Fan Forum - The OC Fanfiction #1: Because the show lives on in our stories

Hi forum! I'm new. I post my fanfic here and hope you like it. I'm not good at english, so I'll be really content and grateful what I'm writing can be understood. I made graphics to help understanding .

The second year in Newport

Ryan is back. He returns Newport. He will be a family member of Cohens again, he will see someone again. He's not in a sheer good mood. He knows he can come back because everything is getting better, at least it seems like everything is getting better. But everything is getting better just by luck, not by his effort. He thinks he should resolve difficulties by himself. How could he resolve difficulities as those ones happened to him four months ago? At that time, he's almost falling into despair. It's almost worse than being abandoned or being sent to prison, he thinked.
"Chino didn't make you a loser, you're born to. Newport wouldn't turn you into better."

Oliver song,YouTube - the pogues - lorelei
The first person Ryan's thinking of, is Oliver. Oliver was a psycho. But he's not the type of self-destruction. He loved destructing others. Marissa was not his only interest. He also loved to see Ryan's breakdown. He loved to see Ryan losing everything, just like what he had experienced. He never attempted to suicide, he never bought drugs. He pretended to suicide, he stopped taking the psychotropic his therapist asked him to take long before. He wanted to be the one controls others, not be the one being controlled by drugs. He sold the drugs to other kids. Ryan told him to stop when discovering he's selling drugs. He pretended he's regretful and grateful to Ryan, but secretly he got hostile to Ryan for that. Ryan was so suitable to be his target. An outsider, a fish out of water, full of inferiority, full of insecurity, being uncomfortable with rich kids around, being incredulous his relation with other people...... Oliver loved doing everything to make Ryan feel worse.
On the night he went to save Marissa, Oliver's handgun was discharged accidentally after their fight. Oliver was wounded heavily and sent to hospital.

(Ryan song, YouTube - Damien Rice - Rootless Tree)
He's probably going to be a paralytic, a plant man, or a corpse. None of those endings could be accepted by Ryan. He's in agony while Oliver's in coma. He blamed himself. Oliver had infuriated him, made him jealous, made him feel frustrated, stolen his girlfriend, but nothing was unbearable. Trey had told him not to underrate any enemy. Maybe he should have told Oliver, "OK, you win" or something? Maybe he should have asked Sandy for suggestion more earlier? Maybe Oliver showed his gun just to frighten him and Marissa, maybe he didn't want to fire anyone? But it's too late. Oliver was the winner of their contest. He turned Ryan into almost a murderer. If he's not convicted by law, he could convicted himself. He probably took a person's life, or ruin his furture.or changed his fortune. Ryan couldn't dominate his own fortune, how could he dominate others'?
For the first time, he thinked he should leave Newport and never be back.

The second person Ryan's thinking of, is Theresa. He didn't meet her when he went back to chino in the Thankgiving. He only met Theresa's mother and brother. They just told him Theresa was OK. When he went back to Chino again after the whole Oliver mess, he met Theresa. She's not even pregnant. She's already a mother. She's so fragile to be a single mother. She said she didn't need him, but the fact was she needed .Ryan had no other choice but to care her and the baby. He's stayed with her and the baby for the whole summer holiday. He's been working in a construction site to earn money. The baby was growing up healthily, Theresa was getting better. Ryan could feel a little relieved for taking responsibility.
Now Theresa doesn't need him anymore. She leaves him for Eddie, with the baby. The baby's name is Daniel Diaz. Ryan thinks Daniel Atwood sounds better. No matter how other people call that boy, his real name is Daniel Atwood.

The third person he's thinking of, is Marissa. He never expects to reunited her. The whole Oliver thing is a hauting shadow between them, the whole Theresa thing is a lasting obstacle between them. Comparing with those things, their relationship and breakup were not important. "I didn't save your life. You don't owe me anything. " He told her coldly. She wanted to visit Theresa and the baby, he declined. She must be astonished when she got to know the truth about Theresa. Ryan told himself not to imagine her reaction. But he couldn't stop. He couldn't stop thinking about their past and her condition when he's not around. How she's getting along with her parents and .......Caleb? Could she get over by herself? He still worries about her. She's special for him. She's his first girlfriend. She's dedicated when she helps other people. He likes the way she hooked his neck everytime they met. He tells himself just to keep the memory in his mind, not to imagine what's going on while they meet again in Newport. Maybe they can be friends? But it's too much to make up.

Then Sandy and Kristen come into his mind. They open arms to him again. In fact they never gave him up. It's he left them four months ago. He still feel guilty for involving them into too much troubles, especially the Oliver mess. Sandy told him not to worry. Sandy told him it's not his fault. Sandy told him the indictment had been dismissed, he's innocent. Sandy told him Oliver's awake, getting out of danger, then recovering..... Sandy scolded him for the lie about Theresa..... When he said he didn't know how to repay Sandy for his kindness, Sandy scold him again. Sandy said disappointedly,"What's the kindness? You should have regarded us as your families." Sandy told him he's not qualified for everything, he should learn to give up or ask others for help. It's stupid taking everything on his own shoulder. If he's unqualified for something while he kept on dong it, he might make it get worse.
Kristen barely talked. But he could see her sadness . He knew about silent people. They usually have more deep feeling for something. He thinks in the second year, he should talk with Kristen more. Protect Cohens, make them feel better, nothing is more important than that.

Then he's thinking of D.J. He's not the only one left Chino. D.j was another one. D.J was very indifferent when they encountered in Newport. He could understand him. Their condition were very different. One was adopted, another was employed. In addition, D.J used to be the best friend of Eddie's and probably a admirer of Theresa when they're in Chino. But Theresa went for Atwood . D.J had two jobs in Newport. Gardener for day, waiter for night. He served as a waiter at the congratulatory party for caleb being named Man of the Year. The organizer yelled at him for his mini fault and told him he's fired on the spot. DJ was so embarrassed. When Ryan went to help DJ, DJ got furioused with Ryan and .bashed Ryan all of sudden. He called Ryan a hypocrite, he said Ryan acted as a rich kid while leaving Theresa into hardship. He said Theresa's a single mother and broke up with Eddie. Eddie wanted his mother and Theresa leave Chino with him for a new life. Eddie cared his sister, Theresa. But he thinked he's incompetent to foster a new baby at that time. Theresa refused to give up the baby, then Eddie left. Ryan was shocked, everyone present was shocked too.
The next day Ryan secretly visited Trey, told him about Theresa, told him his notion to leave Newport . "Help me, Ryan." Trey begged him desperately.Then Ryan went to Theresa's home and met her. He told Theresa, "Don't tell anybody who's the baby's father. You have kept it secret for almost one year, you can keep it secret for longer time. I don't convince you to reunite Trey if you don't want to. Anyway, I'm the uncle, I can care for you and baby. "
Everyone except for Theresa's family thinked Ryan was the father. He's the same age of Theresa and they were very close friends. Ryan wanted everyone not know the truth. It's a good reason to leave Newport. Cohens might feel sad for his leaving, but Theresa was in a more difficult position. It's not difficult to choose.

(Seth song YouTube - My Morning Jacket - One Big Holiday)
The last person Ryan's thinking of, is Seth. Seth is really, really an odd kid. He knows Seth is odd, but he never know seth can be so odd. Seth refused to talk with him for the whole summer holiday, But he unexpectedly contacted with Eddie via DJ. Seth never expected to change anything, it's just an eccentric idea of his. The city Eddie's living in was just in his sailing plan .He visited Eddie and stayed there for one night. He asked Eddie about Ryan's past life, he said Theresa was a pretty girl although he only saw her picture, he said Eddie's fiancee was more pretty than Theresa, he helped them to tend their shop for one afternoon. When he's about leaving, Eddie told him Trey was the father. Seth was astonished. But he knew it would be make no difference. He just told Marissa about that. Then Sandy and Kristen got to know that.
After several days, Eddie phoned his family for the first time. He told his mother his fiancee's little shop needed more people to tend. He asked his sister whether she would like to make up with Trey who's going to be unemployed and unstable for a long time. Theresa said no.
Ryan is back. Seth opens the door for him.
Seth , "Eddie wouldn't adopt you."
Ryan,"I'll visit him one day. My nephew is there."
Seth,"I'll go there with you together. I love tending shop."
Ryan,"Forget it. Eddie said you received a counterfeit bill when tending their shop. I don't think he'll hire you anymore."
