2 Days after the last update. The weekend has finally come and Sean is still tagging along wherever Marissa goes. Holly has become even nicer to Ryan over the last few days. Caleb's trial begins today; the press has picked up on the story of Kirsten testifying and the D.A. having documents that apparently can take Caleb down.

It's just about noon when Marissa knocks on the door of the Cohen's.

Ryan opens the door.

Ryan: "Hey," (Smile on his face)

Marissa: "Hi," (Giving him a kiss) "So what do you want to do on the first day of our first weekend of the year,"

Ryan: "Uh, actually I have a lot of homework,"

Marissa's smile faded.

Marissa: "Oh, ok,"

Ryan: "I can always do it later though, let's go to the pier," (Kissing her)

Marissa: "Great! Go get Seth and Summer, I'll call Sean,"

Ryan: "Sean?" (Giving an uneasy look)

Marissa: "Ya, he's new here he needs someone to hang out with on the weekends,"(Then notices Ryan's uncomfortable look) "Don't worry Ryan, you have nothing to be jealous of," (Giving him another kiss)

Ryan: "Ya, I know, Sean needs friends... I'll go get Seth,"

Marissa calls Sean and the 5 of them go off to the pier.

Meanwhile in the court room.

Man: "Mr. Nichol do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing else so help you god?"

Caleb: "Of course, I'm not some kind of criminal,"

Judge: "You'll have plenty of time to defend yourself later Mr. Nichol," (Picking up some documents) "Mr. Nichol you are being charged with unethical business practices, illegal use of company profits, and intentional bankrupting of the Newport Group. How do you plead?"

Caleb: "Innocent your honor,"

Judge: "Well there are no surprises here, this preliminary is concluded, the trial will officially begin tomorrow... good day"

As they started getting up the attorney's began their chatter.

D.A. to Sandy: "I don't even know why this was necessary they did the same thing at his bail hearing,"

Sandy: "No one said we have to like the system,"

As they are talking a guard walks up to Kirsten.

Guard: "Ma'm, I was told to deliver this to you,"

He hands her a folded up piece of paper. Kirsten walks slightly away from Sandy and opens it.

The letter reads: "You've given me no choice, I hope Sandy understands," ----- Love Caleb,"

Kirsten stares hard at the letter and the crumbles it.

Sandy approaches her.

Sandy: "What did the guard want?"

Kirsten looks up at him with tears in her eyes.

Kirsten: "Sandy we need to talk,"

Down at the pier there are streamers everywhere with the school's name on them and lots of stands being put up.

Seth: "What is all this?"

Summer: "Ya, it seems like some sort of charity event, but Marissa is in charge of those," (Giving a questioning look to Marissa)

Marissa: "Ya, Holly is in charge of this one, she convinced the principal we needed a little something before the carnival,"

Ryan: "Maybe we should go somewhere else then,"

Marissa: "No! I can deal with Holly, she's not keeping me away from the pier,"

Just then Sean runs up.

Sean: "Guy's you won't believe this come on!!!"

Everyone looks at him and follows farther into the pier where Holly is directing a booth. They see banners of Julie Cooper and banners of Luke placed next to each other with hearts in between.

Ryan: "Oh no,"

Marissa is frozen in shock as she stares at everyone that is looking at the banners and Holly who is standing on stage with a microphone.

Holly: "Well if it isn't Marissa Cooper, Hi Marissa," (Waving off the stage) "How's your mom been doing? Has she slept with Ryan yet?"

Marissa just burst and tears and ran off.

Summer had to be held back from charging Holly.

Summer: "You btch what the hell's wrong with you?"

As Summer yelled at Holly Ryan raced after Marissa leaving Sean standing there smiling and thinking about how he got his information.

Two nights earlier at the Cohen's everyone was hanging out

Seth: "I'm so bored..."

Summer: "Can it Cohen, you're not the one with 4 hours of homework,"

Ryan: "I can't believe we have this much homework on the first week of school,"

Seth: "I wonder how Luke's new school is going?"

Everyone in the room froze and looked at Seth then at Marissa.

Marissa: "Guy's it's ok,"

Sean: "Who's Luke?"

Seth: "Luke was Marissa's boyfriend, then after they broke up..."

Ryan: "Seth! Shut your mouth dude,"

Marissa: "It's ok Ryan, I trust Sean, we can tell him,"

After that Marissa told Sean what happened between Luke and Julie.

The Present

Ryan finally caught up to Marissa.

Ryan: "Marissa wait," (Grabbing her arm)

Marissa: "Ryan everyone knows!" (Tears now streaming down her face) "How did they find out!?"

Ryan: "I don't know, it's going to be ok though," (Pulling her into him for a long hug) "Want me to take you home?"

Marissa: "I don't want to go home right now; can we just go to the pool house?" (Through sobs)

Ryan: "Ok, let's go,"

As they start walking off Sean finds them.

Sean: "Marissa are you ok?"

Ryan: "She's fine, were just going to the pool house," (A little agitated)

With that they walk off.

Sean whips out his cell phone.

Sean: "It worked, she's crushed and their heading to the pool house right now; I'll be ready to swoop in when you're done,"

Sean hung up smiling, thinking of the new girlfriend he was gonna get.

Sandy and Kirsten drove home in silence. As they entered the house Sandy finally spoke.

Sandy: "Ok, honey what did you want to talk about, because whatever it is I can see you're very upset,"

Kirsten decided to tell him, that it was better for him to find out about the abortion from her than from Caleb.

Kirsten: "Sandy I have something very important to tell you... my dad has been trying to blackmail me to keep me out of this trial,"

Sandy: "What! That bstard, what does he have on you? You didn't do anything while working for the company did you?"

Kirsten: "No, nothing like that... Sandy you better sit down for this,"

Sandy: "Ok I'm getting very worried,"

Kirsten: "I just want you to know I love you," (Now starting to tear up) "It's time I told you why I broke up with Jimmy... A few months before the breakup I found out I was pregnant,"

She gave Sandy a moment to process this.

Kirsten: "My father made me give up the baby and break up with Jimmy... I never even told him,"

They sat for minutes neither saying a thing.

Kirsten: "Say something Sandy,"

Sandy: "I just can't believe you'd keep something like this from me! From Jimmy! I thought we told each other everything!" (Sandy eyes then widened) "So you didn't break up with Jimmy because you didn't like him anymore did you.... You would still be with him if your dad didn't force you to break up! Do you still love him!?!?"

Kirsten was just crying throughout Sandy's entire speech.

Kirsten: "Of course not! Please! I'm sorry it's just not something I like to talk about,"

Sandy: "I need time to think," (Leaving and slamming the door behind himself)

Ryan and Marissa arrived at the pool house and went inside.

Ryan: "Are you ok?" (Laying her down on the bed)

Marissa: "I just wish none of this ever happened, why is Holly like that?"

Ryan: "I'm so sorry," (Kissing her) "I'm going to go get you something to eat,"

As Ryan exits the pool house he bumps into Holly.

Ryan: "What are you doing here?"

Holly: "I just came to see how you're doing? I mean when I said those things I didn't mean to involve you in it,"

Ryan: "Sell it somewhere else Holly, you really hurt Marissa," (Trying to brush past her)

At this time Marissa has been wondering where Ryan is and opens the pool house to see him talking to Holly.

Holly notices the door unlike Ryan who has his back to it.

Holly: "Well thanks for giving me the information on Luke, we really ruined Marissa," (Talking loudly so Marissa could hear) "I'll see you tonight," (Walking off)

Ryan: "What?" (Confused as to what she was talking about)

He then hears Marissa gasp and turns to see her in even more tears.

Marissa: "How could you Ryan!?!"

Ryan: "What! No Marissa!"

It was too late... she had ran off.

Marissa kept running down the street not knowing where she was going when a car pulled up next to her.

Sean jumped out.

Sean: "Marissa!"

Marissa: "Sean? What are you doing here?"

Sean: "I heard Holly talking about Ryan down at the pier and thought you could use someone... you did know right?"

Marissa: "I just found out..." (Crying some more)

Sean: "Come on, I'll take you home," (Leading her into the car with a smile on his face)
