Yeah... but I see #7 (Ryan contemplating how he went to jail because Oliver lied, and then deciding not to get drunk out of his mind) as somewhat hopeful. Ryan had a choice, drink the booze and be his father and Trey, or put it away and try to be stronger than them, even if it was harder to be strong. He chose the harder, but better, route.
And #9 is the same universe as #1, and when you combine them you see that yeah, Ryan's hurting and broken, and yeah Lucas was viscious and cruel in blaming Ryan before Ryan left, but Lucas was TERRIFIED when Ryan was trapped, he was DESPERATE to save his brother and didn't even see Marissa because he loved his brother and wanted to save him... and Lucas clearly regrets his past visciousness, because he DOES love Ryan, no matter what.
And #13! Yeah, Ryan's sort of broken and trapped, but in the end he choices himself over the manipulative people in his life, and he's gonna go wtih Brooke and yeah, it'll be tough, but they'll be together and they'll be okay...
Sorry... ::sheepish smile:: I'm justifing, I know, but... but... there's hope in some of these! lol
