I know it's been unbelievably long since I posted an update and I'm sorry, very very sorry yet I know that's not going to cut it but I still have a new chapter for you and I'm hoping you will still review, and I want to thank any and everyone who is still reading this story!
Okay seeing as I haven't updated in only God knows how long I think some of you might need a recap. Okay so this is what happened:
Marissa and Ryan are in limbo, Ryan is trying to figure out what to do with his life, does he want to hang onto the past or does he want a future? Marissa is in the whole post-psycho code green ordeal and she's dealing with Ryan and her feelings for him. Summer and Seth are not on speaking terms, Summer likes him but Seth makes it clear that there is nothing there. Or is there? Read and find out!
Love Noor! Also I want to thank Kyle very much for his idea which made this chapter!
Chapter 12: Love will come through
When did everything get so complicated? Why was love so damn hard and why couldn't you let your sweaters touch your shirts? The answer it was simple; there was no answer to all these questions. Why did we still ask ourselves questions there were no answers to was the biggest one of all?
The bell rang throughout the entire house, Summer listened to it intently and got up from the couch she walked passed the kitchen where Taylor was singing a song and baking cookies, or something that looked like that, she soon found Taylor standing behind her as she was about to open the door, the boil in her hand as she was mixing the dough.
Summer opened the door slowly and saw Ryan Cohen standing in front of her with a tired smile on his face, Ryan Cohen, as in Dr. Cohen head of neurology, as in her boss, and the brother of her possible crush. Summer smiled politely at him and waited for him to speak.
'Hi' he said and she greeted him back opening the door a little more for him to come in, while she opened the door for the gorgeous man she bumped into Taylor in the process, Summer turned her head at her somewhat annoyed and was even more aggravated when she saw Taylor drooling over Ryan and looking star struck, like she had just met Brad Pitt or Al Pacino, she shook her head at her and knew she was going to have to do the talking.
'Can I help you?' Summer asked as politely as she could she didn't want to scare him away but she also didn't want him to upset Marissa even more. She didn't exactly know what the deal was between Ryan and Marissa but ever since the whole hostage situation things had been weird. Ryan shifted his gaze nervously to the stairs he didn't know if Marissa was home yet somehow he hoped she wasn't.
'Uhm is Marissa home?' he still asked and before Summer could answer Taylor butt in, she took a step in front of Summer and blocked her out while doing so, she smiled at Ryan rather seductively, Ryan looked at the light headed brunette who was beaming up at him.
'Actually Marissa is a sleep in her room but you could always wait for her until she wakes up, I was just cooking some dinner if you want some there's enough for you, you could stay and eat something, Dr…I mean Ryan.' Taylor said shrugging her shoulders sweetly as if she was a teenage schoolgirl.
Ryan looked at her uneasily, she seemed to like him very much and he was not the only one who noticed because when he looked at Summer she was about to snap, and he was sure she was fuming, he ignored Taylor's request but thanked her for the offer, Ryan averted his eyes from Taylor's to Summer's a clear indication that he wanted to talk to her.
'Hey Summer can you give this to Marissa.' Ryan asked as he handed her a big brown envelope, Summer took it in her hands a little confused but still didn't say a word, Ryan thanked her and smiled appreciatively at the petit brunette, he didn't even really know her but still she seemed nice and her and Marissa seemed to be the only ones who really got along, from all the interns.
Ryan turned away from the two dazed women both were dazed for different reasons, he closed the door behind him and got into his range rover he looked at the house and saw Summer make her way up the stairs, he smiled knowingly, this was the moment she would know, and he didn't know how she was going to take it. Ryan shook his head as if he was trying to rid himself of his nervousness, he started the engine and drove of.
As Summer made her way up the stairs without saying anything to Taylor she felt her heart beat faster, what if this envelope contained some very bad news about Ryan and Marissa, something that would push Marissa of the edge certainly.
'Hey Coop?' Summer asked as she opened the door to her bestfriend's room, Marissa looked up from where she was lying and gave Summer a small sad smile which made Summer walk up to her as fast as her little legs could carry her, she sat down next to Marissa and held her in her arms.
That's when they started to come down again the tears she had so desperately pushed away finally came pouring out, she cried and cried and Summer comforted her forgetting why she had come to her room in the first place, after some time of shushing Marissa and comforting her she lay down next to her and they stared up at the ceiling in silence.
'God I'm being such a girl…' Marissa said finally after what seemed like a silence that lasted forever, Summer chuckled upon hearing Marissa and heard a sweet laugh escape Marissa's mouth a laugh she had been praying for.
'I didn't even know him that long, how can I be so head over heels in love?' she asked Summer who grew quiet, the truth was the feisty brunette didn't know the answer to that question because if she did she would have prevented ever feeling this way about the curly brunette with his sarcastic comments and lame jokes which were actually quite funny, if she had known she'd never gotten too close to him.
'I honestly don't know Coop.' Summer told her bestfriend, who she had gotten attached to as well in a small period of time, it was just that Summer never had bestfriends at school, she had always been the queen bee, always the social one, popular one with what people assumed lots of friends but they were never her friends. They were all friends with benefits, the girls were friends because then they could get popular too and go shopping with her whenever they wanted and the boys were friends with her because they could get into her pants.
Summer never really had friends and Marissa made up for all the lack there, she was the best friend you could imagine to have, yes she had her drama and her crap, but didn't we all, she listened to Summer whenever she wanted to ramble and laughed at her jokes even though they weren't always funny, they sang along to Stacie Orico together and most important of all they could lean on each other.
There friendship had gotten so serious and strong in such a short amount of time it was scary really, how could you befriend someone who was as different from you as the day was from the night, but they were friends and they were there for one another and what Summer didn't know yet was that not only could she read Marissa like an open book, but Marissa could do the exact same thing to her.
'So how goes things with you and McFunny?' Marissa asked, she knew Summer had a thing for Seth and it had been funny to see her try to hide it although she had been doing a very poor job at it, it had been fun to see it from afar but now after seeing her she knew she had to ask Summer about it, that's what bestfriends do right.
'McFunny, I really don't know what you're talking about…' Summer tried to dismiss Marissa's question which in turn only got her a raised eyebrow from the stunning blonde who smirked at her.
'Ugh God when did we get so hung up on guys and let them rule our lives.' The brunette asked when she realised that there was no use in denying anything.
'I think it was the minute our braces came off.' Marissa said and shook her head while laughing along with her friend, suddenly all the drama and the heart ache was forgotten they were just enjoying themselves, talking to one another feeling carefree and it was fun, until Summer realised why she had been here in the first place and she knew she couldn't hold out on Marissa any longer.
'Ryan came by earlier and uhm…' Summer began as she reached across the bed to grab the big brown envelope again she handed it over to Marissa who looked beyond puzzled right now '…he wanted me to give this to you.' she added and waited for Marissa to rip it open.
She looked at it and breathed in deeply there was nothing more Marissa wanted than to rip this envelope open and read it's contents but she had to brace herself before she did, what was it anyway, a letter…? Slowly Marissa's thing long fingers opened the brown envelope and she looked inside it, Summer held her breath when she saw Marissa pull out a long blue A4 paper she released it and held it again.
Marissa read the papers and immediately tears sprang to her green eyes, Summer immediately kicked herself in the head mentally for giving it to Marissa but soon a smile adjoined the unshed tears on Marissa's face and it made Summer wonder.
'He signed…' she said and locked eyes with the brunette, her own smile grew bigger when the realisation started to sink in.
'He chose me, he signed the divorce papers.' She said and was now hugging the living daylights out of Summer while laughing out of pure bliss as she did so, she couldn't believe he actually signed the papers, that he actually wanted her too, but she better believe it because the signs were here, he did choose her.
Summer finally got out of her semi-coma and laughed along with her friend, she needed this and she finally got what she deserved, Summer pulled back and kissed Marissa on her cheek, she shook her head and got off her bed.
'Well what are you waiting for Coop get your ass out of your bed and go get him!' she yelled and before she could yell some more Marissa was already skipping down the stairs holding her car keys in her left hand and the papers in her right hand, yelling a quick 'I love you too Sum' while she was running to the door and as fast as she the words escaped her mouth the door closed behind her.
Summer slowly walked down the stairs smiling all the while and watching her friend make such a dramatic change emotionally she watched her contently and shook her head when she heard her yell just as she was getting into her car.

Knocking, unbelievably loud knocking could be heard throughout his apartment; Ryan quickly turned of his shower and ran towards his front door with a towel loosely hanging around his toned waist. He opened the door only to see her with a smile on her face that could light up an entire room and tears which were glistening due to the moonlight.
'Hey…' he said and before Marissa could reply with her own greeting he continued. 'I know that it might be too late, but just so you know I wanted to be with you from the start it was just too hard to let go of something you had known for so long, to be out there again, putting yourselves out there…I want to be with you…and' before he could continue her lips collided with his.
They stumbled through his very well sized apartment neither one breaking the kiss as Marissa let go of all the contents in both hands Ryan's hand securely locked on the back of her head and the other held the small of her back. When air became an issue both pulled away breathing heavily while their eyes locked with one another, they didn't say a thing they just stared at each other.
Marissa leaned in yet again, her forehead touched his and their eyes were still upon each other, their lips almost touched and their breaths became one when Marissa whispered 'I want to be with you too', Ryan couldn't take the distance anymore and locked his lips with hers, his tongue begging for entrance which Marissa gladly gave him as she opened her mouth slightly.
Marissa got rid of her clothes with a lot of help from Ryan and his towel was long forgotten, he held by her waist and her long legs locked around his as he walked them to his bedroom and laid her down on his king sized bed upon the satin sheets that felt cold against her naked skin making her shiver ever so lightly.
'I think I'm starting to fall in love with you…' Marissa said as he hovered above her.
'I think we're way passed that now.' Ryan said while leaning in to kiss her soft lips his hands travelled down her beautiful beauty and he stopped a second when he saw a big bruise on her thigh, the memory of the day came back to him, he gave her that bruise when he pinned her down on the floor to try and safe her his eyes travelled back to hers and she had tears in her eyes making Ryan smile sadly at her.
He kissed each eye and then travelled down to kiss her thigh, he was being tender and loving and every single time he touched her regardless to where or how she shivered and her heart beat quickened, needless to say Ryan felt the same way.
He entered her slowly and their eyes stayed locked on one another both never wanting to look away, this moment was more than special it was everything they had been waiting for, sure they had sex before but this was so much more and how clichéd it sounded they both felt that they weren't having sex, they were making love undeniable sweet rhythmic love.
Both blondes moved in sync, holding onto each other while filling up each others wants and needs their lips locked their noses grazed, their foreheads touched, their hands intertwined, their heartbeats quickened, their breaths caught in their throat and something special happened that night, their souls became one.
Ryan collapsed on top of Marissa breathing in heavily he was sweating as was Marissa, she could still feel him inside her and it made her feel complete, whole even. They stayed that way with Ryan feeling as if he was crushing her and Marissa wanting him to crush her some more, they stayed that way until his beeper rang loudly through out his room, after some beeps Ryan got up and shot Marissa an apologetic look while he went into the living room.
'It's a 911 I've got to…' before Ryan could finish his sentence Marissa's beeper began beeping as well just as loud as Ryan's had just done, she ran to his living room and retrieved her beeper out of the back pocket of her dark faded skinny's.
'What do you know 911.' Marissa said while smiling half heartedly both adults went to grab their clothes and met up in Ryan's living room when they were done, Ryan grabbed both of them a cup of coffee and handed Marissa one she was about to grab it when he leaned in and kissed her on her lips hard. She smiled into the kiss and laughed when he pulled away finally getting her coffee and taking a sip they were both walking out of his house.
Ryan heard his phone ring and handed Marissa his keys telling her to wait for him in his car he walked towards his phone as quick as possible hoping it wasn't the hospital asking where he was, when he saw it was the hospital he sighed and braced himself for apologizing.
'Ryan!' asked a frantic Summer after he greeted whoever called him, Ryan however never expected it to be Summer and was confused to say the least as to why she was calling him.
'Summer are you okay?' he asked and before he could ask some more she was yelling and panicking.
'No I'm not okay…listen to me Ryan Marissa can not come to the hospital…' she told Ryan and once again left him confused.
'Why?'
'Because the 911 was for her mother Ryan.' She yelled and he was sure he could hear her sniffle.
'Hey Ry are you coming?' Marissa asked as she stood in his doorway and smiled at him his broke immediately broke for her, he heard Summer on the other end of the line and didn't know what he was supposed to do.
'Ryan whatever you do, do not let Marissa in this hospital this will break her!' she yelled and with that she put the phone back on its holder breathing in heavily she braced herself for going back and prayed to God Ryan was a good liar who she would know wasn't if she talked to his brother.
The answer is simple really, we're human we need to know we can't be left in the not known, that's why Einstein was world's famoust scientist he gave us answers to what we did not have answers too, and we are still hoping that one of these days we can answers questions that are important to us, there was one question I was going to ask myself one of these days I just didn't know it yet was; 'Why do people think they're protecting you when they lie?'
Okay that was a little cliffhanger! Leave me a review! Pretty please:D
