A/N: This Chapter is a lot more like the OC except for the fact how these characters behave nothing like they behave on TV, at least for most of them, then again this AU for a reason. Sorry about the previous chapter confusion with Luke being Ryan. It was supposed to be Ryan not Luke. But in this story Ryan does act a lot like Luke, he is a mix between the two characters. Please read and review. Hope you enjoy it.

Chapter 2

It was Friday afternoon, and I was packing for the road trip to L.A. I guess I am not flying solo today; Ryan, Summer, Taylor and Seth were joining me. We were taking The Cohen's Range Rover because it has the best stereo in town. Taylor came over to help me pack since she got her maid to pack her things for her.

"Taylor aren't you afraid that your maid might forget something I mean gosh she has no clue on fashion, did you see what she was wearing today, leopards!!" I said shocked.

"Nah she is cool when it comes to packing things, she knows my taste even though she personally needs a makeover" she said reassured.

We both giggled, and gossiped some more.

"Girls come on down for dinner" my mother called.

We had a turkey, mashed potatoes, veggies, and champagne. After dinner, I left with Taylor to drop her off at her home.

"So Marissa you thinking about hooking up with Ryan in LA" Taylor asked.

"I dunno, I mean is he really the guy for me" I said.

"C'mon Marissa don't be so picky, what more do you want from a guy, he is definitely hot, captain of the soccer team, and is crazy about you" she said with a smile.

"K fine, I'll think about it" I replied.

"You're always thinking Rissa, you gotta step out of the bubble" she said as she nudged me.

"Taylor not everyone wants to be a whore at 16" I said with a sarcastic smile.

"Oh-no girl you did not just call me a whore, wait… I forgot I am one" she said.

"Okay so I'll be seeing you tomorrow at 9 Taylor" I said as I pulled up into her driveway.

"Kisses, Bye Bitch." "Bye" I said after her.

Saturday Morning

"WHERE IS MY BLUE CHANEL PURSE" I yelled in despair.

"Shut-up Barbie, its right here" Kaitlyn said as she pointed to the sofa.

"Thank God" I said in relief.

"Fine, don't say thank you" Kaitlyn said with a smarty look on her face.

"You know what I'll be nice for once and say thanks because I don't want to leave with any bad karma on me, you know" I replied.

"Urgh you disgust me, I am so glad I have the weekend without you" she yelled after me.

"Whatever" I said and left.

"Marissa I expect you to be home by 3am tomorrow" my dad yelled after me as I left the house.

Ryan picked me up and Seth was already with him.

"So guys how's it going" I asked.

"Pretty good, excited about the trip" They said.

We then went to pick up Summer who had about a dozen suit cases with her.

"Oh man not again, summer I thought you got it clear no more than 2 suit cases" Seth said with an annoyed face.

"But what would I do with all my outfits" Summer said.

"I am sorry Summer but you can only bring 4 of the suit cases because there is no more room in the trunk" Seth said.

"Fine but let me pack all the things I want the most in the 4 suit cases that I am bringing" Summer said aggravated

"This is going to take awhile, isn't it?" Seth added.

"Oh yeah" I said.

"So Marissa, how's it going?" Ryan asked me.

"Going good, just a bit tired you know from school and all" I said.

"Yeah I know what you mean, Coach Arson was up our asses all week" he said.

"Well I am glad I can have some time off school" I said with a smile.

"Me too" he said as he put his hand on my lap.

"For crying out loud are you done yet Summer?" Seth said.

"Almost" Summer replied.

"Okay so where are we going first?" I asked.

"Well we thought we might first hit the hotel then go to LAX" Ryan said.

"Sounds good" I added.

"And Sunday you girls can have some time to shop, while Ryan and I are going to go check in the Surf Shop for the latest gear" Seth said.

"Sounds cool, and then later we can all spend some time together with a bonfire" I added.

"Great, it's a plan" Ryan said as he kissed me.

"All done guys" Summer said.

"Finally" Seth said as he let out a sigh.

"Seth, you need to know something about girls, we actually care about how we look and dress" Summer said.

Ryan and I just smiled knowing what a mess Seth has got himself into this time. No one back talks Summer and gets away with it.

"Fine Summer, have it your way" Seth said.

"Now that's better" Summer said as she leaned over and kissed Seth.

"Hey guys" Taylor squealed.

"Hey Taylor" I replied.

Summer and Seth were too busy making out to even notice Taylor get in the car.

"You know Ryan, I kinda feel almost bad for Taylor for sitting next to them two"

"Yeah me too, I'd be anywhere but where Taylor is right now" he said.

But Taylor didn't seem to be bothered too much because she was too busy updating her dating profile and checking out all the guys available in LA.

"The hotel is nice" I said.

"Best hotel in LA" Ryan added.

"Okay so Seth and I are getting a room" Summer added.

"I want my own room, just in case I get a cute boy" Taylor added.

"And Ryan and I are getting a room" I said kinda pleased with myself for finally having the guts to say that.

Ryan, who was kinda surprised along with everyone else, went and booked the rooms and got the keys.

"So where are we eating" Taylor asked.

"How about the Sushi Bar down the street" Seth added.

"Fine with me" Summer answered.

"Urgh I really am not in the mood for Sushi, I rather go for Thai" Taylor said.

"Anything is fine with me" I said.

"I think I rather go for Sushi than Thai also" Ryan added.

"K you guys can go to the Sushi Bar and I'll meet up with you guys after dinner at the hotel and then we can go to LAX" Taylor said as she left.

"You coming with us" Summer asked me.

"Yeah I guess so" I added.

"The menu looks very good" Seth said.

"I love the decorations" I commented.

"Lovely dress Riss" Ryan said as he looked into my eyes.

"You're not so bad yourself" I added as I brushed my sandy bangs aside.

"K, you know what, Seth and I are gonna go over to the bar" Summer said.

"See ya guys" Ryan said as they left.

We ordered our food.

"I am going to go to the washroom, be back in a sec" I said as I rushed off.

"Oh crap I got my period, this sucks major" I said.

"What am I going to do, tonight was supposed to be the night" I let out a sigh.

"Is everything fine" I asked Ryan as he got off his cell.

"Yepp, its all cool Riss" he said.

"The food is delicious" I said.

"Oh yeah, way better than any diner in New Shore" he added.

We just smiled.

"Okay so you guys done yet" Summer asked just as I finished my plate.

"Yepp we are all ready to go" Ryan answered.

"So how was Thai" I asked Taylor

"It was good, and did I mention I met the cutest guy ever" she said with a smile.

"Taylor, you say that about every guy!" Summer exclaimed.

"Yah I know" she replied.

"I honestly ask myself how she gets a guy every single time she comes to LA" I said.

"Beats me" Summer replied.

"K you girls ready to go" Seth asked as he opened the door to Taylor's room,

"Yes we are" Taylor replied.

The club was filled with lights, noises, and people. It was very dramatic. I've been to many clubs before but not to a famous one like this before. The atmosphere was heating up and I could hardly breathe with all the excitement around me.

"Coop I am going to go dancing with Seth" Summer rushed with Seth into the crowd.

"Want a drink" Ryan asked me.

"Umm Sure, a Pina Colada" I said as he left me on the dance floor with Taylor.

I quickly noticed Taylor eyeing the guy with the black shirt who was standing in front of the cocktail counter.

"You should go talk to him" I nudged Taylor.

"You really think?"

"Well yeah" I said.

"But what about that guy from the Thai restaurant" she asked confusingly.

"You weren't really serious about him, were you?" I repeated after her.

"Rissa you always know what to say" as she rushed on to speak to him.

"Here is your drink" Ryan said as he gave it to me.

"Thanks."

"Wanna go dance" he asked me as he bowed down and offered his hand.

"Sure, I'd love to, and this drink is delicious" I said holding his hands and sliding in through the crowd.

The heat really started to heat up; Summer and Seth were well into each other as they made out like crazy on the center of the dance floor. Taylor who was no where to be found was probably getting it on with some random guy. And me, well I was just dancing the night away with Ryan. The thought of tonight is what sent shivers down my spine. How could I sleep with Ryan when I have my period? The heat was really getting to me, and like everyone else I was starting to get horny, I mean I had 3 drinks, kinda hard not to get horny.

I reached over to Ryan and kissed him, and we were lip-locked for a long time as we exchanged kisses and saliva back and forth. I never wanted the night to end, better yet go to the hotel room where my nightmare awaits.

Ryan pushed me onto the bed as he came on over me. He started to un-button his shirt, when I stopped him.

"Ryan I can't do it, not tonight" I said nervously not knowing what reaction to expect from him.

"Its fine Marissa, I don't want to pressure you" and he got off me and went into the washroom to take a shower.

I quickly speed-dialed Holly because I knew for sure Summer and Taylor were too busy getting busy to answer my phone call.

"Hello Holly"

"Hey coop, how's LA"

"LA going good I think…., but I have a huge problem"

"K, how is it good, when you're having a HUGE problema"

"See I wanted to actually do it today with Ryan and I can't now because I have my period"

"Shit is that the worst timing or what"

"I know tell me about it"

"Well did you at least tell him the reason why not?"

"No I didn't, it just feels kinda weird, because this has happened before and I gave him no reason other than I am not ready yet, and now it's all just….. Argh, why does this always happen to me"

"It's okay Marissa; you still have plenty of chances to do it in the future, just don't forget to tell him the reason no matter how weird it feels"

"Okay I won't, k I gotta go Ryan is done his shower"

"K bye Love take care"

"Ryan the reason I didn't want to sleep with you today is because I have my period and I want our first time to be special."

"It's completely fine Riss" he said as he embraced me with his muscular arms.

"Thanks babe" I said smiling.

"Anything for you Riss" he smiled after me.

We just made out and slept the night through. I woke up and found myself sleeping on Ryan's chest. Boy does he have killer abs. I got ready and woke up Ryan who was sleeping in like a baby.

"Marissa I don't wanna get up shut the blinds, PLEASE"

"No Ryan I will not, you have to get up, and we have a long day today"

"Fine in 5 minutes I will be up and be ready to go"

"You better be, I am going to be in Taylor's room" I said as I kissed him au revoir.

"Taylor you look like you just got run over by a truck"

"Do I really look that bad?"

"Nah I am just messing with you, you look fine, but I am sure you had a busy night last night"

"Only the time of my life baby"

"Where'd he go?"

"He left like at 4 in the morning, and he gave me his number just in case if I feel like stopping by."

"Cute." I said as I walked on over to the window.

"Beautiful View isn't it Rissa?"

"LA is simply gorgeous, I want to definitely move here after I graduate"

"You and me both Marissa, You and me both"

"Okay everyone in the jeep" Ryan said as he pressed on the gear of the 4 by 4.

We all got into the range rover; I was in the front seat with Ryan.

"Hey Ryan can you drop us off at the Beverly Center before you go to your surf store" I asked.

"Sure Riss" said Ryan and I leaned over and kissed him quickly.

"So I really wanna check out the DKNY store first" Taylor said when we got to the store

"No way! I HAVE to go to Dior first! There are so many more things in this store here than the one back at home!" Exclaimed Summer

"Fine we'll split up, I will go alone and you can with Marissa" said Taylor as she walked off.

"So… did you and Ryan do it last night?" asked Summer suddenly.

"No, I …." I was going to say more but Summer cut me off

"You know you are going to have to do it some time, he can't wait forever."

"I know, I know but I had my period yesterday and I wanted my first time to be special"

"Oh…..omg I LOVE this bag, I have to get it! It will go so well with my new Manolo Blahniks"

"You mean your new gold ones? You're so right; it is an unbeatable combination if you add your new Dolce & Gabbana dress you got on Friday"

"Oh yeah, definitely, you rock at this stuff!"

We went to the Louis Vuitton store then BEBE. We met Taylor for lunch at California Pizza Kitchen. They have the best pizza in California. We decided to go to Belgravia Collection to buy some jewalry; I got a really nice sapphire stone necklace! Then we went to L.A. nails and spa and got manicures. We made two last stops at the Occhiali da Sole,(which is a sunglass store) and Guess.The guys then picked us up at 7 to go to dinner at Mr.Chows.

Mr. Chows is a Chinese restaurent located in Beverly Hills, I heard a lot of celebrities stop by here, but I've never seen one.

"OMG, Is that Grady Bridges?" yelled Summer in excitement.

Just when I thought I had it all figured out, Grady Bridges out of the blue appears in front of us. We all ran up to him for his autograph and took pictures. Summer even got his number for emergencies, I wonder what emergencies will she have though. I can't wait to show all the people back home the pictures we took with Grady Bridges. He is even more fabolous in person than he is in photos. We all said our goodbyes as we left for the bonfire.

"Was that great or what?" Taylor exclaimed.

"Definitely the highlight of our trip" Summer agreed.

Summer is probabaly Grady Bridges's number one fan. When she was 5 she performed a song about Grady Bridges's for our school talent show, she was the cutest little thing. Today is definitely a day to remember for her at least. We got out of the jeep and headed for the beach when the cops stopped us.

"Hey kids mind if we ask you a few questions" asked the Inspector.

"Why sure officer" Ryan answered.

"Did any of you see a boy about your age, black hair, 6 feet tall, and had a gun with him!" the Inspector said as he showed us a picture of the convict.

"No, sorry we didn't" I answered.

"Umm officer did he really kill someone" Taylor interrupted.

"We think he raped and killed a girl at about 8 today" he said.

"OMG I hope you find that bastard" Summer said angrily.

"I hope we do too, well thanks kids for your time" the officer said as he got into his jeep and left.

"Well that was awkward" I said.

"Indeed" Seth added.

"Okay lets just go chill on the beach with a bonfire, and forget about all our problems" Ryan said.

"Good idea" Summer said as she took off her sandals and ran on to the warm sand.

The bonfire went really well. We all talked about several things such as: school, parents, the valley, etc. Just sitting by the warmth of the fire with Ryan made me forget about everything and just made me relax for once, when suddenly an abrupt sound was heard in the distance. We all got alarmed and got up to leave when a girl came running up to us asking if we can help her. She asked for a ride, and we couldn't give her one because the jeep was already full. And we left with a sorry.
