Chapter 19-

Marissa and Ryan stood at Jupiter's bedside. She was awake and looking around at them blankly. "Is he here?" asked Jupiter. "I asked them to call him."

Ryan shook his head. Play dumb, he told himself. "Who?"

"My boyfriend….Zach…I said for them to call him. I want him to be here with me."

Marissa looked at Ryan pleadingly. She led him outside the room and began to speak. "You can't do this, Ryan. It's her right to have her boyfriend here…even if it is Zach…" Marissa stuck her finger in her mouth, making as if she would vomit. "She loves him," said Marissa. Marissa kissed Ryan softly. "Like I love you. Do you think that just because my mother forbade me to see you that I stopped loving you?"

Ryan smiled at her. "You have to do this, don't you?" Marissa began to kiss his neck. "Fine," said Ryan. "I give up. I give up."

Ryan held up his hands in the air as if he were surrendering. "Good boy," said Marissa. "Now go find Zach. I'll stay with your sister."

Haley smiled softly. "Yes, Jimmy. I will marry you." She ran towards him and leapt into his arms. He swiftly carried her out the yacht and onto the plank-way, carrying her towards his car. Once there, he threw her into the back seat and climbed on top of her, unbuttoning his shirt and sliding it from his body.

"I love you," he murmured as he unbuttoned her shirt and unsnapped her bra. He unbuckled his jeans and slid them to his feet, kicking them and his shoes from his body. Haley did the same until they were naked. Then, slowly, as one, they moved in a soft rocking motion. Haley moaned as Jimmy whispered softly in her ear.

"I love you," he said.

"I love you," she murmured.

Marissa sat beside Jupiter when she saw Ryan enter with Zach at his side. Zach had obviously cleaned his nose since there was no blood left. Ryan gently shoved him towards the bed and then walked over to Marissa. "I think we should leave them alone for a little while," said Ryan.

Marissa smiled and took Ryan's arm. "I love you, Ryan," she whispered in his ear as they walked towards the door. That was when, suddenly, three police appeared in the doorway, grabbing Ryan and shoving him to the ground. Marissa screamed in horror.

"Ryan Atwood, you are under arrest…"

Marissa backed into the wall, screaming, not realizing what was going on around her. She covered her mouth, heard something about Lindsay…Lindsay…they said that Ryan had killed Lindsay.

"What's happening?" said Jupiter. "What's happening?"

Marissa watched as they dragged Ryan down the hall. "Ryan!" she screamed, running after them. "Ryan!"

As Ryan was dragged down the hall, he cried, "Marissa! Marissa! I did it for you, Marissa!"

Marissa fell to the ground, sobbing, rocking herself back and forth…

Had Ryan killed Lindsay?
