A/N- Sorry I haven't been writing...I've been reeealy busy. And something
is acting weird cuz I haven't been able to read the last couple of reviews,
even though you guys can if you click on the review thing....I don't know why
it did that but its all fixed now. So sorry if you had suggestions or
anything but I can't read them. But you can review now. Thanks!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Ryan's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Marissa's words shocked me. I mean, this stuff happens to other people, not people like Theresa. Woah, wait, I think I'm forgetting that life in Chino isn't what it's like in Newport. That kind of stuff does happen to people like Theresa.
I mean, I know she was kind of bitchy about me being with Marissa, and she did kiss me and all, but she was still, well, Theresa. Nobody deserves to be raped.
Nobody
It's amazing how much thinking you can get done in 2 seconds.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~End Ryan's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The police didn't seem very surprised by this piece of information. "Are you sure about that?" The officer said
Marissa looked at her hands. "Well, no," she said in a whisper that was barely audible. "I'm not totally positive, but from the sounds it sounded pretty likely."
The officer who had been speaking this whole time stood up, soon to be followed by the other two. "Thanks for your time. We'll try our best to keep you guys posted." And with that they trudged out the door, passing Jimmy Cooper as they did so.
Jimmy walked into the pool house with a questioning glance in the police officers' direction. "What did they want?" he asked, his eyes narrowing in their direction. Jimmy had been very wary of cops since the whole money thing.
"They just needed to ask us a couple questions," Marissa answered. "Nice to see you, too."
His face softened when he turned to his daughter. "I'm sorry," he hurried over to her side and sat down next to her. "Hi sweetie, are you alright?" he whispered, stroking her hair.
"Oh ya, I'm fine. Just a little shaken up, that's all," she answered with a weak smile.
Jimmy stared fondly at his daughter for a couple moments. Ryan felt extremely awkward, so he cleared him throat, making his presence known. Jimmy jumped slightly, then turned around to see Ryan's sad smile. "Oh Ryan, I'm sorry!" he shook his head slightly. "I forgot where I was."
"It's okay Mr. Cooper," he replied, his smile warming a bit.
"Oh, that makes me feel old. Call me Jimmy." He said. Ryan nodded. "Well, if you don't mind, I think I'll take Riss-"Marissa shot her father a warning look, "Um, Marissa home now." He got up to shake Ryan's hand. "Thank you so much for everything, you are an amazing kid."
Marissa stood up next to her dad. "Um, could we have a second?" she whispered in his ear.
"Oh! Sorry, ya-um sure, I'll be leaving now. Be out in a minute hun." And with that, he stumbled out the door.
Marissa walked over to Ryan , wrapping her arms around his waist. She kissed him passionately before pulling away. "I'll see you tomorrow," she said. Ryan nodded and she walked out the door.
As soon as she was out of sight, Ryan collapsed on his bed, something he'd been doing a lot lately.
"I'd never thought I'd say this, but life was easier when I was in Chino."
