Ryan sat on his bed, resting his head in his hands. The day's events running a continuous loop through his mind. He couldn't believe how much could happen in one day. That morning he had a girlfriend, and now, well lets just say there was a big possibility that Ryan would be flying solo. After all, he did beat up one of Marissa's good friends. Even if she did forgive him, it would take a long time for him to regain her trust.
"Jesus Christ, Atwood." Ryan said to himself. So many people have betrayed Marissa. Her ex-boyfriend, her parents, and now him. She didn't need this. She didn't need him getting jealous and beating up everyone he didn't like. Marissa would be better off without him. Ever since he came into town she seemed to be getting into a lot of trouble. He should just end things with her.
But Ryan loved Marissa. She was the first person that he really cared about. He felt at ease in her presence, felt safe. Ryan wasn't a man of many words, he was just a quiet guy, but when he was with Marissa the words just flowed out of him. He loved that he could just be Ryan Atwood with her. He didn't need to be some rich kid, or a great athlete, or really funny.
"And you repay her by attacking her friend?" He couldn't help it though. Oliver was absolutely mad. He was obsessed with his girlfriend. The kid transferred to her high school and tried to be "bestest" friends with all her friends (besides Ryan), and Ryan was pretty damn sure that he faked a suicide attempt just to get her attention.
Ryan tried to tell Marissa about Oliver, but she wouldn't hear it. She wanted to believe that her new friend was a good person, not a crazed lunatic, and when Marissa made up her mind about something there was really no changing it.
Ryan laid back onto his bed, staring at the ceiling. Wondering how to solve his problems. He would try apologizing to her, but he was pretty sure that, "I'm sorry I tried to kill your friend, I thought he was crazy," wouldn't go over too well with Marissa.
Just then there was a knock on the pool house door and Seth walked in. "Hey buddy, contemplating life are we?" Seth sat on the edge of the bed as Ryan sat up.
"I was just thinking about I messed things up with."
Seth held up his hands, stopping Ryan. "No need to explain things to me. I just wanted to know if you wanted to join me in a little play station action, you know, to relieve stress."
Ryan considered this. He could sit in the pool house brooding or play a video game with Seth. It was a easy answer. "Yeah, sure."
Right as Ryan was getting up the phone started to ring. Seth started to walk over to the phone. "The parentals have already retired to their bedroom, so I better get that."
Seth picked up the phone. "Pool house, home of the incredible Sulk."
Ryan smiled at Seth, that kid always knew how to lighten the mood.
Seth on the other hand looked a little worried. He put his had over the mouthpiece of the phone and looked at Ryan. "Its Marissa, she sounds really upset."
Ryan sighed as Seth handed him the phone. She was probably calling to break up with him, and he couldn't blame her. "Hello?"
"Ryan, is that you?" Came Marissa's voice that was little above a whisper.
"Yeah, its me. Why are you whispering? Is everything Ok?"
He could hear Marissa breathing heavily on the other end of the line. "I'm at Oliver's. I just wanted to see him to make sure he was ok, and he has been acting really weird, and he's scaring me."
Anger was already building up in Ryan. "Is he there right now, can he hear you?"
"No, he went in the kitchen to get something. He doesn't know that I'm calling you. Do you think you can come get me. I'm afraid that I leave he will do something irrational."
Ryan found his tennis shoes and put them on as he talked to Marissa. "Yeah, I'm on my way." Ryan heard Marissa sigh in relief. "And Marissa,"
"Yeah?"
"Don't worry, everything will be fine. I love you."
Seth gave a little face at hearing the "oh so tough" Ryan say I love you to his girlfriend.
Ryan chose to ignore this and pay attention to his girlfriend.
"I love you too." She said just before hanging up.
"What was that about?" Seth inquired.
"Marissa's in trouble, I don't have time to explain. I need to use the car though."
Seth nodded his head. "Yeah, ok. Do you want me to go with?"
Ryan shook his head no. "Yeah, sure, its fine. We need to go now."
"No prob."
"All right, lets go." And with that Ryan ran outside the pool house, Seth following..
