Chapter 7: Fights and Consequences

Marissa was driving Ryan home from school. "So what did you get on your grade report?" She asked. "I got ok."

"Are you graduating?" She asked seriously." Um"

"Ryan Atwood.!"

"I got a C in government."

"Ryan why?"

"I didn't mean too."

"Marissa, politics isn't me."

"Well, I don't care if Politics isn't you."

"Marissa, it's not your problem."

"Yes it is."

"No it isn't"

"It's my life."

They had actually pulled into the Cohen's driveway and were sitting there fighting.

"Hey you two." Sandy said as he walked up in his Swim trunks and surfboard to Ryan's open window.

"Hey Sandy." Ryan said.

"I'll call you." He said and got out of the car.

"You better." She said and backed out of the driveway fast and drove away gunning the gas.

"Ryan, is there trouble in paradise."

"I got a C in government."

"Ryan, your probation."

"I just don't get government. It's Stupid. I got A's and B's in everything else."

"Ryan, let's not tell Kirsten quite yet."

Marissa was driving way to fast. She didn't see the light turn red as she was to mad. The Red BMW hit her driver's side.

Ryan was lying on his bed. He was contemplating on whether to call Marissa.

He dialed her Cell Phone.

"He got her Voice mail."

"Hi you've reached Marissa. Leave a message." He heard the part that he was tickling her. "Ryan stop that." Beep.

"Hey Rissa. I am sorry I will work harder it's only mid term I'll bring it up."

"I love you."

"Mr. and Mrs. Cooper?" the Nurse asked Caleb and Julie.

"No we're the Nickels. I am her mother and this is my husband Caleb." Julie said

"Oh, well your daughter has suffered severe injuries to the abdominal area and also broke her leg."

"They removed her Appendix as the accident made them bulge and almost erupt she also had internal bleeding, but they have fixed that in surgery."

"Oh my God. Is she going to be all right?" Julie asked.

"She'll be fine, but she is going to need to stay here for a couple nights to make sure things start to heal."

"That's good. Can we see her?" Asked Caleb.

"No, she's resting. You might as well go home there is nothing we can do."

"All right let's go." Caleb said heading towards the door.

"She's my baby girl I am not leaving her." Julie said.

"She's an Ungrateful Baby girl. That slut hasn't said thank you for anything I have given her."

"My daughter is not a slut. She is my baby who was seriously injured."

"Who cares. God Julie if it weren't for this stupid accident we would on our way to Italy right now."

"I care. I don't want to go to Italy or Spain with you. What I want is a divorce and Julie walked out of there."

Caleb just stood there like a brick had just hit him in the head.

Ryan sat there it was 1:00 am usually Marissa had called him by now.

Ryan decided to call the Nickel Mansion.

"Hello." Said Caleb.

"Caleb?"

"Who's speaking?" asked Caleb.

"It's Ryan, is Marissa home?"

He was wondering why Marissa wasn't answering it was after 1:00 usually she answered.

"Ryan, Marissa was in an accident and after today this is no longer her home nor her mother's." Ryan didn't even hear the last part Marissa was in an accident. He walked out of the Pool house. Leaving Caleb on the Phone. "Ryan Atwood you LOW LIFE don't ever call here again."

He drove as fast as he could to the hospital.

He went to the Desk. "Marissa Cooper's Room."

"I am sorry sir, but it is past visiting hours."

"Fine I'll wait," he went and sat down and waited till morning.

"Ryan?" Julie asked she had been on the phone all night talking to her lawyer.

"Ryan wake up." Ryan woke up and almost screamed Julie Cooper was standing right over him.

"Julie?"

"Ryan, how long have you been here?"

"Since 1:30."

"I called your house and Mr. Nickel said Marissa was in an accident."

"You may go in now." The nurse came out and said.

"You can go first." Julie said slightly touching Ryan's arm. "She would rather see you."

He walked into the room.

Her leg was in the air and perfect face had lots of cuts and scratches.

"Hey Sweetie." He said. Leanind down kissing her forehead.

"Hey."

"You were right I should have worked harder."

"Ryan it's ok I was really stupid to get mad at you. Look at what getting mad get's me. A broken, leg. No Appendix " Her lips were so kissable at this moment he wanted to take her in his arms and do her right now.

"It's ok." He said leaning down and Kissing her lips.

"I love you."

"I love you too." She said as they parted.
