Scene 2:

The car pulled up to Ryan's house. It wasn't too big, but it wasn't too small. The house was painted bright blue, and there were flower boxes under the window sill. It had a cute little walk way made from old surf boards. The house looked clean and well kept. The garage door was opened revealing a surf board room. In it were about 50 different surf boards hanging on the walls and in racks all over the two car garage. There was a surf board on table in the middle that had just been sanded down and re-waxed. On the shelves were surfing trophies and metals. All of which sandy assumed were Ryan's. The garage was painted a bright shade of orange and the molding on top was painted to resemble a wave traveling around the room. Clearly a woman decorated this Sandy noted, as he smiled and continued on into the house after Ryan.

Next Ryan opened the door from the garage that led them into the kitchen. It had brightly colored tiles, and soft yellow walls. It was very neat and clean for a group of 17 year olds and a 4 year old. There was an island in the middle with the same tile surface as the floor and counter tops. Tucked into the island were 4 little stools, covered with the same pale yellow color as the wall. He looked over to the refrigerator where there were many of colored pictures that was clearly done by a 4 year old.

Ryan walked over to the table that had been in the far corner and grabbed some of the mail, and pushed the vase of flowers aside. Then stepped out of the kitchen and into the living room, sandy in tow. It was a smaller living room, with a couch and a T.V. There was a rack of hundreds of DVDs and CDs on either side of the T.V and giant posters of surfers all around the room. Sandy walked around the room and peered out the French doors leading out to a small patio. On the patio was a little ringlet for small bon fires, and a whole bunch of chairs surrounding it. In the corner there was a cabana bar, with Christmas lights draped from it.

Add: "RYAN! I missed you!"

Ry: "Hey I missed you too shorty!"

Ryan ruffled her blonde curls and stood up. Addison was a cute little girl, tiny for her age. She had longer blonde curly hair that framed her face, with pool blue eyes. Sandy could tell that she was a girly girls swishing around her pink summer dress. On her feet she wore pink flip flops with a big pink flower on them, and she wore a locket around her neck. Sandy looked at her with a smile. This is the little girl Kirsten always secretly dreamt about he thought. His thoughts were cut short when Ryan cut in.

Ry: "Addison this is Sandy Cohen. Were going to stay with him and his family for a little bit okay?" Ryan knelt down to her level as she moved closer to him; he whispered something in her ear. Addison giggle then ran up to sandy.

Add: "I'm Addison but you can call me Addi, How come were staying with you?"

Sa: "well its like a little vacation. We have a pool. And my wife Kirsten has a whhhhhole closet of dress up clothes" sandy laughed with a big smile.

Add: "I LOVE to dress up! Sometimes I dress up in Brooke's clothes…the ones that she lets me! I love wearing her shoes! But I don't get to dress up as much when Ryan and Brooke get dressed up to go out they don't always take me, even though I beg, so I usually get to watch movies with Olivia, which is fun but id rather go out with Ryan and Brooke…"

Ry: "okay Add the sooner you go pack a small bag of clothes and stuff the sooner we can go!"

Add: "okay! Is Brooke coming too?"

Ry: "umm no, were not staying long, but we'll see her I promise okay?"

Addison looked sad, almost as if she was about to cry, but Ryan ruffled her hair and muttered something to her that made her giggle. Sandy watched, and looked at Ryan. Wow they really are close. He thought. Poor kid though, at 17 he's raising a kid.

Ry: I'm going to go talk to Brooke. Ill be right back.

With that Ryan disappeared down the long hallway and Sandy heard him climbing a flight of stairs. He sat down and flipped through a photo album on the table. It was a modeling book he later noticed. The girl in the pictures was gorgeous, with dark wave hair, thin and beautiful. This must be Brooke. As he continued to flip, he noticed some of the ads she was in, Maxim, Sports illustrated swim suit addition, among others. No wonder they can afford this Sandy thought as he continued to snoop around. As Sandy pushed the book aside he noticed a piece of paper peaking out from under the couch. He pulled it out and threw it on the table. As he did so he noticed the words written on it. "Dear Mr. Ryan Atwood,

We would like to Invite you to surf in the pipeline masters tournament, taking place July 1- 31 in Honolulu Hawaii. If you choose to accept we will pay your way to and from Hawaii and your hotels. It's a once in a lifetime thing. 10,000 compete to be invited only 100 are chosen. We see great potential in you."

Upstairs Ryan pushed the door to his and Brooke's bedroom.

Ry: "Hey"

Br: "Right back at ya"

Ry: "Brooke I'm sorry."

Br: "Ryan. For the first time I felt like I couldn't even talk to you. I've never had a problem telling you how I feel, and you. You tell me everything. What happened? Why did you steal that car? Why did you lie to me about it?" tears began to fall from Brookes tired looking face.

Ry: "Brooke. When it comes to me and trey I do stupid things. Like break into cars. I dint intend to seal it, I didn't want to but with Trey I felt if I didn't go with him id loose him. Brooke Trey and Addison are the only family I got left. I can't loose them. I was scared, and stressed. You know as well as I do, being 17, living on your own and raising a 4 year old isn't exactly easy."

Br: "I know but were in this together"

Brooke grabbed Ryan and kissed him. He smiled at her and kissed her again until they were making out on the bed.

Add: "RYAN!" Addison yelled from downstairs.

Ry: "Brooke, I've got to take Addison with me to live with my lawyer for a weekend. I cant get out of it, and I cant say no otherwise ill be in even bigger trouble. He's going to help me with my case, and ill surf and you can come visit. It'll be a week Brooke I promise." Ryan said in a rush as he grabbed his duffel from the closet and began filling it. Mostly with bathing suits, and we suits.

Br: "okay. You know I'm going to see my sister in Connecticut for the next two weeks though. Remember?" Brook paused and sat up in the bed.

Ry: "yup then ill wait for you to get home."

Ryan zipped up the bag and looked at Brooke. She stood up, her short mini skirt had ridden up a little making it a little shorter and her wife beater was ultra tight. Ryan smiled at her and pulled her closer and gave her another kiss

Ry: "come downstairs and say goodbye."

Br: "so no Ryan and Addison. What WILL I do with myself?" she laughed and they headed down the stairs.

Ry: "Sandy this is my girlfriend Brooke, Brooke this is Sandy" Ryan introduced them then caught sight of the letter on the table. He walked over to it, and quickly swept it up, and hid it in his pocket. Brooke and Addison were too busy saying goodbye to notice, but Sandy did in the corner of his eye. Wonder why he's trying to hide it? He thought.

Sa: "ready guys?"

Add: "Yup! Bye Brooke will you call everyday?"

Br: "you bet I will"

Brooke smiled and kissed her forehead, then moved over to Ryan. They kissed and held hands out to the car. Ryan had grabbed one of his surfboards and loaded it into the back while Sandy put the bags in the trunk. Ryan walked over to Brooke and kissed her. they rested their foreheads on each other and stood like that for a minute before they kissed once more and Ryan got into the passengers seat of the car.

The car pulled away from the driveway, and Ryan glanced over at the clock. 8:34pm. He looked back at Addison who was playing with one of her dolls. As soon as they got to the Cohen's she would have to take a bath and go to bed. It was getting late. Ryan knew it would be a difficult task getting Addison to fall asleep with all the excitement from the Cohen house.

Sa: "So…Brooke seems nice."

Ry: "Ya she is"

Sa: "Does she surf too?"

Ry: "So is your wife cool with letting us crash at your place. I can't imagine someone in your community allowing a convict to stay over. Isn't she afraid ill case the place?"

All of a sudden Ryan had become angry. Maybe he just really hated the idea of leaving his girlfriend and staying with us, where the surf isn't as good, Sandy thought.

Sa: "She doesn't know yet, but I'm sure shell love you guys" Ryan grunted then turned back to play with Addison.

The Car pulled into the Cohen driveway, and all 3 got out. Addison looked around the house and gushed about how it looked like her Barbie house. Ryan grabbed there stuff from the back then looked at Sandy.

Ry: "should you tell her first?"

Sa: "ohh good idea. One sec" Sandy ran into the house leaving Ryan and Addison.

Add: "How long did it take to get here?"

Ry: "24 Mins"

Add: "So we can come visit a lot then. Maybe next time Brooke can come?"

Ry: "Add, this isn't a long term thing. It's in and out ok."

Sandy came walking back out. Kirsten was at his feet, she looked skeptical until she saw little Addison holding on to Ryan's legs. She whispered "ohh she's soo cute!" to Sandy, before she introduced herself and led Ryan and Addison into the pool house where they would be staying.

Ry: "umm…Do you have a bath tub I could give her a bath in?" Ryan asked politely

Ki: "ohh yes. I could give her one if you'd like"

Ry: "Thanks but she has to know you first to let you give her a bath. We've been abandoned too much, that she knows not to trust people so easily. But she has taken a quick liking to you guys so…"

Ki: "I understand. So you watch her?"

Ry: "Ya…we have no other family."

Kirsten felt sorry for them. How could anyone abandon those kids? Especially a 4 year old and lever her in the care of her 17 year old brother. Although he did a great job with her Kirsten could tell.

Ki: "What time does she wake up in the morning? Ill have breakfast ready for you guys, or I could get her up and ready for you."

Ry: "She usually gets up when I get in, so ill get her ready. Ten she usually comes to the beach with me and plays with my girlfriend while I surf. We have this routine."

Ki: "oh…when you get in?"

Ry: "ya I go running at 5am for an hour and a half, then come home at 6:30am and she's usually about just waking up. By the time I get out of the shower she's up."

Ki: "Oh well then ill have dinner ready."

Kirsten walked out of the room. It's was so nice having a little girl in the house she thought….
