The Summer-chapter 12
Disclaimer…I own nothing…it all belongs to Josh Schwartz…
Thanks for all the reviews…I know it's been awhile since I've updated…nothing could really come to mind…any way…here we go…
Cohen Mansion…pool house…nighttime…
"Hey," Ryan greeted, "I was going to call you earlier, but we were cut off from the outside of this house."
"It's okay, I'm glad you called me now," Summer responded, "I have news, really, really funny, and gossipy news."
"You do remember that it's me you're talking to. Ryan, your boyfriend, the one who doesn't really care about gossip."
"Oh, you'll care about this. Guess what Marissa's done now?"
"You really think I care about this. It's Marissa I could care less," he said, kind of disgusted.
"Ryan, I'm trying to tell you a story, that will make you laugh hysterically, and you're not helping."
"Sorry, please continue," he said, cracking a smile.
"Okay, so, I heard that her mom caught her trying to sneak out of her house," she began.
"I don't see how this is funny."
"Will you stop interrupting me, I haven't even gotten to the good part. Okay, so she was trying to sneak out, her mom walked into her room, she not only was drunk, she was high. Her mom freaked, and called the cops on her. I don't know why, but the cops came, and took her downtown, or wherever they take you when they want to 'talk.'"
"You're kidding me, Marissa got arrested for trying to sneak out of her house," he said, "Summer, your story telling skills, are really starting to suck."
"Okay, still not done here, and your not being a very good boyfriend. Can I please continue?" Summer asked.
"Go on, I've got all night," Ryan replied.
"The cops found other drugs in her purse. The kind one would use to drug someone into something. (AN: I don't know what anyone would use, I was thinking GHB, but I then couldn't remember.) She has to stay over night. Could you see Marissa Cooper in jail? I think that is the most hilarious thing ever."
"Summer, she was your best friend."
"Yea, so, she tried to ruin my life, along with yours, and I care about you and love you, and don't want to see that happen."
"Aww, Summer, I love and care about you too."
"Ryan, shut up, don't you think that's the slightest bit funny. Marissa in Jail?"
"No Summer, I think it's sad."
"O-Kay, anyway, are we still on for tomorrow?" she asked.
"Yea, we go to school, comeback, do some H-work, and then hit that party. It should be fun."
"Kay, well I'm gonna hit the sack, I'll see you tomorrow."
"Okay, I love you," Ryan said, "sleep well."
"I love you, too. Bye." And with that, she hung up.
Ryan's POV.
How can Marissa do that? I hope someone can knock some sense into her. Why do I even care? That ship sailed a long time ago
Regular POV…
Next Morning at school
"So, I guess she was let go," Summer said, looking down the hall, seeing Marissa walk in the entrance, "and I thought they'd keep her for some kind of observation."
"Summer you do realize she wasn't really arrested, they just had questions. We don't even know the whole story," Seth said.
"Why are you defending her? She's trying to ruin our lives," Summer reasoned.
"No Summer, she's trying to ruin your and Ryan's lives. Not mine," Seth bit back.
"Guys, please, we never going to know the real story, so let's just drop it," Ryan tried to reason.
"Ryan, why don't you care? The one person that's trying to ruin this relationship, and you're just okay with it."
"Summer I'm not okay with it. I'm not, but we don't know the whole story. We don't know if she was even arrested. Now can we drop it, I have to get to class."
"Yea, sure, I'll go with you," Summer said, feeling like something wasn't right.
"No it's fine, go to your class, I'll see you at lunch," Ryan said walking towards his class.
"Ryan, wait. What's wrong, why are you acting like this. What did I do?"
"Summer, you didn't do anything. I'm just not in a really good mood. I didn't get much sleep," Ryan said, but he was somewhat distracted.
"What, why didn't you sleep?"
"No reason. Look can we talk, later. I really should get to class."
"Yea, come over before the party, we can talk then," Summer said.
"Kay, I love you," he said, kissing her.
"You too," Summer responded, but couldn't help but think something was wrong.
Summer's room…later that day
Summer's POV
Okay, so Ryan's coming over, and we're going to talk. And then we're going to this party. Your classic Newport party…hmmm, I wonder if someone's going to OD on drugs…it wouldn't be the same if something didn't happen. Back to Ryan…what to wear, what to wear? That doesn't matter, he doesn't care what you look like, well he cares, but not like that…DING DONG…oh crap, he's here…
"Hey, I was just getting ready. I didn't think you were going to be here for awhile," she explained, as to why she was in a robe.
"Hey, it's not like I'm complaining. I just wanted to clear the air. I'm sorry for how I acted, there was something on my mind, and I wasn't acting like I should've," Ryan said, hugging Summer, apologizing for everything.
"It's okay, It's just I want to know these things. If we're doing this, we have to be able to tell each other everything, and I mean everything. Starting with, why you couldn't sleep last night."
"It's just that after you hung up telling me that story about Marissa, I couldn't stop thinking about…"
"…her. It's okay Ryan, just tell me. You couldn't stop thinking about her. Even after all this she's still on your mind."
"Summer, no, that's not what I'm saying. I couldn't help but think that I was to blame for everything that she's done. I feel like I've caused her insanity," Ryan tried to reason.
"Ryan, you didn't do anything. You have to stop blaming yourself, and start letting Marissa handle her own problems. Now I have to get ready for this party," Summer told him.
"Okay, fine, but can I watch?"
"Eww. Ryan, not something you should've shared."
"Oh, come on, you know you want to," Ryan said, launching forward to tickle her.
"No, Ryan, stop, I have to get ready," she said, trying to wiggle out of his arms, laughing hysterically.
"Kiss me and then I'll stop," "NO," "Kiss me and then I'll stop," he said tickling her more.
"Fine, fine, I give," she said leaning up to peck him on the mouth. But someone else had other ideas. Ryan taking his chance deepened the kiss. Seeing that Summer was responding picked her up and carried her to her room, not breaking the kiss at all.
At the Party…that Ryan and Summer were supposed to be at an hour ago…
"Seth, SETH, hey, how's it going," Someone slurred into his ear.
"WHAT, I've had enough drunken people talk to me, what do you w-" he said, turning around, stopping when he saw Marissa, "Marissa, what do you want?" he deadpanned, not really caring what she had to say.
"Where's your girlfriend, oh wait I meant Ryan's girlfriend, and where is Ryan?"
"I don't know Marissa, but if I did, I still wouldn't tell you. And will you just leave it alone already. Yes, Summer dumped me when I left, Summer hooked up with Ryan, it hurt me, more than one could imagine. But Marissa, they're in love, so please, once and for all, LEAVE IT ALONE. No one around here takes you seriously enough, you're just drunk Marissa cooper. Oh yea, I meant to ask you, how was JAIL?" he said, and walked away, finally having enough with Marissa.
"Seth, Seth, get your ass back here. I am not taking this anymore, I'm not a drunk, and people care, I'm Marissa Cooper, I'm the most popular girl in this fucked up school, you'll see," and with that, she stormed off, in search of another drink.
Off in some other location at the Party…
"Seth, hey, sorry we're late. We got a little held up," Ryan explained as they found Seth.
"No problem man, you missed Marissa," he said.
"What did we miss, did she make a complete fool out of herself yet?" Summer said, mocking Marissa.
"No, not yet, but I think that coming pretty soon," he said, as she saw her gulping down another drink.
At that same time, Marissa saw them, and thought Showtime
Marissa got another drink, this time not for her, opened her purse, took out a little vial, and poured it into the drink. Stirred it up a little, and started walking over to Summer, with Summer's in right hand, and hers in left.
"Summer, hey, I thought you could use a drink, since I saw, you didn't have one yet," Marissa, tried so desperately not to slur her words.
"Thanks Marissa, as long as its 1 part alcohol and not 4," she said taking the drink in the left hand.
"Don't worry, I made it just for you," she said concentrating on something else, that she forgot that, that was her drink. And she walked away, sipping on hers.
Summer then walked over to the sink, and dumped the drink down. "I don't want to know what was in that," she said, pouring her own drink, in her own glass.
All of a sudden, there was a loud shriek…
Everyone jumped, the music stopped, and everyone rushed to see where it came from…including Ryan.
"Oh my God, Ryan, what happened, who was it."
No response
"Ryan, Ryan, come on buddy, what is it," Seth asked finally looking over his shoulder, seeing Marissa Cooper, laying on the dining room floor, passed out cold.
"Ryan, it's her fault, come on, we have to go, someone called an ambulance, she'll be fine," Seth said, trying to pull Ryan with him, but Ryan wasn't moving. Instead, Ryan lunged for Marissa, starting to do everything that he could for her.
All Seth could do was stand by and watch, when Summer came up to him, "Seth where's Ryan, what happened."
All Seth could do was point to where he was, and when Summer looked, all she could do was start to cry. "Seth, why is he helping her, after everything she's done, he's helping her," Summer chocked out, "Seth, I think he still loves her," she said, burying her face in his shoulder.
"Summer you know that's not true, he loves you, he's just trying to help her," he said comforting her.
"Seth, I'm going to go with them to the hospital, I need to make sure she's alright," Ryan said coming up to them, "Tell Sandy and Kirsten. I'll be home in the morning."
"Ryan, what are you talking about," Summer asked, feeling as though he had no idea she was there, "you can't go."
"Summer, I'm sorry but I have to," he said, hugging her, "I'll call you when I can. Seth can you make sure she gets home okay?" and with one final kiss on the check, he was gone.
"Seth, please take me home, now," Summer said, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Yea, let's go," Seth said, hugging her to his chest, and walking her towards the car.
Hospital…a couple of hours later...
Ryan was sitting by Marissa's bed, thinking about things, and drifting off to sleep, when he heard a soft moan come from the bed. He shot up.
"Hey, how ya feeling?" he asked her, grabbing her hand.
"Like something was forced down my throat, and emptied my stomach. Ryan, why are you here?" She asked, not even remotely beating around the bush.
"I was worried about you, is that okay?"
"Yea, it's fine, but you're the last person I thought would be here. I was more expecting my mother, who would then kill me, or try to send me to some institution, like always."
"Now that you mention it," he said.
"Mention, what?" she asked.
"Marissa, you need help. And I know that's not what you want to hear, but you do, and you know it. You can't keep doing this to yourself, you can't keep drinking and doing drugs because you didn't get what you want. Not all the attention has to be on you."
"I haven't been doing this to get your attention, or anyone else's for that matter," she said, fooling herself.
"Really, you haven't, you knew that if you did something, something stupid, I would be at your side, trying to fix it, you knew that. And you went and did something stupid, and here I am Marissa, but this time, I'm not taking the blame for your stupid mistakes, you are, and you're dealing with the consequences. You've already been put in a program, one in San Diego. Where you are going to get better, and live there, until you are. You will have no contact with anyone from here, except your mother, who will be there with you. You have no say in this, you screwed up, and you're dealing," he explained to her.
"That's funny Ryan, really funny, cause you think that after I leave, and disappear, that everything will go back to the way it was during the summer. You're wrong, cause I guarantee you, that Summer right now, is crying her eyes out, cause she thinks you still love me. Did you even see her before you left the party? Did you see her when you told her what you were doing? My plan worked Ryan, right now, Summer is thinking of ways to dump your ass. Now who's screwed?"
"What are you talking about, I told her I would call her tomorrow, cause I was going to make sure that you were okay, she understood. Cause that's where you're wrong Marissa, I knew you were going to do something stupid, ever since Seth told us your little plan. And when you gave Summer her drink, I knew you forgot which one was yours, and Summer took yours, dumped it down the drain, and I knew you would drink that one, and do something bad, I didn't know it was overdose, but in that general area. All Summer did, was put on an act, and Seth went along. So if anyone's screwed Marissa, it's you," and with that he walked out, knowing that it was the last time he would see Marissa Cooper, cause in the morning, she was leaving and never coming back.
Okay, that was that…one more chapter…cause I have to make it look like Ryan and Summer are okay…
I didn't know how one's stomach was pumped, cause I've never experienced it, and know no one that has…also…finally got rid of the bitch, I mean Marissa…how was that…I was going to end it sooner, but I thought you'd want to know what happened at the party…I don't know why I had Marissa arrested by her own mom, it was kinda lame, but needed to show her stupidity. Anyway…
Leave your comments, and reviews…thanks a bunch, and love you all…
