After season 3 Marissa has gone off to Mexico with Volchok instead of getting killed in a car crash

One day before graduation day, Volchok and Marissa have broken up because he cheated

on her with another woman on prom night. When Marissa told him its over, Volchok couldnt take no for an answer

and he still wanted her so the next day he went to see her at her place when Julie and Neil went out to dinner and Summer

stayed at the Cohens they were not at home at the time.Volchok went in and asked her if she

wanted to go to Mexico with him and Heather to give her another chance he warned her if she didn't go with him that

he will do anything to kill Ryan before he goe's, that made Marissa scared and so shepanicked, she told him that

she would go with him only if he promised to leave Ryan alone, she wanted to make sure Ryan was protected and safe and she also told Volchok

that she wanted everyone to think she's going to New York because she doesnt want everyone to worry about her so she and Volchok

kept it a secret from everyone for their sake, they are planning to leave that night after graduation day. Marissa and Ryan have broken up and they have

decided to stay good friends and move on with their lives and try to forget their past, can they or not?

On graduation day

At the Nichol-Cooper's place

Summer got out of the bathroom after finishing her makeup then walked towards her bedroom and saw Marissa sitting on her bed waiting for her

and Summer looked over at her and smiled at herself, thinking that Marissa was just a bit nervous for her big day !!

Summer: hey, I know you are very nervous about today right?

Summer looked confused and interrupted her

Summer: thinking about what?

Marissa: I dont know but I've got a lot on my mind I mean about moving to New York tonight, I'm going to miss you all
