After Ryan had finished listening to Sandy give him a lengthy lecture about love and how him and Marissa were meant for each other, he gratefully got up and went to the next room to find Seth sitting with Captain Oats. He could tell he was in for another round of questions.
"Dude, how was your night?" Seth asked.
"Great" Ryan answered.
"Ah, a man of many words you are Ryan Atwood." Seth said, getting frustrated.
"Hey, you ask questions, I answer. Shoot."
Seth thought about this for a moment. What could he ask to get Ryan to open up? "Uh, ok, what were you doing at Marissa's?
Ryan thought back to last night. It was so wonderful. What could he tell Seth to get him to shut up? "I told her I was sorry for breaking up with her and then we fell asleep on her couch together. We're going out tonight."
Seth was very surprised at this answer. He wasn't expecting that at all.
"Well that's great man! High five!" Seth yelled, gesturing at his hand.
Ryan just looked at Seth's hand, then his face, then walked out of the room.
"Uh, ok, I'll just high five myself!" Seth said, slapping his own hand.
As Ryan walked into the pool house, he was very surprised at what he saw. "Shit!" He thought to himself. "I forgot to call Theresa!"
Theresa walked up to Ryan and gave him a big open-mouth kiss. "Hey hun!" She said, smiling.
Ryan smiled lightly. He thought very carefully about what to say, not wanting to hurt Theresa's feelings.
"Theresa," He started, "I think we should talk."
"Ok, whatever you say babe. What's up?"
Ryan was hesitant at first. He had to do it.
"We can't-" Ryan couldn't get the right words out. "I just--, okay, listen Theresa, I know we've been together, and it's been great but, I don't love you. I think you should go. I'm sorry."
Tears started forming in her eyes. Ryan knew that it was crushing her. He didn't like to see her cry. But he loved Marissa, and some things just had to happen.
"But Ryan!" Theresa cried. "I thought what we had was special. I thought we were gonna work everything out!"
"I know, I'm sorry. We weren't meant for each other. I really think you should go talk to Eddie." Ryan choked over his words. He really was sorry.
Theresa stormed out, sobbing.
