The Aftermath: Chapter 2

A/N This is beginning of the aftermath of Marissa death, Ryan is in complete shut down mode and the Cohens are on their way to get him.

The Cohens were sitting in the family room watching "Guess who", Sandy and Kristin was sitting on the couch, cuddled next to each other. Seth and summer were on the floor, also cuddling together all of them laughing together. When suddenly the phone rang.

Sandy said, "I'll get it guys, as he headed to the phone. He picked it up"Hello,

" Sandy Cohen" a deep voice said sounding like a coup

"Yes this is sandy

" There is has been an accident. Sandy let out a sigh of worry"between a Ryan Atwood and Marissa Cooper

How bad is it Sandy asked " is anyone hurt.

The cop continued, "Mr. Atwood seems to be okay, just some bumps and bruises. He is getting checked out as we speak.

"And what about Marissa Cooper is she alright? Sandy asked still concern. Suddenly the phone went silent.

"I am sorry Mr. Cohen, but unfortunately Ms Cooper didn't make it by the time we got here she was apparently in Ryan's arms when we arrived. As the cops spoke these words, Sandy gradually sat down in his chair, with his one hand covering his face. "Oh my god, Ryan he said shakily.

"Mr. Cohen, did you want us to bring Ryan home, because he is being very hesitant on leaving ms cooper side, the cop said.

Sandy sighed sadly " No officer, ill be right there to get him. "If Ryan will allow me too" Sandy thought " thank you... and he hung up.

Kristin look over at Sandy " Is everything Okay Sandy as she watched Sandy come near her.

"There is been an accident, apparently someone was riding on Ryan and Marissa tail, and ran them off the road. Summer gasp and Seth held on to her. "The Car flipped over and burned... Ryan got out of the car and Marissa... he stopped in insentience

"What dad Seth asked firmly, summer looked at sandy scared.

"Marissa didn't make it; um Sandy was struggled with his words too. "She died in Ryan's arms

summer whimpered, "NO! NO, you're lying, Marissa isnt -----, she couldn't possibly be dead, you are making a mistake." Seth is unable to say anything, tears started forming in summer's face and she ran from the room

"Seth go after Summer Kristen advised him and Seth did.

Kristin went over to sandy, who hand was in his hand "How do you think Ryan is doing...

Sandy looks at Kristin "I can't even imagine how he is doing or feeling right now...

He felt cold, hard, not cold as in weather cold, but cold as in dead inside cold. He never felt this feeling before. This feeling of emptiness that seems to consume him all over his body and his soul. He didn't know what this feeling was, but he couldn't get rid of it, not now, not ever. He just felt so alone, so alone, like something that he once had inside of him was gone, it was like a light that burnt out and he didn't know how to feel for anything anymore. It was like suddenly he felt himself being pulled into a dark whole, bury under a whole lot of emotions that he wasn't ready to feel. He didn't want to feel the pain, the ache, the lost, the sadness; he didn't want to feel anything at all. Because there was nothing left for him to feel. and this feeling that makes me want to curl up and die, he just wants to envelope himself within it, because nothing ever felt this hurting then losing Marissa, then right now. He just seems like he is in a daze or a dream that he wish he could wake up from.
