So can you just GET ME OUTTA HERE?" she yelled,

"Umm maybe kiddo, keeping you up there could certainly save me some space, I could move my office into your room, we could build a whole colony of ceiling hangers!" He laughs some more,

"GET ME DOWN" she growls at him "Uncle Seth, Aunt Anna and Aunt Summer AND my mommy will be here in a little bit and I need to finish my room, but I can't do that from up here so get me down."

"Ok, chill out kiddo." Ryan weaves his way through all the string that is all over the room, from wall to wall, hanging form the ceiling, in a web of string, (it's a month after Evie found out Ryan was her dad) and putting her to bed was no easy task. And we must tell you that Evie is one of the only girls in New York with four bedrooms, One at Seth's one at Anna and Summers, one at Marissa's and one at Ryan's, lucky little seven year old.

He got to her and somehow got her down from her own trap,

"Thanks" and she goes running out of the room, somehow missing all the strings which Ryan always gets tangled in, he gets out of the room as well, and starts walking into the dining room,

"DON'T go in there" Evie calls from the kitchen looking into the dining room

"Why?"

"DON'T"

"Ok, ok..." Ryan backs up and goes into the kitchen to get paper plates and soda's out, he see's Evie rummaging around in the cupboard, she comes back up and Ryan see's that her arms are full of different kitchen implements, a cork screw, spatula, a few big spoons, a whisk, a ball of rubber bands, some scissors, pancake turner, egg beater, and other various kitchen utensils,

"Umm Evie?"

"Yeah?"

"What are you doing with this?" he says grabbing her spatula.

"I'm WORKING!"

"Another booby trap? Don't you think your going a little far with them? I mean Aunt Summer isn't the best sport."

"I'm not doing it to make them mad, only to mame, dis-member and cause bodily harm to them" she states and walks away.

"That is one weird kid." Ryan mutters as the Door opens and Marissa walks in,

"Hey Ryan,"

"Hey how are you?"

"I'm good, was she any trouble last night?"

"NO" Ryan says a little to quickly, "Got caught in a trap didn't you?"

"Well only one."

"That's one too many for me,"

"I know what you mean. "Ryan looks at Marissa, "Hey you ok?" She looks sheepish,

"Yeah.... Sorta, I mean no." she takes a deep breath "I've been wondering for a while if Teresa's baby was yours or not..." Ryan smiles

"No he wasn't, they named him Jake, and he's a real cute kid. Looks just like his dad."

"OH ok great!" and she crosses the few steps between them and kisses him, long and slow, and then jumped apart,

"I didn't mean to uh... do that..."

"Right that didn't happen" Ryan said,

Marissa started kissing him again, running her hands through his hair, and he did just about the same thing, until they somehow made it to the couch, and started making out a little more,

"OH MY GOD!" Evie screamed from the hallway. "THIS IS SO COOL!" They jumped apart,

"What is honey?" Marissa asked smoothing down her hair,

"MY MOM WITH MY DAD!!" she jumps up and down, and then walks into the room "Now if you two feel the need to get married be my guest" and then walks back into her room and shuts it with a slam. You could hear her jumping up and down.

"Well then,"

"Maybe we should..." Marissa was cut off by the door opening and the girls and Seth walking in

"WE have PIZZA!" Seth says holding three pizzas on his arm, Evie comes running in and hugging summer and then Anna who picked her up,

"HI HI!!" she said perkily,

"How are you sweetie?" Anna asks kissing the top of her head,

"I'm good!!"

"That's great! Yeah! Hey wanna go see my room?"

"Sure!" and the two of them take off running into Evie's room, Summer stands there with her arms crossed,

"I'll go set up the dining room." She starts to walk to the dining room and Evie comes running out of her bed room

"NO DON'T GO..." there is a crash and a bang and a scream "In there..." Everyone goes running into the dining room.

Summer is being held by her ankles form the ceiling, covered in feathers and honey, there was a fan going and she was screaming,

"EVELYN! YOU LITTLE FREAK"

"I tried to warn you but NO you couldn't listen did you?"

"ARGH" Summer screams, but all of the sudden everyone started laughing, they laughed until they couldn't breath, and finally Summer started laughing until her sides hurt and she had to be cut down.

Its an amazing thing, one accident can lead to someone who brings laughter into everyone who meets her.
