Yes, I know that this is incredibly short, but I don't have a whole lot of
time to do this at the moment. So bear with me here...Thanx.

Summary: It's the two-year anniversary of something that Ryan's tried for a long time to forget. He deals with it the way he always has, but what happens when Sandy doesn't approve of what he's doing. Ryan's given a choice between opening up to Sandy and therapy. How far will Ryan go to keep the past in the past?
Disclaimer: I own Janine and Tory, but not much else. I wish I owned the OC especially Ben McKenzie and Adam Brody, but you don't always get what you wish for in the cruel, cruel world... NO FLAMES PLEASE. CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM I CAN TAKE, BUT IF YOU HATE IT THAT MUCH, DON'T EVEN BOTHER TO REVIEW IT... :)

Who is Ryan Atwood? Even he doesn't know for sure anymore. He's someone different to everyone. He's Sandy's protégé. Seth's best friend. Marissa's ex-guy to dump problems on. He doesn't even know what he is to Kirsten. To Luke he's a guy to lean on when no one else is there. To his mom he was always a burden, something to be put up with and resented. To her boyfriends, he was a punching bag. To Trey, well, he hasn't seen Trey since Thanksgiving, but he's pretty sure that it doesn't even matter what he is to Trey anymore. It was so much easier when he lived in Chino. So maybe he smoked and drank too much there. Maybe he did do some drugs there. Maybe he had too much sex with too many different girls, but that didn't mean it wasn't easier. He might have made a lot of mistakes in Chino, but that was part of life. You can't screw up in Newport. If you do, they send you to therapy, which is everyone's solution to everything there. Life in Chino was what it was. Life in Newport is full of hidden twists. In Chino, if you were pissed at a guy, you could just have it out with him in the street and that was that. Win or lose, it was simple and no one did it any differently. Here, in Newport, if you're pissed, it becomes something huge, something much bigger than you are. His feud with Luke when he first moved to Newport was a huge thing for a while. It was so insanely huge that even all the parents of the people involved knew what was going on and why. In Chino, it was rare to find a mom or dad that actually cared that much. If that had happened in Chino, they would have fought it out and it would have been over, winner takes girl. Chino was full of psychos, but not psychos like Oliver who were smart too. Psychos that you ran from because they would just open fire in the middle of the street. One of the few things that Ryan didn't miss. He had gotten caught in the crossfire before, when he was 13. He took two bullets: one had hit right above his knee and the other had ripped through his side. He had only needed stitches; he'd gotten lucky. That was also the night he lost his virginity. He was barely thirteen and he'd let Janine comfort him.
Ryan and Janine had been friends for as long as he and Teresa had. The only difference was that with Janine, he's always felt something special. Even when they were only 13, there'd been something there, something that Ryan would later identify as love. He'd been lying when he'd told Marissa that he'd never had a girlfriend. Janine was his first girlfriend, but after what had happened, he didn't like to think about her anymore... Sometimes, Ryan wishes he could go back to Chino. Everything was so much simpler there, but Chino brought Janine back to life for him and though he still called out for her in his sleep sometimes, that was just too much for him, especially around this time of year.
How'd you like my first chappy? Please review. I'll try to update soon, but I have a pretty hectic life, so it might be a while
