Possibilities
Chapter 7: Part 2
"..You Don't Know How I Feel.."

"So Ryan you want to dance? Since I know for a fact that you can dance, I won't take no for an answer!" Marissa exclaimed with a wink.

"Alright fine" I answered not even bothering to protest. As soon as we got on the dance floor and started dancing I saw Luke and Summer enter the room.

:This night is not going to end the way I planned it" I sighed.

"What? Why?" Marissa stated with pure confusion.

I hesitated for a few moments then confessed, "Luke's here...with Summer"

"I wonder what happened with Holly" Marissa exclaimed sarcastically.

"Lets just dance, Luke shouldn't get in the way of us having a great time tonight" I suggested.

Everything was going smoothly. Seth got a little pissed at Summer. We all swore she went with Luke to make Seth jealous. She did succeed even though he was having a great time with Anna. I think Summer will eventually give up the making him jealous act and just act him out. However, I think Summer does deserve to be on the receiving end for once. Though it doesn't do much good, it just makes her want to be with him more, so right now she is as determined as a race horse is to win a race. Summer really is a great person when you get to know her. The bitchy exterior is like a shield, it isn't the true her. After she had heard that Luke had secretly slept with Holly when Marissa was with him she punched him. Luke had a nice shiner for a week. I found it quite hilarious! Which also helped our theory of why she was here with Luke. Though she may be here with him, she sure is spending a lot of time near Seth and Anna.

After Marissa and I had gotten together Luke had been keeping an eye on me. That was probably what he is doing tonight, making sure I didn't do anything. Seth was nice to Summer and danced with her a couple times. Anna didn't really have a problem with it since he did spend a good portion of the time at the dance with her. She gets that they are friends but it still doesn't stop her from getting jealous of Summer. Sometimes, Anna feels that she may loose Seth to Summer, so she gets jealous. I think someone should really tell her not to worry.yet. I even danced with Anna a couple times. Once for being an ass at Cotillion. The other time was just because I wanted to just dance with her.Marissa didn't seem to mind, neither did Seth, since he was dancing with Summer then. Anna swore she had forgiven me about the Cotillion thing but either way I got to know her alittle better while we were dancing. She does spend a lot of time at our house. Anna really is a great person. She is defiantly a great person for Seth.

As the night wound down, it was getting closer and closer to being time for my surprise to Marissa. So I had to go get set up, I was hoping that she will love it.

"I have to go talk to the band, I'll be back in like 5 minutes" I said not telling the whole truth.

Marissa nodded and said, "Alright, well I'll go get us some more drinks"

-Switch to Marissa's Pov-

I was walking back to the table to put the drinks down when I saw Ryan standing on the stage with a microphone in his hand.

"What the.." I started, but was cut off when Ryan started singing.

The lonliness of nights alone

The search for strength to carry on

My every hope had seemed to die

My eyes had no more tears to cry

Then like the sun shining from up above

You surrounded me with your endless love

And all things I couldn't see are now so clear to me

You are my everything

Nothing your love won't bring

My life is yours alone

The only love I've ever known

Your spirit pulls me through

When nothing else will do

Every night I pray

On bended knee

That you will always be

My everything

Now all my hopes and all my dreams

Are suddenly reality

You've opened up my heart to feel

A kind of love that's truly real

A guiding light that'll never fade

There's not a thing in life that I would ever trade

For the love you give and wont let go

I hope you'll always know

You are my everything

Nothing your love won't bring

My life is yours alone

The only love I've ever known

Your spirit pulls me through

When nothing else will do

Every night I pray

On bended knee

That you will always be

My everything

You're the breath of life in me

The only one that sets me free

And you have made my soul complete

For all time (for all time)

You are my everything (you are my everything)

Nothing your love won't bring (nothing your love won't bring)

My life is yours alone (alone)

The only love I've ever known (oh no, no)

Your spirit pulls me through (your spirit pulls me through)

When nothing else will do (when nothing else will do)

Every night I pray (oh, I pray)

On bended knee (on my knee)

That you will always be

Be my everything

{chorus repeats}

Every night I pray

Down on bended knee

That you will always be

My everything

Oh my everything

I nearly melted. His voice not always in tune but gentle and filled with love and hope. You could tell right then and there that he loved me and would do anything to make me happy. It was also then that I realized that I was also falling hard, like a rock, I loved him. I had no doubt in my mind that someday I might marry him.

"So what did you think?" Ryan asked walking up to me, pulling me out of deep thought. I answered, as he gently wrapped his his strong arms around me, " It was great, like you are." Then he pulled me up for a long passionate kiss.

"Marissa, Ryan once said I didn't deserve you. At that time he was right, as much as it hurts to admit it, that ass was right. I have changed Marissa, I need you in my life and I know you need me to. You can deny it all you want but it is true!" Luke hollered into the microphone.

"This may have been Ryan's idea, but I don't care I am stealing it. I have a better song anyway, and it tells you how much I really do care for you"

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

He'll Never Be..(What I Used To Be To You)

I heard you found yourself a new man

And you say you're happy as can be

No one can play that game like you can

But does he give you everything you need

But in good time

You're gonna find

Your eyes were closed and your heart was blind

Now it's too late to change your fate

Cuz there's no way he'll ever take my place

He'll never be what I used to be to you

So if you wanna play the fool

Then make that move

And do what you gotta do

You'll never find a heart that is half as true

I guess you really never knew

But soon you'll see

That he'll never be what I used to be to you

Does he even have a notion

Of what you really feel inside

Are you going through the motions

Living a lie like you're satisfied

But late at night I realize

Something telling you it just ain't right

It's not the same

Am I to blame

When you're with him do you call my name

He'll never be what I used to be to you

So if you wanna play the fool

Then make that move

And do what you gotta do

You'll never find a heart that is half as true

I guess you really never knew

But soon you'll see

That he'll never be what I used to be to you I gave you all my love

What were you thinkin of

Guess it was just a game

It's all the same to you

Too late to try again

This story's at an end

It's time for movin on

Now what you gonna do

But in good time

You're gonna find

Your eyes were closed and your heart was blind

Now it's too late to change your fate

Cuz there's no way he'll ever take my place

He'll never be what I used to be to you

So if you wanna play the fool

Then make that move

And do what you gotta do

You'll never find a heart that is half as true

I guess you really never knew

But soon you'll see

That he'll never be what I used to be to you

I gave you all my love

What were you thinkin of

Guess it was just a game

It's all the same to you

Too late to try again

This story's at an end

It's time for movin on

Now what you gonna do

He'll never be what I used to be to you

So if you wanna play the fool

Then make that move

And do what you gotta do

You'll never find a heart that is half as true

I guess you really never knew

But soon you'll see

That he'll never be what I used to be to you

I have to admit, Luke's voice was no where near Ryan's. Luke may have been hitting every note perfectly but he didn't have the love and gentleness Ryan's had.

-Switch to Seth's Pov-

Luke destroyed the night for Ryan and Marissa! I was having such a great time tonight. I may have had 'conflicting' feelings about Summer and Anna but the night had been great. Summer and I had were going to have dinner together tomorrow as friends, just to talk since I haven't spent to much time with her lately and I felt guilty. The dance would have been a bore without them, Marissa and Ryan. Ryan's pretty awesome performance made the night a little better. Then Luke has to go and ruin it. We all left right after it. No one said anything about it the rest of the night. I think some of us were to scared to. Even after we dropped all the girls off at Marissa's since they were having a sleep over, probably talking about tonight. Ryan and I played a couple of rounds on the play station before turning in. I wondered what was going through Ryan's head. I could see absolutely no emotion, not even hatred in his face. I couldn't even tell if he wanted to punch Luke's face in, my bet is that is exactly what is going through his mind at the moment. I couldn't even figure out what Marissa was possible thinking. I felt so sorry for those two. They had a great night together and Luke had to once again stick his nose in it like a raccoon going through you trash and making a mess of things all over the road. I just hope nothing changed because of the event. Ryan couldn't handle anymore disappointments in his life, everyone and everything seems to let him down or leave. I don't want that to happen. Marissa is the best thing to happen to him since he got here, it would suck if he lost that.
