The movie was already started and Marissa had to fill him in on the beginning so he wouldn't be lost. About a half hour later Ryan's stomach started to grawl.
"Do you want me to get you something to eat?" Marissa asked.
"You stay here and watch the movie, I'll get something." Ryan replied, "You should eat something too. You probably haven't eaten since this morning."
"Yeah that would be great, thanks." Marissa said.
Ryan got up and went to the kitchen. He looked in the fridge and then in the cupboard. He had no idea what to make. He then heard Jimmy come in.
"Hey kiddo how are you feeling?" Jimmy asked.
"Better, you brought food!! Ryan was just about to make us something." Marissa said.
Ryan appeared and smiled, "I think you just saved me!"
Jimmy laughed, "I hope you like Chineese."
"Love it." Ryan replied and went to grab plates and utensils.
Marissa got up and sat down at the table.
"What do you guys want to drink?" Ryan called out.
"Water." Marissa replied. Jimmy second that and Ryan returned with three glasses of water.
"Do you think you're well enough to go back to school Monday?" Jimmy asked.
"I think so, I've missed a week already. I can't miss anymore." Marissa said.
"Are you feeling up to starting back?" Jimmy asked.
"I'll be fine daddy." Marissa said.
"Ryan I have plans with Hailey tonight, do you mind staying or we could just stay here tonight." Jimmy said.
"That's fine I'll stay." Ryan replied.
"You and hailey seem like you're doing well daddy." Marissa said.
"Yeah. I think Hailey is planning on moving away though." Jimmy replied.
"What?" Marissa said, "Why is she moving away?"
"I don't think she's happy here." Jimmy replied.
"But you just said that you two were doing well." Marissa said.
"We are, Hailey just isn't the type to be happy in Newport. She's used to traveling and living all over the place." Jimmy said.
"Are you guys going to break up?" Marissa asked.
"We just decided to take it day by day. I don't know what will happen next week." Jimmy replied
Summer arrived at Seth's place, he was sitting down with his parents when she came in. No knock, just walked right in.
"I see we're not knocking any more." Seth teased.
Summer looked up at everyone, "Oh, I'm sorry. Should I, I mean I didn't know if I should."
"It's ok Summer, you don't need to. Seth's just joking around with you." Sandy said.
"Thanks Mr. Cohen. At least one of the Cohen men is nice." Summer said sitting down next to Seth giving him a look.
"You still love me!" Seth said wrapping his arm around Summer's neck.
"Watch it Cohen." Summer replied.
Sandy laughed.
"How are you today Summer?" Kirsten asked.
"Good. How's Coop and Chino?" Summer asked.
"Oh well they're doing ok. Ryan's gone over to see her right now. Marissa stressed herself out this morning and passed out. I think she's doing better now." Kirsten replied.
"Really? Poor Coop. Can I use the phone to call her?" Summer asked.
Sandy passed her the cordless phone.
"Do you mind if I take this in another room?" Summer asked.
"Go ahead sweetie, take your time." Kirsten said and Summer nodded as she exited the room.
Summer dialed Marissa's home number and waited for someone to answer.
"Ryan can you grab that, I think Marissa is in the washroom." Jimmy asked as they cleared the table off.
"Sure." Ryan replied and answered the phone, "Hello?"
"Chino?" Summer asked.
"Hi Summer." Ryan replied.
"Sorry I didn't expect you to answer the phone. How's Coop doing?" Summer asked.
"She's ok she just went to the washroom. Do you want to talk to her?" Ryan asked.
"The Cohen's said that Coop passed out today, what happened?" Summer asked.
"She was just stressed out. I think she'll be fine now." Ryan replied as Marissa came down the stairs.
"I hope so." Summer replied.
"Marissa is here now, I'll put her on." Ryan said and handed Marissa the phone.
Marissa smiled at Ryan and said she was going to take the call upstairs in her room. Ryan nodded and waited for Marissa to answer it up in her room before hanging up.
"Do you want help Mr. Cooper?" Ryan asked.
"Nah, I just threw the dishes in the dishwasher. I'm heading out now, maybe you should call Sandy or Kirsten and let them know I asked you to stay." Jimmy said.
"Marissa's on the phone, I'll call them when she's off." Ryan replied.
"I'd rather you call them before I leave." Jimmy said and passed him the cell phone.
Ryan nodded and dialed home.
"Hello?" Summer answered.
"Summer?" Ryan said.
"Chino? Aren't you at Coop's?" Summer asked.
"Yeah, you're at the Cohen's?" Ryan stated.
"Yeah." Summer said.
"Can I quickly talk to Kirsten or Sandy?" Ryan asked.
"Ok, I'll just let Coop know she'll have to hold on a second." Summer said and clicked back to the other line and returned shortly after passing the phone to Sandy.
"Hello?" Sandy answered.
"Sandy it's Ryan." Ryan said, "I'm over at Marissa's and Jimmy made plans tonight. He asked me to stay with Marissa, if that is ok with you."
"He wants you to stay at his place?" Sandy asked confused.
"Yeah, I promise it's completely innocent and I'm only staying because Jimmy asked." Ryan said.
"Ok, make sure you're home early tomorrow morning." Sandy said.
"Thanks." Ryan replied and hung up.
"So it's ok with him?" Jimmy asked.
"Yeah they're cool with it." Ryan said.
"Ok, tell Marissa I'll call her later on this evening." Jimmy said grabbing a bottle of wine from the fridge.
"Will do. Have a good night Mr. Cooper." Ryan said as Jimmy headed for the door.
"Ryan, it's Jimmy. Mr. Cooper doesn't seem right." Jimmy said and Ryan nodded.
Ryan sat down on the couch, he knew Marissa was on the phone with Summer and didn't want to interupt their conversation.
Although Seth was being impatient on the the other line.
"Summer, didn't you come here to visit me?" Seth whinned entering the backyard where Summer was sat on a pool chair.
"One minute Cohen." Summer said.
Summer and Marissa kept talking and Seth kept whinning.
"Summer I'm bored!" Seth complained.
"Go talk to your parents." Summer suggested hardly paying any attention to him.
"Suuuummmmeeeerrr." Seth said trying to kiss her neck.
"Cohen!" Summer yelled trying to swat him away like he was a fly that wouldn't go away.
"Summer why don't I go. Ryan's waiting for me anyway." Marissa suggested.
"I'm sorry Coop. At least you're boyfriend has patients!" Summer said giving Seth a dirty look.
"Come by tomorrow?" Marissa asked.
"I will, see you tomorrow Coop." Summer said and hung the phone up.
Marissa hung the phone up and looked in the mirror fixing her hair and fixed her make up to cover the last of the bruise remaining on her face. Once she was content with how she looked she opened her door and returned downstairs to Ryan.
"Sorry." Marissa said and sat down on the sofa.
"It's ok, Summer was worried about you." Ryan replied.
"Yeah, I couldn't get her off the phone until Seth starting nagging her. I don't think she's happy with him right now." Marissa smiled and looked over at the tv and Ryan did the same.
After a couple minutes Marissa started looking around, "Ryan where's my dad?"
"Oh he left while you were upstairs. He said he would call you later on to check up on you." Ryan replied.
"Oh, did he say what time he'd be back?" Marissa asked.
"I don't think he's coming home tonight." Ryan replied, "He made me call home and tell the Cohen's I was staying here."
"Oh." Marissa said trying to hide her smile but Ryan caught it and smiled back at her.
"You're kind of cute." Ryan softly said.
"Just cute?" Marissa teased.
"What's wrong with cute?" Ryan asked.
"Cute is a three year old with pig tails." Marissa said.
"17 year old can't be cute?" Ryan asked.
"Boyfriends aren't supposed to call their girlfriends cute, we're supposed to be sexy or hot. Cute is the girl next door." Marissa said.
"You were the girl next door." Ryan replied with a grin.
"You know what I mean Atwood!" Marissa replied, "You don't think I'm hot or sexy?"
"I think you're hot and sexy but right now you look cute." Ryan said, "I like cute. Actually, I really like cute."
"Well I guess for now cute is good." Marissa said moving closer to Ryan. She leaned in and kissed him, "Is my dad coming back at all tonight?"
Ryan shook his head and they continued kissing.
