Marissa and Sean are at his house watching movies on the couch. Sean decides it's time to make his move.

Sean starts getting close.

Sean: "You know it's been two weeks since you and Ryan broke up," (Getting closer) "I think we should, you know..." (Smiling)

Marissa: "I'm just not ready yet,"

Sean: "Come on, just give me a little kiss or something," (Leaning in and trying to kiss her)

Marissa: "I'm just not comfortable," (Pushing him off)

Sean: "Don't worry, I'll make you comfortable," (Pushing himself on her)

Marissa: "Stop it,"

Sean: "You know you like it," (Kissing her)

Marissa: "Stop, really Sean," (He keeps kissing) "Get off!" (Pushing him onto the floor) "I told you no!"

Sean: "Whoa, sorry I thought you were just playing hard to get,"

Marissa: "Maybe I should I go," (Getting up)

Sean: "No, please I'm sorry I was being an idiot, give me another chance, please" (Giving a sly smile)

Marissa had enough of this.

Marissa: "I'll talk to you tomorrow when you're a little more normal," (Leaving the house and slamming the door behind her)

Sean: "Crap... maybe Holly will want to hang out," (Dialing her number)

Marissa starts driving around not really knowing where she wanted to go. Suddenly she felt the urge to go and talk to Ryan.

Marissa: "I can't.... after what he did I can't just go see him,"

She fought herself over the idea but before she knew it she was parked in front of the Cohen's house and looking towards the pool house. After sitting in the car and staring at the pool house for about 30 minutes she finally builds the courage to go in. She decided to go up to the house first.

Kirsten opens the door.

Kirsten: "Hi Marissa, haven't seen you around lately,"

Marissa: "Ya, I just came by to talk to Ryan, is he home?"

Kirsten: "I think so, why don't you wait in the living room and I'll have Seth go get him,"

Marissa walked into the house and sat down. As she sat there she realized this was not the same loving house she was at two weeks ago. The husband and wife were not joking and kissing, Seth wasn't sitting there playing video games while Ryan sat on the couch rolling his eyes. As she thought about this Seth came down.

Seth: "Marissa?"

Marissa: "Hey," (Uncomfortable)

Seth: "What are you doing here?"

Marissa: "I came to see Ryan, I thought about what you said to me at the Crab Shack and you're right... we do need to talk,"

Seth: "That's great, he might be in the pool house,"

Marissa: "Might be?" (Giving a questioning look)

Seth: "Ryan's been kinda in and out of the house lately at odd hours... it's kinda hard to keep track of him... not like my parents would notice," (Suddenly with an angry face)

Marissa: "Is everything ok between them?"

Seth: "I don't know... but don't worry about it, go talk to Ryan,"

Marissa went outside to the pool house to talk to Ryan. As she opens the door she can smell the strong odor of alcohol.

Marissa: "Ryan, hello? Anyone home?"

Figuring he wasn't she let herself in to wait for him. Inside she was shocked to see a trashed room, clothes thrown about, and empty beer bottles in the waste basket. Actually the only thing still in its place was the picture of her and Ryan at Cotillion. She moved some clothes and sat on the edge of the bed waiting for Ryan, still not sure what to say.

---Sean's House---

He had convinced Holly to come over by telling her there was something important he needed to tell her about Ryan and Marissa.

Holly walked into the house.

Holly: "What's going on?"

Sean: "Hey, what's going on is when we made this deal you said I would get Marissa... you didn't say she was such a boring goodie goodie,"

Holly: "You called me here for that? Sorry a deal's a deal,"

Sean: "Well I want to make a new deal or else I tell both Ryan and Marissa what we did," (Giving an evil smile)

Holly: "You wouldn't... she'd be mad at you too,"

Sean: "I don't care, she's no fun anyways,"

Holly: "What the hell do you want," (Giving a look that could kill)

Sean: "What I want is really simple... you go out with me so I get popular or else Ryan and Marissa find out everything and that would probably have them getting back together, so it's your choice,"

Holly: "Fine... as long as Marissa's relationship stays broken,"

Marissa had sat in Ryan's room for 3 hours now just thinking, it was now 1 in the morning and though she wanted to go she was worried for him and decided to stay.

Opening her cell phone.

Marissa: "Hey dad... I'm gonna be at Summer's tonight ok? Thanks I'll talk to you later, love you, bye,"

Hanging up the phone.

Marissa: "Where are you Ryan,"

The door started opening, Marissa got up expecting Ryan but it was only Seth.

Seth: "You're still here?"

Marissa: "Ya, I was worried for him,"

Seth: "Don't be... this is normal, don't expect him back till like 3 or 4,"

Marissa: "That doesn't sound like Ryan,"

Seth: "Well it's the only Ryan we have now, you know today was really weird, at the pier. It's like were all living our lives happily in the group and he's an outsider looking in"

Marissa: "Seth if you're trying to make me feel bad,"

Seth: "No, I just want to know what he's like now," (Getting up) "Are you going to wait up all night for him,"

Marissa: "Ya I guess so,"

Seth: "Ok, see you tomorrow,"

---Jimmy's Place---

Due to some last minute construction Jimmy has not moved into his new place yet.

Hailey: "Who was that on the phone?"

Jimmy: "It was Marissa, she won't be coming home tonight," (Smiling)

Hailey: "And if I remember correctly Caitlyn is at a sleep over," (Slowly kissing him)

Jimmy: "I think you're right," (Laughing)

They start heading off to the bedroom.

Jimmy: "Hailey wait,"

Hailey: "What is it?"

Jimmy: "I wanted to ask you something,"

Hailey: "You can ask me anything," (Kissing him)

Jimmy: "I wanted to ask you in the new house but I just can't wait," (Getting down on one knee) "Will you marry me?" (Smiling brightly)

Hailey just stood there in shock.

Hailey: "Jimmy... I don't know, this is just such a big shock,"

Jimmy's smile immediately disappeared.

Jimmy: "I thought we were happy,"

Hailey: "We were... I mean we are, it's just, isn't it soon? I mean..."

Jimmy: "What?"

Hailey: "Look I just need some time to think about it," (Running out of the house)

Jimmy just sat right there against the wall sighing deeply.

There was a knock at the Cohen's door. Sandy went to open it.

Sandy: "Hailey, what a pleasant surprise at 1 in the morning,"

Hailey: "Is Kirsten here?"

Sandy: "Ya I guess, were still working on stuff for the trial,"

Hailey: "Oh ya, the take down Caleb Nichol campaign,"

Sandy didn't feel like talking.

Sandy: "She's in the kitchen," (Walking upstairs to his room)

Hailey walks into the kitchen.

Hailey: "Hey,"

Kirsten: "Hailey? Is something wrong?" (Hugging her)

Hailey: "I should be asking you the same thing, Sandy's was acting really... un-Sandy like,"

Kirsten: "We've been having some problems... but that's not important right now, what's up?"

Hailey: "It's Jimmy... he asked me to Marry him,"

Kirsten: "Oh my god Hailey!" (Hugging her but then seeing Hailey's look) "What's wrong?"

Hailey: "I didn't exactly say yes,"

Kirsten: "Well you love him don't you?"

Hailey: "Ya but... I just can't stand the thought of being tied down becoming a Newport wife...like..."

Kirsten: "Like me?" (Giving her a little smile)

Hailey: "No offense... really,"

Kirsten: "Don't worry about," (Hugging Hailey) "Look you can't be afraid of growing up all your life,"

Hailey: "I know..."

Kirsten: "And Jimmy's a great guy and I've never seen anyone make him happier,"

Hailey was starting to smile now.

Hailey: "I guess you're right... but I doubt he'd even want to marry me after how I left things,"

Kirsten: "Don't worry tomorrow morning we'll both go down there and you two can talk, in the mean time I'll go get the guest bedroom ready,"

Hailey: "Thanks Kirsten," (This time being the one giving the hug)

Marissa had fallen asleep when she finally heard a car pulling up; she looked over at the clock to see it was 5 in the morning.

She could hear Ryan's footsteps as he drunkly tried to walk through to the pool house, accidentally kicking things and knocking them over on the way. He barely made it to the door when he collapsed. Marissa immediately ran over and opened the door and began dragging him in.

Marissa: "Ryan are you ok?" (Getting no response she just continued trying to wake him) "How much did you have to drink," (Shaking him)

Ryan: "Mmmm"

Marissa: "Great... and he preaches to me about drinking,"

She could only drag him inside; he was just too heavy to put on the bed. Marissa laid him in the middle of the floor and went and got some blankets for him. After covering him she looked at the guy she had fallen in love with.

Marissa: "Ryan what are you doing to yourself, is it because of me?" (Stroking his hair) "I know you probably aren't going to here a word I say but I have to tell you... I never fell out of love with you,"

Getting no response she just continued.

Marissa: "The more I think of it the less I believe you did that to me," (She suddenly felt terrible... Ryan wasn't like this... he would never turn on her, look at what her mistrust had done to him, she never thought she would have to be taking care of a passed out Ryan)

As she was thinking this Ryan began to stir.

Ryan: "Marissa?" (Giving a questioning look)

Marissa: "Shhh go back to sleep, we'll talk tomorrow,"

With that he passed out again and she laid down next to him slowly falling to sleep.
