Chapter 26
Ryan and Marissa woke up with the alarm clock ringing in their ears. It was five o' clock in the morning and they had to get an early start on the road trip. Marissa got up and turned the alarm clock off and shook Ryan.
Marissa: Come on Ryan get up.
Ryan: I'm up. I'm up.
Marissa: Okay, well I gotta grab a shower. When I get back you better be out of this bed and dressed.
Ryan: I kind of need to take a shower too. You mind if I join you?
Marissa: Yes, I do mind. There will not be a lot of showering going on if you were in there too.
Ryan: I see your point.
He leaned up and kissed her lips and layed back down.
Marissa: Come on get up.
Ryan: I'll get up after you get out of the shower, I need one bad.
Marissa: Okay, but it has to be a quick one because we need to get on the road soon.
Ryan: Okay.
Marissa went to the bathroom and took a shower. She got out of the shower and put a towel around her. She walked into the room and shook Ryan.
Marissa: WAKE UP!
Ryan turned over and looked at Marissa. He grabbed her hand and pulled her down to the bed and kissed her passionately. Marissa pulled away and gave him a huge smile. He tried to kiss her again and she doged him.
Ryan: What?
Marissa: You need to go take a shower.
Ryan: I don't want to take a shower. I want to kiss you.
Marissa: No you need to take a shower!
Ryan: Fine, I will take a shower as long as you promise to stay in that towel until I get back.
Marissa: Okay, deal.
Ryan got up and walked to the bathroom and took a quick shower. He got out of the shower and put a towel around him and walked back into the bedroom. Marissa was asleep on the bed still wearing the towel. Ryan shook her and she opened her eyes.
Marissa: Back so soon?
Ryan leaned down and kissed her and they started making out. Marissa stopped him again.
Ryan: What the hell is your deal woman?
Marissa: We have to get dressed and get on the road soon.
Ryan: Fine!
Ryan got an angry look on his face.
Marissa: Maybe we can spare a few more minutes.
Ryan: That's what I'm talking about.
He layed on top of her and started kissing her and caressing her body, which lasted about five minutes.
Marissa: Okay, enough of that.
Ryan: You can't just stop me. That's not fair, I'm not a water faucet I can't turn off and on like this.
Marissa: Sorry. We really have to get the car loaded and get on the road if we want to make it home by Monday.
Ryan: Who said we need to be home by Monday?
Marissa: I want to get home and see Parker. I really miss him, I've never been away from him this long.
Ryan: Okay.
Ryan got up and started changing his clothes. Marissa just layed there staring at him while he was dressing.
Ryan: What?
Marissa: Nothing. I was just thinking about how happy I am that we are together.
Ryan: Me too, now you were rushing me and you're still laying on the bed in your towel with wet hair. Which don't get me wrong, I wouldn't mind if you stayed like that all day. You're the one who is in such a hurry to go.
Marissa: Right, sorry I got distracted.
Marissa got out of the bed and took her towel off, and Ryan just stared at her. He was amazed at how she hadnt changed a bit since high school. She had gained a few pounds but it just made her all the more beautiful. He couldn't believe that they were back together after all these years.
Marissa: Hey, stop staring let's get to work.
Ryan: Hey you stared at me I am entitled to staring.
Marissa: Go pack the car up!
Ryan: Fine. Damn not even married yet and already telling me what to do and when to do it.
Ryan walked out of the bedroom and into the living room.
Marissa: Thank you.
Ryan: Yeah whatever.
Marissa rolled her eyes and continued getting dressed. She finished getting dressed and walked into the bathroom. She blowdried her hair then put it into an open box and helped Ryan pack the car up. They finally got everything packed into the car at 7:30 and then they hit the road. Ryan was driving down the road holding Marissa's hand.
Marissa: I'm hungry.
Ryan: Me too. Where do you want to eat?
Marissa: I don't really care. I'm just really hungry.
Ryan: Okay, how about there?
He pointed to a little diner on the right.
Marissa: Sounds good to me.
Ryan pulled into the diner and they got out and went in. They looked at the menus and decided that they wanted some pancakes. They ate their pancakes and left. They were back on the road talking and laughing about old times. They were talking about Seth and Summer's complicated high school relationship and how amazing it was that they were married. They talked about the kids and their hopes and dreams for them. Their convorsation was stopped by Ryan's cell phone ringing. Ryan grabbed his cell phone and picked it up.
Ryan: Hello.
Sandy: Hey kid, what's going on?
Ryan: Nothing, just driving back home.
Sandy: I'm sorry to have to do this now, but I need to tell you something.
Ryan: What is it?
Sandy: Uhm. It's about your mom.
The first person who came to Ryan's mind when someone mentioned his mom was Kirsten. He knew he wasn't talking about Kirsten this time though.
Ryan: What's wrong?
Sandy: She was in an accident. She was drunk and hit a car and she was killed instantly. Trey is already in Chino making all the plans and he really wants you to be there.
Ryan felt tears coming out of his eyes. He really loved his mother even though she abandoned him for all those years. He hadn't even talked to his mother since he moved in with the Cohens. He couldn't believe she was dead, he didn't even get to tell her goodbye. He felt the tears coming on more strong so he decided to pull into a gas station.
Sandy: I'm really sorry kid. Trey called and said the funeral is going to be on Tuesday.
It was Saturday.
Ryan: Thanks Sandy. I really appreciate you calling and telling me.
Sandy: It's no problem.
Ryan: Bye.
Sandy: Bye.
Marissa saw tears and Ryan's eyes.
Marissa: What's the matter sweetie?
Ryan: That was Sandy he said..
Ryan's voice trailed off he felt like if he didn't say it, then it wouldn't be true.
Marissa: What did he say?
Ryan: He said that my mom's dead. She was killed in a drunk driving accident. The funeral is going to be on Tuesday.
Marissa: Oh my god. I'm so sorry.
She pulled Ryan into a hug and he let it all go. They sat there for ten minutes hugging and crying together. She couldn't believe it. Marissa switched him seats and they drove until 10:00 that night. They stopped at a hotel and they checked in. They stayed up until 12 talking about his mom and all the memories, mostly bad. They finally fell asleep out of exhaustion.
