Hello everyone I'm sorry for the wait but I have been having a serious case of writers block combined with work everyday. Once again I'm sorry and I'll try to update sooner.

I don't own Phineas and Ferb but I do own Ryan.

The police had been called to the school. They, along with school administrators interviewed the students who witnessed the fight between Ryan and Alex. Many of their stories were similar and all defending Ryan. Everyone said that Alex had been bullying others throughout the years, that he has been bullying Ryan all day and that Ryan fought him in defense of himself and Katie; who Alex had slapped across the face. Unfortunately, they were also told about how Ryan nearly punched Katie at the end of his rage.

Ryan's mother had walked inside the school. She was still wearing her nursing scrubs, having been called away from work. She had brown hair and light brown eyes. She spoke with an administrator then was sent to an office where Ryan was being held. Ryan on the other hand was about to be interviewed by the police.

Ryan's POV

I sat in one of the meeting rooms alone, crying and, thinking about what I had done. How could I let it happen, how could I let my anger get the better of me again, how close was I to hurting Katie, I thought to myself. Just then my mom, a female police officer and the principal walked in. My mom sat beside me while the officer and principal sat across the table.

"Ryan the Officer needs you to answer some questions," my mother said. All I could do was nod in response.

"Ryan, I'm detective Smith and I need you to tell me the details of the fight that occurred between yourself and a young man named Alex. Then I may ask a few more questions, Okay" She said as she got out her notepad and a pen. I looked up at her and nodded again. I mentally sighed as I gave her my statement. This is going to be a long day, I thought to myself.

After I finished giving my statement the officer said we were free to go; she also said that I probably wouldn't be charged with anything since I defended myself and Katie from Alex with plenty of witnesses to back the claim up. The principal still needed to talk to my mother and myself, for the school's response to the situation.

The officer stood up and left the room closing the door behind her; then the principal ran his hands over his face and sighed. "Ryan," he began, "While listening to your story, I realized that the school is at fault for letting this situation occur. Alex will be expelled for his actions. Though, I am sorry to say that because of your violent response to the situation I have no choice but to suspend you from school for the rest of the week.

"You can't do that sir, he has a right to defend himself." My mother protested.

"I agree with you completely Mrs. O'Neil, though this is the minimum punishment for this situation. I am sorry but it's out of my hands." He replied

I felt like I was just hit by a bus. I'm being punished for defending myself and my friend.

Mom and I walked back to the car and drove home in silence. I went up to my room, sat at my desk and stared at my sister's picture. I started talking to myself, "Well sis first day of school and my life has completely turned upside down. I'm just not sure what to do. I sometimes think I should just end it right now and join you." I rolled up my shirt sleeves and looked at the two scars on my arms. "I miss you so much; I wish you were still here."

My mother called my name as she entered "Ryan." I couldn't bear to look her in the eye for what I had done. She then sighed and said, "Ryan I'm not mad at you, though I'm disappointed that you let your anger get the better of you again."

"He deserved it," I said angrily.

"Ryan, nobody deserves to be beaten up." She stated

"After what he did, I'm surprised I didn't kill him."

"Ryan what has gotten into you?" She asked.

I turned around, looked at her and stated, "You weren't there mom; he picked on me all day. He made me feel like crap, tricked me into yelling at my friends, and then slapped one of them in the face. My anger was already built up because of everything he did to me. When he slapped my friend… I lost it. It was just like the last time; only this time I took a stand."

"No Ryan it wasn't like last time, last time you shoved a kid who bullied you into the wall; however this time you beat up a kid out of rage and nearly hit a girl who was trying to stop you. I may have not been there Ryan, but that doesn't give you the right to beat up someone." She stated.

I snapped at her and said, "The person he slapped was one of the few people who actually said they were my friend, not just pretending to be; now… they all hate me. Oh did I mention that she resembled my sister who by the way if you remember died because of the same shit that I went through today and for most of my life. That's also the reason I have these scars on my arms now."

"Ryan it wasn't your fault that she died" She sadly said.

I stood up with tears running down my face and sobbed, "Yes it was because I couldn't man up and protect her when she needed me, that's why she's dead." I then took a deep breath and said, "Look I need some air, I'll be back later." I then walked past her and out the front door.

I walked towards the city trying to clear my head while wiping away the tears in my eyes. There was a slight chill in the air but it didn't bother me that much, I like the cold. I reached under my shirt to look at my locket but found that it wasn't there. Great, I thought; now my locket's gone. Will one good thing happen for once? I sighed as I walked, then I saw something strange a small wooden lodge in the middle of the skyscrapers. Curiosity got the better of me as I walked towards it. As I got close I saw a sign on the side "Fireside Girl's Troop 46231 Lodge" I said out loud. Must be some sort of camping group, I thought to myself. I then continued to walk when I heard the door open but I didn't look back. I then heard a female voice call my name "Ryan?"
