Sorry for such a late update. I had a lot going on, plus I was having a major writers block. But I hope this should be a good chapter. R&R!

~*~

*I'm not a perfect person

There's many things I wish I didn't do

But I continue learning

I never meant to do those things to you

And so I have to say before I go

That I just want you to know*

"Marissa, I'm sorry." Ryan said patheticly.

They had just left Harbor, and Ryan was taking Marissa home. He felt absolutley awful for what he had done. He broke her heart, once again, for no reason.

"Listen, Ryan, It's so not your fault. I mean, I know what you saw looked wrong, and I should've done something about it." Marissa said. She was really trying to give this 'Think about other people's feelings instead of your own' thing.

"God, this is all my fault!" Ryan yelled. "I didn't trust you, even though I should have, and I messed up once again!"

*I'm sorry that I hurt you

It's something I must live with everyday

And all the pain I put you through

I wish that I could take it all away

And be the one who catches all your tears

Thats why i need you to hear*

"Ryan, we just got back in to our relationship. The beginning is always the hardest. I know that you were just getting your trust back, and I know that we could try again."

"I just, I can't believe that this always happens!!"

"It's ok. It will be ok, I promise."

"It will. I know it will because I'm going to make it ok. I'm gonna change this time. This won't happen again, ever. I love you so much."

"I love you too." Marissa said as she embraced Ryan in to a tight hug.

*I've found a reason to show

A side of me you didn't know

A reason for all that I do

And the reason is you*

"Want to come over?" Ryan asked.

"Well, I think that would be absolutley wonderful." Marissa replied cheerfully.

"Then off we go. Your chariat a-waits!" Ryan exclaimed.

Marissa giggled. She loved this side of Ryan. Well, she loved almost all sides of Ryan. She loved everything about Ryan. And Ryan loved her. They both knew that this time, everything WAS going to be ok.

*I've found a reason for me

To change who I used to be

A reason to start over new

and the reason is you*

~*~

And there you have chapter 12 ladies and gents! I think that would be a good ending for this story, eh? I think that will be the ending, unless I get a lot of reviews telling me to continue. In that case I could try to continue on...or write a sequil? Whatcha thinin'? Press dat button and tell me! Thanx so much for reading, and if you haven't aleready, check out my other story called Some Kind Of Wonderful. Luv YA!
