Possibilities
Chapter 7: Part 1
".You Don't Know How I Feel."

"Hey, Marissa. I am sorry! Just let me drive you home"

"No Luke!"

"I swear it is just t apologize and make up for what I did" Luke Exclaimed.

"I said NO, now I am going to find Summer" Marissa states.

"She left like 2 minutes ago, Marissa stop being so stubborn and hop in" Marissa stopped and hesitated then decided that he was going to give up so she gave up and climbed into the car.

-Ryan's Pov-

"I watched a car pull up into Marissa's driveway. Then Marissa go out. "Thanks for the ride Luke" I heard Marissa say. As I heard those words I knew it was all over. She still wanted Luke, she was just afraid to tell me it was over. How could I have been so stupid to think that it would work out between us.

"How stupid could I have been to believe you when you said you two were over" I called from behind Marissa.

"Ryan, I am"

"Marissa, I don't want to hear it. I saw you guys kissing for Christ sake!" I hissed.

"No, he kissed me" Marissa pleaded.

"If that was the case you would have been mad. Seeing that you got a ride with him leaves the impression that you liked it enough not to be mad"

"There was no one else"

"There was Summer" I suggested.

"She had left"

"No, I just got off the phone with her. She left 2 minutes ago"

"Luke lied then, he told me she had left" Marissa explained.

"And you always listen to Luke, I would have came and got you"

"You're the one that left me there" Marissa argued.

"I was mad, and heart broken. Marissa I was just on my way to get you, why do you think I called Summer. I thought maybe you got a ride with her, and if you didn't I would have"

"I am so sorry, believe me" Marissa begged.

"Believe me, I want to, I want to so badly it hurts. But I can't, I just can't" I cried.

"Ryan!" She cried as I walked away.

-Marissa's Pov-

I painfully watched him walk away. I knew he was doing it because he could stand to look at me anymore. I knew it hurt him to not be able to bring him to believe me. I broke his heart. I swore I never would but I did. He hurts like I hurt. I hurt so much. I was tearing my insides up. Why did I have to stop to Luke? Why did this have to happen? So many questions flew through my brain. I kept mentally beating myself up for hurting him. I gave up and decided to go to my room for the rest of the night.

"Marissa, please come out and eat dinner" Julie said.

"No, Mom go away" I yelled.

"You have to eat. Come on honey you can tell me what's wrong. Just unlock the door please," Julie pleaded. After 5 minutes of silence Julie gave up and left. I got up and turned on the radio and went back to my bed and laid down.

Who could know the emptiness inside

Every time I see your face

Too many feelings left behind

Do you wonder why

I turn away when you look at me

Never wanting your eyes to see

This desperate heart that knows

How perfect we could be

Baby cause you don't know, how I feel

Livin' my life without you

Baby and you don't know what it's like

Lovin' you all this time

I'll give you all my love, heart and soul

Riskin' it all on a chance

Now when I need you the most, you don't know

All I ever wanted in this world

Baby I found in you

I never felt this way before

But I can't break through

And now I lie awake, alone at night

So afraid now to close my eyes

Just one more dream of you

I'll carry here inside

And I would hold you all through the night

I would stay right by your side

And I'd give you the world if your love was mine

But baby could it be you all through the night

I would stay right by your side

And I'd give you the world if your love was mine

But baby could it be I'm only dreamin'

Don't let it pass me by

I laughed. How ironic is that. A song that fits Ryan and I is playing when we get into the biggest fight ever and possibly are broken up. I got up and turned it off, not wanting to take the chance another song like that would play and make me even sadder. Then it hit me. Maybe I can somehow make Ryan believe me and forgive me.

"Ring, Ring"

"Hello" Seth's voice came over the phone.

"He Seth, can you get Ryan and put him on the phone, and don't tell him it is me" I begged.

"OK, sure whatever" Seth replied and Set the phone down. Seth walked into the other room where Ryan was playing video games.

"Ryan, the phones for you"

"Who is it" Ryan groaned.

"I am not sure." Ryan nodded and went to answer the phone.

"Hello" Ryan said into the receiver.

"Ryan it's me, please to hang up"

"Oh, uh hi. Just so you know I wasn't planning on it" Ryan replied shocked.

"Ok, great. Ryan Please forgive me, I need you, and I want you" Marissa Exclaimed.

"Me To"

"So I am forgiven?" I asked.

"I can forgive, just forgetting is something I can't do right now. As much as I want to, I can't"

"I am sorry Ryan"

"I don't wanna hear apologizes. I have heard to make and they always are never true, they are just said to make me feel better"

"ok, well what about homecoming, can we still go together"

"I don't know, if you don't break my heart again then sure" Ryan joked.

"I swear"

"Thank you"

"For What?" Marissa questioned.

"For not promising, promises are always broken"

"I see, well I have to go eat dinner before I go though I want you to promise that you won't hurt Luke"

"I'll Try" Ryan said as he hung up.

"That wasn't a promise, Atwood!" I laughed into to the receiver.

-Homecoming (Saturday Night, Ryan's Pov)-

Things were finally normal again between Marissa and I, well if you could call our relationship normal. It took a while but it was finally back to the way it used to be. That day is still fresh on my mind. I truly never really blamed her for the event, I was mad but I never really could get myself to blame her. That could be the reason why I could forgive her right away, minus the fact that I love her and I can't live without her. Tonight everything is going to be forgotten. Nothing will stop us from having the best night ever. I have a surprise for her at the end of the night. Everyone is happy. Luke isn't coming, Seth is happy, and he is here with Anna. He is a little disappointed that Summer decided not to come because she didn't have a date, but he will get over it. He deserved someone who will treat him with respect and make him happy. Right now I believe that person is Anna. Summer is great, but she just isn't the girl for him right now. She has yet to make up her mind about her losing her popularity over Seth. Seth is happy that is all that matters. Now Summer has all the time in the world to make her decision
