Chapter 10

Ryan, Seth, and Summer are sitting on the plane and Ryan was freaking out because he was extremely afraid of heights. Summer decided that this was the perfect time to tell him because he was so distracted because he was scared that he couldn't freak out more than he was already.

Summer: So, I was told to inform you guys the reason we are really going to New York.
Seth: We know you have a photo shoot.
Summer: No. I couldn't tell you what we were really coming down here for.
Ryan: What the hell are you talking about.
Summer: Well, Marissa's son is in the hospital he had to have surgery last night.
Ryan & Seth: SON!
Their eyes seemed to be bulging out of their heads.
Summer: Yes, his name is Parker and he's two.
Ryan: Why didn't she tell us?
Summer: She was embarresed because she doesn't know who the father is.
Ryan: Is he mine?
Summer: Maybe.
Ryan: WHAT AND SHE KEPT IT FROM ME!
Summer: Ryan please stop yelling everyone's staring.
Ryan: I can't believe this. How could she do this to me? I may have a son I don't even know? Now, I understand why she didn't call for almost three years. She got with me at the wedding said we were going to be together and she was going to move back as soon as she finished college and she just cheated on me and never called to say "Hey you have a son!"
Summer: She didn't cheat on you Ryan.
Ryan: What the hell do you mean she didn't cheat on me you said that she didn't know who the father was.
Summer: Marissa will explain everything. You have to give her a chance to explain everything before you start yelling at her.
Ryan: Whatever!

They sit on the plane in silence. Ryan couldn't take his mind off of what Summer had just told him. A million thoughts ran through his mind wondering if he was the father wondering what he looked like. He was so mad at Marissa that he felt an urge to punch something.

Ryan: Thanks for telling me Summer.

Summer: Well, she wanted to tell you in person but I figured it would be better if I told you.

Ryan: Yeah, it's better that I know.

Seth: Are you okay?

Ryan: Yeah. I'll be okay.

Seth: Are you sure man.

Ryan: Yeah I'm just a little freaked right now.

Seth: It's completely understandable.

Ryan just stayed quiet. There was no way Seth knew even a portion of what he is going through. Ryan was feeling nervous, excited, and angry all in one. He was nervous about the flight and seeing Marissa again. He was excited because he was going to see her and because he may be a father. He was angry because he may have a child that he knew nothing about and didn't even get a chance to be in it's life. He still loved Marissa though that was one of the main reasons that he was so mad. Not exactley mad at her but mad at himself for not hating her. He had loved her ever since the moment he laid eyes on her. He loved her even though they had been apart all these years. He always pictured them getting married one day and having kids. He wondered if she still loved him as much as he loved her.

With Christie he really didn't love her that much. She was always drunk and yelling. The only person who he ever got to talk to about his problems were his parents, Seth, and his maid. She was really good to talk to. He told her everything she knew about Marissa and his and Christie's problems. Then there was Anna he told Anna more than he ever told anyone. She was his best friend and he was hers. They talked about everything from Marissa to their hopes and dreams. He really needed to talk to Anna right now talk to her about how he is feeling but you aren't allowed to use phones on the plane. Plus he won't talk to Seth about it because and he doesn't want Seth to get mad that he won't talk to him but he will talk to Anna.

He really loved Seth but he wasn't easy to talk to. He was always interupting or thinking about himself. Even though he has changed a lot since they were teenagers and he's not so self absorbed he still can't seem to tell him how he's feeling. It's really hard for him to open up to people especially to guys. He still doesn't feel comfortable talking to Sandy about his feelings and Sandy has been like a father to him since he was sixteen. He's always felt more comfortable talking about his feeling to women like Kirsten or Anna. He really loves talking to Kirsten when he's upset because she's so full of life. He's never met someone quite like her she's a great mother, kick ass business woman, wonderful wife, and still has time to talk to him about his problems and never judges and always gives great advice. Kirsten was more of a mother to him than his mom ever was and he really loved her for that.

Seth: Hey Ryan do you want to talk about it? I mean you look like you are in deep thought. Talk to me about it okay.

Seth broke Ryan's train of thought and he only heard the okay part of what he said.

Ryan: Huh?

Seth: I said, do you want to talk about it?

Before Ryan could answer the pilot came over the speaker and said that they were about to land. Ryan never thought he'd be so happy to hear that they were in New York. He's always hated New York it just was to big for his liking. What he hated more than New York though was talking about his feelings to guys. He grabbed the arm rest nervously when the plane started shaking from the turbulence. He hated turbulence more than talking to guys about his feelings and New York put together. He thought about it and he decided he hated a lot of things. Was it normal for someone to hate so many things? He pondered this for a few moments then the plane started shaking again.

Summer: Hey Ry. You okay?

Ryan: Summer please don't call me Ry. I hate it when you do that.

Summer: Yeah I know. Why do you think I do it? Now back to my original line of questioning. Are you okay?

Ryan: Yeah I'm good. I hate flying.

Summer: Yeah you and heights don't do well. I'd calm you down but the only way I know how is too gross to do.

Ryan: Summer can we please not walk down memory lane while we are ten thousand feet in the air.

Summer: Yeah sure. Why don't you let up on the arm rest before you break your fingers.

Ryan let up on the arm rest a little and closed his eyes really tightly.

The plane landed and they got off.

Summer: Are you guys excited?

Seth: Oh yeah! It's great.

Summer: Don't be sarcastic honey.

Seth: Awww Summer did you just call me honey that's soo cute.

He leaned over to her and started kissing her while she was laughing. Ryan just stood there and watched hoping he didn't throw up. He still hasn't got over his dizziness from the flight and now Seth and Summer have to start being so cutsey. It was enough to make a guy throw up his breakfast. It was a good breakfast he didn't want to lose it so he cleared his throat loudly and made Summer and Seth turned around and looked at him.

Summer: Sorry Atwood.

Seth: Yeah sorry man.

Ryan just rolled his eyes and grabbed his bags off of the conveyer. He hated them being all cutesy then apologizing about it. He wished they would just stop doing it or stop apologizing. He definately needed to talk to Anna. Anna wasn't going to be doing anything cutesy. He grabbed his cell phone and dialed the oh so familiar number. Anna answered the phone after a few rings.

Anna: Hello.

Ryan: Anna!

Anna: Ry! God, it's so good to hear from you I haven't talked to you since last week.

Ryan: Yeah, I know.

Anna: Ryan where are you?

Ryan: I'm at the airport in New York.

Anna: Why?

Ryan: Well, Marissa called yesterday and asked me to come to New York.

Anna: Really? You haven't talked to her in like two years.

Ryan: Yeah I know. It was weird.

Anna: Well, are you excited?

Ryan: I guess.

Anna: What do you mean you guess? This is like your dream come true.

Ryan: Well there's some stuff that I would love to explain to you but not right now. I did something you are never going to believe though!

Anna: What?

Ryan: I dumped Christie.

Anna: WHAT? That's my dream come true!

Ryan: Believe me mine too.

Anna: So do you feel free and liberated?

Ryan: Well, yeah I guess I sort of do.

Anna: That's great Ry. I'm really proud of you,

Ryan: When are you coming to visit?

Anna: I don't know when I'll have time. I have a lot of work.

Ryan: ANNA!

Anna: You know I hate it when you do the pouty voice.

Ryan: I know why do you think I'm doing it.

Seth and Summer are standing there staring at him.

Summer: When did he become all cutesy?

Seth: He's like that with Anna.

Summer: It's weird. I don't like it. Tell him to punch someone please. I mean this morning with the hugs and kisses and everything and now with the cutesy voices. He doesn't even do cutesy voices with the kids.

Seth: Yeah, I know. Sometimes I wish he'd punch someone too. As long as it's not me I have sensitive skin. I bruise like a peach.

Summer: Awww I know your so sensitive.

Summer leans up to capture his lips in a kiss.

Ryan just rolled his eyes watching them again.

Ryan: God they're being cutesy again. I think I'm really gonna puke.

Anna: Who's being cutesy.

Ryan: Seth and Summer.

Anna: Hey leave them alone I love that they're cutesy it means they love each other.

Ryan: Can't they like love each other less?

Anna: No way.

Ryan: Well, we gotta get out of here and hail a cab. So I will talk to you later.

Anna: Yeah. I love you sweetie pie.

Ryan: Awww Anna never call me sweetie pie again. I love you too though.

Anna: Okay bye.

Ryan: Bye.

Ryan hung up the phone and they all walked outside together and hailed a cab.
