seth drove for about 10 minutes with a lookout for ryan. then a blur of a guy riding his bike was in the distance so he beeped his horn. the stranger stopped and turned around. it was ryan for sure.

'hey what are you doing?' ryan asked as he rid up to the range rover

'ah, summer and marissa are at the life guard tower. sorry about that man.'

'eh, i think i can ride there from here'

'oh nonono...just put your bike on the bike rack on top of the car. im sure it wont get damaged.'

'are you just asking me to come with you so you can talk to someone?'

'no-no...yes its driving me mad! and anyway im meeting summer down there as well'

'mm..ok lets go' ryan said as he lifted the bike onto the bike rack and tied it down with some rope from inside the car

'wai- wai- wait...a little to the left...no no thats too much...right right!...uhh thats perfect' seth bantered on as ryan put his bike on the top.

'lets just go' ryan said as he held tight onto the keychain and leaped into the car and off they went.

they parked up near the pier and seth went to the diner. ryan followed but seth turned around and said

'dude, marissa is down at the tower. im just going to go see summer at the diner.'

'do you still think this is a good idea?'

'yeah man...cmon it'll be fine. its not like they kissed. if you dont go down there, you're surely going to lose her to him...and i know old ryan atwood wouldnt stand up to that'

'ok...thanks man' ryan said as he walked down to the tower...while still holding tightly onto the carebear keychain..

marissa was down there with ren.

'you shouldnt be here' marissa said, still clearly upset about everything but very vunerable

'i know, but i didnt mean for all of this...really'

'well you ruined everything...are you happy?'

'no...ok so i messed up. its just that...ive been so lonely since daniella left me. its just been so hard...and you were there for me...i just-...i just fliped out when she left and ..i dont know...'

marissa looked at him for a bit. she liked that he could express his feelings to her. a sudden unwanted but fulfilling urge to kiss him came about her.

he bent his head down looking at the floor when marissa tilted his head upwards. he looked at her and she looked at him...

and there lips met.

ryan was just coming around the corner and thought abit about what to say.

'i love you, i love you,' ryan thought as these thoughts spun in his head. he held the keychain tighter as tight as he felt he wanted to hold her.

'yes i love her' he whipered to himself as he was just turning the corner but saw something so unbelieveable he had to pinch himself...
