A/N

"That was so horrible today." Marrissa said leaning into Ryan.

"How do you think I feel, I had to watch you kiss another guy." Ryan agreed looking at her with puppy dog eyes.

"I'm sorry baby." Marrissa apologized kissing him.

Ryan kissed back and they went outside to sit on the edge of the pool.

"I feel bad for Seth and Summer." Marrissa stated.

"Why?" Ryan asked.

"They have to get up at 3, for a 4 o'clock shoot."

"Oh ya."

"Do you want to go for a swim?" Marrissa asked.

"Sure." Ryan agreed pulling her into the pool.

"Ahhhhhhhh." She screamed, "I meant in my bathing suit ass."

Ryan pretended to look hurt and swam off into the deep end.

"Ryan." Marrissa complained.

Ryan just kept swimming.

"Ryan." Marrissa said now going after him, but her clothes were weighing her down. Her skinny body couldn't support all that weight in the water she was slowly sinking!

Ryan just floated there waiting for Marrissa to come back up, when she didn't he quickly dove under after her.

He was being weighed down to he realized when he found it hard to reach her. Ripping off his over-shirt and trying again he also failed. Quickly slipping off his jeans so he was in his wife beater and boxers he swam over to her slowly sinking unconscious body. Reaching her he swam upwards her in his hands, he found the process slow going so he pulled off her jean skirt and kept going. Her flimsy blouse didn't weigh much so he didn't bother taking that off.

Reaching the top of the pool he swam to the edge calling out for Sandy, Kirsten, Seth anybody. He got to the edge and pushed her onto the patio just as Kirsten came out of the house.

"Ryan what happened?" Kirsten said as she rushed to Marrissa's side.

"I jumped into the pool with her still in her clothes. She swam into the deep end and her denim skirt weighed her down she nearly drowned." Ryan said thinking as he said this what if she did drown? As he though this he bent down to Marrissa and did CPR.

Marrissa didn't wake or show any signs of doing so after Ryan finished CPR, Kirsten had already called 911 and the ambulance was on it's way.

(AT THE HOSPITAL LATER ON)

"Kirsten I'm worried." Ryan admitted, as if Kirsten couldn't already tell.

"Me too." Kirsten said instead of making some sarcastic comment like Seth would have such as 'No duh'.

"When will Jimmy be here?"

"Him and Haley are on their way as well as Julie and Caleb." Kirsten said putting an emphasis on –as well.

"Oh."

"I called Seth."

"Did he call Summer?"

"He said he wasn't looking forward to that call and you could make it."

"Seriously?"

"Ya. But I'll do it if you want."

"No I should." Ryan said walking outside so he could use his cell phone.

(IN SUMMER'S HOUSE ON HER CELL PHONE)

'Ring, ring.' The phone rang from Summer's purse.

"Hello?" Summer's voice said into the phone.

"Summer? It's Ryan."

"Chino? Why are you calling?"

"Umm."

"Is something wrong with coop?"

"Umm."

"Chino spit it out."

"Marrissa drowned, almost drowned."

"What?"

"She went in the deep end of the Cohen pool with her heavy denim shirt."

"Oh god. Where is she?"

"HOAG."

"I'll be right there."

"Summer?"

"What Chino?"

"I think she'll be okay."

"You think, you think. You know what Chino that's just not good enough." Summer said hanging up. She hadn't meant to blow up at Chino she was just concerned. By the time he had said his second um she was out the door knowing something was wrong. When he said it was Coop she had almost started crying but had held back knowing she couldn't cry while driving because she wouldn't be able to stop. She was scared she wanted to know the whole story of how Coop 'almost' drowned and planned on finding out when she got to HOAG.

(AT THE HOSPITAL IN THE WAITING ROOM)

"Where is she?" Jimmy cried running to Kirsten when he arrived at the hospital.

"Still in trauma." Kirsten said.

"Oh god."

"She'll be fine."

"Where's Ryan?"

"Outside."

"Oh. Is he okay?"

"Not really."

"How long has it been?"

"10 minutes."

"Oh."

"The doctor should come out soon."

"Ya." Jimmy said distractedly. Just then Haley came in and sat down beside Kirsten talking to her in a low voice.

(OUTSIDE THE HOSPITAL RYAN'S POV)

"Chino." Summer called approaching him.

"Summer." I said back not really wanting to deal with her but knowing I would have to eventually.

"What happened? Is she okay?"

"We don't know yet."

"Oh. What happened?"

"She was swimming..."

"She's a good swimmer."

"In her denim skirt and her tiny body couldn't keep her up."

"Why was she in her denim skirt?"

"I pulled her in the pool."

"What?"

"In the shallow end."

"Then how did she get in the deep end?"

"She was swimming after me."

"How could you swim and she couldn't?"

"I'm a lot stronger than her."

"Good point."

"Ya."

"Why were you swimming away from her?"

"She called me an ass."

"One million dollars says she wasn't being serious."

"She wasn't. We were goofing off."

"And that nearly got her killed Chino."

"What?"

"You did this."

"Did what?"

"You killed Coop."

"She's not dead."

"You don't know that and it wasn't my fault."

"Chino you know it was so don't hide it now."

"Summer?"

"How could you Chino?"

Ryan was starting to cry silent tears, "Summer I don't..."

"Don't what?"

"Don't understand, why would you blame this on me?"

"Because it's your fault." Summer finished her rant turning on her heal and coming to a reporter with a video camera.

"How long have you been there?" Summer demanded.

"Long enough." The reporter answered taking off.

"Come back here!" Summer called, but the guy jumped into a car and sped off.

"This is just great." Summer said rolling her eyes and walking into the hospital.

Ryan couldn't believe it. It was his fault, everything that Summer had just said was true. If he hadn't pulled them into the pool, or lured her into the deep end she wouldn't be hurt. He didn't think it was right that Summer had said all that to him, but now that he though about it she was right. It was all his fault. Thinking this just made the tears come faster and he leaned against the wall and closed his eyes.

(IN FOX'S STUDIO, CHRIS'S OFFICE, CHRIS'S POV)

'It has been reported that Marrissa Cooper has fallen ill. This clip was filmed outside of HOAG, earlier this evening.' The reporter said.

"Chino." Summer called approaching him.

"Summer." I said back not really wanting to deal with her but knowing I would have to eventually.

"What happened? Is she okay?"

"We don't know yet."

"Oh. What happened?"

"She was swimming..."

"She's a good swimmer."

"In her denim skirt and her tiny body couldn't keep her up."

"Why was she in her denim skirt?"

"I pulled her in the pool."

"What?"

"In the shallow end."

"Then how did she get in the deep end?"

"She was swimming after me."

"How could you swim and she couldn't?"

"I'm a lot stronger than her."

"Good point."

"Ya."

"Why were you swimming away from her?"

"She called me an ass."

"One million dollars says she wasn't being serious."

"She wasn't. We were goofing off."

"And that nearly got her killed Chino."

"What?"

"You did this."

"Did what?"

"You killed Coop."

"She's not dead."

"You don't know that and it wasn't my fault."

"Chino you know it was so don't hide it now."

"Summer?"

"How could you Chino?"

Ryan was starting to cry silent tears, "Summer I don't..."

"Don't what?"

"Don't understand, why would you blame this on me?"

"Because it's your fault." Summer finished her rants turning on her heal.

Chris turned off the TV and put his head in his hands. One of his stars was dying/dead/hurt, and two of his others were fighting. This was just great. He had to get to ET and do some damage control, but he would stop at the hospital first.

Getting up he left his office hopped in his Benz and got on the highway heading for Newport.
