Little Ms.Vixen, you'll get to know why she's so upset in Chapter 3! ;-)
I'm sorry I forgot to tell you: It takes place somewhere in the first season, but not really…lol. I mean, Coop's living at her dad's, she and Ryan are a couple, but Summer and Seth not (yet).
ShinyNewShoes: Yes, I am. Thanks so much for your review! You made my day! ;-)
No, honestly, I'm so glad bout all your reviews. Thx
So, here's Chapter 2. This one's about Marissa visiting her father in hospital. ENJOY!
So, which room now?
Marissa wandered through the hallways of the hospital. She hated hospitals. Everything about them. The smell, the reason why she was there now and the memories she connected with them.
"Damn woman. Room no. 4835. 'Just walk to the end of the hallway.' Crap. And WHERE should that be?", she muttered.
A few steps away from her Marissa caught the sight of a young nurse, about her age.
"Excuse me. I'm looking for room no. 4835. Could you please help me?"
A few minutes later Marissa stood in front of room no. 4835.
"There you are.", she murmured.
She put her hand onto the clasp, hesitating to go inside room no. 4835, where her father was. Her father was in hospital. She still couldn't believe it. She just could hope he was going to be alright.
Slowly she put the clasp down and walked inside the room. She closed the door behind her and looked around, searching her father.
There were two beds in this room, one on the left hand side, and the other on the right. She could identify the figure on the left as an old man who was sleeping. And by the way snoring very loudly. So she turned to the bed on the right, but what she saw wasn't what she had expected. The bed was empty. And it didn't look as if somebody had ever slept in it.
Marissa walked outside the room to look up the number once again. 4835. Where the hell was her father?
"James Cooper?"
"Yes." Marissa rolled her eyes, "He isn't in room number 4835, like you told me. I've been there, but there's only some old guy who's sleeping. So could you please tell me where my father's room is?"
"I'll be with you a minute, I have to talk to his doctor." the lady replied and hurried away.
Marissa leaned against the information desk and put her head into her hands. She took a deep breath. What the hell was going on? Couldn't anyone tell her where her father was?
About half an hour later the nurse came back. Marissa had settled on a chair in the waiting room. She was so tired, so sick of everything. Why must all these things happen to her? Slowly she got up from the chair and walked towards the nurse.
"I'm very sorry I kept you waiting. I just had a conversation with Dr Taylor, he's your in charge of your father. Mr. Cooper is being taken care of in room no. 2069. I'm glad to tell you that he's feeling much better than yesterday and he'll probably be able to leave hospital in a few days."
Marissa didn't know what to do, what to say. She was so happy, she just wanted to see her father.
"Could I talk to him?"
"Of course", the nurse told her with a smile.
Marissa was so excited she even forgot to thank the lady and began running down the hallway, looking for room no. 2069 – which was definitely more likeable than room no. 4835.
"Dad!"
"Honey, what are you doing here?"
Marissa closed the door and quickly went to her dad to hug him.
"I was so worried." she whispered.
"I know, but it's gonna be alright know."
Marissa let go her father and looked into his eyes. She wiped away some tears and smiled. "I know."
"I'm sorry, but could we proceed, please?" the doctor asked kindly.
Jimmy cleared his throat. "Of course."
"Sure, I'll…I'll wait outside." Marissa gave her father a last smile and exited the room. "Goodbye, doctor."
She was just so relieved. Now everything was going to be alright, she was sure of that.
What she didn't know, was that this should only be the first blow of this summer.
Hope you liked it! It was quite short I know, but I already got the next chapter so it won't take too long till you can read it! ;-)
Review, please!
