She couldn't help. She wanted to know what
Seth was doing here. She looked again in the direction of Seth.
Suddenly she saw another familiar figure.
"No…that can't be
true…he's here too." she said to herself.
Marissa couldn't
help she had to look at Ryan and smile.
Her smile suddenly froze.
A woman appeared besides Ryan. She kissed him. She was
obviously his new girlfriend.
Marissa's eyes filled with tears.
'Why are you crying? Did you think that he would love you after all
you've done? Did you think he won't move on? Silly you!' Marissa
thought sadly.
"I've got to get away…" she turned around
and walked away… the tears running down her cheeks.
shortly
after
Summer arrived at the airport.
"Cooooop" she nearly screamed, when she saw her best friend
"Summmm" now Marissa was nearly screaming. They both hugged and giggled.
'Women…'was Jake's only thought. He stood besides Summer and watched the scene.
"You two are now finished with this Hello-scene? By the way it was funny to watch" he said and smirked.
"Ohh…Coop this is Jake." Summer introduced him.
"You are Jake…Sum told me much about you." Marissa smiled.
"Oh...did she? Hopefully only good things." He looked to Summer.
"Sure" Marissa added smiling.
Later
at the Cooper-Nichol Mansion
Summer and Jake visited Marissa.
They were laying at the swimming pool.
"Sum can I talk to you…alone?" Marissa asked seriously.
"Uhm.." Summer looked at Jake. Jake understood. This was going to be a girls-talk.
"Oh…err...I think I have forgotten something in the car... I will be right back."
"Ok…" Summer looked thankful at Jake, who was leaving.
"So… what's going on Coop?"
"Yesterday at the airport I saw…Ryan." Marissa found it would be better not to tell Sum that Seth was with him.
"He's here too? Summer asked.
"Obviously…" Marissa looked sadly and worried.
"I'm so sorry sweetie. I know that's hard for you but I mean… you guys could talk? I think this could be a chance to sort things out."
"Are you kidding? Do you think he will talk to me? And besides that…he's not alone. His girlfriend is with him." Marissa looked away.
Even
if Marissa looked away, Summer saw that she was hurt.
"You still
love him, do you?"
Marissa only looked away. Summer had her answer.
"It doesn't matter Sum. He's over me."
"I understand. We will have a happy week at the Nichol-mansion. So you don't have to meet him." Summer suggested.
"That's sweet, but have you forgotten the invitation? Luke invited us to his birthday-party at Las Vegas. And you're right I can't look myself away just because of Ryan. And I mean probably our new-happy-couple won't be out often…you know what I mean" Marissa wanted to sound sarcastic but she didn't.
"Coop…don't hurt yourself more…don't think of them… we don't have to go to Las Vegas. Luke will understand." Summer told her.
"Yeah he would… but we're going. We will have fun" Marissa wanted to convince Summer…but she also wanted to convince herself.
"Ok...it's your choice…" Summer replied.
So
they both decided to go packing. Summer and Jake left.
A
morning at the Cohen's
Seth sat in the kitchen. Sandy and
Kirsten ate Bagels. Sandy was reading the newspaper. A typical
morning. Ryan came into the kitchen. He looked sleepy.
"Oh…looks if someone didn't get much sleep." Seth smirked.
Ryan gave him "the look".
"Do you want a bagel Sweetie?" Kirsten asked.
"Mom you can't call him Sweetie when his girlfriend is here, that's embarrassing." Seth said.
"Oh…I'm sorry. I've forgotten that I'm the embarrassing Mom." Kirsten replied.
Liz entered the kitchen.
"Good morning all" she said happily.
"Morning" they all replied.
She took a bagel.
"So Ryan when are we leaving tomorrow? You know...the Las Vegas thing. Luke's birthday." Seth asked Ryan.
"Yeah… I think early in the morning would be the best." Ryan suggested.
"You're the boss" Seth replied.
"Soo how is this Luke like?" Liz asked.
"Uhm… he's funny. First I thought he's like this typical spoilt rich kids which is in the water-polo team. Ok, first he, Ryan and me had our problems, but after Ryan and Luke sorted the whole who's-with-Marissa-thing out, it was cool. I mean it was clear that Ryan had to get Marissa…" Seth smiled.
"The whole who's-with-Marissa-thing? Ryan got Marissa? I thought you two were just friends?" Liz looked questioningly at Ryan.
Ryan gave
Seth another typical Ryan Atwood "look".
Sandy, Kirsten
and Seth looked at each other and decided that this situation is
getting too risky for them.
"Err… I will go upstairs and look after…err…yeah…I go upstairs…cya" and with that Kirsten was out of the kitchen.
"Yeah…I will help Kirsten with wathever she has to do…"and now Sandy was away.
"Err… I can't imagine such a lame excuse like my parents… but I think I will leave the kitchen too…there are too much bad vibrations in here…so I will go packing." And with that Seth went upstairs.
Poolhouse
"Sooo… what do you have to say
to your defence? Liz glared at him.
"I…I…I'm sorry Liz. I thought it would be better. I mean I don't know much about your past…about your ex-boyfriends too." Ryan tried to defend…to explain himself.
"Yeah…but I never said that I was just friends with someone and then suddenly there was more…how could you lie to me…I mean I have no problem with the fact that she's an ex. I have problem with the fact you didn't tell me…you lied to me…" she was sad and angry at the same time. Why he did this?
"I'm really sorry…I thought it would be better not to tell that Marissa and I were more than just friends. Ok, from now on I will be honest." Ryan said.
"Ok… so tell me about this Marissa-thing." Liz wanted to know what there was that he lied to her because of it. She wanted to be a part of his life, so he can't shut her out.
"Well…I came to Newport and met her… (hours later loool he told her about the Luke, Oliver and Theresa-thing). I came back from Chino. I was happy to see her, we had a beautiful time… but then yeah we broke up…Marissa and I… our relationship never lasted long…we always broke up…our relationship never worked out."
"Hmm…and why you broke up the last time?" She asked.
"It didn't work out…that's all you have to know." Ryan knew that he couldn't tell her now about what happened…it hurt too much.
"Ryan…thanks for your honesty." She kissed him. She knew that he hid something from her…but he would tell her, when he's ready to tell her.
