Title: It All Comes Together In The End

Rating: R

Disclaimer: Wish I did, but I don't own anything. It all belongs to Josh (who's a genius by the way)

Ch. 1--->Feelings ---

AN: The only thing different from the whole 1st season is that before Ryan ever showed up Seth and Marissa were best friends (besides Summer) but they kept their friendship secret until Marissa and Ryan started dating (and Summer also became really good friends with Ryan). I just wanted them to be tight and to show that all 4 of them were best friends!

The weather matched the mood. Marissa Cooper lay on her bed in her newly furnished room staring out the window. It was dark and rainy and the wind was terrible but all she could think about was how she'd rather be out there than in her house. When her mother married Caleb Nichol she moved with them to the 'palace' that Caleb had built for them. The house was everything you'd ever want but her thoughts always drifted back to her old house. Because there meant being next door to Seth and Ryan. She felt tears well up in her eyes at the thought of them.

About a month ago everything had taken a turn for the worst. After the whole Oliver bit things had finally returned to normal… if anything could be considered normal around here. Then Theresa had shown up again, pregnant, and possibly with Ryan's child. She knew she couldn't blame anyone but all she could see was how Theresa had come to steal Ryan from her and how Ryan couldn't keep his dick in his pants. Sure they had broken up, but only for like a week. She sighed and looked away from the window to see a picture that was her favorite sitting on her table.

It was a picture of all four of them, squished on a ferris wheel. They had gotten someone in the cart ahead to take their picture. It was nighttime and you could see the lights of Newport in the background. She was sitting on Ryan's lap and Summer was on Seth's. It was there about two months before the picture was taken that she and Ryan had kissed for the first time.

'Damn it' she thought as more tears came. Ryan had left yesterday to return to Chino. She knew why he had to go but it didn't make it any easier, on her or the Cohen's. Then Seth had left leaving only notes for her, his parents, and Summer. He had sailed to Tahiti because he couldn't deal with Ryan gone, his only true guy friend.

Now here she was crying on her first week off school. This summer was supposed to be about the four of them, hanging out everyday, sleeping over at each others houses, and doing couply things. Her, Ryan, Seth, and Summer.

'SUMMER' she thought. Oh my god, she had completely forgotten about her BFF. She was not alone in this! Summer had become equally as close with Ryan as she had with Seth. The four of them were inseparable. She sat up and reached for her fuzzy pink phone and speed dialed 1.

"Hello" a croaky voice answered. She had been crying just like Marissa.

"Sum…?"

"Coop…?"

"O God Sum I can't handle this alone, and you're going through the same thing as me. Meet you at the beach station in 10."

"God Coop I'm so glad you called. I'll see ya."

They hung up. Marissa rushed to her closet, blindingly picking out a short mini and a yellow tube. She ran a brush through her hair and slipped her feet into her flip flops. Grabbing her purse and keys she ran down the stairs.

"Marissa"

O God she couldn't deal with her right now.

"Hunny come in here for a moment"

Silently regretting it she turned around and walked to the living room where her mom was watching the shopping channel.

"Marissa if you're going out could you please drop by the nail salon and pick up Caitlyn?"

"What?! You're joking?"

Julie turned around to see her daughter's face all tear streaked. "What's wrong?"

Marissa just stood there not believing she was related to this bitch. Not answering her she ran out the door to her red Lexus convertible. She had traded her 'old' vehicle in for this baby. They had all decided that it needed a name so it was now 'Jazzi'. It had taken them everywhere. She jumped in and drove as fast as she could to the beach.

Summer hung up the phone and rushed to get ready. Thank God for Coop. She had just been sitting there on her bed crying about Cohen. She'd thought he'd loved her. Sure the note said he did, but a note! Who leaves their girlfriend a note and just tales off?

'Whatever!' she thought as she pulled on a pair of light jeans and a red tank. She grabbed her gloss and headed for the door. She paused though, seeing the picture of the four of them on the Ferris wheel. Feeling the tears come again she headed for the beach not wanting another crying episode to being.

Ugh. Who was she kidding. She had been bawling all day and what was gonna make this any different. Nearing the beach she saw Jazzi parked. So many memories had happened in that car. They had all been so excited when Coop had brought her home that they had driven around for hours and then slept in it. Now that was not the most comfortable place to be, but since the four of them were together they had cared less.

Sighing she kept walking until she climbed the beach station stairs (it was actually the lifeguard station but they had all given it the name). She saw Coop sobbing silently.

"Coop.." she whispered.

Marissa turned and saw Summer standing there. The next thing Summer knew she had all 115 pounds of Marissa Cooper thrown at her. But she didn't care. She held her back just as tight and together they let themselves cry.

So did you like it?? The next couple chapters are the base, you know like what's going on and it leads up to the romance part! So please review and let me know. Will have Ch. 2 up shortly!
