Ryan felt conflicted. He had been left yet again. This time by Teresa. She hadn't even said goodbye. She could have at least said goodbye. He understood why she left. This situation had been difficult. Eddie had made it impossible. So why did he feel so empty?
He sat in the pool house contemplating all the things he would have done to make Teresa stay… had she given him the chance. He understood why she hadn't, he would have been to convincing. He longed for a chance to convince her. There was still Marissa, he knew that. He cared about her, he truly did. But she did not trust him. What was a relationship without trust? He didn't care to find out.
His cell rang.
"Hello?"
"It's Teresa."
"Oh, hi." Ryan felt awkward. Not a strange feeling considering that the situation was awkward
"I just wanted to say goodbye." She sounded unsure.
"Where are you?" He was concerned for her. He also wanted to know where he had to race to, since he had every intension of stopping her.
"The bus station. I'm leaving at 7." She sounded like she didn't want to go. He could tell convincing her to stay would be simple.
"I'm coming." He was already in his car.
"Don't. It won't work between us." This time she sounded sure. Ryan decided to ignore that fact.
"I'm coming. You'll have to break up with me in person. No taking the easy way out." Ryan was determined not to let her go.
"Ryan….don't make this harder than it is." She sounded upset. He hated that.
"I'll see you soon." Ryan looked at his watch. It was 6. He had plenty of time to get there. Which had to mean she wanted him to get there. He hung up the phone.
He started the engine of the car. He was going to go and convince her to stay. He had to. He couldn't handle her leaving. He didn't want to be left again.
Then, he saw Marissa and her car on the side of the road. He pulled over. He got out of the car.
"Having car trouble?" He asked.
"um, a little. I'm not sure what the problem is. I just can't seem to go anywhere. I think the battery died." She looked happy to see him. He felt bad. He couldn't help but wish she had just trusted him.
"I'm kind of in a hurry…"He glimpsed at his watch again. It was 6:15.
"Oh, I don't want to keep you. Where are you going?" Marissa felt a pit form in her stomach. Silly her, of course he had somewhere to go.
"uh...I'm on my way to say bye to Teresa at the train station." He wanted to choke on his own words.
"I see. So she is actually going this time?" Marissa tried not to sound hopeful. She knew she was failing miserably.
"It looks that way." Ryan didn't look her in the eye. An awkward moment of silence passed.
"Do you have your cell with you? I accidentally left mine at home…" Marissa didn't want to stay on the side of the road.
"oh…Of course. Here." He handed her the phone.
"I'll make it quick." She dialed Summer's number.
Ryan tried to keep himself from looking at her watch as she made her call. He felt more guilty.
"Alright, Summer is on her way. She will jump my car. Thanks." Marissa didn't want him to go. She loved him. She wished he would just stay.
"Ok. I got to run…I'll see yah." Ryan started backing towards his car.
"Ok, I'll see you to!" She watched him hop into his car and drive off.
She felt the pit in her stomach swell to a proportion she had not felt was originally possible. Why hadn't she trusted him? He would still be hers if she had. Marissa felt a sudden determination. If Teresa left…that would make him free again. She would make him hers again.
She then saw Summer's car coming around the corner and pulling to the side. Seth was in the car with her.
"Here to jump me?" Marissa asked.
"Do you think I know how to jump you?" Summer shook her head at Marissa.
"You don't know me at all. Cohen, jump her car." Summer looked at him expectedly.
"Do I look like I know how to jump a car?" Seth looked right back down at her.
"Oh good point." Summer rolled her eyes at him.
"So neither of you know how to jump my car but you both came here to do it?" Marissa flicked her eyes in each of their directions.
"I just assumed he was man enough to do it." Summer shrugged.
"She often overestimates my capabilities." Seth nodded.
Marissa sighed.
"Can we give you a lift?" Seth asked.
"Uh, can you take me to the bus station?" Marissa asked trying to sound casual.
"Why?" Summer blurted.
"Well Ryan is going there to say bye to Teresa and I want to be there for him when he is done." Marissa could tell the try and be casual about it thing wasn't going to work.
"Get in the car Seth, get in the car Marissa. We go to the train station!" Summer rushed them into the car.
"DRIVE COHEN!" Summer screamed.
"So your going to get him back?" Summer looked at her excited.
"If I can." Marissa was unsure. She wanted him back, but was she going about it right?
"Am I rushing him? Should I give him more time?" Marissa expressed her fears to her closest friend.
"No. Are you kidding? He'll need you more than ever. You can be like his knight in shining dress." Summer tried to reassure her.
"Alright. This is the right thing to do." Marissa was half reassuring herself.
