Chapter 29

Hey guys! Sorry about the long wait. I got a job and it's really stressful right now. I haven't been getting many reviews lately so I haven't been inspired. Thanks for the reviews I have got. If you read please review.

They drove back to Newport in silence nobody had anything to say. They actually didn't know what to say. It was a hard situation for anyone to have to deal with. At least Ryan had them to help him through it all. They pulled into the Cohen driveway where they saw Seth and Summer's car sitting in the driveway.
Ryan: What are they doing here when noone is here?
Kirsten: I don't know.
Ryan: That's a little creepy. They are like stalkers or something.
Everyone laughed and it sounded like they were really uncomfortable laughing in a situation like this.
Kirsten: Well, you know Seth he's always been a little creepy.
Ryan: You remember the Thanksgiving when he told us that he dreams about Thanksgiving?
Kirsten: Yeah, that was a little creepy.
Everyone laughed remembering the Thanksgiving.
Marissa: I wish we would have been there that day. I mean the Seth and Anna thing and the Kirsten getting really drunk. It sounded like a lot of fun. Too bad we were driving around a stolen car.
Kirsten: What? Ryan, you never told me that.
Ryan: Thanks a lot Marissa.
Marissa: Hey sorry, I figured she knew. Why didn't you tell her.
Ryan: She would have been so pissed at me. I probably would have been grounded.
Sandy: Damn right you would have.

Ryan's phone rings. He looked at the caller ID and it said Christie.
Ryan: Just the person I needed to talk to. You guys go in the house this might be ugly.
They got out and he flipped the phone open.
Ryan: What do you want Christie?
Christie: Ryan, I need your help.
He could tell she had been crying.
Ryan: What the hell do you want?
Christie: I need you to help me. This guy I've been seeing he's crazy I need your help please.
Ryan: When did you start seeing someone?
Christie: A few months ago.
Ryan: So you were cheating on me. Yeah, good luck with big crazy guy.
Christie: Ryan please.
Ryan: What the hell do you want me to do?
Christie: I don't know. I guess you found the house is that why you are so pissed off?
Ryan: Well, yeah you didn't think I'd be pissed off?
Christie: I'm so sorry Ryan I didn't know what I was doing. I heard you were there with her, I just lost it.
Ryan: Christie you can't just use "I was really drunk" as an excuse your whole life.
Christie: Ryan, I don't really have time to fight with you. He's on his way here right now and I'm really scared Ry.
Ryan: Why should I make this my problem call one of your crazy ass friends or your brothers. I just got back from a wake. I don't really feel like saving someone right now.
Christie: Ryan, you're the only person who cares about me enough to help me.
Ryan: I thought I told you that we were through.
Christie: I know Ryan and I'm really sorry for all I have done to you. Oh my god-
She started crying really hard.
Ryan: What is it Christie?
Christie: He's here.
Ryan: I'm on my way. Where are you?
Christie: Im at the Mermaid Inn, room 315.
Ryan: Okay, I have to run inside. Lock yourself in the bathroom and I'll be there in about fifteen or twenty minutes.
Christie: Hurry please. I'm scared.
Ryan: Bye.

Ryan hung the phone up and ran into the house.
Marissa: Hey, we are all going to watch a movie. You want to join us?
Ryan: I have to go, but I'll be back.
Marissa: Where are you going?
Ryan: I have to go help Christie. I'll be back.
Marissa got up and walked over to him. She grabbed his arm and pulled him outside.
Ryan: Marissa, I don't have time to argue with you. I have to go I'll explain everything later.
Marissa: I'm not letting you go by yourself. I'm going with you.
Ryan: No your not.
Marissa: I don't care what you say I am coming with you Ryan. I am not going to let you go to your ex girlfriends house without me.
Ryan: Fine but your waiting in the car.
Marissa: (under her breath) Yeah, we'll see about that.
Ryan: What was that?
Marissa: I wasn't talking to you.
Ryan: Do you want to go?
Marissa: Yeah.
Ryan: Well, then I suggest you don't say anything under your breath like that anymore.
Marissa: What the hell is your problem I was kidding.
Ryan: Yeah, well you know the kind of day I've had.
Marissa: Doesn't mean that you are allowed to treat me like shit.
Ryan: I'm sorry okay I didn't mean to hurt your feelings.
Marissa: It's okay I guess. Just stop taking stuff out on me.
Ryan: Deal.
He walked over her and kissed her.
Marissa: Don't we need to go?
Ryan: Uhm, yeah.
Marissa: You going to tell me where and why we are going.

Ryan ignored her question and got into the car. Marissa got into the passanger side seat and gave him an "I'm waiting" look. Ryan started the car and put it into drive and started driving off. He could feel her eyes burning a hole in him.
Ryan: Marissa you're staring.
Marissa: Yeah I know.
Ryan: Why are you staring?
Marissa: I am still waiting for an answer.
Ryan: We are going to the mermaid inn and your not coming in.
Marissa: Yeah right I'm not letting you go into a motel room with that crazy bitch without me. She might try to kill you or seduce you.
Ryan: She's scared some guy that she's involved with. I don't have all the details but I know she's in trouble.
Marissa: So do you just love to save people?
Ryan: I spent all of high school saving your ass so yeah I guess I'm used to it.
Marissa: Touche.
Marissa and Ryan just sat there gigling.
Marissa: So, she's staying in Newport's own den of sin?
Ryan: Yeah, that place is gross.
Marissa: I would have to say so. I mean my mom and Luke used to have sex in this place.
Ryan and Marissa shuddered at this thought.
Ryan: Can we not talk about your mom and Luke having sex it still creeps me out.
Marissa: You think it creeps you out. She's my mother and she was having sex with my ex boyfriend. Did you ever have sex with my mom?
Marissa raised her eyebrows and stared at him.
Ryan: Eww. You can't be serious.
Marissa: No, I'm not. You and my mom? How could you even think I was serious.

They pulled into the parking lot and Ryan got out. He went over to Marissa's side of the car and opened the door.
Ryan: I really wish you didn't insist on coming with me. This may get ugly.
Marissa: That's why you need me there. To protect you.
Ryan: I need you to protect me?
Marissa: Yes, I think you do.
Marissa had this cute little smile on her face. Ryan just wanted to pinch her cheeks because she looked like a little girl when she made that face. He loved when she made that face.
Ryan grabbed her hand and pulled her out of the car. She shut the door to the car and they walked up to the door and walked into the room where they saw a guy standing at the bathroom door.
Guy: LET ME IN CHRISTIE I JUST WANT TO TALK!
He started banging on the door with his hand. He clearly didn't hear Ryan and Marissa come in because he didn't turn around to look at them.
Christie: GO AWAY PLEASE.
Guy: I thought you loved me Christie. You said you left your fiance for me.
Christie: Please just go away.
Ryan could hear her bawling and they just stood there still so that he didn't hear them.
Guy: Christie just come out here and talk to me.
Christie: GO AWAY I DON'T WANT TO TALK TO YOU!
Guy: Why are you all the sudden so mad at me? I don't remember doing anything to you.
Christie: I heard about your past.
Guy: Christie, the past is just that, the past. I can't change my past. I'm sure you have some skeletons in your closet too.
Christie: I've never done anything that bad.
Guy: Cheating on your fiance isn't that bad.
Christie: Not as bad as what you did.
Marissa stood there thinking. She knew she had heard that voice before, it was soo creepy and sounded so familiar. Ryan was thinking the same thing he knew that voice but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
Guy: Christie I'm sorry I ddin't tell you that stuff. I didn't think it was relevant since at first all it was was meaningless sex but I have fallen for you. I can't help myself, your so beautiful, talented, smart, and-
Christie: Oliver stop it I don't want to hear it.
Ryan and Marissa both froze. "Did she just say Oliver," they both thought to themselves.
Oliver: Please Christie just come out of the bathroom so I can talk to you. I just want to talk nothing more.
Christie: NO! JUST GO BEFORE I CALL THE POLICE.

Ryan and Marissa figured he would be leaving so they backed up out of the door making sure to make no noise at all. They could hear the screams coming from the room and he was really scared that Oliver may hurt her. He kept thinking to himself, "I can't just leave her in there with him alone." Ryan grabbed Marissa's hand and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
Ryan: I'm going to go in there and make sure that he doesn't hurt here. You stay here and call the cops.
Marissa: Ryan please don't leave me out here alone I'm scared.
Ryan: Marissa he's inside your fine out here. She's the one who has to worry about him.
Marissa: Okay, I'll call the cops out here. Be careful you know how much he hates you.
Ryan: I know I'll be careful.
Ryan walked into the hotel room where Oliver was beating on the door harder and yelling louder than he was before. He walked up being as quiet as he possibly could his steps couldnt even be heard over Oliver's yelling.
Oliver: CHRISTIE LET ME IN NOW! I JUST NEED TO TALK TO YOU. IF YOU DON'T LET ME IN YOU'RE GOING TO BE SORRY!
Ryan walked up behind him and put his arms around Oliver to restrain him.
Oliver: WHAT THE HELL? WHO THE HELL IS THAT?
Oliver started wiggling around to get free, and Ryan knew he couldn't hold him forever. Even though he was small he was stronger than he looked. He was hoping that the police would show up soon.
Oliver: LET ME GO NOW!
Ryan had to think of something quick. He couldn't think about anything else but how bad he just wanted to beat the shit out of this guy. He ruined Marissa and his relationship and then he held her hostage and pulled a gun on her. Then, after he got out of the mental hospital he started stalking her and then raped her. He really wanted to kill this guy but he knew that Oliver probably had a gun and he would end up getting shot. He had a family now and he didn't know why he was still saving Christie. He was risking his son and his fiances life for Christie. He couldn't understand why he wanted to just walk away but he knew that if he did that then Oliver would hurt him or worse Marissa and Parker. Just then Ryan was jolted out of his deep thoughts by the police running in.
Officer: What the hell is going on?
Ryan: I need you to get this guy the hell out of here. I don't know what's really going on you can ask the girl who locked herself in the bathroom.
Officer: I'm going to need you and her to come to the station with me. Need you to fill out a report. You can let him go now.
Ryan let him go and Oliver turned to look at him. It was definately the Oliver that he remembered from high school. They cops start to put the handcuffs on Oliver.
Oliver: Ryan Atwood what are you doing here?
Ryan: Well, she was my fiance but now me and Marissa are back together.
Oliver: It's probably a good thing because your fiance was sleeping with me. Actually both your fiances slept with me. How is it that you end up with my sloppy seconds?
Ryan: It's you who ends up with my sloppy seconds. I had both of them before you. How is it that you only want people who have dated me?
Oliver gave him a look like he was going to beat the shit out of him.
Oliver: Whatever Ryan.
Ryan: I'll get my girlfriend and follow you to the station.
Officer: Okay.
Ryan walked out and Marissa and him started driving to the station. Marissa felt the memories overtake her and she broke down.
Marissa: Do I have to see him?
Ryan: No, sweetie. You don't have to see him if you don't want to. You don't have to do anything that you don't want to do. I would like you to tell the police about the rape.
Marissa just kept crying harder.
Marissa: I don't know Ryan.
Ryan: I'm here baby. I've always felt that together we can do anything.
