Sandy: (On the phone) Yes, well he's medium height, not really bulky, has curly hair, what else? Oh yes he should have a small plastic horse with him, yes I know plastic horses are typically for little kids, thank you, goodbye.
Kirsten: So the coastguard is going to look for him?
Sandy: Their going to start tomorrow, they say it's too dark for them to attempt anything now. He'll be fine, he just needs a little time to clear his head and he'll be ready to come home.
Just then the phone rings.
Sandy: Hello
Officer: Is this Mr. Cohen? This is Officer McPherson
Sandy: Yes it is how may I help you officer? (Worrying Ryan had gotten into a fight with someone like Eddy)
Officer: It's about your son, Ryan Atwood. He's been in a car accident, now he himself is conscious with some bruises but nothing to bad, but his friend Theresa has apparently gone into a coma.
Sandy: Oh my god!
Kirsten: Sandy was is it?
Sandy: Just wait a second Kirsten... Officer how is the baby?
Officer: That is where things get a little complicated, you might wanna get down here and we'll explain, Ryan is at Canyon Ridge Hospital in Chino.
Sandy: We'll be there right away.
Kirsten: Sandy Cohen you tell me what's going on right now.
Sandy: Ryan's been in an accident, were going to the hospital right now. I'll go get the car started, call Marissa, tell her what happened!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Summer drove up to Marissa's palace sized house and ran up the steps with tears in her eyes.
Summer: Coop let me in (pounding on the door), Coop!!!
The door slowly opened to show a bloodshot Marissa with tasseled hair, barely keeping herself standing upright.
Marissa: Hey Summer... How's it going?
Summer: Oh my god, you're totally drunk!
Marissa: No... (Takes a second to process the information) no I'm not; I just had a little... had a little sip...
Summer: If your mom sees you like this your back to the hospital for sure lets go up to your room.
Summer drags Marissa back to her room where she tries to get her to sober up.
Marissa: So what's going on you banged on the door pretty hard...
Summer: It's nothing... (Not wanting to worry Marissa anymore)
Marissa: I know when something's wro... ahh my head (The affects of the alcohol taking place)
Summer: It's Cohen, he just took off, said now that's Ryan's gone there's nothing to stay for... I can't believe he would just leave like that you know.
Marissa: I'm so sorry Sum, guess were both out of boys huh...
Summer: Ya it's just...
She's cut off by the ringing of a phone
Marissa: Hello? Who is this?
Kirsten: Marissa is that you? Are you ok? You sound different
Marissa: Ya, I'm fine, just tired.
Kirsten: I have some news, it's Ryan, he was in a car accident, the doctors say he's going to be ok so don't worry, he'll be fine (She tried to figure out who she was trying to convince more) Sandy and I are going to the hospital right now, knowing how much he means to you I was wondering if you wanted to come along.
Marissa immediately shot up.
Marissa: I'll be right over!
Kirsten: Don't worry honey were coming to get you right now.
Marissa hung up the phone and collapsed onto her bed in tears.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sandy and Kirsten pulled up to the Nichol/Cooper driveway, Marissa was already waiting outside.
Kirsten: "Marissa are you ok?" (She could tell she was drinking)
Marissa: "I just can't believe it, if I had just believed him with Oliver," (Bursting out into tears)
Kirsten: "Honey it's not your fault, no one could have predicted what happened to today, let's just go to the hospital, once you see he's ok you'll feel better. Do your parents know were leaving?"
Marissa: "No their off on their honeymoon? They wouldn't care where I am anyway,"
Kirsten: "Ok, let's go we'll talk about your drinking on the way,"
Marissa was shocked that she had noticed the alcohol, she had tried to get as sobered us as possible before the Cohens arrived.
As they drove to the hospital Kirsten and Summer tried to make Marissa look as presentable as possible after her little alcohol fun.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
They all arrived at the hospital to find that Ryan's leg had broken and he had minor rib damage. The doctors were still working on keeping him stable and other than his guardians he could have no visitors until he was better.
Sandy: "I'm sorry we dragged you out here Marissa do you want me to take you back home?"
Marissa: "No! I'm going to wait until he's better, he was always there for me when I was in the hospital," (Or escaping the hospital she thought)
Sandy: "Ok then, I'm going to go ask the doctor about Theresa and then we'll go in,"
After being informed about the abortion and the fake baby plan by Theresa Sandy came back to the waiting room to inform the others.
Marissa: "Oh my god I can't believe her! I'm going to kill her when I see her, how could she do this to Ryan and me,"
Sandy: "You're gonna have to hold off on your killing plans, Theresa is still in a coma, one that the doctors don't expect her to come out of very soon. Kirsten and I are going to go check on Ryan, we'll talk more about this later,"
Sandy and Kirsten went in and checked on a then sleeping Ryan.
The next morning came with everyone sleeping in the waiting room, with the occasional trip to the cafeteria.
Sandy: "Marissa," (Trying to wake her), "Marissa wake up you can go see Ryan now,"
Hearing this Marissa was wide awake and ready to go.
As she walked into the hospital room she saw Ryan laying there with IV machines hooked up to him and a cast on his left leg. He had cuts and bruises over his face but still looked like her hot Ryan Atwood.
Marissa: "Hey, how are you feeling?" (She asked as she walked up to his bed)
Ryan: "Had a car accident, broke my leg, found out there was no baby, but suddenly things aren't so bad" (Giving her a look of affection)
Marissa: "I'm so glad you're ok, when I heard about your accident I didn't know what to think, don't leave me again." (Now wrapping her arms around him)
Ryan was surprised that she had taken him back so easily, he expected her to be pissed for him leaving.
Ryan: "I didn't want to leave, the last thing I thought about before the accident was you, and coming back. I didn't want to be with Theresa,"
Ryan felt awkward talking about her, he didn't know how to feel about the pregnancy other than angry.
Ryan: "Did they tell you about the baby?"
Marissa: "Ya, I just can't believe she would do that to you, to us! I didn't know what to do without you."
Ryan: "Don't worry; I'm here to stay now, with you. I love you Marissa Cooper."
Marissa couldn't help laughing, thinking about the first time she said I love you, and Ryan's polite thank you.
Marissa: "And I love you Ryan Atwood."
They cuddled until visiting hours were over, though he would be released the next day Marissa still felt alone without him.

Seth awoke to a bright morning sun completely drenched, just floating along with his overturned boat. All his items had been lost in the storm, including his favorite comics and most importantly, Captain Oats.
Seth: "What did I get myself into, I could have been home right now with Summer, eating pudding and playing my ninja game. I'll just have to hope the coastguard comes bye, or at least a package of food, I'm hungry."
Seth waited a few more hours until a huge Yacht appeared in the distance.
Seth: "Hey! Over here! Yo! Boy lost at sea!"
He continued calling until the Yacht pulled up and the crew sent down a rope.
Seth: (Climbing into the Yacht) "Thanks I thought I would be out there for days, you wouldn't believe how boring it is out there."
Seth finally stopped babbling and looked up to see who had rescued him.
Seth: "Mr. Roberts!?!?!"
