Chapter 19
Seth felt a wave of rage come over him. He was still holding Parker tightly.
Parker: Can I get down now?
Seth: No!
Christie: Are you going to call him?
Seth: Yes.
Christie: Tell him that if I hear one cop car siren then I will shoot his son in the head. Give me him.
Christie grabbed Parker out of Seth's arms and he started screaming and crying.
Seth: GIVE HIM BACK!
Seth walked over there and tried to grab him but she pulled the gun out of her purse and held it up to Parker's head.
Christie: Just make the call Seth. NOW!
Seth: Please don't hurt him.
Seth had tears running down his face he was so scared that she was going to kill Parker or him. He grabbed his phone out of his pocket and he was shaking so bad that he almost dropped it.
Christie: Tell him to bring his little girlfriend so she can see him walk away with me.
Seth dialed the number and it rang like five times. He was so scared that they weren't going to pick up.
Ryan: Hello.
Seth: Dude, I need you, Marissa, and Summer to come to the park.
Ryan: Why?
Seth: Christie's here and she's got a gun and she said that if you ever want to see us again that you will come to the park. No police!
Ryan had hung up the phone and Seth hung it up and put it in his pocket.
Seth: I guess he's on his way.
Parker was crying so hard that his whole face was turning red and his breathing was really fast so he could catch his breath.
Seth: Can I have him back now please? He's scared he's just a little boy.
Parker: I w-w-want my m-m-mommy!
Christie: Stop crying! STOP!
Seth: Give him back please.
Christie: No, he's staying with me until Ryan comes with me.
Seth: Do you think he will go with you because he really wants to be with you?
Christie: He does want to be with me. He just feels like he has to be with her because of him. It's all his fault that Ryan doesn't want to be with me.
Seth: He broke up with you even before he knew about Parker. Face it, he doesn't want to be with you anymore.
Christie: He does too. You don't know him like I do. He loves me way more than he does her.
Ryan comes running up and tries to grab Parker. Christie holds the gun up to Parker's head again.
Ryan: PUT HIM DOWN NOW CHRISTIE! THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HIM! THIS IS BETWEEN YOU AND ME.
Marissa and Summer come running up and Marissa is crying.
Marissa: Please put him down. He's really scared.
Parker: MOMMY HELP!
Christie: Ryan, please just take me back it will all be different from now on. I swear!
Ryan: Please just give me my son.
Christie: You come with me and I will let him go.
Marissa shot Christie the most evil look she could give.
Marissa: Just let him go he's a baby. It's not his fault Ryan won't come back with you.
Christie: Shutup! I don't care what you say. You took him from me, now I'm getting him back!
Ryan: It's not their fault I broke up with you. I didn't even know about coming to New York or Parker until after I broke up with you. It's your fault you screwed everything up. You're the one who drank all the time and you're the one who treated me like shit. NOT THEM!
Christie: I stopped drinking! I swear this time I really did. Please take me back.
Ryan: It doesn't matter, I don't love you. You can't change overnight Christie. I know that you are drunk right now because you would never do this if you were sober. Think about what you are doing. You are putting a gun up to a two year olds head just so you can get me back. You never even really loved me you were in love with my money. I mean really think hard about it.
Christie put Parker down with tears running down her face. Parker ran over to Marissa and she picked him up and started walking away with him before she changed her mind. Parker was settling down a lot but still crying. Marissa took him to the car and put him in the car seat and locked them in there. She ran her fingers through his hair and saying "It's okay, we're fine." Ryan was standing there staring at Christie. He couldn't believe that she had done this. He knew she was kind of nuts but this was way out of character even when she was drunk.
Christie: Ryan I'm so sorry. I don't know what got into me. I just wanted you back so bad because I am broke. I really do love you, but I guess you're right I love your money more than I do you.
Ryan: You need some serious help. You know that? Get yourself some help.
Christie had tears streaming down her face.
Christie: Ryan, will you ever forgive me?
Ryan: No, not this time. I don't ever want to see you again. Please just stay away frome me.
Christie: I understand. I'm going to get some help Ry I promise. I just want you to know how sorry I am that I did this. I wasn't thinking I saw Seth and Parker and I just thought about revenge.
Ryan turned around and started to walk away. He looked back at her and gave her a look like everything would be okay. Even though he knew that he could never forgive her he was still worried about her. He did care for her, he couldn't help it. She was in his life for two years. She gave him a smile and mouthed, "I promise." He shook his head in an approving way and turned back around to walk away. Seth and Summer were still standing there, astonished about what just happened.
Ryan: Are you guys coming or not?
Summer: Oh, yeah sorry.
They ran over to him and Summer wrapped her arms around him and gave him a hug. Ryan could feel tears welling up in his eyes, but he pushed them back. He was so scared he didn't want to show it because he had to be the strong one, but he was scared to death. He pulled away from her hug because if he stayed any longer he was going to cry.
Ryan: Thanks Summer.
Summer: It's what I'm here for. You're one of my best friends I am always here for you.
Ryan: I know. Let's go.
They all walked in silence to the car where Marissa was still trying to calm Parker down. She unlocked the doors and Ryan slid in the back seat with her.
Ryan: Marissa I'm so sorry. I can't believe she did that.
Marissa: It's not your fault. You can't blame yourself.
Ryan: Parker you okay bud?
Parker: Yeah I'm okay.
Summer drove off and Parker fell asleep. They decided to drive to the doctors office to make sure that Parker's side was okay.
Nurse: Can I help you?
Marissa: I'm wondering if I can take my son to see Dr. Keets.
Nurse: I'll call his office and see if he's in. What's his name?
Marissa: Parker Cooper.
She called him and then hung up.
Nurse: He says he can see you now.
The nurse leads her back into the waiting room and tells her he will be there in a few minutes.
Dr. Keets: Hello Ms. Cooper. I didn't tell you to come in did I.
Marissa: No, but he was playing at the park and I wanted you to look at it.
Dr. Keets: Okay.
He
took the bandages off and it was bleeding a little. He put some
alcohol on it and cleaned it all up.
Dr Keets: It's fine. Just
make sure that when he goes away that he gets a doctors appointment
to get his stitches out.
Marissa: Okay thank you doctor.
They go back home and get Parker packed. Then, Marissa and Ryan take them to the airport. They say their goodbyes and they were gone. Marissa and Ryan drive back to the apartment and start getting everything packed. They packed for hours and finally went to bed at three a.m. and still only a third of the apartment was packed.
