Chapter 15: "And now your caught in the ruse of the world" 2

Ryan and Marissa sat all day, sometimes talking, sometimes just enjoying each other silent company. Despite their calm collected appearance, there was a cloud looming over both their heads. Marissa was going to go into a recovery center, but it was still up in the air how long.

Ryan and Marissa were chatting when Seth, Summer, and Dylan came in.

"Hey hon." Dylan said stepping in the room.

"Hey guys." Marissa said in a cheery voice, "Come on in." She said waving her hand.

Summer and Dylan squeezed onto the bed with Marissa and Seth leaned up against the wall that Ryan was sitting in. Summer and Dylan immediately noticed the bandages going up Marissas wrists.

"What happened there?" Summer asked, earning a shove in the rib from Dylan.

"Oh, nothing." Marissa said

Truth be told, Marissa had a couple scars in her arms that kept on opening back up, and so when she went to the hospital, and the doctors found them they made her get stitches.

"So do they have names yet?" Dylan asked

Ryan and Marissa grinned at one another. At that moment Kirsten and Sandy walked in.

"Good timing, they were about to tell us their names." Summer said anxiously.

"What are their names." Kirsten said

"I already know." Seth teased.

"How do you know?" Sandy said

"We needed him to run an errand for us." Marissa said

"Alright, don't keep us in suspense any longer." Kirsten said.

"You have to understand that you are all really important to us." Ryan began

"Yeah and so we gave them a little bit of you." Marissa continued. "There is Piper-Dylan Summer Atwood."

Dylan and Summer grinned uncontrollably at the mention of their names.

"And the other, named by me might I add, is Madison-Seth Kirsten Atwood."

A tear came to Kirstens eye at the mention of her name. Seth smiled because her was still basking in the glory of knowing the girls names before everyone else.

"And wait a minute Mr. Cohen." Marissa said grinning.

"Oh god, tell me it wasn't really triplets." Sandy muttered.

"I would like to introduce to you." Seth pulled a bag out from behind his back containing a fish. "Sandy Atwood!"

Everyone laughed. Ryan nudged Seth.

"Um Seth man."

"Yeah?" Seth said

"Um, . the fish, . it's kinda not moving. it's dead."

Sandy rolled his eyes.

"It figures." He said, "Guys just some advice now, don't let Seth baby- sit."

Later that day Marissa, Sandy, Ryan, and Kirsten met with Abby, the social worker.

"Marissa, you can be released from the hospital tomorrow, but the girls as you know will have to be here a little bit longer." Abby explained.

Marissa nodded

"Alright." Abby folded her hands and leaned back in her chair. "It has been set up that from here tomorrow you will be transferred to a hospital in Newport."

"Wait, but Piper and Madison are still going to be here." Sandy said

Abby nodded

"Is there any way we can get them transferred?" Kirsten asked

"Not in the condition that they are in now." Abby explained further.

Marissa and Ryan looked at each other.

"What do you think Marissa?" Ryan asked her.

At this point Marissa knew that she had to go to the treatment center, and it would only cause a fuss for the Cohens if she refused.

"I will go to the hospital in Newport. But I mean, when, when the girls are strong enough to be transferred can they be moved there?" She asked

"I am sure that is possible." Abby confirmed

Marissa nodded.

Ryan and Marissa went back to the room in silence.

"Ryan." Marissa began.

"Yeah." He said rubbing her shoulders

"Do you mind staying here with the girls? I mean only if you-"

"Really, it is okay. I will stay with them." Ryan said.

"Will you call me and let me know how they are doing?" Marissa said beginning to cry

"Everyday." Ryan said softly kissing her forehead.

Marissa collapsed into his chest in tears.

"Sush. it will be okay." He said continuously kissing the top of her head
