Marissa got to the stop sign at the corner and was looking back thinking, "was that Ryan?" She wasn't sure he had run outside but she thought she saw him. Questions were soon filling her head, but she wasn't sure what to think. All Marissa knew was that she had to find out some way to explain to Ryan what had happened, and she had to get him to listen.

Marissa drove back to her house and ran into Caleb heading out the front door as she was heading inside.

Caleb: Oh, hello Marissa.

Marissa: Caleb.

Caleb: Your mother and I are planning dinner tonight, around seven; you'll be there?

Marissa: I guess.

Marissa walked into the house as Caleb watched her go and then turned back towards his car and drove off to work. Marissa made it inside of her room without running into her mother. Marissa walked in and immediately saw the bottle still sitting in the same place. Marissa walked over to it and grabbed it off the table; she then walked out onto the balcony and threw it as hard as she could off her balcony. Marissa stood still until she heard the sounds of glass breaking in the distance. Marissa then slowly walked back into her room and eventually crashed down on the bed in tears.

The following morning Ryan and Seth sat at the table in the kitchen eating breakfast.

Seth: Come on man, you're brooding…something happened.

Ryan just shot a look at Seth.

Seth: All right man, don't talk about it.

Seth stood up and walked to the kitchen island and picked out the Arts and Leisure section of the L.A. Times and sat back down at the table with Ryan and began to read. After about five minutes of silence, there was a knock at the door. Ryan stood up and walked over to the sink, he rinsed off his dishes and placed them in the sink and then walked out the side doors towards the pool house. Seth, who thought Ryan had got up to get the door was suddenly distracted from his paper when he saw Ryan walk out the doors. About a second later there was another knock on the door, and Seth looked over towards the door and then back out at the pool house again. Seth slowly stood up and folded his paper and placed it on the table and then made his way over to the door and opened it.

Seth: Oh, hey Marissa.

Marissa: Hey.

Seth: Ryan's out back…

Marissa: (Interrupting) Actually…I…um…

Seth gave her a concerned look.

Marissa: Are you guys going to the…

Seth: Party? Yeah.

Marissa: Ryan…

Seth: (Interrupting) I'm pretty sure he's going.

Marissa opened her mouth like she was going to say something again, and then just smiled at Seth.

Marissa: Thanks.

Marissa turned to walk back down the driveway towards her car. Seth who had been watching her trying to figure out what was going on between her and Ryan, suddenly remembered something.

Seth: Hey Marissa.

Marissa turned and looked towards Seth.

Marissa: What's up?

Seth: Well, I…um, I just wanted to apologize actually.

Seth paused for a second and Marissa just looked at him.

Seth: For what I said to you before the wedding, I was just pissed off and…

Marissa: Seth…it's okay.

Seth: You know what, it's really not. It wasn't your fault, I'm sorry.

Marissa: Well, thank you Seth.

Seth just smiled and gave a nod of his head.

Marissa: So I guess I'll see you tomorrow then.

Seth: Yeah…I'll uh…try to make sure Ryan goes.

Marissa smiled and got into her Jeep and pulled down the driveway.
