Chapter 12-
Ryan and Seth were standing out on the pier when Summer and Marissa walked up. "Hey Cohen!" Summer called, not yet aware of the awkwardness that her talking to them would cause.
"Hey!" Seth replied. He glanced at Marissa, then Ryan.
"Hi Seth... Ryan." Marissa said awkwardly. She really was upset about what had happened. She wanted Ryan to forgive her. She gave him a brief pleading look, but Ryan would not meet her eyes.
"... Hey..." Ryan said distantly.
"So... what's up?" Summer asked, now aware of what was going on. Summer knew about what had happened between Ryan and Marissa. Marissa hadn't told her though... Seth did. What she didn't know was about Lindsay and Ryan's encounter a few days before.
"Not much..." Ryan replied gloomily.
"Actually, a lot is up. Ryan and Lindsay-" he quickly shut up when he realized that Marissa was there. Luckily she was too busy thinking about Ryan to hear him. Ryan noticed her quick glances at him. He knew she wanted him to forgive her, but he just couldn't.
"So... has anybody seen Trey lately because I've been looking for him." Ryan asked briefly looking at Marissa. A look of hurt shot across her face, but Ryan didn't care.
"Hey um... Summer... you wanna go get something to drink? My throat is really dry." Sethwanted to leave Ryan and Marissa alone.
"Hold on..." Summer on the other hand didn't want to leave Ryan and Marissa alone.
"Come on... I'm dying of thirst! Let's go before I accidentally say anything stupid." Realizing how desperate he was, Summer agreed. As soon as they were gone Ryan confronted Marissa.
"Why?" he asked, anger in his voice.
"Ryan... I don't know what to say to make you forgive me..." she was fighting back the tears in her eyes.
"Don't say any thing then." Ryan replied sarcastically. "I mean how could you do this to me? After all we've been through... you just throw it all away for Trey."
"Ryan it was a mistake..."
"Another one out of your many mistakes... Well Marissa, I'm tired of your mistakes!" He knew he was being harsh on her, but she had hurt him. "Marissa... I just can't take it anymore... " he stared at her for a second and then went off down towards the beach leaving her there slowly starting to break down.
A/N- It's short too... I know. I'm just trying to keep it moving. I promise next chapter is gonna be almost all Seth and Summer cuteness. If you have ne ideas for the story tell me! Well... you know the drill. R&R!
