Okay, so I'm not 100 sure how this story will end, but I do have a pretty good idea where I'm taking it. Again, I hope you enjoy. Unfortunately, I won't be able to post anything new until Monday or Tuesday, but I will work on it! Thank-you so much for your R&R's!

"Hey Sandy," Ryan said as he walked up to the dark-haired Jewish man.

"Hey, so what exactly is going on?" Sandy replied.

"Well…" Ryan continued to explain what had happened earlier.

When he had finished, Sandy was in disbelief.

"So, you have no idea where Marissa is now?" He asked.

"No. I just hope she's okay," Ryan replied.

"I'm going to give Julie a call. She definitely deserves to know what's going on," Sandy said as he pulled out his cell phone, surprisingly with no objections from Ryan, Seth, or Summer, "Hey Julie- yeah, it's Sandy. Listen, something's happened to do with Mariss- oh- mmhm- I see- Oh my god, so you know everything?- Yeah, okay. I'll be there as soon as I can."

"Is everything okay, dad?" Seth asked.

"Julie knows, Marissa told her. She said she drove to Chino a little while ago. She has Trey," Sandy replied.

"Wait, so Trey's alive?" Ryan asked, with some hope in his voice.

"Wait, so Marissa actually told her mom something? Why would she ever do that? She hates her mom," Seth interrupted, in sarcastic disbelief.

"Right. That's what really matters here, Seth," Summer interrupted.

"Whoa, she speaks!" Seth replied, "I was starting to think you left."

"Shut up, Cohen. So, Sandy, is Trey alive?" Summer asked.

"No," Sandy replied, "She has his body."

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

"Marissa, you will get into this house. NOW!" Julie ordered.

"How could you do this, mom? This is crazy, I'm probably going to be in more trouble because of what you've done," Marissa objected.

"Honey, Trey was just another low-life who would have never amounted to anything but a thief or a drug dealer. No one will care that he's dead, so it's best if we just get rid of his body and forget it ever happened," Julie was always heartless type.

"Yeah, but mom, I care," Marissa replied.

Julie had no answer for Marissa.

"Just get in the house," was all she could think to say.

Marissa knew she couldn't win; eventually she was going to end up in juvie. She quietly walked into the house, following her mother.

"Now, we're going to wait for Sandy to get here before we do anything with Trey's body. He's a lawyer, and he can get us out of this mess," Julie was convinced that Sandy would be able to fix everything.

Just then a car pulled into their driveway. Sandy, Ryan, Seth, and Summer all stepped out and went to the door. Julie opened it without them even having to knock. Marissa had gone into her room. She didn't want to see anyone right now, not even Ryan.

"Okay, I know what I did seems a little irrational. I just thought that if I got rid of the body then my baby wouldn't have to go to juvie," Julie explained.

"I've got to say, Jules, I had never known you to act so compulsively. You never cease to amaze me. People are going to find out though, and Marissa could be in even worse trouble," Sandy replied.

"Yeah, and what were you planning on doing when the police did find out Trey was gone?" Ryan asked quite angrily.

"Look, I didn't think anyone would find out. No one would have to know he was killed," Julie responded.

"I would know," Marissa replied as she came down the stairs.

"Honey, Trey is scum. You would get over it eventually," Julie argued.

"You MUST be joking! Mom, I can't just get over killing someone 'eventually'!" Marissa stormed back upstairs.

"Wait! Marissa!" Ryan yelled as he followed her upstairs.

"Seth, Summer, you two go upstairs with Ryan and Marissa. I need to have a talk with Julie," Sandy ordered.

"Okay, we'll make sure Marissa doesn't pop any pills or drink too much," Seth said dryly.

"There's no need for sarcasm, Seth," Sandy snapped.

"I wasn't being sarcastic," Seth and Summer went upstairs. They decided that Ryan and Marissa needed to be alone together, so they went into one of the many rooms of the Cooper-Nichol home.

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

"Ryan, I'm so sorry. I don't even know what to say," Marissa sobbed, "I just keep re-living it over again in my head. I can't stand it."

Ryan didn't say anything. He was grateful for Marissa saving his life, but he also had loved his brother. Right now, he didn't know what he was feeling towards her, and it was making him irritated.

"I just wish it hadn't happened," Marissa continued, "I wish things could go back to before all of this happened."

"Yeah, but Marissa, just what was so great about things before?" Ryan snapped.

"I just wish we could start over, I mean, minus the Oliver thing and shooting Trey," Marissa felt really small now.

Oliver, Ryan thought. Where was that kid now? He wondered. Unknowingly, Oliver would be coming back very soon, with some vengeance of his own.
