"Ryan?" Marissa sounded like she was surprised to hear from Ryan, which annoyed him. He was her boyfriend for god's sake, and he had neither seen nor heard from her all damn day, not since she had left up there on that mountain.

"Yeah? It's me. Where are you?"

"Oliver and I went to the movies. We wanted to ask you to come with us but you weren't home. Shouldn't I be asking you where you were? I went to the grocery store, and when I got back like ten minutes later you were gone! I was really upset. I thought you were mad at me or something. I asked Oliver to take me to the movies because I didn't wanna sit around at home with you ignoring me, and not bothering to tell me where you were!" Ryan almost laughed when he heard that, but he was in too much pain to think much was very funny. She had been wondering where he was? Ugh- that was a little too ironic.

"Well, are you coming home?" He asked. At this point, he didn't care who should have communicated with who- he just really wanted to see her.

"Yeah, the movie just got out." Ryan breathed a sigh of relief. He was kind of mad at Marissa, yes, but more than anything, he wanted her there, stroking his hair, talking to him, just sitting with him...

"Okay, see you soon." Ryan said, feeling some of the tension releasing from his shoulders.

"Yeah, bye."
