One Month Later…

Ryan and Summer were happy. They were together. They had been together for the last month and they had learned so much about each other.

On Thursday night, when Summer was hanging out with Ryan and watching the Valley, she realized that she really loved him. But, unbeknownst to Summer, Ryan was going through some trouble. When suddenly the doorbell rang.

"I'll get it." Said Ryan. "Kay," came Summer's voice not really paying attention as he got up from the bed. She was staring intently at the TV waiting for the beginning of her favorite show in the world.

Ryan answered the door.

"Marissa? What the hell are you doing here?" Ryan asked with anger he never thought that he would have. "I thought you were still in Palm Springs with your dad?"

"We came back early and I though that I would come see the Cohens. What are you doing back? What happened with Theresa? I thought I would come see the Cohen's tell them that we were back." Marissa said not sensing at all that something was wrong, seeing as Ryan looked extremely gut wrenched with sadness.

"Ummm…Long story…" He trailed off.

"Oh, well maybe you could tell me, maybe we can go to dinner at the Crab Shack and catch up." Not seeing the face that Ryan was making, that looked extremely close to the guilty feelings he was feeling for hiding Summer in the Pool House.

"Hey Ryan what's taking so long? The Valley's starting" Came a voice from the kitchen and walking in the living room. "Marissa, what are you doing back?" Came Summer's voice in a slightly confused voice.

"I didn't know that you were here! What are you doing her?!" Came Marissa's slightly pissed off voice.

"I was hanging out with Ryan, we've been friends since you left and he came back. Why do you care, you left? You didn't care anymore?" Summer said with some anger. Jeez her best friend left her alone for the whole summer, what was she supposed to do. Let he get away with it?

"Sorry Summer, but I was talking to Ryan before you came in here…So Ryan do you want to go?"

"Umm…sorry Marissa maybe tomorrow, I'm kinda hanging out with Summer right now, I can't just leave her like you did, I'm not that kind of person."

"Okay, well maybe we can go to lunch…Meet me at the Crab Shack at 12:30. I'll see you then. Bye." Marissa said as she kissed his cheek good-bye.

Once she was gone, the couple went back into the pool house to watch the Valley.

"Oh great I missed the first 10 minutes cause of that bitch," Summer said, stating obviously how much she hates Marissa now.

"Come on Summer, you don't think that she's a bitch do you?"

"Yes she left me alone for most of the Summer…I had no one…that is till you came back," she said suddenly feeling a little better, then tried kiss him, but he pulled away. "What's wrong? Why won't you let me kiss you?" Suddenly concerned with the fact that maybe he still wanted Marissa.

"It's just weird having her back…I know that we broke up, but seeing her just brought everything back. Every feeling that I had, everything that we went through."

"You still care about her and that's fine…but don't let her ruin this Ryan, we have something great here. I love you," and the information came spilling through her mouth like water flowing over Niagara Falls. She was now crying because she didn't want to loose him.

"You what? Summer this is big, this is serious information, I can't believe you just told me that!" Ryan was shocked to say the least.

"Oh my God, you don't feel the same, I thought you did, I'm really sorry, oh god I'll leave you alone now," she said blubbering, frantically scrambling to get her stuff and leave. When Ryan suddenly grabbed her arms to stop her.

"Summer, Summer STOP, I don't want you to leave. I love you too. I wasn't going to tell you until I knew that you felt the same way." Ryan said with such passion.

"Really? You love me?" Summer's quiet voice came out. She lunged forward and kissed him with all the passion that she had built up in her.

Let's just say that The Valley was completely forgotten, but another thing that was forgotten was the fact that they somehow had to tell Marissa and the Cohen's and even Seth when he returned…if he ever returned.

A/N: I'm thinking maybe Seth will some back in the next chapter if I ever do that one. Also, Marissa finds out…but not the way you think…I have to organize thoughts before I write that one. Any way, you know the drill, press the pretty purple button and review…you know you want to come on. Press it.
