"Hey could you get Ryan. Breakfast is ready." Kirsten told Seth.
"Sure. Be right back."
Seth made his way to the pool house and didn't find Ryan there. Where could he be Seth thought. Now he had to tell Kirsten that he wasn't there, and that he didn't know where Ryan was.
"So where's Ryan." Kirsten asked.
"Um. I don't know. He wasn't there."
"Well, that's odd. I wish he would have told us."
"I'll find out when he comes home."
"I mean it's okay it's just that I hope he's safe."
"Same here."
After Seth finished his morning ritual of coffee, a bagel, and Art & Leisure, he decided to call Summer.
"Hello." Summer answered the phone.
"Hey. It's Captain Oats." Seth joked.
"Look. I can't talk right now." Summer snapped.
"Alright. I just called to ask if you know where Ryan is?"
"No, why would I know?"
"Well I thought if Marissa knew then you would know."
"Well I don't sorry. Okay, bye." And Summer hung up the phone.
Seth felt confused, but just brushed it off. Just then Ryan cam through the front doors.
"Hey buddy where were you?"
"Out." Ryan replied not really in the mood to talk. At least he was able to revert to his one word answers and that did not sound out of the ordinary.
""Did you even come home cause I got in late and I didn't see you in the pool house?"
"So you're my watch man now. Listen Seth, I don't want to talk right now."
"Fair enough."
With that Ryan went to the pool house alone to contemplate what has happened the past two days. Why did he do what he did? Was it right? Did he go too far? Just then the phone rang and it interrupted his thoughts.
"Hello." Ryan answered.
"Hi. It's me (pause) Marissa."
"Look" Ryan began to speak just before he was cut off by her.
"Ryan, I didn't plan to tell Summer that we were back together. She just assumed when she saw you over."
"I figured as much. I realized that on the car ride."
"Car ride down to where?"
Just remembering that it was to Teresa's house he quickly thought of a different answer.
"The beach."
"Ryan Atwood enjoying the beach." Marissa spoke with a laugh.
"Yeah. It has helped me unwind going there so what better place."
"Um. So I guess you are alright. I'll let you go then."
"Wait"
"Yeah." Marissa holding a sense of hope.
"Are you busy right now?"
"Umm. Not wanting to sound too desperate by answering quickly she took a little time before answering no."
"Could you meet me down by the pier?"
"Alright."
When Marissa hung up the phone she couldn't wait to see Ryan again. It felt just like the time she prepared herself before they found themselves in his pool. Today was the day she would get him back. She had to.
When she left her dad's apartment she wore a tight fitting little black dress. This should make him think twice she thought. Hopefully her nerves would hold.
Ryan on the other hand was quite relaxed. He was at the controls and he knew it. He still had no idea what he was going to say to her, but as Seth once said he knew the words would come.
Ryan noticed her standing on the pier. Man did she look gorgeous. God why did she have to be so amazing looking. He had to admit Teresa did not even come close to her. He was very happy that she did not notice him yet. When he felt that it was time to walk up to her he did.
"Hey" Ryan spoke up first.
"Hey" Marissa barely spoke out.
""Ryan I just..."
But before Marissa could continue Ryan cut her off.
"I am not much of a talker, but I have so much that I want to say and I need to say it. This is not easy for me."
"Okay."
Marissa's mood now suddenly changed. Maybe this wasn't going to be as good as she thought.
"Marissa, um, where do I start." Ryan said as he contemplated which direction to take this.
"If someone told me that I would end up living with the rich and fabulous I would never have believed them. If they ever told me that I would fall in love with such an amazing girl I wouldn't believe them either, but the fact is both of those things came true. Before Oliver came into our lives we were not perfect. Far from it, but there was something still there that we didn't lose and that was trust. You can't tell me that I did not trust you with Oliver. I let you see him all that you wanted and did not fight you too much over it. Then when I tried to protect you time and time again, you didn't believe me. All those times I helped you and you still turned your back away. I almost went back to juvy for you, almost got expelled, and thank god the Cohen's did not give up on me, but even if they did I would have still been there for you, felt something for you. I don't know if I lost it, or not yet, but I feel it more and more each day. You had your choice back before we got together if you wanted Luke, or me. I guess now I have that decision to make."
"I want to be with you. I love you Ryan." She protested.
"Well I have decided to give Teresa and me another shot.
"What?' Marissa now spoke out with anger.
"You heard me correctly. I just need to be away from you. Seeing her has brought back feelings that I just can't ignore."
"You can't be serious!" Marissa had to hold back tears.
"But I am."
And with that Ryan left the pier and headed over to Teresa's house.
Marissa was totally crushed. How could he go back to her? Did he ever really love Teresa? She then decided the best thing to do now was to talk to Seth. He knew Ryan better than anyone. Maybe he would have some answers. She decided to head over to the Cohen house.
"Sure. Be right back."
Seth made his way to the pool house and didn't find Ryan there. Where could he be Seth thought. Now he had to tell Kirsten that he wasn't there, and that he didn't know where Ryan was.
