So sorry its been a while. Ive been mentally breaking down the past week or so. I will try to post more again. I did see Phantom Planet play though. They were amazing. I thought you guys would get a kick out of that. So here is Chapter 6.

Marissa wanted to give Ryan his time so she decided to take the time she thought Ryan was away to talk to her mother. So Julie and Marissa were sitting by the pool the following morning.

Marissa- So mom how are things with Caleb after discovering Lindsey.

Julie- Well we talked and agreed she can stay and get to know her father. I'm not even really upset because it is best to focus on the future. If anyone knows about mistakes its me.

Marissa smiled.

Marissa- Mom you're a great person. I want you to know how much it means to me that you are getting to know Ryan.

Julie- I can tell he really cares for you. Where is he today?

Marissa- He uh… Well I don't know where he is honestly. The girl he… impregnated well she lost the baby. He found out and just sort of left.

Julie- Well that's a hard thing to go through I'm sure. Part of him is probally happy because it makes that mistake disappear but he probably feels bad about that.

Marissa- Yeah I didn't know what to say when he found out. He just hugged me. For like an hour. He was near tears and Ive never seen Ryan like that.

Julie- Well just be there for him when he needs you. Because he will.

Marissa- Thanks mom.

Julie- No thank you. I really appreciate you giving me a second chance.

They continued to chat about less intense things for a bit until Lindsey appeared in a hot pink bikini.

Lindsey- Hey gals. Do you care if I go for a quick dip.

Marissa and Julie said it was no problem. But shot each other a look and headed for the house. Lindsey just jumped in the pool. After Julie and Marissa entered the pool Ryan appeared confused as to who was in the pool.

Ryan- Uh… hi?

Lindsey- Oh hey what is a hunk like you doing here?

Ryan stood there uncomfortable and asked where Marissa was. Lindsey smiled.

Lindsey- Why don't you hop in and forget about Marissa for a bit.

Ryan- Look I really need to talk to my girlfriend can you help me out or not?

Lindsey reluctantly answered.

Lindsey- You just missed her she went in the house with Julie.

Ryan smiled a forced smile and thanked her, before he jogged to the house and knocked on the door. To which a bikini wearing Julie answered.

Ryan- Uh… hi is Marissa here.

Julie- Yeah she is up in her room.

Ryan began to head up to Marissa's room before Julie stopped him by yelling his name.

Julie- Hey Ryan… Marissa told me vaguely what happened. I'm sorry.

Ryan smiled and continued to Marissa's room. He knocked once and entered to find Marissa laying on her bed in a bikini listening to her ipod. Her back was facing Ryan. So Ryan walked over and started to tickle her. She yelped and giggled. Ryan then let go and layed down next to her holding her hips.

Marissa- Hi.

Ryan- I missed you yesterday.

Marissa- I missed you too. Where did you head off to?

Ryan- I didn't know how to feel so I visited my mom. She uh… Its happened to her.

Marissa- Im so sorry Ryan.

Ryan- Its going to be okay. Talking to her helped me out a lot. I was thinking I might spend a week or so with her over the Summer.

Marissa- Theresa?

Ryan- No my mom. I was hoping you might want to join me?

Marissa- Of course Ryan. I want to be a part of your life. It would help to know where you came from.

Ryan smiled and kissed her lips gently.

Ryan- Your great. Do you know that.

Marissa- Yeah my great boyfriend lets me know from time to time.

Ryan smiles.

Ryan- Hey who was that girl in the pool when I came in?

Marissa- Oh that's Lindsey. She is apparently Calebs daughter.

Ryan- Wait. Really?

Marissa- Yeah I was thinking about it a little. She seems a bit off. But if she really is Calebs daughter that gives Kirsten a sister.

Ryan- Wow. It does. When I walked up I asked her where you were and she kind of called me a hunk.

Marissa giggled.

Marissa- Well she is right. But thanks for telling me that.

Ryan smiled and kissed her.

Ryan- I wanted you to know you can trust me.

Marissa- I do. So hey do you want to talk about it?

Ryan- I… Its done with. I called Theresa and we talked. She said that the doctors looked into it and managed to do some crazy dna test. The baby wasn't mine. So we can just put it behind us.

Marissa kissed him.

Marissa- If that's what you want to do. But I want you to know no matter what. Im always going to be here for you to talk to.

Ryan- Thanks.

Marissa- So when were you thinking about going to see your mom? Because I'm kind of really excited about it. She probally has some great embarrassing Ryan storys.

Ryan laughed.

Ryan- Well I was thinking maybe this Friday?

Marissa- I have to convince my mom but we seem to be getting along lately.

Ryan- Yeah I ran into her. She seems to be doing alright with the whole Caleb has a daughter thing.

Marissa- Yeah she says mistakes are one thing she really understands.

Ryan- Well hey can I ask her about going to visit my mom? It would be for a week. Or however long you feel comfortable with? So its kind of a big deal and I… Well I just want her to know Im going to watch out for you.

Marissa- Sure yeah. But right now I was kind of thinking we could do something that doesn't involve thinking about our parents.

Ryan smiled and rolled on top of her and started to kiss her neck.

Ryan- I like your thought process.

Marissa giggled. And they started making out until Ryan slid Marissa's top off and Marissa managed to get his shirt off. Marissa was working on his pants. Lindsey however entered the room.

Lindsey- I oh… Sorry.

Lindsey then ran out of the room and downstairs while Marissa and Ryan sprung apart.

Marissa- I'm really starting to hate that girl.

Ryan looked down at his excited parts.

Ryan- Yes she is quite frusterating.

Marissa giggled.

Marissa- I guess I'll go lock the door.

Ryan laughed. Marissa covered herself with a pillow and went over and locked the door. She returned and got on top of Ryan.

Marissa- Where were we?

Ryan smiled and they continued doing what they do best while meanwhile Lindsey was downstairs talking to Julie.

Lindsey- Well I just had the plesant experience of walking in on your daughter and Ryan.

Julie smiled thinking how in love Marissa is.

Julie- Yeah. Marissa and Ryan are very much in love. Ill talk with her though.

Lindsey walked away with a villainous grin. After a decent amount of time Ryan and Marissa were re dressing upstairs.

Marissa- That was… Wow.

Ryan laughed and walked over to her and kissed her forehead.

Ryan- Your amazing.

They then went downstairs and saw Julie making dinner. Marissa looked at Ryan indicating it was a good opportunity for him to talk to her about leaving to visit with Ryans mother. Ryan nodded.

Marissa- Mom is it okay if Ryan talks with you for a second.

Julie- Oh yeah Im just making dinner. Would you like to join us tonight Ryan?

Ryan- Sure if that's okay.

Julie- Its no problem but can I talk to my daughter for a second.

Ryan- Sure Ill be out by the pool.

Ryan kissed Marissa goodbye and headed out to the pool area.

Julie- So Lindsey ran downstairs tramatized a bit ago.

Marissa giggled.

Marissa- Sorry about that.

Julie- Im happy to see you so in love Marissa. Just be careful.

Marissa- We are.

Julie- Ok. Well you can go get Ryan now.

Marissa- Ok thanks mom. For caring.

Julie smiled. Marissa left and Ryan entered.

Ryan- Uh… Hi Mrs. Nichol.

Julie- Call me Julie please Ryan. Your practically family.

Ryan smiled and his nerves dropped a bit.

Ryan- Well Julie. I was wondering if I could steal your beautiful daughter for a week or so.

Julie- Where are you planning on taking her?

Ryan- Uh I was going to take her to visit my mother in Arizona. We would drive over there stay for a few days and drive back.

Julie- Yeah I guess that's okay. I trust you Ryan.

Ryan- Thank you it means a lot to me.

Julie- I know it does, that's why Im letting it go.

Ryan- Well ok. We are going to leave Friday.

Julie- Alright. Thank you for coming and asking me yourself. I know it was hard.

Ryan smiled and thanked her. Marissa then entered having heard the entire thing.

Marissa- Thanks mom.

Ryan and Julie looked at each other and smiled.

Julie- Why don't you guys go get Lindsey for dinner. Caleb will be home soon.

Ryan and Marissa left hand in hand to go get Lindsey. They knocked on her door and after she invited them in. Ryan started.

Ryan- We want to apologize for earlier.

Lindsey- No biggie. I get horomones.

Marissa nodded and whispered for Ryan to leave. He kissed her head and walked down stairs to help Julie set up dinner.

Marissa- Look Lindsey I don't want any problems with you. You seem like a nice girl. I love Ryan. We aren't just horomonal teenagers. So that means Ryan is off limits. But I hope we can be friends anyway.

Lindsey- Okay. Well how about we start over.

Marissa- Okay. Hi my name is Marissa.

Lindsey stuck out her hand and shook Marissas with it.

Lindsey- Hi my name is Lindsey.

Marissa smiled and they talked for a few minutes before they walked downstairs to have dinner. Ryan and Julie were laughing and setting the table. Marissa was so happy at that moment. Caleb walked in and they all enjoyed dinner together. Everything seemed to be working out.
