Ok, this takes place right after the last one ended… I don't own the OC

Kirsten: Ryan honey, I need you to come to the hospital now. It's about Marissa.

Ryan: What happened?

Kirsten: She was hit by a drunk driver.

Ryan dropped the phone. She hadn't killed herself, and he was relieved for that, but this was worse in a way. Summer watched him drop the phone, she felt tears welling up in her eyes.

Summer: It's about Coop right?

Ryan: She was hit by a drunk driver.

Summer just stood there, tears falling everywhere. Teresa let out a small smile. Her plan was going along well. With Marissa out of the way, she could get Ryan. Ryan ran out to Summer's car, and Summer followed him. They hopped in the car and headed off leaving Teresa alone to think. She got into the beat up convertible and drove right behind Ryan, a small on her face.

Ryan quickly arrived with Summer next to him. He ran until he found Sandy and Kirsten in the ICU lounge. He started to panic when he saw Kirsten's evens red and puffy and Sandy with a very serious look on his face.

Ryan: What happened? Is she going to be OK?

Sandy: We don't know. We saw her, she was in horrible shape. The police had a recording because there happened to be a video camera placed outside of the store, close to where she was hit.

Summer just broke down, sobbing. She had already lost her now ex boyfriend and she couldn't imagine life without Coop. A doctor came in with a solemn look on his face.

Dr: Are you the family of Marissa Cooper?

They all nodded.

Dr: She's in rough shape. She was crushed by the truck. The chances of her making it through the night are slim.

Sandy: What are her injuries?

Dr: Well, she has 5 broken ribs. She also had about 3 bones broken in her left leg and 2 bones broken in the left. She suffered a grade 4 concussion. She needed about 60 stitches in her left arm. Her right wrist was shattered. She needed surgery for her lung. She was 20 lbs underweight so we put in a feeding tube. Other then that she can't breathe on her own.

Ryan, Summer, Sandy and Kirsten sat there stunned. Teresa had gotten there a few minutes before, and she sat there a small smile, still on her face. The doctor's pager beeped. He looked at it, and his eyes got bigger.

Dr: I'm sorry. We have to go operate now or else we're going to loose her.

Then the doctor rushed out of the waiting room. Then the entrance door creaked open, and it was Julie Cooper standing there.

Julie: Where is she?

Sandy: She's getting an operation.

Julie: Tell her when she comes out to get her crap out of my house. If its not out in 5 days, I'm getting rid of it

Kirsten: What? Why?

Julie: I don't want her anymore.

Kirsten: You can't do that? She a kid, an almost dying kid! She's not some thing that you can get rid of!

Julie: Well Jimmy to take her and if he won't then I'll talk to my lawyer and she can be put into a foster home or something.

Then Julie stormed out, leaving all of the waiting room, stunned. Kirsten sat down, and took Sandy's hand. Ryan and Summer just sat there stunned, Teresa's smile just got bigger. Then the door opened to reveal 2 young men. Luke and Seth!

Seth: Um hi Mom, Dad, Summer, Ryan and uh Teresa.

Kirsten: You only left us a note! Are you crazy?

Summer gave him a slap across the face then went back to her seat. Ryan gave Seth a manly hug and him and Luke shook hands. Sandy gave Seth another manly hug, and Kirsten gave Seth a huge hug and a kiss then did the same to Ryan. She also gave Luke a hug.

Seth: So how is she?

Sandy: Not good. Her chances of making it through the night are very slim.

Seth: Oh.

Luke: So what happened?

Sandy She was drunk, and was walking on the sidewalk and was hit by a truck. She was also 20lbs underweight.

Kirsten: Then Julie Cooper-Nichol came in here and abandoned Marissa. I mean how can a mom do that to her daughter who probably won't be here tomorrow?

Seth: She abandoned her?

Kirsten: Yep. If her stuff isn't out in 5 days then Julie says she will throw it away. I was thinking of Marissa moving into the guestroom, if she makes it through the night.

Sandy: Seth, and Luke maybe you guys should go back to the house. It's going to be a long night.

Seth: I think we'll just stay here. I should be here for Summer.

Summer: So now you want to be with me. See you always want me when you can't have me. I've gotten over you, I met Zach Stevens and we are an item now. And maybe you shouldn't just be here for me. I mean the last words you said to her was that it was her fault Ryan was leaving. So you know what, maybe you owe her something. It's not her fault. In fact she was going to…

Sandy: What was she going to do?

Summer and Ryan gave each other quick glance.

Summer: She wanted to go to Chino and get Ryan back. But she just gave up.

They all sat there in silence until Teresa spoke up.

Teresa: I don't feel to great. Ryan can you drive me home.

Ryan: Um well, I wanted to stay with Marissa.

Teresa: Well I need you now. Which means more, the mother of your future child or some messed up, over obsessive ex girlfriend.

Ryan: I care about that GIRLFRIEND of mine. I'll drive you home but I'm coming back. Kirsten or Sandy call me if anything changes.

Teresa and Summer shot each other dirty looks then Ryan and Teresa drove to Chino. Teresa insisted that he stay there, so he did. Ryan got out of bed, and sat at the small table, his head in his hands. Teresa saw the light on and walked out to the kitchen. Ryan looks at her, the bump she had before was gone. Ryan gave her a confused look. She started to leave until Ryan stopped her.

Ryan: Teresa? What happened?

Teresa: I lost the baby.

Ryan: When? Why didn't you tell me.

Teresa: I lost the baby a few days after you came. I'm sorry but you can't go back to that whore. You belong here and not with her. We were supposed to be together.

Ryan: I don't love you. I can't believe you. I'm getting my stuff and I'm leaving.

Ryan stormed into the bedroom and threw his tuff in his suitcase. He got out his picture of Marissa and him at Caleb and Julie's wedding. He saw how beautiful she looked. He looked at her eyes and saw all of the hurt that she had been put through so many times. He held the picture to his chest, and took his suitcase and left. When he got into the car, he prayed. For once in his life, Ryan sent up a prayer. A couple tears fell. Her quickly wiped them away,. Atwood's didn't cry, he didn't cry when he was beaten, or when he was kicked out, or when his mom left him. He looked up again before driving off once again.

Long ago
Just like the hearse you die to get in again
We are so far from you

Burning on just like a match you strike to incinerate
The lives of everyone you know
And what's the worst you take (worst you take)
from every heart you break (heart you break)
And like the blade you stain (blade you stain)
Well I've been holding on tonight

What's the worst that I can say?
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight

Came a time
When every star fall brought you to tears again
We are the very hurt you sold
And what's the worst you take (worst you take)
from every heart you break (heart you break)
And like the blade you stain (blade you stain)
Well I've been holding on tonight

What's the worst that I can say?
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight
And if you carry on this way
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight

Can you hear me?
Are you near me?
Can we pretend to leave and then
We'll meet again
When both our cars collide?

Ok hoped you all liked that chapter. I don't own the OC or My Chemical Romance so yeah. Please review!
