Chapter 1 : breaking the news
marissa""marissa"
"no, no"…a tear flew down his cheek
ryan sat there on the road with marissa in his arms , he couldn't believe it he just couldn't believe it , how could she be dead . a series of flashes swept through his mind , the first time they met down the driveway , their first kiss on the ferris wheel, they re dance together at prom… , she was marissa , she d become such a big part of his life over these 3 yrs that he just couldn't imagine life without her.he sat there for a long time trying to absorb what had happened…. When his phone started ringing , it was sandy . he looked at his watch it was 2 o clock , he should have been home hours ago.
"ryan , where are you , is everything ok ?" sandy asked
ryan could barely remove a "no" from his mouth .
"marissa…..marissa.." he said in a tearful voice.
"what happened to marissa ?"
ryan managed to tell him the address and in about half an hour, being far away from home sandy and Kirsten arrived. They were completely shocked to find marissa lying in ryans arms like that and the both of them on the road.
Ryan s car was still on fire , which could be seen a few metres away.
"oh my god" Kirsten said looking at the two of them
she headed towards them "ryan are you ok?"
all he could do was look at her .she then saw marissa and a tear rolled down her cheak.
Sandy called the ambulance.
The ambulance came and took marissa to the hospital on a stretcher . they confirmed that she was dead.
They arrived at the hospital , Julie , doctor Roberts and kaitlin reached there too.
Sandy told Julie about marissa ,she fell on the floor at once . Dr Roberts sat with her , kaitlin was in shock.
Ryan after much resistence had been taken in for a check up.
Seth and summer had been called .
"no , marissa cant die , no , no" summer ran out as soon of the hospital as soon as she heard the news from her father , seth followed her.
sandy and Kirsten waited for news on ryan. A young lady came towards them.
"hi I am doctor tancredi , are you here for ryan atwood ?"
"yeah , how is he , is he ok?" sandy asked anxiously.
" ryan has a sprained arm , a few stiches and a cut on his head , but other than that hes fine. Mainly in shock"
" can we see him" Kirsten asked
"yeah ,of course"
they both entered his room to find an empty bed, the room was right near the exit . they knew he d left the hospital and that he needed more time before he could talk to anyone and tell them what had happened.
Ryan sat at the life guard stand . it was marissa s favourite hide out . shed come here whenever she needed to be alone .
Marissa was gone , even though they hadn't been together for a while they both still loved each other and that was something that would have never changed. Ryan never really cried he d been through so much in his life that he d become much stronger than he was as a kid. But crying right now was something he couldn't control . what was he going to do without her , she was the love of his life .
