Seth looked back at Ryan who sat in the back of the Rover with Allison. He
eyes immediately went back to the road in front of him. He swallowed
nervously, unsure of how he was going to explain this to his mother. It
wasn't like they could walk into the house with Allison unconscious in
Ryan's arms and say, 'oh we just went to Chino to crash a party where Ally
here was almost date raped.'
He heard Ally shift positions in the back seat.
Luke looked back at Ryan. "She's going to be ok, right?" Luke said filling the silence of the Range Rover.
Seth heard Ryan sniff and readjusted the rear view mirror to watch him. Ryan's eyes glistened in the dim of the streetlights overhead. He hastily wiped his eyes with his sleeve.
"Yeah, she'll be fine I think."
Seth licked his lips. "How are you doing?" It was weird seeing Ryan like that.
Ryan shrugged. "Ok." He laced his fingers with Allison's. "It just reminds me of Mexico and Marissa. All limp and not responding you know."
"Seth?" His mother called as he walked into the house. "Seth that better be you!"
"Yea, mom it's me, I'm home." He called out nervously.
His mother walked into the foyer; her eyes scanning him angrily. "Where have you and Ryan been?"
Seth took a deep breath. "I-max theatres again; someone thought Ryan was one of the people in the movie. He did have a striking resemblance to that guy." Seth said as he moved towards the stairs.
Kirsten looked questioningly at Seth. "I don't believe you. What was the movie about?"
Seth swallowed nervously. "What the movie was about . . . Some guy who went into the jungle with a chocolate bar, sneakers and a pocketknife and survived three months." Seth nodded and began to creep up the stairs.
Kirsten's eyebrows went up. "And you took Luke with you?"
"Luke?" Seth voice went up about three octaves. "Well after the shark week movie thing, we figured we should have someone to help out if the crowd goes crazy again."
"And Allison; where is she?"
"We picked her up on the way there and she fell asleep in the theatres." Seth explained away. "She's sleeping in the pool house with Ryan, where I will be sleeping because . . . we . . . are watching a James Bond marathon?"
"Then why are you going upstairs?" Kirsten asked making Seth stop in the middle of the staircase.
"Captain Oats!" Seth yelped the first thing that came to mind.
Kirsten shook her head. "What does Captain Oats have anything to do with a James Bond marathon?"
Seth bit his lip. "I promised Allison she could meet him." He nodded nervously. He felt like he was digging himself into a huge hole.
"But Ally is asleep."
Seth ran up the stairs and grabbed Captain Oats and ran down the stairs past his mother. "Stop asking questions mom! I feel like you don't trust me!"
As Seth ran out the back door Kirsten shook her head. "What if I don't trust you?"
Ryan sat on the couch looking at the ceiling. As his eyes fell towards his bed where Ally lie sleeping his mind reeled at the ideas of losing someone else he loved. First there was his dad, who left in the middle of the night. Then Trey was arrested, but it was mainly his fault that he never saw him. His mom was the hardest; just to watch her walk away from him. But if he had to live through the idea of Ally dying, it was kill him, inside out.
"I made it!" Seth announced breaking Ryan out of his depressing thoughts.
Ryan frowned. "As much as we all love the ever popular Captain Oats, what is he doing here?"
Seth brought the plastic horse to his chest. "Captain Oats takes offence to that."
"Why are we personifying a plastic horse that you have unusually named Captain Oats? Ryan asked; a smirk creeping onto his face.
Seth sat Captain Oats onto the table closest to him. "Has someone been playing attention in English class?" Seth said mockingly. "I would have thought you would have been in la-la land seeing Marissa is in that class."
Ryan began to smile, but was quickly interrupted by a panicked moan coming from his bed.
Seth watched Ryan as he swooped over Ally. Biting his lip; he turned the TV on.
Ryan turned to Seth looking confused.
"I told my mom we were watching a James Bond marathon." Seth said shrugging. "Dad has been talking about it for a while so it was the first thing that came to mind."
Ryan nodded and looked down at Ally she breathing had become calmer and smooth.
"How long do the drugs usually last?" Seth asked as he turned the volume down.
Ryan shrugged and walked over to the TV and sat on the floor with his back to the bed. "Depends on the strength and what was used and when she was given it."
Seth quickly sat beside him. "Oh. Well give me a span here; ballpark figure."
"Few hours to a day or so." Ryan replied in monotone looking back at the lump that was Ally.
Seth ran his fingers through his curly hair biting his lip on how they would explain to his mom if she didn't wake up for a few days. Sure Ally was a growing teen, but he couldn't use that excuse for more than a couple hours.
Marissa smiled as she walked to the pool house. The blinds were open this time and she saw a few bodies sprawled out across the floor. Seeing this time Ryan had company she figured he would be in a better mood than he was yesterday. The door opened smoothly and she quickly stepped over Seth's torso.
She knelt down and kissed Ryan's cheek. "Ryan? Wake up; its 10:00"
Ryan stirred and his eyes opened a crack. He moaned as the Californian sun streamed into his eyes. He quickly threw his arm over his eyes.
Seth turned over, rolling into Marissa's heels, making him yelp in pain and rub his arm.
"Those shoes are dangerous." He mumbled sleepily motioning at the pointy heel. "They could put an eye out."
Marissa grinned and got up, walking over to the bed. "That's your fault for sleeping on the floor." She gently shook Allison's body. Getting no response she tried again. "Ally? Allison; wake up." Marissa began to panic. "Allison!? Ryan; something is wrong with Allison."
Ryan immediately got up wrapping his arms around Marissa dragging her away from Allison's sleeping body. By now Marissa is in tears, confused, wondering why Ally wouldn't wake up.
Ryan quickly sat Marissa down on the couch and knelt down in front of her. "It's ok. Ally is just sleeping something off right now."
"Don't speak to me like a child Ryan! Tell me what is seriously going on!" Marissa yelled partially angrily; wiping away the tears that rolled down her face.
Seth got up and sat beside her. "Shhhh . . . we need you to be quiet. We don't want my parents to find out." Seth's eyes looked toward the house that was probably sleeping obliviously.
Marissa swallowed and looked over at Ally; nodding without a word, she griped Ryan's hands. "Ryan; tell me."
Kirsten looked over at the pool house with her coffee in hand.
"Good morning." Sandy whispered in her ear wrapping his arm around her waist and squeezing her tight.
Kirsten smiled and mumbled a good morning back, without her eyes straying from the pool house that glittered in the morning sun.
Sandy frowned. "What's wrong?"
Kirsten turned around to face him; leaning against the marble countertops. "The kids are up to something."
Sandy smiled and turned to the coffee pot; pouring himself a cup. "They're teens. It's in their nature to be up to something."
"Ryan and Seth were hanging out with Luke last night at the I-max theatre." Kirsten stated.
Sandy turned around with his face matching his wife's expression. "Luke; as in Marissa's ex-boyfriend?"
Kirsten nodded.
Sandy raised his eyebrows in surprise. "That's weird. I thought Ryan and him could stand to be in the same room without someone shedding blood."
Kirsten shrugged. "That's what I thought. And all of the kids slept in the pool house watching a James Bond marathon."
Sandy smiled. "It's about time Seth sat through a movie like that." He took a sip of his coffee. "I was getting very bored of sci-fi movies."
Kirsten frowned. "He brought Captain Oats with him."
"To the I-max theatre?" Sandy said choking on his coffee.
Kirsten shook her head. "No to the pool house. He never moves it from his room."
"Good. I thought I might have to have a little talk with him." Sandy said taking a deep breath.
"So she took drugs." Marissa said staring at Allison is shock.
Seth shook his head. "Not exactly, someone slipped drugs into her drink."
"We think." Ryan quickly added, agreeing with Seth's statement.
Marissa nodded soberly. "So when will she wake up?"
"We don't know." Ryan and Seth said together; their eyes locking for a second then shaking their heads.
"And Kirsten doesn't know." Marissa said quietly processing it all. "We should move her."
"What? Why?" Ryan said quickly sitting beside her.
Marissa rolled her eyes at him. "Well Kirsten could walk in here at anytime and find her. We'll move her to Summer's house. Her dad and her step-mom are on a vacation in Venice or something. No adults to find her, and you guys could just say that Summer, Ally and I are have a girl's weekend."
"Last time Ryan brought up a girl's day out she said something like she would rather carve something out of her earwax. I don't think she would be happy if we did that." Seth interjected.
Marissa rolled her eyes at Seth this time. "Well she can't really argue right now, can she?" She said gesturing at Allison who turned over.
