The Escape Chapter 13, an o.c. fanfic

So here's the next chapter peeps.

Chapter 13—

The sky was dull – the clouds grey; one thing that Ryan Atwood was sure of was that it was raining; Newport just wasn't Newport without Marissa Cooper in it.

The fall was here – that was a known fact.

This scene was too familiar to Ryan and Marissa – everyone, absolutely everyone was outside the Cohen house – Kirsten, Julie, Summer, Seth even Hailey – Marissa felt sorry for Hailey – she had to lie to everyone about Ryan and Marissa, pretend she didn't know where they were; when she really did.

Only true friends did that.

Look what you made me do, look what I made for you
Knew if I paid my dues, how will they pay you
When you first come in the game, they try to play you
Then you drop a couple of hits, look how they wave to you
From Marcy to Madison Square
To the only thing that matters in just a matter of years (yea)
As fate would have it, Jay's status appears
to be at an all-time high, perfect time to say goodbye
When I come back like Jordan, wearin the 4-5
It ain't to play games witchu
It's to aim at you, probably maim you
If I owe you I'm blowin you to smithereeens
Cocksucker take one for your team
And I need you to remember one thing (one thing)
I came, I saw, I conquered
From record sales, to sold out concerts
So muh'fucker if you want this encore
I need you to scream, 'til your lungs get sore

Ryan and Marissa stepped out of the car followed by Sandy only to be hounded by friends and family – Summer and Julie grabbing Marissa, Kirsten and Seth grabbing Ryan – but Hailey waiting for Marissa and Ryan to come to her.

The same questions asked to Marissa – 'Why the hell did you run away?' and 'Are you really pregnant?'

The same questions asked to Ryan – 'Are you still going to Berkley?' and 'Are you going to live with Marissa?'

The answer to why the hell did you run away was – because Marissa wanted to escape and get the hell away from Newport with her favourite person.

The answer to are you really pregnant was – yes; and Ryan and Marissa couldn't be more excited about it.

The answer to are you still going to Berkley is also yes – Ryan and Marissa would be attending Berkley next semester in January.

The answer to are you going to live with Marissa is hopefully yes – Ryan would love to live with Marissa – hopefully she would feel the same way.

I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless lost under the surface
Don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
And every second I waste is more than I can take

And Ryan and Marissa told their families and friends this – and Ryan asked Marissa if she would live with him – in their very own apartment in Berkley – and she said yes and was ecstatic about it – they would get jobs – Ryan was already guaranteed a construction job.

Julie pulled Marissa into the kitchen – pounding her with questions; screaming at her for getting pregnant – bursting the Newport bubble, telling her she's 18 still a child but Marissa didn't agree – she was 18 but she was a young adult NOT a child.

Marissa was on the verge of tears – where the hell was Ryan?

Hailey to the rescue!

'Julie what the hell do you think you're doing!' Hailey screamed. 'She's pregnant bitch!'

'Who you calling bitch – BITCH!' Julie returned.

This was a repeat of Julie's striper party.

It really was – the part where Hailey threw Julie into the pool was hilarious – Ryan thought so, Marissa thought so.

And that's what happens when you're 18.

Ryan and Marissa where going to be a family – a happy family.

I've become so numb
Can I get an encore, do you want more (more...)
I've become so numb
So for one last time I need y'all to roar
One last time I need y'all to roar
