I think later on I might bring back more characters, like Lindsey, Alex, Zach, Anna, or Trey. I might do some experimenting with relationships, but I promise in the end it will be the "Fab Four" (Seth & Summer, Ryan & Marissa).
With Ryan
"Marissa?" Julie whispered, "Honey, are you okay?"
Marissa could barley feel her body, it felt num, she felt barley there. Her mother, Julie Cooper, soon to be Roberts- was sitting beside her hospital bed, looking lovingly and hopefully at her.
"M...o...m..?" Marissa moaned. She also felt a slight pounding inside her head.
"Oh God! Honey," Julie leaned in and Marissa felt the slight push of a hug. "I'm so glad your fine, I was so scared…"
"Wher…es…Ry…an…?"
"He's with Sandy," Julie said, "He promised he'd be back in an hour or so. Should I call him?" Julie asked, not waiting for a response to whip her cell out. "Hello Ryan? Yes, everything's fine- She's awake!"
"Tell…him…I…want to…see...h…I…m," Marissa pleaded, barley getting it out.
"Yes, that'd be great," Julie said, continuing to talk into her phone. She hung up and slipped in back in her pocket.
"He'll be here soon," she whispered to her daughter, "Do you need anything?" Marissa wagged her head slowly.
"Honey, look, I don't want you to worry, the doctor's say that in a couple of days you can go home. The surgery is done; you need your rest, so none of that partying you've been doing lately. I'm sure Ryan will stay with you; he could even stay at Neil's house, in a different room of course. And I'm sorry, but you've missed the boat with your dad…" Julie sighed. Marissa shrugged.
"Hey," Ryan entered, "How is she?" he sat down on the other side of her.
"I'm fine," she murmured. He grabbed her hand and held it comfortingly.
"Okay," Julie stood up, "I'm going yo go get coffee and call Neil, I'll be back." Julie took out her cell phone as she left the room.
"I'm gonna find Volchok," Ryan mumbled.
"No!" Marissa snapped, "Just stay away from him; I don't want you going near him…"
"Okay, okay," Ryan smiled, holding her hand tight, "I promise."
