So I'm new to this entire thing. But I want to give it a shot. I'm going to try really hard to make this an okay story. Please let me know what you think even if you happen to just be brushing by this story. All that said I want to start this story right after the season 1 finale. However in this story Seth never left. This is three days after Ryan left for Chino.
Ryan was sitting in a purple waiting room. Theresa was inside getting tests and he was asked to wait outside. He was watching a couple that looked to be around 26. The man was rubbing her very pregnant stomach and talking to it while the woman giggled. They both had gold bands wrapped around their ring finger. The other fingers intertwined. While watching them Ryan imagined the woman being Marissa and he was the man, when Theresa tapped him on the shoulder. Theresa had apparently been standing there watching him watch the couple for a good five minutes.
Ryan– Woah you scared me.
Theresa– Yeah sorry you looked busy.
Ryan– No I was just… Zoneing out.
Theresa– Come on lets go for a walk.
Theresa leads him out of the doctors office and they head to the only park Chino had that wasn't covered in needles and cigarette butts.
Ryan– So the tests went ok?
Theresa– Yeah they went great. The baby is fine. The next time we could find out the sex.
Ryan– Oh. Do you want to?
Theresa– I don't know I might. So Ryan. Don't lie to me. But have you slept five minutes since you came here?
Ryan– Uh. Yeah I slept great last night.
Theresa– I said don't lie to me. I know you too well. And I walked past your room last night at two in the morning and the light was on.
Ryan– I've just been thinking. You don't need to worry about me. Its supposed to be the other way around here.
Theresa– The point is Ryan your not happy here.
Ryan– I am. And I'm here for you and the baby anyway.
Theresa– Have you called her?
Ryan– Kirsten? Not yet.
Theresa– Ryan you know who I'm talking about. Have you called Marissa yet?
Ryan– No we kind of agreed it was better this way.
Theresa– I want you to go back Ryan. Your miserable.
Ryan– I can't just leave you and the baby.
Theresa– You can visit whenever you want. I have my mom. I know you want to go back so do me the favor and go back. I want you to be happy. I will be fine.
Ryan– Are you really sure?
Theresa– Yes. Go get the only girl I've ever seen you love.
Ryan smiled.
Theresa– The Ryan Atwood I knew was never so whipped.
Ryan- Hey now. I'm not whipped.
Theresa– No your in love.
Ryan just looked at the ground and laughed.
Ryan– I've changed a lot.
Theresa– Yeah but the Newport Ryan Atwood is a lot happier.
They walked the rest of the way back to Theresa's and Ryan packed quickly but not too quickly as to seem mean. Theresa walked in and saw he was all packed up.
Theresa– Get out of here lover boy.
Ryan smiled and gave her a friendly hug.
Ryan– Sorry about all this. I will always be there for you and the baby and I plan on visiting.
Theresa– Its okay. And when you visit bring Marissa along for me.
Ryan smiled and headed out to catch a bus. He figured he wanted to surprise everyone. Meanwhile in Newport the Copper–Nichol clan was headed over to the Cohen's for a dinner. Marissa called Summer and convinced her to join them seeing as Marissa was still bummed about Ryan leaving, she knew she couldn't go there without Summer for support. Marissa drove her new Lexus over to pick up Summer. Julie was buying Marissa's love. Marissa concluded she was going to try to make the best out of the situation and get along with her mother. Summer and Marissa arrived at the Cohen's to see everyone setting the table.
Kirsten– Girls! Its great to see you. How have you been Marissa.
Summer snuck off to Seth's room after smiling at Marissa.
Marissa– Truthfully. I've been better.
Kirsten gave her a sympathetic smile and grabbed her into a hug.
Kirsten– We all miss him sweetie.
Marissa– Thanks Kirsten.
Kirsten– No problem honey. I think Summer and Seth are both in his room by now so why don't you go join them. The adults can set up the rest.
Marissa smiled thankfully and headed to Seth's room but only to find Seth and Summer making out.
Marissa– Oh shi. Sorry I get why this is so scaring now.
With that Marissa headed out. She went to the one place she knew she would end up. The pool house. Sitting on the bed, tears came to her eyes as all the memories rushed to her at once. Summer interrupted her thoughts however with a hug.
Summer– Sorry about that really. I'm so sorry. I'm here for you honey.
Marissa– I just miss him so much Sum.
With that the pool house door opened to reveal a black and blue Ryan.
