CHAPTER 3:THE HARDEST THING
Marissa stared at the brunette without really comprehending that this was the
same girl she saw years ago."Hi Marissa..um..how are you?"Teresa said as she
shuffled her feet."T-Teresa?Is that you?Wow,it's been awhile...um what are you
doing here?"Then Marissa looked at the solemn little girl in Teresa arms and saw
a glimpse of something very familar in her eyes."Well actually it has to do with
Sammy."lifting up Samara slightly on her waist. "Well, come on in,we can talk or
something."Teresa gave a small nod and followed Marissa into the large living
room furnished tastefully in stripes and beige.Motioning to the overstuffed
couch,Marissa sat down opposite of the pair and waited expectantly.Teresa looked
down at her sneakers and then "So,Where is Ryan?"That is when Marissa knew
that the little girl in a pink dress was going to play a big role in whatever was
about to happen.
"What's going on Teresa?"Teresa layed the now sleeping girl on the far end of the
couch,inching away from her as much as possible."That is Samara.Samara
Elise ...Atwood.I know it was wrong to hide her from you guys but I didn't know
what else to do you know.I thought it was all for the best in the long run.But
now I'm not so sure.Listen,I think Ryan should be here for this .Marissa sat for a
moment soaking in everything.Ryan has a daughter.Ryan has a
daughter.Ryan has a daughter."Ryan isn't here right now.Actually he isn't even
in town.Seth and him went out on the boat for a week."Teresa bit her lip fighting
back tears.No No No."Well I can't stay long.H-here this is all you will need to
know."Pulling out a manilla envelope,she shoved it across the table and started
for the door looking back to catch a last glimpse of her daughter."Teresa! What
are you doing !WAIT!"Marissa ran after Teresa but she was already adjusting
herslef in he car and starting the engine,rolling out of the oyster-shell
driveway."Tell Sammy I love her!"Was the last choking sentence Teresa got out
before driving away into the hot Orange County heat.
A/N short I know,but there is a reason for my way.
