"SO what exactly am I supposed to tell Dr. Kim when Ryan shows up late to the first day of school?"
Kirsten spit at Sandy. Who looked flustered to say the least.
"Ryan's brother called this morning. He's upset."
Suddenly worried Kirsten went to Sandy "Where is he?" She demanded, sounding like the mother he knew her to be, loving and protective.
"He's out on the porch." Sandy said trying to block the images of Ryan and Marissa's activities on the porch out of his head. He knew if ever he had salted Ryan's game that was probably it.
Kirsten tried to move past Sandy who stood blocking the doors to the porch but couldn't get around him. He was to lost in though to move, and she was not strong enough to move him by force.
"I'm gonna . . ." Kirsten started trying to push Sandy but Sandy responded with a nervous passion that always made her smile. It was a quality that both the Cohen men had.
"No umm he's NAKED. It's a kid thing sweetheart. He likes to be naked."
Kirsten looked at him, then looked out the window behind him and saw Ryan standing their holding Marissa. She wasn't sure what made her husband suddenly shy about affection but she was to worry about Ryan to give it much thought.
'Ugh!" Kirsten exclaimed as she pushed him with all her might. He moved and she slid into his spot tripping slightly from her momentum. "You and your son!"
Ryan wasn't sure if what he felt towards Marissa was love. If his feelings of duty compassion respect and attraction added up to love was anyone's guess. He had never been in love never told anyone besides his mother that he loved them, but right now having Marissa curled around him, protecting him he at least felt like he was loved.
His mother was never one to comfort him. She was never sober enough, never maternal enough he guessed. He couldn't stop his mind from going back to his fathers sentencing, when he was 6. It was his first memory.
Marissa noticed Ryan left. He went from gently holding her, to clutching her tightly. It was almost as if he was trying to pull her inside him.
Marissa just wasn't sure she was ready for that. Was she ready to be inside him? He was dark, darker than she knew that she was sure of. She wasn't ready for his past. She wanted to be there for him, help him but his past was larger and more seedy and painful than she knew how to cope with.
A/N: okay have a whole flash back I'm trying to fine tune as well as some plot issues I'm trying to work out! So I figure we all should take a vote! With the understanding that I have no problem with splitting them up at least in this little world( Not that I would ever want that in the show bite my tongue) though usually I'm partial to happy endings! What do you think should to conflict be:
Pauly Shore serious (really shallow and stupid easily worked through)
or
7th Heaven Serious (Not at all pleasant, should be taken seriously requires a lot of work but I'll make it look easy and it will al be wrapped up nicely in an hour)
or
Schindler's List serious (Pain heartache tragedy many a mortal sin involved, extremely difficult to work through possible impossible at the least permanently change everyone involved)
