The OC- Love Hate
The shouting had reached deafening point in the poolhouse. Ryan and Marissa were at it again.
The rain fell heavily outside, streaming down the window like tears that were reflected on
their faces. Yet another argument was raging through the poolhouse but this time is was
different. Ryan had just found out that Marissa was pregnant and it wasn't his. Devistated,
Ryan had fled to the poolhouse for some solitude but Marissa had followed, desparate to
explain. Barging her way, Marissa found Ryan lying crumpled and dejected on the floor,
tears streaming down his face in what can only be described as pure agony. As far as he was
concerned Marissa had ripped out his heart and enjoyed doing it. How could someone he loved
so much cause him so much pain?
As Marissa burst in she was panting and soaking wet. Running in the rain was never her
strong point and she knew that within 5 mins that her hair was going to turn into a giant
ball of fuzz. But this didn't concern her much as all she wanted was Ryan. When Ryan looked
up at Marissa standing there he couldn't remember her ever looking so beautiful. "No" he
thought "there's only so much abuse I can take."
"Ryan, I..." Marissa started to explain but Ryan was quick to cut her off.
"Don't" the hurt palpable though Ryans expression. "There's nothing you can say that will
ever make what you have done to me go away". He got up and turned his back to her."Just
leave."
"I can't" Marissa chocked as the tears overcame her. She just brokedown. Leaning against
the wall she just let go of all her inabitions as she knew that this was her last chance
to get him back. She brushed her hand over her stomach. She could feel the child growing
inside her and new at that moment that she couldn't get rid of that child growing inside
her. She wanted to be part if a family again and most of all she wanted Ryan to be part of
that family. She needed to let him know the truth and she wan't going to leave till he
knew.
Gaining her composure, Marissa tried once again to expalin herself "Shes lying...."
"Lying about what, that your pregnant, that you slept with Luke, that you've been lying to
me? What, WHAT IS SHE LYING ABOUT?" Ryan knew that he was letting his emotions get the
better of him but he couldn't help it.
"I was druged, ok. Someone sliped somthing in my drink the night I slept with Luke, I'm
sure of it. I don't remember anything except waking up in his bed the next morning.I
don't even know if he's the father, my mother is just trying to push us apart."
"So why didn't you tell me about this."
"I was going to I just didn't get the chance."
Ryan sat down hard on the side of the bed. The though that he might be about to become a dad
started to creep into his mind. He started shaking his head."No, no, no you lied. You
didn't tell me because you didn't want me to find out. YOU'VE MADE A FOOL OF ME!." At this
Ryan voice had become inhumanly loud. Out of the courner of his eye Ryan saw the light go
on in the kitchen. "I'm outa here" he muttered, pushing past Marissa and heading out into
the pouring rain.
"Ryan. Wait...Ryan" cried Marissa as she turned to run after him. For the second time that
night she was heading out after him in the rain but this time she knew it was the last
time. "I love you, I want us to be a family." She wasn't even sure if he could hear her but
it was worth a shot. Suddenly a sharp pain pierced though her. She let out a spin chilling
scream and then everthing went black.
Opening her eyes, Marissa soon realised she was in the hospital. A doctor stood at the foot
of her bed and Jimmy was sitting down to her right. Trying to sit up the pain returned and
with it the memory of what had happened the night before. "The baby" was all she managed to
murmer as she sloughted back down in bed.
"The babys fine, you're fine you just need to rest now. You gave us a bit of a scare there"
the doctor informed her.
"You awake?" Marissa looked over and saw Ryan standing at the door. He was stil wearing the
same clothes and looked like he haddn't slept. At this sight a small smile crept across her
face.
"We're going to leave you kids alone for a bit so you can sort some stuff out" said Jimmy as
he got up to leave the room. Marissa's eyes moved from her father to Ryan who was still
standing at in the doorway. Once the others had left Ryan steped inside and closed the door
behind him. Sitting down beside her he took her hand and stared into her eyes.
"When I heard about what happened with Luke and that you were pregnant I was so mad I didn't
think I could ever look at you again. But when you told me about the drugs and that I might
be the father I couldn't help but start loving you again. Then when you colapsed I knew I
couldn't live without you. The doctor did a scan and I saw the baby, our baby. I want to be
a family, I know I don't have much in terms of material goods but I love you more then I
thought possible." They had both started crying again.
"What happened to the strong and silent Ryan?" joked Marissa. They both chuckled.
They knew that this was only the beginning of the long and hard road ahead, but as long as
they had each other they knew that everthing was going to work out.
