Hey guys…I'm writing a new story.. Its present time…focuses mostly on my couple (R/M), with some Fantastic Four moments in the mix. See how it goes…if you like it, please review!
Chapter One: Ryan's Confusion
"We're from different worlds…"
"…That's not true."
Ryan stirred awake in bed…those words echoing in his ears. Sun streamed through the glass doors and shades of the pool house, into his sleepy blue eyes. He rolled over onto his back and sat there for a few minutes…staring at the ceiling…slipping slowly into madness.
"I'm not like you…go."
His words kept playing over and over. Events revisiting his mind…twisting his thoughts and breaking his heart more and more. What'd he do? He and Marissa were done…again, and Ryan tried so hard to move on with Sadie…trying to make her his new priority and have fun with her instead of always having to worry while in a relationship. He had to worry about Eddie and Chino with Theresa, Caleb being a jerk to Lindsay and deciding whether she was a girlfriend or aunt to him, and with Marissa…well what didn't he worry about with her?
Sadie seemed so simple. She didn't judge Ryan off the bat and he liked that about her. But there were still some things that Ryan couldn't resolve…the fact that he hadn't spoken to Marissa in days, she hadn't come to his birthday party, and now how Summer was coming to him saying she was worried about her best friend's behavior.
Everything was too up in the air. What was Sadie to him? How long would she even stay in Newport? What was going on with Marissa that Summer was so worried about…or couldn't handle on her own? Ryan laid there for what seemed like forever and just thought about what was happening in his life. He was 18 now. He was a senior in his second semester. College time was fast approaching.
Every one and everything he knew in Newport would be leaving him soon. Seth and Summer were most likely off to the East coast...and Marissa…well he didn't even know. A world filled of new people with new emotions and lifestyles would be spilling into his normal routine, and to be honest…he was scared. He would be the outsider again…and he wouldn't have Marissa there to pull him back and make him feel better. He didn't think he could leave that behind. His comfort…his safety….even if it was always him doing the saving in the relationship anyway.
They had never officially talked about college plans. Just the fact that they were going and both applied to Berkeley. Ryan didn't know where else she had applied…if she even wanted to go to school with him anymore after everything that happened. A break up of theirs was never this hard. Never this awkward. Never this…real.
Ryan sat up in bed, ran his hands over his face and through his hair…looking around the pool house aimlessly. What was he going to do until college? He and Sadie hadn't talked about it. He couldn't open up to her about what was bothering him…not yet. Everything was still new. Why lay foundations of pressure when they weren't needed yet? Ryan knew he needed to do something soon. He needed to decide what he wanted. And more importantly…who he wanted.
The first few chapters are short. Mostly just introductory. But as it goes on they get longer and longer. No worries.
