Ryan knocked on Marissa's door.
"Come in." Marissa called out.
Ryan entered her room and smiled softly at her but didn't get the same response from her.
"How are you feeling? You're dad asked me to bring this up to you since you were hungry." Ryan said putting the tray beside her on the bed.
"Ryan I think we should break up." Marissa said not really feeling any emotiion for him.
Ryan looked at her stunned, not really believing the words from her mouth, "What?"
"I was talking to people about our relationship and I realized that loosing my memory is probably the best thing to happen to me. It gave me the chance to see things without any emotion and I don't think I we're a good match." Marissa said.
"Who were you talking to?" Ryan asked, "Because from my point of view we're a great match."
"It doesn't matter, I want you to leave Ryan." Marissa said.
Ryan studied her and knew that there wasn't anything he could do. He looked at her, "I love you Marissa."
As he said that he walked out of the room, shutting the door behind him.
"Ryan? Where are you going? You didn't stay long." Jimmy said stopping him before he was out the door.
"Marissa just broke up with me." Ryan said still stund.
"What? Why would she do that?" Jimmy asked.
"She said she was talking to people and that loosing her memory was the best thing to happen to her because it allowed her to see things differently." Ryan said trying to fight the tears.
"Ryan I'm sure once she regains her memory she'll realize what she did. I'm going to go talk to her, why don't you give me a call later on tonight." Jimmy said.
Ryan nodded and left. Jimmy immediately went up to Marissa's room to see what happened.
"Kiddo, did you eat anything?" Jimmy asked entering her room.
"I will, I just needed a moment before I started eating." Marissa replied.
Jimmy sat down next to her, "So Ryan left pretty fast, what happened."
"I broke up with him." Marissa replied.
"Why? Once you get your memory back you're going to regret it baby." Jimmy said.
"Why would you say that? Don't you know how much pain he's caused me." Marissa said.
"What pain? I thought you couldn't remember anything." Jimmy said.
"I can't but mom was telling me everything that has happened because of Ryan, I don't know why I stayed with him this long." Marissa said.
"What exactly did your mom tell you?" Jimmy asked.
"She told me about Mexico and that I overdosed, she mentioned my drinking, Ryan's jealousy over me getting him suspended from school and to top it all off he got someone else pregnant while we were together." Marissa said, "I can't believe I stayed with him for so long."
"Marissa I can't believe she told you that. Those things did happen but they have stories behind them." Jimmy said, "All those things weren't Ryan's fault."
"What do you mean? How weren't the?" Marissa asked.
"When you went to Mexico I called you and told you that your mother and I were getting a divorce and you caught your boyfriend at the time, Luke, cheating on you with one of your best friends, Holly." Jimmy said.
"What?" Marissa said, "So that is why I overdosed in Mexico?"
"Ryan was with you in Mexico but he was the one who found you in an alley and brought you to a hospital, he save your life kiddo." Jimmy said.
"What about my drinking or his jealousy?" Marissa asked.
"You were drinking before you met Ryan baby." Jimmy said, "And the jealousy thing is a long story."
"Can you tell me about it, I hate not being able to remember and if I just did something I'm totally going to regret later I want to know." Marissa said.
"When you were going to counselling you met this boy, Oliver, who was going to counselling as well. You two became friends and Ryan didn't trust him. Eventually it came between you two and you broke up with him." Jimmy said.
"Because of his jealousy?" Marissa asked.
"Yes, you couldn't handle it any more. Ryan was still determined to find out as much as he could about Oliver so he broke into the school files and that was why he got suspended from school. You and Oliver were hanging out all the time after the break up and you were at Oliver's place when you realized that Ryan was right all along. When you called Ryan to come get you Oliver pulled a gun out. Ryan came with Sandy and Oliver was taken away." Jimmy said.
"Why would mom make it sound like he is such a bad person?" Marissa asked.
"Your mom doesn't like him because she doesn't think he's good enough for you. Ryan is from Chino and he doesn't have a very impressive past but since the Cohens took him in, he's been determined to turn his life around. And he's crazy about you Marissa and from what I thought you were crazy about him too." Jimmy said.
"What about Ryan getting another girl pregnant." Marissa asked.
"Oh ok, well after the whole Oliver situation you and Ryan didn't get back together for awhile. His friend showed up in Newport and Ryan started spending time with her. I guess while the two of you weren't together Ryan had sexual relations with her and after the two of you go back together he found out that she was pregnant." Jimmy said, "Ryan moved back to Chino but the two of you continued to see eachother. After about a month Ryan moved back and found out the baby wasn't his." Jimmy said.
Marissa was shocked, "He must be completely devastated."
"Yup, you two have never been happier." Jimmy replied.
"He probably won't want me back now that I broke up with him. He didn't take me back right after the Oliver thing." Marissa said.
"I think this is a total different situation." Jimmy said.
"Maybe I should just wait till my memory comes back, if it ever will." marissa sighed.
"Do what ever you want honey, why don't you take a nap and rest." Jimmy said getting up.
Marissa finished her lunch and fell asleep. She was woken up by Summer who came to visit.
"Coop Hey." summer said entering her room.
Marissa looked over at her and smiled.
"How are you feeling today?" Summer asked.
"We tell eachother everything don't we?" Marissa asked.
"Of course we do Coop, why are you ok?" Summer asked.
"I broke up with Ryan today." Marissa said.
"What?" Summer replied.
"Did I do the wrong thing?" Marissa asked.
"Coop, you and Chino are like the perfect couple." Summer said, "What made you do that."
"Just something someone said to me." Marissa replied.
"I know you're my best friend Coop but Chino must be miserable." Summer informed.
"Yeah he looked as if he was going to die when he left earlier." Marissa said.
"Poor Chino, I should call Cohen and get him to check up him." Summer said.
Julie came into the room as Summer and marissa were chatting.
"Summer honey, can I talk to Marissa alone?" Julie said.
"Sure, I'll come see you tomorrow Coop." Summer said.
Marissa brought up the conversation she had with her father. Julie turned everything around again making Marissa believe she did the right thing with Ryan.
Marissa wouldn't talk about Ryan to her father or Summer when they came to her room. Ryan called a few times to see how she was but Marissa wouldn't speak to him.
Ryan tried to keep his spirits up hoping that once she regained her memory things would be different but as the days went on his spirits started to fade.
It was now a week after the accident, Marissa still hadn't regained her memory and Ryan hadn't spoke to her since she broke up with him. Seth and Summer spent the evening with Ryan, trying to get his spirits back.
"So Chino, we just ordered a pizza. Hope you're hungry." Summer said sitting down next to Seth on the couch.
"I'm not that hungry guys but thanks anyway." Ryan replied.
"You might be when it gets here, we also rented a movie and you're watching it with us." Seth said.
"It's not you're guys responsibility to change my mood." Ryan said.
"You're our friend Ryan and we don't like seeing you so depressed." Summer said as he cell phone rang.
Summer saw who was calling and told the boys she was taking it outside.
"Coop?" Summer said as she answered. Marissa hadn't called her since the accident.
"Sum, can you come over?" Marissa asked.
"Sum?" Summer thought, "Coop are you back?" Summer asked.
"Just come, fast." Marissa replied.
Summer went back into the house.
"Sorry guys I have to go somewhere, I'll be back as soon as I can." Summer said.
Seth got up and walked Summer out, "Where are you going?"
"That was Coop, she wants me to go over. She called me Sum and I think she may have her memory back. Don't tell Chino though, just in case she doesn't." Summer said giving Seth a kiss before jumping into her car.
When she got to Marissa's she immediately ran up to Marissa's room. She found Marissa lying in bed, crying.
"Coop? What's the matter?" Summer asked sitting on the bed beside her.
"Sum!" Marissa said still crying and wrapping her arms around Summer.
"Coop, what's the matter? Did you get your memory back?" Summer said holding her friend.
"I was reading my journal that I found today and it slowly came back. How did I let my mother ruin things with Ryan?" Marissa cried.
"Omg Coop, you're back!" summer said happily.
"I broke up with Ryan, how could I have done that?" Marissa asked.
"Coop don't worry honey, you just were confused. Things are going to be ok." Summer said.
"Ryan is never going to trust me again." Marissa said.
"Yes he will, once he knows you're back he's going to be so happy. He was a mess all week Coop." Summer informed.
"Is he mad at me Sum?" Marissa asked.
"He's very angry, but not at you." Summer said.
"Who is he mad at?" Marissa asked.
"Your mom." Summer replied, "Coop let's get you ready and go out. You haven't been out of the house in a week."
