A/N- The song Fix You does not belong to me. It belongs to Coldplay...what a great song it is though...

Chapter 13

After Caitlin had went back to her parent's house and Seth and Summer retired to Seth's room, Ryan went out for a while. Marissa said it was okay because she wanted to finish reading The Devil in Prada. However, soon enough she got a text message.

Rissa come down to the beach. It said. Of course it was Ryan, so Marissa texted right back. She didn't know why he wanted her to go down there at 11:00 that evening.

Why? She wrote back.

Becuz I have a surprise for you Ryan wrote back. Marissa grabbed a light sweater and her purse and headed to the beach.

When you try your best but you don't succeed

When Marissa arrived at the beach, she didn't see Ryan anywhere. But then she felt someone's hands cover her eyes.

"Close your eyes," the voice whispered. It was Ryan's.

"Ry, this is so not funny!" Marissa cried out.

"Do you trust me?" Ryan asked.

When you get what you want, but not what you need

"Yes, I trust you," Marissa replied, giving in. Ryan guided her on the sand down to the shoreline. "Can I see now?" Marissa called out. Ryan took his hands away from her face. On the sand in front of her she saw an oyster shell. She picked it up and shot a look of confusion to Ryan. When she opened it however, she gasped.

When you feel so tired but you can't sleep

Inside the oyster shell was a ring with a platinum ruby diamond. She slipped it onto her finger. "Is this what I think this is?" she asked hopefully.

Stuck in reverse

"What do you think this is?" Ryan asked. "If your thinking what I think your thinking, then you're right. This is an engagement ring." Marissa gasped again. Ryan was proposing to her.

When the tears come streaming down your face

"Holy shit," Marissa managed to get out.

"Marissa, I love you," Ryan began.

"I love you too," Marissa whispered.

When you lose something you can't replace

"Rissa, even though we've had….lets say a few interesting years together, I can't imagine not having you in my life permanently," he continued. He noticed Marissa about to say something, but he held up his hand as if to stop her. "Don't say anything. I rarely ever say this much and I think you should hear what I have to say."

When you love someone but it goes to waste

"I don't care that I impregnated Theresa. I don't care that Oliver came between us. I don't care that you were with DJ and lied to me that you weren't. I don't care that you killed my brother because he deserved what you gave him. I don't care that you went out with Josh. All I care about is that you will be in my life forever," Ryan said sincerely.

Could it be worse?

"So, to answer your question, this IS an engagement ring. Marissa Cooper, will you marry me?" Ryan asked. Marissa was shocked. She had not expected this.

"But after everything that's happened?" she asked meekly.

"As I said, I don't care. All I care about is that you're with me," Ryan replied. Marissa finally found the correct words.

"Yes. Yes, Ryan, yes!" she said, happily. He smiled and pulled her into a kiss.

Lights will guide you home And ignite your bones And I will try to fix you When they arrived back from the beach, they didn't need to say anything. Ryan held out his hand and guided her over to the bed, where they fell upon it together. He started kissing her everywhere and she kissed him back. They had waited two years for this. And finally it was happening.

Sorry, that was my best intrepertation of writing anything close to a sex scene...becuz I suck at them. Anyhoo, review and tell me what u think.
