As Marissa drove to chino, a million thoughts were racing through her head. Are we back together? Did we even break up in the first place? Where is he going to stay? Marissa drove to the street corner where Ryan stood to meet her.

"Hey," Ryan said with a smile.

"Hey," Marissa replied, trying to contain her excitement.

"Listen, thanks for picking me up and letting me stay with you. I'm sorry that I left in the first place to be honest," Ryan told her, looking at her straight in the eye.

"It's not a problem. With you gone, Newport seems so cold," Marissa told him, looking back at him in the eye. "But hey, the real problem is how we're gonna sneak you into the house without my mom or caleb noticing."

Marissa opened the truck of her car to help ryan put his things in it, although Ryan insisted that he could handle it. As Marissa helped him lift his giant suitcase into the truck, their hands brushed against each other. They both looked up into each other's eyes, and Ryan pulled Marissa closer to him. Their foreheads touched, and Ryan lifted Marissa's chin up a little for a kiss. It was a soft kiss, but just enough to let each other know how much they had missed and loved one another. Marissa smiled and Ryan brushed her hair off her forehead. "Come on, we better get back before your mom notices you're gone." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------

It had been two hours, and no phone call from Seth. Summer had been flipping around the channels without really watching anything. She finally stopped at an infomercial for a weight loss pill. Summer watched it for about a minute, but decided to turn off the TV all together. "Where is he? Why isn't he calling?" Summer thought. Summer laid around for a few more minutes until an idea popped in her head. "I'm lying around waiting for a phone call from some guy that just abandoned me. I must be crazy. He's the one that abandoned me, so why I am waiting around for him?" Just as she was in the middle of her train of thought, the phone rang. "It's probably that jackass Seth," she thought.

"Hello," Summer answered in an annoyed voice.

"Um, hi Summer it's Seth," Seth replied, noticing the tone of her voice.

"Oh, you mean Seth Cohen? The Seth that abandoned me?! The Seth that didn't take my feelings in consideration when he just up and left?! That Seth?! Huh!" Summer said, shouting.

"Yeah, I probably deserved that," Seth said, trying not to make her anymore upset than she already was.

"Damn straight you deserved it!" Summer said, in a fury.

"Ok, I know leaving was kind of taking the easy way out of my problems, but it was a spur of the moment thing. I never planned on it," Seth tried to explained himself.

Summer was not in a forgiving mood, and she didn't care who knew it. "Listen Cohen because I'm only going to say this once. I loved you, but now, all that love is gone. You ruined anything that we had between us by leaving me. It was your own choice, spur of the moment or not. A few hours ago, I would have forgiven you on the spot, but now, the only person I want to forgiven is myself for taking this shit for as long as I did. It's over. Have fun sailing." Summer slammed the phone down. "Serves him right," she said out loud. A few seconds later, the phone began to ring again. She knew it was Seth, but she wasn't going to answer it. They were threw, and that was that. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------

Marissa and Ryan tip toed into the door. The lights were out, and it was hard to see where they were going. Marissa barely knew the house considering she had moved in a week ago. Marissa opened the door to her bedroom, let Ryan in, and softly closed it.

"Ok, obviously you can't sleep in here because of my mom checking in on me every waking second, so I guess you can sleep in the walk in closet. It's about as big as a small bedroom anyway, so you won't be cramped." Marissa told him.

"I could sleep in the closet, or I could sleep..." Ryan gestured toward her bed with a smirk.

"Yeah, you could sleep there and have my mom walk in and call the police on you," Marissa joked.

"Come on, we'll lock the door," Ryan pleaded.

Marissa couldn't resist those baby blues. "Oh alright," she laughed, "but just for tonight."

Marissa began to pull her shirt off to change into her pajamas. Ryan took his off and was only in his wife beater and boxers. Marissa got into a tank top and short shorts. They both got into bed at the same time and pulled the covers over themselves. "Night," Ryan said kissing her on the cheek. "Night," Marissa replied sleepily. Marissa was very tired, so it didn't take her long to fall asleep. Ryan, on the other hand, stayed up for a few hours just watching her sleep. He finally went into the best sleep ever. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------
