Ryan was driving down the road, he didn't know what he was going to say but he needed to say what was on his mind, she deserved it. She wasn't just hurting him but she was hurting Marissa, mostly Marissa. He was tired of hearing that he was such a bad boy, who really cares where you come from it's where you're going that really matter. The thoughts were spinning threw Ryan's head a million a second.
He finally made it, he pulled into the drive way and angerly walked up to the front door and knocked and Caitlyn answered.
"Ryan?" Caitlyn said.
Ryan tried to calm his temper down, "Hey. How are you Caitlyn?"
"Good. Umm Ryan, Marissa's not here." Caitlyn informed.
"Yeah I know, she's at my house with you're dad." Ryan replied.
"So what are you doing here then?" Caitlyn asked.
"Actually I was hoping to talk to your mother, is she home?" Ryan asked.
"Yeah. But why do you want to talk to her? Are you here to defrag mom's hard drive?" Caitlyn asked.
"Excuse me?" Ryan asked trying not to laugh.
"Luke used to come over to fix my mom's computer, is that why you're here?" Caitlyn asked.
"Uh." Ryan said trying to keep in the laughter, "No I'm here to talk to her."
"Come in, I'll go get her." Caitlyn said and left the room.
Ryan started remembering why he wanted to talk to Julie and his erge to laugh started to fade away but once he saw Julie walk towards him, he swore his face turned bright red from anger.
"Ryan? What do you want?" Julie asked.
"Do you know what you did to your daughter today?" Ryan asked slight bit of attitude in his voice.
"What are you talking about?" Julie asked.
"I'm talking about what you're lies are doing to your daughter. Do you have one ounce of morales or compassion?" Ryan said.
"Again Ryan, not knowing what you're talking about. I would never lie to my daughter." Julie said.
"Come one Julie, you used Marissa's memory loss to try to get her to break up with me blaming me for everything you did to her. You blamed me for her overdosing you blamed me for her drinking. Do you know what you're doing to your daughter." Ryan said.
"You're crazy Ryan." Julie said simply.
"I'm crazy, do you think you're daughter will ever trust you again. Do you think you'll ever have a relationship with your daughter again. I don't think so, you caused you're daughter to faint today because she was so angry with you. How could a mother be so cruel to their children." Ryan said, "I had a mother who walked out on me and my mother was more fit then you are."
Julie looked at him, "What gives you the right to speak to me that way?"
"I don't know why you don't like me, maybe it's because of where I'm from. You shouldn't judge anyone by where they came from, you of all people should know that. I love your daughter and I'm not giving up on her no matter what you say or do. The more you push your daughter about me, the further away she's going to go." Ryan said.
"You don't know what my daughter needs." Julie said.
"I know that she doesn't need someone whose going to bring her down like you've been doing her whole life. Why do you think she's so unhappy? Because of her dad? No! Because of her sister? No! Because of me? No, she was unhappy before she met me. Luke? Maybe once she found out about what he was doing but you, you're the cause of all her pain. Every last ounce of her pain. How does it feel to know that?" Ryan asked, yelling now.
"Get out of my house Ryan." Julie ordered.
"You don't deserve her, she'll never forgive you for the pain you've caused her." Ryan yelled and left slamming the door behind him
Ryan sat in the car knowing he had more to say to Julie but was affraid she would have called the cops on him if he ignored her request for him to leave. He pulled out of the drive way but pointed the car the opposite way to home. The cell phone that was left in the car started to ring, Ryan looked at the number and answered it.
"Hello?" Ryan answered.
"Ryan, thank god. You left here and you had us worried." Kirsten said.
"Sorry, I just had to let go of something that's been bugging me for a while now." Ryan said.
"IS everything ok?" Kirsten asked.
"Yeah. How is Marissa?" Ryan asked.
"She's ok, her dad is going to talk her home soon." Kirsten said.
"Ok, I think I'm going to go for a drive or take a walk for awhile. Do you need the car?" Ryan asked.
"No take as much time as you need. Would you like to talk to Marissa before they leave?" Kirsten asked.
"Yeah thanks." Ryan said and waited for Kirsten to put Marissa on the phone.
"Hello?" Marissa answered.
"Hey, how you feeling?" Ryan asked softly.
"Better now, you had me worried. Kirsten and my dad said you left so suddenly and got me all worried." Marissa replied.
"I'm sorry, I just had something I had to do." Ryan replied.
"Where did you go Ryan?" Marissa asked.
"That's not important right now but what is important is you getting your rest. When you leave with your dad make sure you rest and stop worrying about everyone and everything." Ryan suggested.
"I'll try, but only if you promise to visit me later." Marissa offered.
"Ok, go home now and stop worrying." Ryanr replied.
"You're going come right?" Marissa asked.
"I'll be there." Ryan said and they hung the phones up.
Ryan continued driving and ending up on the beach. He got out and started walking, after about just over an hour of walking he realized he was close to Seth's work and decided to stop in.
"Hey Ryan!" Seth said, "What are you doing here man?"
"I had to clear my head and I started walking and ended up here." Ryan replied
"Did you and Marissa break up again? I thought she got her memory back." Seth asked.
"No we're fine, it's your dearest grandmother that I have a problem with." Ryan said angerly.
"Oh yes, the new Julie Coo...oh no it's Nichol now." Seth smirked, "What did my favourite granny do now?"
"She was the one who tried to fill Marissa's head with stuff about me and then she denied every word. I was so angry I went over to her house called her on every scheme she pulled since I've been in Newport." Ryan informed.
"Way to go Ryan, standing up against Julie Cooper Nichol, you must have balls!" Seth said cleaning a table off.
"When Marissa heard that Julie denied everything today she was so mad that he caused her to faint." Ryan said.
"Really? How is she doing now?"
"Marissa is ok I think, well I know she will be once her mom learns how to be a mom." Ryan replied.
"Yeah I guess so." Seth said as his new boss came by. "Hey Ryan this is my pretty cool Alex, Alex my brother Ryan."
"I hope you're not looking for a job here cause having one Cohne around is enough." Alex joked.
"Nah, just needed to talk to Seth. Hope that's ok." Ryan replied.
"As long as he's doing his job I don't care what he does." Alex replied and smiled at Seth before walking away.
"Well I should probably get going, I left the about 5 miles away. I needed to clear my head before I went home so I started walking and ended up here." Ryan said.
"IF you want to wait for me, I'm finished in an hour." Seth offered.
"Nah, I think I could use the walk. See you at home." Ryan said and left.
Ryan arrived back at the car and drove home. Marissa had left with her father and Sandy and Kirsten were reading on the couch when he arrived.
"Ryan!" Kirsten said putting her book down, "Are you ok now?"
"Yeah sorry I left so quickly earlier." Ryan said.
"Did you go see Julie, because we think you did." Kirsten asked.
Ryan slightly nodded, "I just had stuff I needed to say."
"How did it go?" Sandy asked with a slight grin on his face.
"I'll just say she told me to get out." Ryan replied running his hand through his hair.
"You had Marissa worried about you, she knew you went to see her mother and thought you'd be brought home by the police." Sandy said.
Ryan slightly laughed and Seth came into the house.
"I thought I'd be home before you." Seth said throwing down the keys.
"I just go home." Ryan replied.
"Why how did you know Ryan wasn't here?" Sandy asked.
"He was down at the Bait Shop for a little while." Seth replied.
"Oh ok." KIrsten said.
"I promised Marissa I'd go see her today, Seth do you need the car?" Ryan asked.
Seth passed him the keys, "No Summer's stopping by later. But Ryan don't write off this one too."
Ryan gave him a 'don't go there' look and looked back to Kirsten and Sandy, "Do you mind if I leave?"
"No. let us know how she's doing. She still was pretty out of it when she left here." Kirsten asked.
"I will." Ryan said and left.
Ryan arrived at Jimmy's house and parked the car. He went up to the door and knocked, Jimmy opened the door.
"Ryan, hi." Jimmy said letting him in.
"Hey how's Marissa?" Ryan asked.
"She's sleeping. So Julie called a little while ago, you really got under her skin." Jimmy laughed.
"Yeah? I had a lot to say to her, didn't get it all out though." Ryan replied.
"She's pretty pissed off but I like it. You did what everyone else is affraid to do." Jimmy said.
"Well she deserves it, no mother should treat their daughter the way she does." Ryan said.
"I know, she's trying to live her life through Marissa. She wants Marissa to have everything she doesn't." Jimmy replied.
"Julie's married to the most powerful and richest man in Newport, what else could she want?" Ryan asked.
"Who knows with Julie. Well Ryan do you mind if I leave, I have some things to do and I didn't want to leave Marissa alone." Jimmy asked.
"No, go ahead. I was planning on staying a while anyways." Ryan said.
"Ok, she's been sleeping for almost two hours now. She should be up soon." Jimmy offered as he grabbed his wallet and keys.
"Ok don't worry about her, she'll be fine." Ryan said.
"I know you'll take care of her." Jimmy said and left.
Ryan didn't want to wake Marissa up so he sat down on the sofa and watched the game on tv. About 45 minutes later Marissa called out from her room.
"Dad did Ryan call?" Marissa called out and started slowly down the stairs.
"Dad?" Marissa said again before looking up and saw Ryan sitting on the couch looking up at her.
"Hey." He smiled, "Did you have a nice nap?"
"Hey, when did you get here?" Marissa asked.
"I don't know a little while ago." Ryan replied.
"Where's my dad?" Marissa asked sitting down beside him on the sofa.
"He had some stuff to do and when I got her he thought he'd get it done while someone was here with you." Ryan replied.
Marissa leaned over and gave Ryan a kiss and cudddled into him.
"How are you feeling?" Ryan asked brushing his fingers through her hair.
"Better." Marissa said softly.
"I think that movie you like it on, want to watch it?" Ryan asked.
"That one with the hooker." Ryan laughed.
"Ryan you're not supposed to think of her as a hooker, the movie is much more than that." Marissa replied, "It's called Pretty Woman."
Ryan smiled and turned the channel on to the movie. Ryan wrapped his arm around her and they both got comfortable under a blanket.
