Chapter 2
Ryan approached the Cooper's gigantic door slowly, not sure if he wanted to be doing this. He made a mistake by sleeping with Theresa, a mistake that he couldn't take back, and one with serious consequences. He and Marissa had been through so much, and he just hoped that they could handle this. He edged to the door, but before he could knock, it swung open and out struggled Marissa carrying several boxes and a stuffed animal in her mouth. When Marissa saw Ryan standing in front of her, she dropped the stuffed animal into her box and stammered... "Hey...I uh, I just had to get the rest of my stuff." Ryan looked down, "Oh...ok, uh...do you want any help, I" Marissa cut him off, "No, that's really ok, I'm sure you have your hands full enough with Theresa" Marissa turned to go back into the house, leaving her boxes on the porch, but Ryan grabbed her elbow. Marissa spun around and looked at Ryan, "Ryan! What do you want? I think you've done enough already!" Marissa glared at Ryan, she was angry with him, she wanted to be mad at him! Ryan looked down at the ground and then back up at Marissa, "I was uh... I just wanted to talk about....I mean," Ryan sighed and took a deep breath, "Do you want to go to a hockey game with me?"
Seth pulled up in Summer's driveway and saw her sitting on her porch. Seth waved to her, but Summer motioned for him to get out of the car and come to her. Seth looked confused, but got out of his mom's Range Rover and walked over to Summer. "Hey," Seth said, obviously confused, "What's going on? I mean, I know that it's not the most gentlemanly thing to wave from your car, but the movie's gonna start soon, and the other viewers can get very cross if you walk in after the previews start!" Summer walked over to Seth and covered his mouth, "Cohen, shut up!" Summer smiled and continued, "I just didn't feel like going to a movie tonight, I'm worried about Ryan and Marissa!" Seth sighed, and put his arm around Summer's neck. "I know, everything got really screwed up didn't it?" Summer nodded as she sat next to Seth and leaned on his shoulder. "I mean, they were finally getting normal! They got past Luke and Oliver. I thought there drama was over!" "Yeah," Seth agreed, "I was really looking forward to this summer being about us four. But you know, what if Ryan and Marissa had a little help getting back together?!" Summer looked back at Seth, "You mean, like you and me play match maker or something?" Seth nodded eagerly, "Yeah, I think that all they need is a little help finding each other again!" Summer looked reluctant, "I don't know Cohen, it's not like this was a small little argument, I mean Ryan may be the father of Theresa's baby!" Seth nodded, yeah, I know...but right now, they're avoiding each other, if they just spend some time together, they'll wanna be back together." Summer smiled, "It's definitely worth a shot, I want this summer to be perfect! Coop isn't doing anything tonight, what's Ryan up to?" "He's so desperate for entertainment that he would have hung out with Luke!" Summer laughed, "Ok, lets go hang out at your place, I'll school you in PS2" "Yeah, maybe, if by "school" you mean lose and start to cry!" "Shut up! I only did that once!" The couple laughed and got into the car.
