A/N: I had to change the party scene in Chapter 1, so the details wouldn't contradict events that take place in this chapter. If you didn't already know I formatted the first 6 chapters (but all of them will be done in about a week, but don't want people that were reading this to wait any longer for chapter 10). I expanded on a lot, once I formatted all the chapters, they became double in length. The bottom line I am getting at is Marissa never met Theresa at the party or ever for that matter, up until this chapter she has only heard what Ryan has told her. Now that we got all this confusion out of the way on to Chapter 10. Please not that my story doesn't follow the show's storyline or anything; I've just referenced certain events.
Seth and Summer left the room, Ryan was left alone in the hospital room alone with Marissa, quite like before Seth and Summer had burst in with their monumental news. Ryan is busy staring into Marissa eyes and his lips turn into a slight smile, because he thinking how much he loves Marissa
"So what do you think is going to happen to Seth and Summer?" Ryan said not sure what he and Marissa would do if they had unprotected sex and she became pregnant
"I don't know, I hope they didn't just ruin their life"
"Yeah, because Seth has enough trouble taking care of himself" Ryan noticed that Seth must be rubbing off on him as he was making a joke over something that was serious. At least it lighten the moment
"Summer's not as dumb as she appears, she'll figure something out" Marissa didn't want to think about how her life will change if her best friend was pregnant "Do you mind pressing that button over there, I need the nurse to come with my dose of pain medicine"
Ryan got up from the chair he was sitting in and leaned over Marissa's bed pausing for a second and then the moment faded "Sure, is it the red one?"
"Yeah"
The nurse came in to see why Marissa's call button went off, and then left the room after she is told to go get some pain medication. The nurse is gone for a few minutes and returns with a white glove on her hand holding a syringe upright in the air and lies it horizontally
"Now Marissa before I give you this medicine, I need to ask you a few questions" the nurse said in what she hoped was a calming voice
"I told you everything, Summer told you everything" Marissa said in a high pitched voice, getting scared that they needed to ask more questions because there was something worse in her body. She felt better having Ryan at her side holding her hand, she knew that he would help her get through anything
"You were subdued at the time, you might have forgotten something important"
"Okay"
"Now you and Summer both said that there were no customers around your table, nothing suspicious, right?"
"Not anyone that we noticed"
"Now Ms. Roberts didn't mention anything about a waitress or a waiter, now they would have had access to your order"
Marissa is a little confused as to where there whole questioning thing is going and is starting to get worked up "Why would the waitress care about getting the drug in my system, they wouldn't even know me"
"Now calm down Marissa, if you get worked up your going to forget this and you'lll have to go through this again" Ryan said as he traced her arm with his index finger making little circles up her arm
"You're right, I'm better now"
"I need you to tell me about the waitress you had, so someone can go there and question her" The nurse calming voice was no longer present and was replaced by a serious tone. The nurse pulled a pencil out of her bun and was waiting for Marissa to begin talking
"Don't you think that's getting ahead of yourself, I mean you don't even know if she even had anything to do with it"
"Don't you want to find out what happened?" The nurse was about to leave, she didn't think Marissa was up for this right now when Marissa suddenly started talking
"I guess so, okay you wanted a description of the waitress, I remember she had brownish, blackish hair kinda wavy, prominent eyes. She had a nametag but I don't remember what her name was, maybe she didn't have a nametag I can't remember." Marissa was interrupted by Ryan sudden revelation
"This may seem a little far-fetched, but what is there to lose. The description just, I mean I'm sure a lot of girls have those characteristics but" Ryan reaches into his back pocket and pulls out his wallet and flips to a picture "is this her?"
"Yeah, that's her. Why would you have a picture of her, do you know her?" Marissa is starting to get defensive "Is that Theresa?"
"Yeah, That's Theresa. I was going to introduce you to her but you left the party before I got the chance. I was hoping you would come back to the pool house because she stayed awhile after the party ended. It's probably not even the same girl just two people that look alike"
Marissa started to cry and her voice started to quake, her boyfriend had just told her that he had spent time with his ex-girlfriend, alone. "So Theresa was the girl that was in the pool with you. I thought she was just some random girl you had hooked up with after the party" Marissa took a couple of deep breaths and wiped her eyes and cheeks
"It's not like that Marissa, it happened fast. I don't even have feelings for here anymore
Marissa was still crying and Ryan's last comment made her even more angry, it was like he didn't care. "Anymore! You told me you never had feeling for her. What else have you told me that has been a lie?" Marissa got it, it was all just a façade, a persona he put on of sensitivity out of pity probably now she wasn't even sure if she knew Ryan. Marissa then thought she was reading to much into Ryan's comment, it was just a comment he wouldn't deliberately say something that would hurt her, he was just trying to help.
Ryan took a deep breath and stares deep into her blue eyes, Ryan could get lost in those eyes, they were hypnotizing. Ryan took another deep breath and took a hold of Marissa hand as she let go of his hand when she was spazing out "Nothing, look don't do this Marissa. You're just over-reacting. That was all in the past, I love you Marissa, I want to be with you. I will do whatever it takes to find out what happened to you. When you get out of the hospital, I'll make it up to you
"P-P-Promise?"
"Promise" Ryan got up from his chair and give Marissa a long romantic kiss and when he let go he brushed the hair of Marissa face and what would have been a really romantic moment was interrupted by the nurse
"Now that we have a possible suspect, we can get someone to go question this Theresa"
A/N: So I didn't plan on Marissa and Ryan having a little quarrel in the hospital (its what come to me) but it all worked out, for now. Chapter 11 will be coming soon so keep checking!
