In that span of time ...
The Cohens confide in each other.
Marissa develops an appetite for pancakes.
Summer turns out to be actually a great person and is their for Marissa.
She worries about her and hopes Seth would come back too because she knows Seth is the only one that can make Marissa happy again.
Hospital
A nurse is carrying a chart with her. She walks into Seths room to find to her surprise that no one is there. She checks the bathroom but he's not there either. She runs out of the room to alert the doctor.
Marissa Room
It is dark.
Marissas window is open a breeze blows in from it.
Seth wearing all black is standing right beside her bed as she sleeps. He appears to be back to his usual self. Infact he looks better than he ever has. He looks down at her. He talks to her.
Seth - I heard you calling out to me. Thank you. You never given up on me. Not once. I have something for you. I got it a while ago and been holding it ever since. I thought you might like to have it.
Seth takes out Marissa share bear hiding behind his back.
Seth - Your right. I do care about you. I know you were worried about me. But the truth is ... You never had to be. You've always been the only one for me.
He takes a seat at the edge of her bed and looks at her.
Seth - Marissa ...
His eyes get watery.
He leans down and whisphers something in her ear.
Seth - I love you.
He bends down and kisses her. His lips softly touching hers. The emotion over comes him. Droplets trickle down his eyes and he wipes them away with his sleeves. He brushes some of the hairs gently away from her face and goes to place share bear in her arms when to his surprise he finds captain oats already cuddled in her arms.
He talks to him.
Seth - Don't get any ideas okay? She's all mine.
He lifts up one of Marissas arms slowly and places share bear their. He then covers Marissa up and walks back over to her window. It is starting to get lighter. He can see the sun coming up from the horizon. It's radiant orange glow shines threw the window.
He stares at it for a few moments and notices something he didn't before. His jacket collar is up. He fixes it just like Marissa did for him. He talks to her again.
Seth - I'm not going anywhere. When you wake up come find me.
He hops out of her window and leaves.
As soon as that happens Marissa wakes up ...
She was pretending the entire time and heard everything he said. She holds her chest and tries to catch her breath. She looks down at her share bear , squeezes it and starts to melt. She thinks of Seth and rushes to her window. She looks down and can see Seth staring at a cat on the side walk.
She thinks to herself.
Marissa - (thoughts) Look up Seth. There's something I want to tell you.
But he never does.
She starts to panick.
Marissa - How can I tell him.
She gets an idea.
She goes over to her dresser and pulls out the Side Kick 3 Seth bought her for her birthday. She types something in. Outside Seth is ready to ride home on his skateboard when he hears a beeping noise coming from his pocket. He realizes it is a message and goes to check it out. He flips it open and sees that it's from Marissa. He reads it.
To: The Ironist
From: Cosmo Girl
I love you too ...
Welcome Back!
Seth flips it shut, looks down at it, and smiles. He is ready to go up to see her again when he sees his mom and dad waiting for him in front of the house he rides to them. Sandy is smiling. Kirsten is crying. He hears a noise, looks to the side and is surprise to see Marissa charging him.
The email worked.
It gave her enough time to catch him.
Marissa- Seth!
She runs over to him and hugs him.
Seth embraces her.
She falls to the ground and Seth holds her.
Marissa - You can't do that okay? You can't do stupid things like that! I can't lose you! I won't!
She cries.
Seth hugs her.
He closes his eyes.
Seth - I'm sorry.
Sandy puts his arms around Kirsten and they watch the scene.
The next few scenes show Marissa and Seth on their first date.
They get their pictures taken at a photo booth. Some posing, some silly. They then have a Spaghetti meal at a Marissa house and get more Spaghetti on each other than in their mouths. They then stop off at the mall for a whole new wardrobe. During the trip Seth shoves Marissa into a nearby fountain but she grabs him and pulls him in as well.
There they stand in front of many customers splashing water on each other until a security guard comes and shows them the way out. Standing outside the mall in the hot sun they start to laugh and look at each other. Marissa whips her wet hair at him. Seth gets sprayed in the face. He wipes his eyes.
Seth - Thanks for that.
Marissa - No problem. So, what do we do now?
Seth - I wanna make a stop.
They do make the stop but we don't see where to.
Instead we see them later at night getting ice cream.
Seth walks Marissa home.
Marissa- How is she?
Seth is holding a bag and looks down into it.
Seth - She's fine. I gave her some food.
Marissa - She's cute. I'm sure she's gonna love her. Well I'm gonna go.
They kiss each other goodnight.
Marissa walks away and Seth walks away opposite her.
Marissa suddenly stops.
She thinks about how she almost lost him before and how she doesn't want to lose him again.
She decides to tell him how she feels.
Marissa - I love you ... Seth.
After a few minutes he doesn't respond.
She turns around and sees that he's looking at her blushing.
Marissa - Your blushing!
Seth stops, turns around and starts walking away from her.
Marissa - Don't you have anything to say to me?
Seth turns around and sincerly says.
Seth - I love you too.
Seth walks away.
Marissa watches him, smiles and leaves.
Seth doesn't stop at his house. Instead he walks a few blocks until he comes to another house. He knocks on the door. Morgans mom answers it.
Morgans Mom - Hi! I'm Sarah.
she turns inside.
Sarah - Morgan, look theres someone here to see you.
Morgan walks over to the door and sees Seth standing there.
Morgan - Seth!!
She runs to him.
Seth holds out a gray kitten.
Morgan stops, her brown eyes suddenly go wide in surprise.
Seth - Her names Sharon. I wanted you to have her.
Morgan holds the kitten for a few minutes then runs over and gives Seth a big hug.
He hugs her back and pats her brown hair.
Seth - Now don't go running into anymore streets.
Morgan - Okay.
Seth - I'll come see you once and a while.
Morgan - You promise?
Seth - I promise.
She kisses him on the cheek and runs back into her house.
Last Scene
Seth arrives back at his home. He goes up to his room and turns the light on. He goes under his bed and pulls out what appears to be a book. He stands up, sits on the bed, flips to the back and starts to draw his complete date with Marissa.
With a closer look ...
The book almost appears as though it is a journal. Daily events are recorded by Seth which chronicles his relationship with Marissa and their times together. Their are also pictures of the two together on every page showing the events taking place. Showing their road through life.
When Seth is finished he flips back to the cover.
On the cover Seth and Marissa are sitting on a hill surrounded by grass. A tall tree is to the right. Marissa is sitting in the middle of Seth. Her head laying against his chest, Seth has his arms around her.
The city is shown in full view in front of them.
A bright sun shines to the left of it.
Seth and Marissa are looking out to it.
What Ever Comes Their Way ...
Whatever Life Brings ...
They'll Deal With It The Only Way They Know How ...
Together.
Seth finally decides on a title for the book and labels it.
