Okay, Ryan went away like he did in the finale. Everything has happened that did on the show.
"Sweetie? Marissa? Are you up here?" Julie called into the giant mansion. The newlyweds just came home from their honeymoon in Europe.
"Marissa?"
"I be down in a minute." Marissa shouted from her room. She raced to put away the knife and bottle of vodka.
She stuffed it her a brown teddy bear that Ryan had given her a couple months ago. Then she tossed the bloody shirt into the hamper and hurriedly threw a sweatshirt over.
"Coming!"
She ran down the long flight of stairs. She still thought the stairwell was a little too fancy.
Marissa almost gagged when she saw her mother and Caleb kissing.
"Mom.!" They pulled apart.
"Hi, sweetie." Julie hugged her lightly. "Did you miss us?"
Marissa still disliked her mother but was slowing hating her less.
"Ye-a-h" She said disinterested.
"Marissa," Caleb spoke gruffly. "What are you going to do today?"
"Nothing. Maybe go over and hang with Summer."
"How is Summer anyway?" Julie asked.
"She's sad. I don't know when she'll cheer up."
"Okay, I hope she feels better." Her mother said in her fake-nice voice.
Marissa could feel the blood soaking though her shirt.
"Hey, I'm going to go over there now. I just have to change."
"Okay, dear. We'll see you tomorrow since Caleb is taking me to the resort."
"Fine, whatever." She called, running up the stairs.
Marissa stopped at the side of the road and pulled out a small bottle of tequila. She gulped it down without even filching.
She saw a guy watching her from the corner of her eye.
"What do you want?" She shouted drunkenly.
"Nothin'. Just your name."
"My name ain't nothin'."
"umm."
"What's ummm?" She walked over by him but not that close. Her vision was blurry from all the alcohol but she didn't recognize him.
"Just wondering why a beautiful girl like yourself is here in the middle of the road drinking."
"It's none of you damn business."
"Okay. Just wonderin'"
"Well, stop." Marissa heard a car pull over by the side of the road. Then she heard her name being called.
"Marissa? What are you doing here?"
She didn't answer. Everything was going blurry.
"Have you been drinking?" The voice sounded familiar. It sounded like Sandy's.
"Marissa? Here let me help you in my car." She wobbled on her long legs and started tipping over.
Sandy carried her to the car.
Marissa opened her eyes to a hazy room. Her head was hurting terribly.
She was going to puke. Marissa tried to stand up but her legs wouldn't hold her. She toppled back onto the bed again.
'Wait," she thought to herself. "This isn't my room. It's Seth's.. . . Why am I in his room?"
She sat up a little in order to look around.
'I'm not in my clothes I had on this morning? I'm in Kirsten's clothes.'
'oh no. They must have seen the cuts.'
She focused her eyes on a moving object in the room.
"Hello?" She asked the room.
"Sandy! She's up!" Kirsten called.
"Hi Sweetie. Are you feeling better? You scared us a lot."
"I'm sorry."
"Sandy saw you in the middle of the road talking to yourself. So he brought you here."
"Wait? I wasn't alone. I was talking to this guy."
"Shhhh. Honey. It's just the alcohol."
There was a knock on the door. Sandy.
"Can I come in?"
"Yes."
"How's it going? You gave me a scare."
"My head hurts."
"I'm surprised you're not in the hospital. You were too drunk."
It was lecture time. She knew it.
"I'm sorry. Let's just forget about it. Please?"
"Marissa. You could have got really hurt today."
"I know."
"And Kirsten changed your outfit because you had vomited on it and she noticed cuts on your leg. She then showed me." He took a breath. "Marissa don't do that to your body. Your going to seriously hurt yourself."
"Mr. Cohen, I have to go." She said abruptly sitting up. Her legs couldn't hold her. She started falling to the floor. Sandy grabbed her before that could happen.
"Marissa. We need to talk. I don't want this to happen again. I've seen you drunk to many times now."
"Mr. Cohen. Please let me go. I can take care of my self." She pleaded.
Sandy stood up with Kirsten.
"When you're feeling better we'll talk. In the mean time, you need some rest."
He shut the door and Marissa was alone with all her demons.
To Be continued.
P.S.. This is the intro part kind of. It just supposed to show Marissa's problems. Ryan, Seth, and Summer will be in the next chapter. Don't worry, it's not all about Marissa.
