A/N: Alrighty, so, thank you so much for the reviews guys!!! I have decided that this is the last chapter. So, I'm so grateful for everything and all the reviews and I hope that you've enjoyed this story as much as I've enjoyed writing it. This final chapter is dedicated to all you reviewers and I love you all.
Converses Rolled Down: No, I don't really like Lindsay on the show, I don't like anyone who comes in between RM really. I mean she's ok but she just bugs me for some reason so I kinda make her out to the bad guy in this fic. Lol, I know, evil of me but I just don't like her all that much. And wow, I can't believe my fic might've changed your view, I feel all important, lol. Usually I don't influence people all that much, or if I do, I don't know that I do, so thanks, that makes me feel special.
Here we go!!
"You're what?"
"I'm, I'm moving." Suddenly Ryan started to feel anger and hurt inside.
"Why didn't you tell me sooner?" he found himself asking, as though she was Marissa and as though he really cared.
"Because I didn't think you cared…"
"I do, I mean we were friends, and I did care about you."
"Well you're the first of my friends to know…not that I had a lot of friends anyway…" It got quiet for a moment and then Ryan broke the silence.
"So, when are you leaving?"
"Tonight, I mean, in a couple hours." Ryan went silent again, thinking of what to say. The truth was that he did care whether she left or not, but not as strongly as he would have if it were a month ago.
"Look Lindsay," he began, "I'm sorry that it had to be weird for the past couple of weeks… but things were messed up with Marissa…and I needed to get everything in control. I'm so sorry if I hurt you, because that was never my intention."
"Ryan, its alright, because I understand now. It wasn't right for me to go after what I wanted when it was already someone else's, and I'm sorry for that and I don't blame you for doing what you did." Ryan smiled.
"I'll miss you though, I really will. You were the best physics partner I ever had," he joked. "But also one of the great people I've met in Newport, and don't think I'll ever forget ok?"
"Thanks Ryan. I won't either." He pulled her into a friendly hug and once she let go, she kissed him softly. Nothing suggesting and no intentions behind it, except to say thank you for all that he did. He smiled at her one more time, the same smile he had all the times he spent with her. With that, he walked out into the California sun, feeling better than he had and as though a great weight had been lifted. He didn't have to worry about Lindsay anymore, or her trying to steal him away and this way he didn't need to worry about his own feelings taking over. He walked down the sidewalk and headed over to the Cooper/Nichol Mansion just as he had promised Marissa he would. Walking up the driveway he felt happy, especially since now he and Marissa had nothing more to worry about. He rang the doorbell and waited for a reply.
"Ryan, hey."
"Hi."
"Is everything sorted out?"
"Yea, it is."
"So, any big news or anything?"
"No, I guess not. I mean Lindsay is moving but other than that—"
"What? She's moving?"
"Yea, tonight."
"This is sudden."
"I know, seems that way."
"I wonder why?"
"Same, she didn't mention why."
"Weird…"
"So, everything good with you?"
"Yea, it's great, just waiting for you."
"Well I'm here."
"Wanna catch up with Sum and Seth?"
"Sure, seems like a good enough day."
"K, I'll call her up." Marissa flipped open her cell phone and dialed Summer's number." "Hey Sum, wanna hang at the pier?" there was a long pause before Marissa spoke again and when she did she couldn't believe what she had just heard. "Sum, you're pregnant???"
Alright, that's the end. I really hope that you guys liked this story as well as this last chapter. I know I'm kinda leaving it as a suspense but to go off with Summer being pregnant is in a totally different direction than this fic is, but if you guys want to see my point of view of Summer being pregnant, I can do a sequel, but only if you guys want it and are willing to read it. So in this final review that you're going to give me (please review) please put how you liked the last chapter, as well as the overall story and also include if I should do a sequel. Please, I need to know!!! I'm pretty proud of actually finishing and I want to know what all you loyal reviewers thought. Thanks a bunch, I love you all and thanks for reading this and putting up with the crappy chapters at times, I really appreciate it and it's helped me so much. So please review and also remember that I do have two other fics that I'm working on, ok, go review, bubiez!!!
