"The way back" THE OC (Season return season 4)
Ryan stared at her, covered in blood bleeding out of the side of her head, he picked up his cell phone still shaking from shock and dialed 911, the ambulance was on its way.
Ryan- "its going to be ok… hold on.. Stay with me Marissa.. you cant leave me.."
Marissa- "ok.. Ryan?"
Ryan- "Yes?"
Marissa- (took a deep breath).. "I Love you.."
Ryan- (smiled at her) "I love you too"
Finally the ambulance arrived and Marissa and Ryan were transported to the hospital, Marissa was fading in and out of consciousness whilst Ryan on the other hand was wide awake only a few sore ribs and fresh cuts covered in blood, nothing he hadn't had before, his only worry now was if Marissa was going to be ok. Sitting In the back of the ambulance Ryan never let go of her hand. He thought to himself:
Why did this have to happen to her? I could have done something to stop this! Volchek is going to pay!
Marissa was placed in a ward but no one was able to see her yet, Ryan was also put into a room and got his cuts and bruises fixed up. Sandy, Kirsten, Seth and Summer then walked in.
Sandy- "Hey kiddo, how are you feeling?"
Ryan- "Hey guys, I am fine... Just worried about Marissa have you heard any news?"
Kirsten- "Actually yes, the doctor came out and talked to Julie, (her voice got softer) Ryan… Marissa is in a coma, I am so sorry sweetie, the doctor said that he doesn't know how long she is going to be in it, he just said to keep on talking to her because sometimes familiar voices help the coma patients wake up"
Ryan's face lost its entire colour, he lay back on his bed and just stared up at the ceiling.
Seth- "I am sorry buddie"
Ryan-"She can get through this"
Ryan was able to go back home with Kirsten, Sandy and Seth. At home it was very quiet, Ryan just sat in the pool house unable to sleep at all, just thinking over what had happened last night and remembering everything that had happened, she had said "I love you" to him, that hit him with surprise, they weren't even a couple at this time and yet she still said it. Going over everything in his head he slowly laid down on the bed and fell asleep.
AT THE COHEN HOUSE
The next morning all of the Cohens got up and went to the hospital, Ryan was anxious in the car and didn't speak the whole car ride down. At the hospital the doctor allowed everyone to go into Marissa's room but only one at a time. Through the curtains it was visible that Julie was already in there just looking at her daughter, speaking to her. Tears running down Julies face made it hard to make out what she was saying, Ryan saw how sad Julie was. Ryan slowly made his way to the door, Julie looked up to see him, she then wiped the tears from her eyes and made her way outside the room signaling Ryan to come with her. Once out of the room Julie pulled Ryan into a tearful hug. Ryan a little surprised hugged her back just as sorrowful, he understood what she was going through, he wanted her back to her normal self as much as she did.
Julie- "We have to be strong Ryan, go talk to her, that's what she would want… to hear your voice"
Ryan-"She is going to get through this… she is strong.. we know she can pull through.. we love her"
Julie- "Thanks Ry" (gave him a smile)
Ryan made his way into the room where she was laying there… so helpless…. So beautiful, he made his way over to her and sat down on the chair that was near the bed. He held her hand and began to speak…
"Hey... how are you? Although I think I can answer that one for myself… his smile faded slightly.. you have to wake up, I don't know what I would do without you, (paused) I remember the first time I met you (a tear began to fall down the side of his cheek) that drive way (he smiled) who are you? Whoever you want me to be (he smiled). Out of all these years I think the one thing that I have learnt is that… I will never stop loving you…
He brought her hand up to his mouth and kissed it gently then placed it back so it lay gracefully on her stomach. (Tears began to run down his face) He got up and walked out of the room, closing the door behind him, what he didn't notice was Marissa's finger twitching as soon as he closed the door, she was waking up!
Sandy and Kirsten didn't go in, they let Julie have as much time with her daughter as she needed. They all then Piled back into the car, still silence was filled in all of them. Sandy saw how red Ryan's eyes were and knew he had been crying but he didn't say anything because he thought that maybe Ryan would be upset.
AT THE HOSPITAL
Back at the hospital Julie entered Marissa's room with a fresh hot coffee, as she went to sit down she noticed Marissa's eyes fluttering open and shut.
Julie-"oh my! Marissa can you hear me?"
Marissa- "Mum?"
Julie- (crying with tears of joy) "Yes! It is me your awake hun!"
Marissa- "Was it the accident? All I can remember is seeing Ryan and then everything went black"
Julie- "I am so glad that you are ok!" (Pulled her in for a huge hug)
Marissa- "Would you be able to call Ryan for me mum?"
Julie- "Of course, I was just about to do that now!"
Marissa- "Thanks mum!"
AT THE COHEN HOUSE
Ryan was outside shooting some hoops with Seth when his cell phone started to go off.
Seth- "You going to get that man?"
Ryan-"Yeah, just a second"
Ryan picks up his cell phone….
Ryan- "Hello?"
Julie- "Ryan! It's Julie.. SHE WOKE UP!"
Ryan- "Are you serious? That is great, I will be right there."
Julie- "Great!"
Ryan- "I told you she would pull through!"
Julie- "Yes you did! And I think because of you she pulled through!"
Ryan-"Ok see you soon"
Ryan hangs up his cell phone….
Ryan-"Marissa woke up man!"
Seth- "Awesome man! Let's go!"
