So guys another post! Thanks again for the reviews. Sorry if I upset you S/S fans on that last post. But like I said don't worry. Well this post is gonna be mostly in Newport but the first part will be in Aspen . . . so here it is!
Marissa was on her way to Brittany's apartment just to tell her she was back and to check on her. She still couldn't believe what Ryan had said. But the main problem was: Was he telling the truth or not? Marissa found herself asking this question over and over in her head. She didn't know what to do. She had only known Ryan for a day and she felt like she'd known him for a million years. Maybe she shouldn't have trusted him at all. But her heart was telling her to. Oh well too late now. She had told him goodbye forever just an hour ago. There was no way he would forgive her if he was telling the truth. But that was the question. WAS HE TELLING THE TRUTH? Well she was about to find out.
Marissa got out of her car in the parking lot next to the apartments. She looked to the left of her and saw Brittany's car. Too bad she didn't look to the right to see Logan's.
Marissa walked up to Brittany's door and knocked. She heard noise so she knew someone was home. She knocked again and there was still no answer so she took out her key that she still had from when she lived there.
Marissa let herself in quietly. She heard giggling coming from her old bedroom.
Marissa: Hey Brittany I was just coming to tell you that I was here looking for Logan and I decided to stop by to check on . . . you.
Marissa walked in on Brittany and Logan in bed together. She couldn't believe it. Ryan was telling the truth and she hadn't believed him.
Marissa: What the fuck is this? I come here to look for you, to make everything better between us and here you are with this slut in bed. So Ryan and Summer were telling the truth you did cheat on my 2 years ago. And Brittany I know Nicki is Logan's baby. And here you are Logan cheating on me again.
Logan: Marissa we're not together anymore. It was over when I left Newport. And yeah Marissa I did cheat on you so what. We weren't serious anyway.
Marissa: Logan I loved you and trusted you and you go and sleep with one of my friends and in my old bedroom!
Logan: Yeah you got a problem?
Marissa: Actually yeah I do. With both of you. How could you do this Brittany? You knew I loved him. You little whore.
Marissa walked over to her and slapped her right across the face. Brittany looked stunned. She fell back against the bed and held her hand to her cheek where a hand print was appearing.
Marissa: As for you. You're the bitch. You don't deserve anyone after what you've done to me. And just to make sure you can't knock up another ho. Here's a little gift for you this time.
Marissa walked over to him and kicked him so, so hard in the bad spot - hint hint - that he fell to the ground and started to cry. Then she picked him back up and kicked him again. Finally when she was satisfied, she grabbed all of Logan's money out of his pocket that he had won and left.
Once she got to her car she broke down. She wasn't crying cause Logan cheated on her - she had a felling he did anyway - but for the fact that she didn't believe Ryan. She got enough strength to drive back down to the airport and get a ticket on the first flight back to Newport.
Back in Newport, Ryan was at home brooding - as always - and replaying the events from the past hours. He couldn't believe Marissa didn't believe him. He actually was mad at her for not. He had trusted her. Why couldn't she trust him? Just as he was about to get a beer to drink his troubles away, he heard a knock on his door.
He went to his door and answered it. He was surprised to see a crying Marissa with all her bags in her hands at his doorstep. He didn't know if he should shut the door or let her inside. But with her in this condition he had to let her in. Even though she was a mess, she was still an angel to him. He let her in his house and once she got inside, she immediately broke down right in his living room floor.
Marissa: You were right. He did cheat on me. I'm so sorry I didn't believe you. I walked in on him and Brittany in my old bedroom! Ryan I'm so sorry! The baby is his. Ryan I don't know what to do now. Everyone I know is either mad at me or I'm mad at them. I'm sorry I told you not to talk to me again and I don't even know why I'm here. You'll probably never forgive me and then I'll be all alone. Again. I'm sorry I even came here. I'll just go now.
But before she could even get out of the door. Ryan wrapped his arms around her in a VERY tight hug. He couldn't stay mad at her like this.
Ryan: Shh . . . It's okay. I'm sorry too.
She was all alone. I mean sure she had Seth and Summer but they were having their own problems now.
Ryan pulled away and wiped away a tear from her eye with his thumb and smiled. She stopped crying once he smiled and she smiled back. They sat there in silence just staring into each others eyes until Ryan pulled away.
Ryan: So I'm gonna need help thinking of a plan to get Seth and Summer back together. You can help I mean if it's not gonna be too awkward.
Marissa: No I'll help. I mean they are our best friends and I should have some part in this.
Ryan: Yeah so lets get started. You can just set your bags by the door. While we are on that subject, where are you staying tonight.
Marissa: My house.
Ryan confused: In Aspen?
Marissa: No silly, next door. That house is in my name ya know. I didn't put it in Logan's name so it's mine. And I didn't tell you this but I took all the money he won from the lottery after I kicked him about 5 times and slapped Brittany across her face. So now I'm rich!
Ryan: Wow! Now I know not to mess with you but are you gonna live here for good. Because that would be cool.
Marissa laughing: Yeah, so I guess that means we can be friends I mean if you're not still mad at me.
Ryan lied: Marissa I was never mad at you.
Marissa curious: Really . . .
Ryan: Ok a little bit but let's put the past behind us. And yeah I would love to be friends.
Marissa: Ok . . . Well then lets get started on that plan. Did you come up with anything while I was gone?
Ryan: No but I was thinking that we could get them to meet 3 days from now. I mean that's the day of their anniversary. So I think it would be cool.
Marissa: Yeah but hold on you never told me why they got in a fight.
Ryan explained to her all he knew about their fight. By the time he was done it was 3:00 in the morning and Marissa had fallen asleep on Ryan's couch. He didn't want to wake her so he just laughed and put a blanket on her. She looked so beautiful and peaceful when she was sleeping and he didn't want to move her.
He watched her sleep for what seemed like hours but was really just a couple of minutes. He wanted to make sure she was safe so he just slept in the chair next to the couch. Marissa was really awake though and she liked the thought of how Ryan decided to sleep down here to. She thought of how thoughtful and gentle he was. She finally fell asleep at 5:00 unaware of how tomorrow's plan was gonna work out.
Marissa woke up to the smell of pancakes at 11:00. She looked around the room and finally remembered how she got there. Ryan came walking in the room with a tray of pancakes with 2 glasses of orange juice on it.
Ryan: Morning!
Marissa: Mmm . . . morning.
Ryan: If you are wondering why you are here. You fell asleep when I was telling you about Seth and Summer's fight and I didn't want to wake you and you were shivering so I put a blanket on you and let you sleep here. And to make sure you were ok, I slept down here to.
Marissa: Oh okay. Thanks. Now enough talking I'm hungry.
Ryan and Marissa ate their breakfast and went and changed into different clothes and took showers. They decided to go to lunch at the diner and discuss their big plan.
Waitress: What can I get you guys?
Ryan looked at Marissa and she nodded.
Ryan: We'll have 2 cheeseburgers, 2 orders of chili fries, and 2 sodas.
Waitress: Wow you guys order the exact same things as my other costumers, Seth and Summer Cohen. They always have that. Do you guys know them?
Marissa: Umm . . . Never heard of them in my life.
Waitress: Oh ok well your order will be out in a few min. K
Marissa: Thanks
Ryan looked at Marissa confused.
Ryan: Why did you say that?
Marissa: Because if Summer or Seth come in here she might say something to one of them and then they'll know I'm back.
Ryan: You don't want them to know you're back?
Marissa: No, cause when we get them with our big plan it will give them something to be happy about.
Ryan: Ok but speaking of the plan, What is it?
Marissa: Well I was thinking that on their anniversary you could tell them both to meet you your house. Once they get there, we will hide and when one of them says "What are you doing here," which one of them will, we could jump out and tell them. I think we could just wing it. I mean not write down what we are going to say but just say it when the time is right. Like how about you say everything you can think of why they are together and when you are done I will come out and say because they love each other.
Ryan: Yeah and that they should be together because they can't stay mad over a misunderstanding forever and that they belong together and I could tell them all the reasons why they belong together.
Ryan and Marissa weren't really talking about Seth and Summer anymore. The both new they loved each other but they had to keep pushing their feelings away to deal with Seth and Summer.
Marissa putting out her hand: Ok so do we have a plan. I know it doesn't sound good but it will be. Deal
Ryan shaking her hand for a LONG time: Deal
It was the day of Seth and Summer's anniversary. Ryan and Marissa had mostly spent their time together either swimming in Marissa's humongous pool or just watching movies inside and going over their plan. They were growing closer together by the second. Now they weren't just friends, they were BEST FRIENDS
As for Seth and Summer, Summer had been spending most of her time in bed being upset and angry about how Seth didn't believe her. She had stayed at Daffany's and went to visit Adam for a day. Adam had no clue what was going on just that mommy and daddy weren't together at home.
Well Seth was a different guy. He spent most of his time thinking about if he should trust Summer or not. Sure he would go to parties and girls would hit on him but he would just shrug them off because he still loved Summer.
Ryan and Marissa were at Ryan's house just hanging out until 4:00 cause that is when they were gonna put the plan to action. It was 3:00 so they had an hour to prepare.
Marissa: Hopefully this plan goes well
Ryan: I know. They can't throw their marriage of 5 years away. And plus they have Adam and they still love each other.
Marissa: Well today they will see that.
It had just turned 4:00 and Ryan was just picking up the phone to call Seth.
Seth tiredly: Hello
Ryan: Hey man it's Ryan. I just wanted to say I'm sorry about the other day and that I wanted to know if you wanted to play some playstation.
Seth: Yeah sure dude. That would cheer me up. I'll be over there in 10. K
Ryan: K man bye.
Ryan didn't even wait for him to hang up. He had to hurry and convince Summer to come. He gave a quick thumbs up to Marissa hiding on top of the stairs before dialing Summer's #.
Summer: Hello
Ryan: Hey Sum. Do you want to come over and hang out? Ya know maybe go swimming, watch some movies, go shopping.
Summer: Atwood and shopping. Ok what's up.
Ryan: NOTHING I SWEAR!
Summer: God, Ok yeah I'll come over. I'll be there in 5.
Ryan: Ok be careful bye
Summer: Bye
Ryan quickly went to the top of the stairs with Marissa and watched his plan unravel.
Seth walked through the open door and saw no one. So he just shrugged and went to sit on the couch. He just figured Ryan was in the bathroom or something. Well he wouldn't be sitting for too long because he heard the door open and turned around to see Summer.
Summer: Hello Ryan I'm downstairs. Thanks for inviting . . . me.
Seth: What in the hell are you doing here?
Summer: Ryan what's going on?
Ryan came from the stairs as Marissa stayed up there. Summer was already starting to cry so Ryan decided to speak.
Ryan: Ok Seth I know you hate Summer right now but guys it's your anniversary of 5 very intense years, both good and bad. But you guys can't just throw that all away from some silly misunderstanding.
Seth interrupting: A silly misunderstanding! Dude she . . .
Ryan: Seth let me finish. You guys have a kid together and every time you guys get in a fight, look were you end up. Back together. So there must be a reason for that and why you are married to each other.
Seth: And why is that Ryan?
Marissa stepped out from the stairs as Summer started to cry more and Seth just stared.
Marissa: Because you love each other that's why. You guys have been through hell and are still together. Don't let this ruin it. Seth all I want to tell you is that I believe Summer when she said she didn't kiss him and you should too. I mean don't you think she would have left you by now if she didn't love you. Do you think she would actually wait 5 years. Trust me I wouldn't.
Seth was slowly starting to get it. Summer did love him and she would never do anything to hurt him. And he still loved her. He kicked himself inside for not trusting her.
Seth: OMG Marissa you are right. Listen Summer I am so sorry. I should have trusted you. I love you and I always have, even when I was mad at you, you were all I could think about.
Seth started to get down on his knees and Marissa was crying at the sight and Ryan was watching very carefully.
Seth on his knees: Summer I know you probably hate me right now because I didn't believe you and that you probably don't want me back but I am begging you Summer Roberts. Give me another chance. I mean think of Adam. And plus Ryan and Marissa are right. I did make a big deal out of this and I should have talked to you about it. I love you Summer. Please give me one more chance please.
By this point Summer was balling. She really thought Seth was gonna leave her. Kirsten and Ryan were right when they said he would come around. Summer stopped crying for a minute and looked Seth straight in the eyes. All she saw was pure sorrow and guilt. She couldn't be mad at him.
Summer whispering: Ok
Seth: What?
Summer: Ok Seth I forgive you!
Seth got of his knees and gabbed Summer into a long passionate kiss. Marissa hugged Ryan so tight he could barley breathe. Ryan felt a big connection with Marissa when she hugged him. There were practically fireworks in his living room. It sent shivers down his spine as it did the same to her's.
Marissa, Seth, and Summer were all crying. Ryan wasn't but he had a huge smile on his face.
Seth: I love you Summer and I'm sorry. For every thing. For throwing my rings and your anniversary gift on the floor and for making you ever doubt that I don't love and trust you. By the way happy anniversary sweetie.
Summer: I love you too Cohen and Happy anniversary.
Ryan and Marissa looked at each other and counted to 3.
Ryan, Marissa, Kirsten, Sandy, Adam, Luke, Jake, Anna, and a whole bunch of other people: Happy anniversary!
Everyone jumped out from their hiding places. Some were crying and some just had smiles on their face. Summer and Seth were confused.
Summer: Did you guys just hear everything we said?
Luke: Yep and it was beautiful. Good job Cohen. I like the begging.
Seth: Mom, Dad, Adam. Did you guys know about this little fight me and Summer had?
Sandy: Yeah and Ryan and Marissa called us up with their big plan to get you guys together and Kirsten had the idea that we surprise you we you did.
Seth: But what if we didn't get back together?
Kirsten: Oh you were gonna get back together. We just knew it.
Adam and Jake: Enough talking! Let's party!
Everyone had a great time. There was even cake at the party. There was no alcohol because Adam and Jake were there.
After the party, Seth and Summer had to explain to Adam what happened and that he couldn't go over to Jake's anymore but that he could get dropped off at Sandy and Kirsten's house and they could pick him up from there because Seth and Summer never wanted to see Brad again.
Adam went home with Sandy and Kirsten and the only people left were The Fantastic Four. Marissa and Ryan were laying on the couch and Seth and Summer were on the bean bag chair on the floor. They were all watching a movie.
Seth: Marissa you never told us why you are back in Newport.
Marissa explained to Seth and Summer the whole story and Summer spoke up.
Summer: I'm sorry Coop I never told you but you were too happy.
Marissa: Yeah well I'm happier now cause I'll be living in the same town as you guys.
Summer crying: Really! OMG Coop I'm so happy. This day just keeps getting better and better.
Seth: Ok well it's getting late and me and Summer need to do some celebrating of our own.
Ryan: Too much information dude.
Seth blushed: Sorry so I guess we'll see you guys tomorrow?
Marissa: Yeah you will! Be careful you guys ok!
Summer: K and thanks you guys for everything.
Ryan: No problem.
S/S: Bye
R/M: Bye
Marissa: So I think I should go too. I mean I want to get enough sleep to hang out tomorrow and I suggest you do the same.
Ryan: Ok
Ryan walked Marissa to her house and stopped at her door.
Ryan: So see ya tomorrow!
Marissa gave Ryan one last hug and then surprised him by kissing him on the cheek.
Marissa: Thanks for everything. You were really great today and now we can relax cause the whole Seth and Summer issue is resolved.
Ryan: Yeah we can do anything we want now.
Marissa: Yeah together.
Ryan just stared at Marissa and finally he decided he just couldn't hold back anymore. He gave her a quick peck on the lips as a goodnight kiss. She was shocked but just kissed back.
Ryan: No, Thank you and just to let you know, that was not counted as our first kiss. That was a goodnight kiss. You'll know when our first kiss is. Goodnight Marissa Cooper.
Marissa couldn't say anything back. She was surprised that he kissed her but she was more surprised because he said that she'll know when their first kiss was. So he did like her and that wasn't gonna be her last kiss from him.
Ryan had a big smile on his face. He couldn't believe he had the courage to do that and that she kissed back even if it was just a quick peck on the lips. Now that Seth and Summer were back together, nothing was in the way of them getting together. See they had to push their feelings away to stay focused on S/S but now that everything is perfect. They would finally get together!
Ok guys that was an extra long post but see! I told you everything would be alright! The next post will be all R/M baby but I'm not sure when I'll be able to post next. I mean for me school is starting next week and I'm not sure if I will have time but I'll be sure to post as soon as possible. Thanks for everything and please review!
