Once Marissa hung up, Ryan went back to the bedroom and looked over to the sleeping Theresa. He grabbed his pants and pulled them on. Next he grabbed his car keys and t-shirt as he headed out the bedroom door. He grabbed his mobile that the Cohen's had given him and headed for his car. As he drove towards Newport he didn't know what he was going to do. All he knew was that he wanted to see her.
He grabbed for his mobile and speed dialled her number.
"Hey it's me. Go over to my pool house. Don't let the Cohen's know your there."
"What? Why?"
"Just go over now. Please. And Marissa, please don't drive."
"Okay, I will walk then."
"See you soon."
As he pulled into the Cohen's driveway he saw Marissa making her way around the back towards the pool house.
He got out the car and followed her. When he got to the pool house he saw Marissa sitting on his old bed. He got a funny feeling as he entered the pool house, Marissa looked up as the door opened.
The walk seemed to have cleared her head and she didn't feel so drunk anymore. Ryan went and sat next to Marissa. Automatically he wrapped his arms around her and she snuggled into him. Just like the old days. He couldn't believe he was here with her. But what about Theresa?
He didn't care about Theresa. How could he? He wanted to be with Marissa. She was the one who took him away from the Cohen's and Marissa.
It was strange, he hadn't been in the pool house since he left. Now he was back, with the love of his life in his arms.
He lay down on his bed and Marissa snuggled into his arms. Together they fell asleep. The next thing he knew, the light was streaming into the pool house. He looked over and saw Marissa sleeping quietly next to him. He looked at the clock. The Cohen's would be up soon. Sandy would see his car in the driveway when he left for work.
He snuggled up to Marissa and fell back asleep. He was awoken by a kiss on the cheek. He thought it was Marissa but he looked over and she was fast asleep still. When he turned over, he saw Kirsten kneeling over him placing a cup of coffee on the table for him.
"Hey"
"Oh hey. Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you."
"It's okay."
"So can I ask what your doing back?"
He nodded his head towards Marissa.
"What about Theresa?"
"I don't know. It's along story but I really want to be here with Marissa and you lot."
"Yeah. Does Theresa know you're here?"
"No. I just left last night."
"Wait. Why?"
"Well every night since I left I have got a phone call from Marissa. She was breathing heavy as if she had been drinking and normally she would hang up. Sometimes though she would start crying then hang up. Last night though she just kept crying down the phone, so I whispered Marissa to her. She must have frozen because her breathing kind of stopped. She simply just sobbed Ryan back and hung up."
"Oh."
"I need to come and see her, so I got my stuff and drove here. On the way I rang her and told her to come over here. I told her to walk though."
"Okay."
"I really want to talk to Marissa before I decide what I do, but we fell asleep last night before I got the chance and she hasn't woken up yet."
"Well I will be in the kitchen if you want to talk or get some food."
"Thanks. Can you not tell Seth I'm back please. I might not be staying and I don't want to hurt him."
"Yeah sure. What about your car?"
"Can you put it somewhere he wont be able to see it."
"Yeah." She said as she grabbed his keys from the table.
