Chapter one

Seth opened the post-box to find 3 letters, one to addressed to his parents, one to him and the other to Ryan, he looked at them there were all from Greece, he remembered Greece is were Marissa was, he closed the post box and walked back up to the house and into the kitchen via the back doors, as he walked through the doors he saw his mother on the phone drinking a cup of coffee and he waited until she finished and she turned to him

"Ah Seth, thanks for getting the post in, was there anything"

"Yeah a letter for you and dad from Greece"

"A letter from Jimmy and Marissa you mean"

Seth passed his mom the letter addressed to her and then said

"I was going to deliver some of the gifts for Ryan later, is there anymore to go in"

"No, honey, just the ones in the box, we having dinner tonight with one of your father's clients tonight, so please be back at a reasonable time"

"Okay"

Kirsten leaned over and gave Seth a massive hug as he walked to pick up the box and go to the hospital to visit Ryan. He went to his room with the box to pick up his Death Cab CD and went out to his car and drove to Summer's.

Summer sat on her bed, day dreaming, when her mobile phone rang

"Hey"

"Hey Summer"

"Cohen, I will be right down"

Summer put on her shoes and collected her hand bag and went to the front of her house and got into the car. She sat down and gave Seth a massive hug, and a small kiss. They left the drive and drove to the hospital and parked up and walked in, hospitals always made Summers stomach flip to see people lying there still, it always made her sad and upset. They both knew were to go and opened the door to a tiny room to where Ryan was lying. It had been nearly 2 months now since the night of graduation and Ryan's shooting; he had been in a coma now for 2 months it always broke Seth's hear to see his brother like this. He closed the door after Summer and they both sat down on the chairs that were by Ryan's bed. Seth then opened the Box and then started to talk with Ryan even though he could not respond.

"Hey, I got you some more of your favourite sweets" he got out the box a small tub of Ryan's favourite sweets and put them on the table next to the bed, then some more cards came out to until the letter was the only thing left , he was unsure what to do with it to read it to him or what, he looked at Summer for help, she whispered that he should open it and read it to Ryan

"Okay I have a letter for you, it's from Marissa, so here goes

Dear Ryan,

I'm very sorry that I could not stay any longer than I had to. I hear Volchok is in Mexico on the run, at least he would not harm both of us for a long time yet. I do hope they final get him and he will be put away for what he did. Greece is treating me well, even though I think about you all the time. The sailing is not to bad, my dad came me a crash course, maybe when I get back we can go sailing together like at the start of our senior year. I do hope you wake up soon as it breaks me in two to see you lying there and I can't face it. I suppose I will have to go and see my therapist again sometime soon so we will all. I miss you loads Ryan and my heart will be with you always

Marissa XX"

Summer had a tear in her eye as she heard the words of the letter that Marissa had wrote to Ryan, it was like she was at breaking point and could not take it anymore. Seth put the opened letter on the table with the other cards and tub of sweets and looked at his watch, dinner with mum and dad in 5 minutes. He turned to Ryan

"Well we had better be going, see you soon" He got up, holding Summers hand tightly as they left and drove back to the Cohen house for Dinner.
