I don't own the O.C..

Scene 7

Ryan and Dan arrived at the party around the same time. Ryan had to swing over to pick up Abby. He and Abby were on again off again. This time they were off, but they still were really close. Ryan and Abby hung out all the time, the kept trying relationships but they never seemed to work out.

They got out of the car and headed to the door. They rang the doorbell. Kirsten Cohen ran up to the door and answered it. Ryan took a step back, hoping that no one would recognize him.

Ki: "Dan! Hi!"

Da: "Kirsten!" Dan stepped in, and gave Kirsten a polite hug.

Ki: "I'm glad you came, every one is out back."

Da: "Thank you. This is my son Ryan, and this is Abby." Dan said pointing them out.

Kirsten looked at Ryan. Son? Ryan was his son? That meant that Trey was also Dans son. She almost let her jaw drop, but instead she kept herself composed.

Ki: "yes, I love your movies." She smiled.

Ry: "thanks."

Dan headed outside, and Abby followed. Ryan looked at Kirsten. She was staring at him like she knew way to much about him. He looked at her awkwardly and decided to say something.

Ry: "you have a very nice house."

Ki: "thank you."

Sandy walked downstairs with Trey. Trey looked at Ryan his eyes wide. Ryan walked up to Trey.

Sa: "Ryan?"

Ry: "this is your house? Your party? Oh my god." He said. He couldn't believe how weird this was.

Sa: "yes. I figured you and your father would be here. your always welcome."

Ry: "thanks but Trey, I don't think you should be mingling about with Dan being here and all."

Sa: "your right."

Tr: "that's ok, the Yankees are playing anyway." Trey rushed upstairs.

Ryan looked at Sandy and Kirsten.

Ry: "thanks. For everything. I'm sorry that you have to do this."

Ki: "no. its fine." Kirsten smiled. Ryan seemed so nice.

Dan appeared around the corner, and looked out for Ryan.

Da: "Ryan, come on I want you to meet some people."

Ryan followed and walked out into the party with Dan. The last thing he wanted to do was pretend like everything was perfect, and that Dan was such a great man. Instead of causing a scene he just followed Dan outside. Ryan couldn't help but think of Trey. Good thing Dan hadn't seen him come downstairs, that would have been a sight, and something odd to explain to everyone. Too bad he thought, he would have loved to see Dan Struggle.
