Chapter 4:

"Oh God! how did this happen? I mean I know how it happened but how did it...Oh gosh! what are we going to do Marissa? I mean what will happen with Ryan and Summer when they find out! Did this happen when we, we, you and your Dad stayed in Santa Monica with us for the resturaunt deal?" Seth kept saying over and over,in shock of what happened.

"Yeah, and Ryan and I weren't going out and Summer and you weren't together andIand I...Oh my gawd... I cant believe this is happening!"

"But we were careful, we used protection though!...I can't believe this!...I mean...Marissa, we'll get through this OK? I will help you! We gotta tell my parents when they get home though. They will know what to do. I mean yeah of course they'll freak out but it will get better I promise"

"NO it can't get better! Are you CRAZY! It's bad enough I'm the pregnant teen in Newport but to have it be my boyfriend's BEST friend's?I love Ryan and you love Summer. She's my best friend and he is like your brother."

"Yeah...But...why did we even do it in the first place?"

"We were alone in my motel room, I was suffering from a hangover, you came to my rescue withAdvil and water. And we were both pretty lonely..." Marissa started to cry uncontrollably. Seth leaned towards her and put his arm around her.

They stayed like for a long while. Marissa got tired and then so did Seth and eventually, they both fell asleep. Until a car horn and headlights in the driveway woke them up. Sandy, Kirsten and Ryan were home. Ryan walked in through the door first.

"Hey Seth, I saw Marissa's car in the driveway, is she ...?" Ryan trailed off as he saw both Seth and Marissa asleep together on the couch. "Marissa? what are you two doing!"
