Chapter 10: Sympathy

New York:

Marissa had even more bruises Ryan called a cab after making sure she had stopped crying he looked over at Nick who was in a very deep sleep probably because of all the alcohol. Ryan took Marissa and Sophie's stuff. Marissa still hadn't said a word she closed the door and Ryan already sat in the backseat of the cab Marissa joined him and he told the cab driver to go to Hotel Vincci Avalon he dropped them of and Ryan was going to see if they had a room available for him and Marissa although he knew they probably did he had been here many times before for some business trips and they knew him very well. Ryan checked in the penthouse and was greeted by the manager. They were shocked when they saw Marissa, Marissa felt uncomfortable immediately she just wanted to be invisible. Everyone was staring at her because they recognized her as Nick Steven's wife why would she be with another man one of the sexiest bachelors of the U.S. The paparazzi loved to follow Ryan he was head of a multi-million company, but they hadn't followed him in a while and Ryan liked it better that way. All the girls were staring at Ryan and when he gave them a smile they melted normally the boys would do the exact same thing when Marissa smiled at them or even looked at them but now they felt really sorry for her. Marissa saw the sympathy and disgust in people's eyes and she could feel her eyes become watery. Ryan immediately noticed and he put his hand on the small of her back and guided her to the lift. Once in side Marissa let the tears slip still not making a sound. Ryan could feel his heartbreak when he looked at her.

Ryan: Are you okay?

Marissa: I'm sorry I didn't know he was going to be there.

Marissa said even more tears were streaming down her once beautiful face but now it was covered with cuts and bruises.

Ryan: You have nothing to be sorry for okay.

Marissa just nodded.

Ryan: Maybe we should get you to the hospital and check you out.

Marissa: No it's okay.

Ryan: Well then at least go soak in a hot bath I'll call room service and let them bring something up.

Marissa: Okay.

Marissa hated this she could also feel Ryan's sympathy she didn't want to be the girl she was when she was 16 the one that always needed help and couldn't take care of her self.

Marissa: Ryan you don't have to take care of me you know; I am a grown woman.

Ryan: I know but I want to. Now go…chop chop.

Ryan offered Marissa a small smile and she returned one immediately.

Marissa walked out of the room and to the bathroom, she slid of her dress and when she looked in the mirror she even scared her self she looked so bad her face wasn't even that bad. She could see a bruise on her stomach she just hoped that nothing was wrong with the baby her stomach didn't hurt that much. It were her legs and her face that were giving her so much pain. She did what Ryan told her to do and when she was finished she looked much better of course you could still see her bruises but she looked more relaxed. She was really pleased Ryan had told her he was going with her whether she wanted it or not. If he hadn't come with her she would probably be… she stopped herself thinking about that. She came out of the bathroom with a robe on Ryan looked at her and he had ordered some dessert some Ice cream, some chocolate mousse and strawberries she had to admit it looked delicious.

Ryan: And? Did it work?

Marissa: Yeah it did thanks…for everything you probably hate me; you had such a good life before I came I messed everything up again.

Ryan: Hey hey don't ever say that again you didn't mess anything up.

Ryan cupped Marissa's face and their noses grazed for a few minutes but it felt like for ever.

Ryan: So do you want to watch a movie?

Marissa: Yeah I'd love to.

Ryan: I ordered some dessert I knew you liked this when we were younger I don't know if you still do?

Marissa: I still love all three of them thanks.

Marissa and Ryan watched the movie they occasionally looked up at each other and smiled. They were feeling more and more comfortable with the minute.

Ryan: So uhm it's getting kind of late maybe we should try to get some sleep our plane leaves in the afternoon but still.

Marissa: You know sleeping sounds great I can't wait to sleep at that king sized bed.

Ryan: Well I'll sleep on the couch.

Marissa: Why don't you come and sleep with me I mean it's big enough.

Ryan: That's true you sure you don't mind.

Marissa: I'm sure.

Ryan and Marissa were laying in the king sized bed they both thought of the events that they had been through that day and Marissa was scared she lay herself closer to Ryan's side and without saying anything she pulled his arms around her. He held her close to him and they both fell in a deep sleep.

It was in the middle of the night Marissa woke up she felt that something was wet Ryan didn't have a wet dream did he? Marissa felt her stomach ache and she woke Ryan up he also felt the wetness he put the lights on and they immediately saw it was something else.

It's a little cliffy I hope you liked it:) Review pleasssssseeeee!
