Misunderstanding

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

Summary: What the hell was going through my mind? I never did it, but I said I did. Anything to save Marissa from going to jail I guess. Marissa/Trey

A/n: Two chapters after this… oh and I am kidnapping Ali's story line… xD… sorta. I got permission! OLLIE IS MY HERO!

Disclaimer: The OC belongs to Fox… and this is written for pleasure only, no money is being made off of it. This chapter and previous chapter plots belong to FOX, at the end of the chapter, the plot shall be MINE!

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

Days passed since the incident with Jess. Marissa and Ryan were now obviously together. Everybody knew it was bound to happen. I mean even I had to admit that they were meant to be.

But that didn't change the fact that I still really like Marissa.

More than anyone else. But she was with Ryan, and if she was happy, I was happy.

God that was sappy.

But the next thing I knew, Ryan and Seth and Sandy were heading off to Florida to visit Sandy's mother. This was going to be interesting. I remember Seth rambling about Spring Break or something. Oh this was going to be an interesting week. No Ryan, no Seth, no Sandy.

And what's worse, they're leaving Summer, Kirsten and Marissa here… alone. Well, I was here, but I don't know how much of a protector I was.

But Kirsten invited me to spend the week in the ginormous mansion. She said it was too quiet. Oddly enough, she invited Marissa over too. Seeing as Caleb and Julie were out of town trying to fix what was left of their ruined marriage.

This should be interesting. Me and Marissa, in a house, for a week. With Kirsten.

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

The first three days passed pretty well. Summer was usually spending time with Marissa and Carter was always around 'working' with Kirsten. Working as in behind closed doors with a bottle of wine. I just decided after the first day to stay out of everything and just play the Playstation.

But the third day was the turn around. It was a Saturday and Summer was out on a shopping spree. Carter and Kirsten were off doing 'magazine work.'

Me, I was still playing the PlayStation. If Seth were to come back, I could probably kick his ass. If that was even possible. When Seth would come back, we'd have a show down. That would be fun!

Marissa walked into the overly large, expensive and empty house. I could hear her come in. It wasn't as if I got that into the game. I paused the game and looked over at her.

There was something wrong, that much I could tell right away. "Hey." I said simply.

"Hey," she answered back, before heading towards the guest bedroom that she had been staying in.

"Wait, Marissa…" she stopped and turned to look at me.

I slowly got up and looked her in the eyes. She looked like she was about to cry.

"What is it Marissa?" I asked. I guess I had to play Ryan since Ryan was in Florida.

"Nothing," she answered quickly. It was too quickly. If there was one thing I knew, it was that when someone answered a question quickly and defensively, that the words to come out of their mouth were probably lies.

"Fine, don't tell me…" I said, before going back to playing the PlayStation.

What seemed like forever later, Marissa was sitting on the floor next to me, playing along with me. She sucked. It was funny.

"I got a letter today," she said. I could hear the pain in her voice.

"Yeah," I said. We were still playing the game.

"He's coming back."

"Who?" I asked, pausing the game to look at her.

She looked from the TV to the controller, to me. She was on the brink of tears. "Oliver."

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

Now whoever this Oliver person was beyond me. He obviously was important, but not very important. He was making Marissa scared and depressed, and I was never told about it.

Marissa filled me in on the bare details of Oliver Trask. She met him in rehab. He was in love with her, and according to the note still in love with her. He was sent to an institution. And now he was getting out and coming back to Newport.

I just let her talk. Then I just let silence set in. By the time she was done the controllers were on the ground. I didn't really know what to say. I mean I wish I knew what to say, but Ryan was the protector, I was just there.

I just wrapped my arm around her and she brought herself closer to me. Her face was wet with tears.

"When's he coming?" I asked, breaking the silence after a long time.

"I… I don't know…"

"Well, I won't let him hurt you, and neither will Ryan, or Seth, or anyone else, just remember that."

She nodded.

We sat there in silence for a little more before something came over me. I leaned in and kissed her. I knew it was wrong the second I realized what I was doing, but the problem was, she was kissing me back. What about Ryan? That was what my brain was thinking, but kissing her was just amazing.

I could feel the shivers running up my spine. Marissa was special.

It was like I didn't want it to stop. She pushed me away.

"I'm sorry," she said quickly, looking down at the floor.

"Yeah," I said simply, before she walked away.

It was a mutual, silent agreement. That never happened.

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

Ryan only called once the whole time he was in Florida. And that was to try to patch things up between Summer and Seth. Marissa never told him, I never told him. Marissa wanted to forget about Oliver, and so did I.

Seth had been an idiot and did a Spring Break thing that pretty much ruined everything between him and Summer. But I could care less. All I could see myself worrying about was this Oliver guy and what he was capable of.

Marissa seemed to be easier and easier to talk to since all she would bitch about was how stupid Seth was and how he totally screwed things up with Summer. She seemed a lot more open towards me after that whole thing with Oliver coming back. She even let me read the letter he sent me.

But we never told Kirsten, or Summer, or Ryan, or anyone. Both of us agreed that it would be better to just keep it to ourselves until things got out of our control.

Unfortunately, they got out of control way to quickly. More quickly than I could have hoped.

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

It was the day before everyone was coming back from Florida, and it was so sunny and beautiful out. That was why I was hanging out on the pier instead of inside playing video games.

The sun was starting to go down. Californian sunsets were very relaxing when you needed to be relaxed. That was when I heard the ear piercing scream. I looked around, there was no one around. Why did shit like this have to happen in a dark alley way when nobody was around?

It was getting darker and darker by the second as I heard the scream "GET YOUR HANDS OFF OF ME!"

It sounded like Marissa. Actually, it sounded a lot like Marissa. My pace quickened as I turned a corner and saw it.

It was Marissa. Crumpled up on the ground. She looked like she was hit on the head at least once, and she looked pretty torn apart.

"What the fuck are you doing?" I asked. There was one guy there. I didn't see him around here before. Then again, I didn't see many people around her.

"None of your business, all right?" he said a bit angrily.

"What the fuck are you doing?" I repeated. I wanted to punch him so badly. What was it about people around here that they just had the perfectly punchable face?

"Look, Marissa is my girlfriend, and she just got a little drunk, I need to take her home," he said coolly and it just rolled off his tongue. The perfect lie.

"Marissa is not your girlfriend, I don't know who you are. Now get out of here before I call the cops."

He just smirked. So I punched him. It felt good. A little bit of the old Trey was coming back, but I knew it was for the better. Whoever this guy was bad news. Very bad news.

I punched him again. "Are you gonna leave?" I asked.

He just glared at me. "Who do you think you are?" he snapped. "Marissa is mine, okay? She's my friend, and I love her."

Love her. Love her. Love her.

It was in that instant moment that I knew who this was. Oliver Trask. His words, his actions. Everything about him was exactly how Marissa described him to me. I felt anger consuming me as I just began to pummel the shit out of him. He was trying to hurt Marissa, and I wasn't going to let him do that.

Of course he tried to fight back, but he was pitiful.

I didn't kill him. I stopped myself before I brought any serious harm upon him.

"Don't you ever touch her, ever again, you got me?"

I didn't wait for an answer, I just picked Marissa up (I never realized how light she was until I actually had to pick her up) and carried her away. I looked behind me every now and then to make sure that creep wasn't following.

He wasn't. I looked down at Marissa. I felt so bad for her. The guy was creepy, pervy and just messed up.

I was just glad I got there when I did. Things could have gotten even worse.

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

I set Marissa down on the back seat of my car and lightly shook her a little bit to try to get her out of her unconsciousness. I didn't want to have to take her to a hospital, that was the last thing I wanted.

Thankfully she began to stir.

"Marissa," I said quietly.

The next thing I heard was a scream and I felt a hard slap across my face.

"I can't believe… you… I… fuck you!" she shouted angrily, pushing me out of the way of the door and running away.

This wasn't fucking happening.

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

A/n: I have two more planned chapters because Oliver is like… my favorite character that isn't Seth or Trey… so… I should have this done soon….

IluvDaniBen33 - Thanks. I like Marissa/Trey better than Marissa/Ryan… eww…

Marissa Atwood - Love you're screen name. xD

amy - Haha. The Trey/Marissa pairing is what makes the story… except its from Trey's POV… so obviously from this you can tell what Marissa is somewhat thinking.

ShimmeringEvil - Thanks!

KC-Chick - Thanks! Neither did I, but I recognized him from "24" and I was like wait… isn't he British, but the short hair is better than the long hair, even if I like his "24" character betterer… xD… Haha! I feel so honored and such… haha… I'd read it… but at the moment I am running negative on time. Haha, but I will read it!

monnie - Me too!

JohnCenasGirl4Eva - Unfortunatley, the OC was pushed back here on the coast because of Bush.

carpanthers21 - Maybe a little, but wait til Ollie gets thrown in the mix. My two favorite characters. YAY!

Okay, I watched the Breakfast Club and had an idea and wanted to run it by you guys first. It isn't exactly like the Breakfast Club, but very similar. It will be very AU (as if Ryan never came) and it follows the plot of the BFC… with Seth, Marissa, Summer, Luke and Zack. But strange things start happening when a lightning storm hits Harbor High.

It is like BFC meets Saw meets the Faculty meets… that Halloween Boy Meets World Episode… xD

So tell me what you think in the review!
