"They took the car, They took the car after we specifically told them they couldn't after they got it vandalized at that IMAX movie. I don't believe they went to that IMAX movie." Kirsten didn't know why she was getting so angry about something that was in the past. Her son and Ryan were at the hospital and she didn't know why
"How about we wait and yell at the kids later, Honey they only took the car to go to the hospital. You can see the good in that can't you?"
"Yeah, until they do something stupid and get the car ruined, again"
"There they are" Sandy pointed to Ryan, Summer, and Seth who were off congregating in a little corner of the lobby
Kirsten ran up to the teenagers almost as if the hospital was on fire or something "What's wrong? Why are you kids at the hospital?"
"It's okay Mrs. Cohen, there was a minor accident, but it's going to be okay" Summer stated quite bluntly, Summer seemed to be back to her normal self now that the doctor told her that Marissa was going to be better
"Minor accident?" Kirsten didn't believe her, you don't go to the hospital's emergency for a minor accident. If it was such a minor accident the kids wouldn't have been there the whole afternoon
"Coop feel asleep behind the wheel and she wouldn't wake up" Summer told Mrs. Cohen like she was giving an actual diagnosis, although that wouldn't happen she knew she wasn't smart enough to be a doctor
"Oh my god" Kirsten put her hand to her mouth almost as a reflex
"Its okay, really Mrs. Cohen, the doctor said Coop was going to be just fine"
"See the kids say she is going to be just fine" Sandy never really got emotional, and especially if he was trying to make Kirsten feel better
"We were going to see if we're allowed to visit her if you want to come Sandy" Ryan thought it would be a nice gesture seeing as they drove the whole way there and probably wouldn't go up on there own
"That's okay, just come home when you done Seth, Ryan" Sandy looked at each of them and tried to figure out if they had something up their sleeve for when they left the hospital.
"Dude, now we can't go to that party were we get high of off cocaine and have sex with random hookers" Seth turned to Ryan and playfully punched in the arm, he tried his best to sound so disappointed.
Sandy looked at both Ryan and Seth shocked that Seth would even suggest something like that, and even if that was their plan he would have rather not have heard about it
"Kidding, Dad, Kidding" Seth didn't understand why his dad didn't get his sense of humor.
"You better be" Sandy didn't always know when Seth was kidding and when he was being serious. He didn't understand Seth most of the time
Sandy and Kirsten left the hospital, and said goodbye to the kids. Seth, Ryan, and Summer were left standing in the lobby wondering what they were going to do next. They all decided that Ryan should ask the receptionist what room Marissa was in, so that they could go up to visit her
"I'm here to see Marissa Cooper" Ryan told the receptionist as he waited for the results
As the receptionist typed the name into the computer, Ryan drummed his fingers on the countertop waiting for an answer
"Marissa Cooper, 3rd Floor, Room 347, visiting hours are until 6:00" The receptionist didn't sound really happy, maybe she was having a bad day. She probably just got tired of answering the same questions day in and out. Seth turned his wrist to look at the time
"It's 4:30 now, that gives us an hour and a half"
"We better go then" Summer grabbed Seth's arm and Ryan followed not wanting to have Summer try and beat him up like she did all the time with Seth
Summer eventually gets Seth and Ryan to follow her over to the elevator and they waited until the elevator arrived at their floor. As the elevator makes a dinging noise the door opened and they were surprised to see Luke step out
"Hey Buddy" Seth said trying to sound as if he really cared. He was never really to people because of the way he was treated, no Seth would only be sarcastic
"How is she?" Ryan asked Luke hoping Luke would actually be cordial
"She wasn't awake when I left, then again maybe she knew I was there and just didn't want to talk to me" Luke said almost feeling bad, he wished that he never cheated on Marissa with Holly and that he still had her
"I'll tell you if anything happens" Ryan walk to the elevator, and turned around "or if she says anything" Ryan tried to contain himself but all he wanted to do was beat the living hell out of Luke. What was Luke thinking showing up at the hospital, Luke didn't care about Marissa anymore or at least not in the same way he did or he wouldn't have cheated on her
"Come on Chino, we have to see Coop, Vamanos" Summer yanked on Seth's sleeve and he stumbled into the elevator and Ryan followed suite
As the elevator door opened they started down the long hallway reading the numbers on the door 341, 343, 345, until they came upon room 347 and entered the doorway. Ryan didn't think they had the right room at first there was so many machines the girl was hooked up too. Seemed a lot for what happened to Marissa, she had just passed out. As he walked closer to her bed he noticed her blond hair, how pale her sweet angelic face was. Ryan grabbed a chair from the corner and sat it next to her hospital bed and picked up her hand.
Ryan stroked Marissa's blond hair out of her face "Marissa, you look so helpless and like you're in so much pain"
"Aww, Chino this is so sweet, you actually have emotions other then punching people" Summer thought a lot of things were cute like kittens and puppies. Summer hoped he didn't think it was a come on or something
"That's very good observation Summer. Here's a new observation one that involves us leaving and letting Ryan and Marissa alone"
"Cohen, We just got here, I want to stay with Coop" Summer said going back to her whiny rich girl attitude
"Come on Summer, I'll buy something in the gift shop"
"Gift Shop? Ew!"
Ryan began to talk, he didn't know if Marissa could hear him subconsciously somehow
"Marissa can you hear me, well even if you can't hear me I feel better just sitting by your bed" Ryan then noticed a slight squeeze to his hand
"You can hear me can't you Marissa, wake up Marissa please wake up." As Ryan stared at Marissa's face he noticed a slight twitch, he wanted to believe she was going to wake up but it could have just been a muscle spasm from the medication the doctors had her on
Marissa lips part just barely as the words "Ryan" leave her lips
"I'm here, Marissa, I'm here" Ryan didn't even noticed that he had been rubbing Marissa's hand
"Has anyone else been to see me?" Ryan wondered if something happened to her throat when she wrecked the car as it seemed like it was very hard to talk, painful almost
"Seth and Summer are down in the gift shop and" Ryan paused "and Luke was here earlier"
"Why was he here?"
"He was probably worried about you" Ryan didn't exactly know Luke's motivation for coming to the hospital, but he had to tell Marissa something
"Yeah, right because he was really worried about me down in TJ"
"It's okay Marissa. Don't worry about Luke right now" Ryan got up from his kiss and leaned over the hospital bed and gave Marissa a soft kiss on her lips and then on her forehead "Are you in a lot of pain?"
"Not really, maybe once the pain medication wears off" Marissa thought she was in pain now so the pain she was going to experience soon would probably be unbearable
"Do you know what happened, the doctors haven't told us much?"
"This wasn't self-inflicted like in TJ, if that's what you think Ryan"
"No, No its okay Marissa, I don't think that at all" Ryan hoped that she knew how much he cared about her. He didn't even know how much he cared for her until he got the phone call today telling him Marissa was hurt, his life without Marissa flashed before his eyes. He didn't want to go through his life without her now
"All I remember is Summer and I were driving to the mall and I felt lightheaded and then I woke up and I was in the hospital" Marissa didn't know if the doctor had told Ryan more or if she even remember that little bit correctly
"It's okay, I'm not going anywhere, I not going to leave you"
