The Comeback Girl
Chapter 8: The Saturday
Ryan POV
I drove the car in silent. The events that occurred over the week haunted my mind. Marissa sat next to me in silence as well. Our lives were going back to the way they were in High School. There wasn't a week when something new didn't happen.
Within the past week we had been planning on the new baby, Amber had brought Kyle into our lives, she had also ditched school with him one day that resulted in sending Justin Cohen to the hospital in critical condition. This had to be my kid, he's acting just like I did at that age.
"What are we going to tell her?" Marissa broke the silence that had filled the Range Rover.
"To leave us alone." I replied without hesitation.
"Do you think that's the wisest choice?" Marissa asked.
"The best. Look Marissa, this boy befriended our daughter and sent Justin to the hospital. Now that we have another Atwood on the way I think that the best thing to do is from him to just leave us alone." I explained.
"But maybe it's was a misunderstanding." Marissa went on.
"Marissa I know you are trying to see the best in him but I don't think that now is the time." I said as I pulled into the small coffee house that Theresa had worked at back in High School. We both got out of the car and made our way inside. Theresa was already there with a small cup of coffee in front of her. We joined her quietly in the booth she had picked out in the corner.
Theresa was the one who broke the silence. "I know you both must hate me by now." Theresa began as she continued to look down at the table.
"I wouldn't say that." Marissa went back to her old ways of trying to help people.
"I would." I snapped. "Do you have any idea how chaotic it got the minute you ended up back here?"
"Look, I thought that coming to Newport would just help my son, to give him a life I always wanted him to have." Theresa argued back.
"But since he's gotten here, he's caused grief to my daughter and sent Justin Cohen to the hospital." I went on.
"Ryan I thought you of all people would understand that I just want the best for my kid. I thought we could compromise. I'll pull Kyle out of Harbor and take him to Pacific. He's grounded and I'm guessing that Amber doesn't even want to see him anyway." Theresa proposed.
"No." Marissa was quick to speak up.
"What?" Theresa and myself said at the same time.
"You can't just pull Ryan's son out of his life again now that we know the truth. It's best that Ryan gets to see his own son too." Marissa argued.
We sat in silent for a while until Marissa went on. "Look, were going to have to tell the kids who Kyle really is. I mean, they have a right to know that there half brother and sister."
"Marissa's right about that but I really don't want to bother you guys." Theresa said. "And I certainly don't need any help raising the kid I have been for his whole life now."
"But he's still my son." I protested.
"And how do you think he's going to handle that? I told him his father died before I gave birth to him. And he certainly isn't going to accept the fact that the girl he's in love with is his half sister." Theresa explained.
"Wait, what do you mean in love with?" Marissa got to the question before I did.
"My boy is in love with your daughter, I hear him talking on the phone at night with his friends from back east. He can't stop talking about her; he's completely obsessed with her. I don't have the heart to do that to a kid." Theresa went on.
"Okay, that's just gross." Marissa breathed out.
"But he doesn't know and he has to before he does something stupid." I said.
"I can't tell him." Theresa said.
"You're going to have to." I blurted at her.
"Look, maybe if we just keep the kids apart they won't have to see each other then nothing stupid isn't going to happen." Theresa tried.
"But that can't happen." Marissa explained.
"What?" Theresa asked.
"Where's Kyle right now?" I asked.
"At home." Theresa said.
"Are you sure? I mean, mom's not home, he has his own car. He could be at our house right now." I looked over at Marissa.
"Look, Kyle's a good kid. I told him to stay home and that I would be back in about an hour. I trust him."
"And your trusts no good to me because he's practically kidnapped my daughter into going to South Coast with him." I went on.
"Okay look, why don't we do this, bring Kyle to Amber's birthday party, afterwards we can all talk so it doesn't look suspicious." Marissa suggested.
"Done." Theresa said.
"Fine with me." I agreed.
Amber POV
I was in the mansion all alone playing video games out of boredom up in my room. I was actually waiting for Justin to come over to talk. He was getting out of the hospital today. He had suffered a bruised rib and a sprained arm.
I heard a knock on my window, which quickly got me up. Justin doesn't have the strength to climb the grapevine to my balcony.
I quickly went to the sliding glass down that led out to my balcony and found Kyle standing out there. I was quick to lock it.
"Go away." I yelled at him.
"Amber please, can't we just talk?" Kyle pleaded at me.
"No, you almost killed Justin!" I screamed at him.
"I know and it was a stupid mistake I took. Look, I just want to talk to you." Kyle said as he began pounding his fists onto the window.
My heart began racing. I didn't know what to do. "Kyle look, maybe it's best that we don't see each other any more." I tried to calm him down.
"You don't get it do you Amber, I LOVE YOU!" Kyle screamed at me.
Tears suddenly filled my eyes. My breathing became uneasy. "Kyle I can't. You can't. Were from two different worlds. And I have Justin. I don't like you that way you're just my friend!" I shouted back at him.
"But I want to be more than just friends with you though! I want to be ours forever. I love you! I love you!" Kyle kept repeating it over and over again and kept shaking and pounding on the door.
"Kyle go away, leave me alone." I said as I ran from my room. I ran down the stairs and out the front door. At that exact moment Justin pulled up with his father. I ran to the car. "Justin!" I screamed out.
"Amber, what's wrong?" He asked as he got out of the car.
"It's Kyle, he's at my balcony shaking at the door." I confided in him. "I don't know what to do."
"Amber maybe you should come over to our place." Seth said from the car. "I don't know, it's just an idea."
"Thanks Mr. Cohen." I said as I got into the back of the Range Rover with Justin.
"And please, it's Seth. No more of this Mr. Cohen stuff."
As we drove away I looked back and saw Kyle's car parked down the street from my house and saw him as he was running towards it. His eyes on the Ranger Rover.
Omgosh I finished a chapter! I know it's been a long time since I've updated but I am overdue for one on this story so here it is. I hope you liked the new chapter. And to all my hopefully faithful reviewers….
Aragorn2pipin: Hi again! I really just hope you like my new little twist on the story.
Princess sparkle: yes it is, and I changed it… happy?
ForgottenMisfit: Sorry but we won't be getting to the new baby until the next chapter. And I hate to break it to you but Kyle is Ryan's I mean it's just a given.
Othoclvr: Thanks so much. Unfortunately my boyfriend decided to go to Arizona with his family for the holidays and is coming back on the 26th, I haven't seen him in 7 days. AHH! It's kind of driving me crazy, but I get to write more. Hopefully I'll have another chapter of this story up before he gets back. And I'm happy you want to read my poetry, just go to my profile page and grab my e mail and send me something so I can send you the link, because I can't leave it in this chapter.
Kursk: Well of course he did, he's the son of Ryan Atwood. And ryissa always stands up to the challenge!
Okay guys, the real reason why I haven't been updating is mainly because of school and now that I'm on break I can update again so you guys have something at least before Patrick comes back and sweeps me off my feet.
Yes, he's gone with his family for the holidays. He'll be back in a few days fortunately. I'm going completely insane without him here. It's like pure torture.
Anyways guys, Merry Chrismukkah!
