Ryan and Seth had not even driven out of the driveway and Seth continued to
complain about the trip.
"This is going to suck so bad." Seth moaned.
"Listen, you want my advice. This week you could try to get back together with her." Ryan suggested.
"I don't even know why she broke up with me. She just said it was over. Maybe if you know something like if Marissa mentioned something."
"Sorry. Nothing man. Marissa and I haven't done much talking."
"Oh." Seth looked worried.
"No, nothing like that. You know we have been hanging out."
"Oh, I see. Taking it to the next level." After a slight pause. "So have you, you know?"
Ryan gave him a what do you think look.
"So that is why Marissa has looked so cheerful." Seth joked.
"You really need to get back together with Summer. Get some action of your own again."
"Maybe I will make magic happen."
"Let's hope you right."
Not long after they arrived at Summer's house. She was standing outside in a cute baby pink sweater with her enormous amount of luggage surrounding her.
"I'll just stay in the car. Heavy lifting is not for me." Seth spoke.
"So you know, you are driving the way there after we pick up Marissa." Ryan said.
"You just can't wait to get your paws on Marissa again." Seth shot back.
Ryan just ignored him and continued putting the bags in the back.
"Ryan, would it be possible to not have you and Marissa all over each other this week? I mean the rest of us might find it hard. You know what I mean?" Summer quietly whispered.
"Could I ask you something Summer?" Ryan asked.
"Yeah."
"Why did you break up with Seth in the first place?"
In the distance..
"Hey are you guys done yet? Let's go before all the snow melts." Seth interrupted them.
Summer just shrugged off Ryan's question and walked to the front seat in the car. Ryan made his way to the backseat. After about twenty minutes of complete silence, yes complete silence even with Seth in the car they made it to Marissa's house.
Marissa was dressed in a red sweatshirt and dark blue jeans. Luckily for Seth, Ryan did not have as many bags to put in the back. Soon they were on their way to Mt. Villinova Ski and Resort Lodge.
Ryan decided to respect Summer's opinion and changed his plans of making out with Marissa the whole trip there.
"So Marissa, what are you most looking forward to?" Ryan asked.
"Spending a whole week with you." She then leaned in for a kiss.
Ryan wanted to do more, but he was brought back to reality when Seth asked Ryan a question.
"Hey, Ryan. What type of room is the one we are staying at?"
"Actually I don't know. On the website it just mentioned that it houses up to four people and that it was the last one that was available for that amount of people. I didn't want us to have separate rooms."
"That was a good idea." Summer added. Seth just looked at her. She said that a little too enthusiastically.
"Um. So we won't be separated." She spoke up trying to cover up her previous statement.
"How much longer till we get there?" Marissa asked.
"Well the GPS lady says an hour and a half." Seth replied.
Ryan spoke up. "Hopefully we will get there by that time."
Fortunately for Seth, they arrived after the hour and a half and left everything in the car so they could check in first before heading to the car to get some of their stuff. Marissa and Ryan held hands toward the information desk while Seth and Summer just walked side by side each other.
The place looked amazing and so did the view. He was looking forward to just spending the week with Marissa and not only that, he felt that things were finally coming together. He felt more and more like a family with the Cohens and now began to feel like that. This brought a smile to his face.
Marissa looked at Ryan and noticed that sweet smile and in turn smiled herself. After everything that has gone on between them, he still found his way back to her. It might have taken Oliver to help her understand how much he really did care for her and she was happy that she finally realized this. Maybe Teresa came into their lives at the right time. He did need to resolve his feelings from the past. He did just leave without saying goodbye. It was the best time for him to get everything cleared up. Imagine if they were very much in love and then she showed up. It would have done much more damage. All she now was looking forward to was moving on with her love, Ryan Atwood.
"Hi. How may I help you?" The lady at the front desk spoke.
"Yes. We have reservations under the name of Cohen." Seth answered.
"Let me check." After a minute, or two the lady looked up from the computer. "Nope, sorry we don't have anything listed under that name."
Seth looked at Ryan confused. Ryan then addressed the lady.
"Hi. My name is Ryan. Try under the name of Atwood. I might have used that last name."
After another minute. "Sorry sir. Nothing shows up."
"Great just great. What are we going to do now?" Seth began to complain.
"Now let's not panic." Ryan spoke and approached the lady again. "Do you have anything available for four people?"
"We probably don't, but let me just check to see if any bookings were cancelled. Give me five minutes okay sir."
"Thanks."
With that the group decided to sit down at a nearby table. Seth and Marissa had sad looks on their faces while Summer and Ryan looked really pissed. This was supposed to be a week to relax Ryan thought. Summer figured that her plans of connecting with Seth were ruined even thought he didn't know about her plans.
"Hey, I'm just going to go get something to drink at the vending machine over there." Summer said.
"Yeah, I'm going to get a drink too." Ryan spoke as he got up to follow her.
Seth and Marissa just exchanged looks.
"Summer." Ryan called out.
"You thirsty too. I could have brought over a drink for you."
"You never answered the question I asked back at your house. Why did you break up with him?"
"I don't know. It felt right."
Ryan just rolled his eyes and demanded a straight answer without even saying so.
"I got scared. Things were becoming serious. I felt that I needed to back out. I never had anyone care for me as much as he did (pauses) does. Is he really hurt?"
"Yeah. He needs to know why. I mean I won't tell him what you told me, but he deserves to know."
"Excuse me. Ryan."
Ryan walks up to the front desk with Summer. Marissa and Seth soon follow.
"This is going to suck so bad." Seth moaned.
"Listen, you want my advice. This week you could try to get back together with her." Ryan suggested.
