Hey, this is my first "OC" Fanfiction. I am a huge fan of The O.C. my favorite characters are Ryan and Marissa mostly. I have a lot of fanfics started, but none of them expect for this one is complete. Anyway, I do not own Ryan and Marissa or any of the other characters in this story they belong to the creators themselves…. I am just writing for fun, I hope you enjoy my story as much as I enjoyed writing it. Please leave comments. J
Jimmy and Julie were on their honeymoon after getting re-married and won't be back for another four days. Meanwhile, their daughter Marissa will be staying with her lovely boyfriend, Ryan at the Cohen's. It was Friday night at one-thirty AM when Ryan awoke, looked over to find that Marissa was not on the other side of him were she had fallen asleep a couple of hours before. He quietly got up, walked over and knocked on the bathroom door. "Marissa", he said quietly. He received no reply, so he called again. "Marissa, are you okay", he received no response. He gently opened the door to the bathroom and found Marissa curled up in a ball whimpering on the floor. He pushed the door open a little further, went in and sat on the floor beside her. He sat with her for a few minutes with her head in his lap, pulling the strands of her out of her face. That is when he realized that she was burning up. "I'll be right back, okay", he whispered into her ear, all she could do was nod in response. Ryan went into the kitchen and to his surprise Kirsten was up and walking around the house. "Hi, Ryan, what are you doing up at this hour?" "Marissa's sick, I think she has a fever or something". At this point Kirsten was no longer asking questions she was totally in 'mom mode' she told Ryan to go check on Marissa and she would be there in a minute. As Ryan went into the poolhouse Marissa was coming out of the bathroom. Ryan saw how unsteady she was on her feet, ran to her side and helped her back into bed. When Marissa was finally settled back into bed is when Kirsten came in to check her temperature. She had a temperature of one hundred and four. "Did you get sick at all Marissa?", asked Kirsten. She nodded her head and said that she got sick twice within the hour. "Alright, you get some rest and I'll be back to check on you later. Ryan, why don't you sleep on the couch", said Kirsten. "I want Ryan to stay here with me, if that's okay", replied Marissa with a pleading look. Ryan said that he was right there with her and wasn't going anywhere. As Kirsten left the poolhouse, Ryan got in bed next to Marissa. Marissa put her head lightly on Ryan's chest and they both dozed off in a matter of seconds.
