Chapter 5
Ryan rolled out of bed and pulled on a pair of dirty jeans. He pulled on a wife beater and headed to the kitchen. He glanced at the newspaper as he reached into the fridge. He sighed, "another beautiful day, 75 and sunny." Ever since he'd left Newport, he just never appreciated the good days anymore. In Newport, he was allowed to enjoy the nice days. Ryan then began to think about Newport. In a way, his going to the Cohen's was a worse punishment than Trey's. Now that knew how amazing life really could be, he had to spend the rest of his life longing for how things once were. At least Trey could look forward to getting out of jail, but Ryan's life was his jail now, nowhere to go, no possibilities. Ryan reached into his back pocket and pulled out two tattered pictures. One was the Christmas card with the Cohens, and the other was a picture of Marissa and himself. Anna had taken the picture of them at the carnival. He loved the picture, he was kissing Marissa on the cheek, and she was laughing and looking right at the camera. Ryan stared at Marissa for a few minutes. She gazed back at him, never stopped smiling.
Ryan carried these pictures everywhere. It made him feel like he was a little closer to home. He needed to talk to her. He wanted her to know that he was thinking of her always. He quickly pulled his cell phone out of his pocket and dialed the familiar number. It rang once, Ryan's heart was pounding, what was he going to say? It rang again, Ryan was nervous, and he was nervous that he was nervous.
"Ryan?" Theresa called from the hallway.
Ryan jumped as he heard his name, and closed the phone quickly. He sighed deeply and went to see what Theresa needed.
