"Maybe I should go find her?" Kaitlin suggested as she sat next to Ryan after Marissa stormed out once hearing the news.

"No, just...just give her time. I mean, everything is so hard for her right now - moving to a trailor, losing one of her best friends, and now finding out that you're pregnant. It's got to be a lot to handle, especially all at once," Ryan said.

"I guess you're right," Kaitlin agreed. "Now, what am I supposed to do? Shouldn't I see a doctor?"

"Well, yeah, but the only way you can go is if your mom knows."

"I'll wait," Kaitlin blushed. "Why did this happen? I mean, I know how it happened, I just can't believe it actually did. And now Johnny's gone and..." Tears fell from her eyes once more. "I really miss him. I know that I didn't know him for long, but I really liked him. If I wasn't so stubborn and pushy, maybe he would have liked me and still been alive, and given up on Marissa. Or at least if I wasn't so jealous that he liked her,I wouldn't have used him and I wouldn't be carrying a baby inside of me!"

"Kaitlin, it's done now. There's nothing we can do to fix this. But you have three options. One - keep it, two - give it up for adoption, or three - have an abortion."

"No abortion," Kaitlin spat immediatly. "I don't believe in that."

"Okay, that makes two options."

"I don't know...I don't have to decide right now, right? I mean, I have nine months to make a choice."


Marissa sat underneath the pier, and reached for her ringing cell phone as she looked out at the waves that Johnny once rode into the shoreline. She turned left and saw the cliff that took Johnny's precious life. She finally managed to pull the vibrating phone out of her back pocket to see Summer's name on the caller ID.

--"Hey," Marissa said into the phone.

"Coop, where are you? I really need to talk to you."

"I'm at the beach, why? What's wrong?" Marissa questioned.

"I think I know why Seth missed his interview," Summer said quickly.

"Really..?"

"Yeah...and I know this might sound weird, but...I think he's cheating on me."

Marissa would've chuckled if she wasn't so depressed. "I don't think so, Sum. Would Seth really do that?" But then again, no one thought he'd be the type to do pot, Marissa thought.

"I don't know. I thought I knew him so well, but he just seems so...distant lately. Everytime I come over, he's always in his room and it takes him 20 minutes to let me in and it always smells like cheap perfume. Maybe he's been hooking up with a whore! Or Taylor Townsend! Oh my God, I swear, if it was Taylor Townsend, I would just beat that bitch senseless..."

"Sum! Calm down! I know that Seth isn't cheating on you," Marissa said.

"Well then why is he being so weird lately?" Summer asked.

"I don't know, but I know he's not cheating. Look, I've got to go, I'll call you later, 'kay?"

"Okay, Coop. Bye."--

Marissa hung up and turned to face the cliffs again. She picked up her small cell phone and lunged it as far as she could toward the cliffs. Her eyes began to swell with tears again.

"Johnny," she whispered aloud. "I'm sorry - I do love you." And then her legs gave out from underneath her frail frame, and she fell to the sand, sobbing.


"Where have you been?" Kaitlin asked Marissa when she finally returned back to the trailor, her face stained from tears.

"No where special," Marissa replied nonchalantly and shrugged as she walked right past Kaitlin and into her small bedroom.

Kaitlin got up off the couch and followed her.

"Look, Marissa. I know that since I've been here, I haven't been that much of a sister to you, and I'm sorry for that. I'm sorry for everything that I've done and everything that's happened. But I can't change it now."

Marissa nodded.

"And I know that you still love Johnny," Kaitlin added.

Marissa stopped dead in her tracks and turned around. "You do?"

"Yeah, and I think Ryan does, too."

"Oh great. I just don't know what to do anymore. Maybe I just need some space from Ryan," Marissa sighed.

"No. No Marissa, don't leave Ryan. He loves you so much. He knows that you still love Johnny and knows you need time. But don't leave him. You might love Johnny, and I know this might sound mean, but you have to move on. He's not coming back. But I know that you love Ryan, too. Just give it time, Marissa. That's all you need is time."

"I guess," Marissa replied quietly. "I'm gonna get some sleep. Goodnight." And with that she walked off into her room and shut the door.

Kaitlin entered her room as well, and went over to her mirror. She pulled a small picture of her and Johnny at her 15th birthday party out of its corner and smiled to herself as tears filled her eyes. "She still loves you, Johnny. We both do."
