and see's Jimmy smiling at her with her plane ticket

was so full. So you'll have to take at day off school

Marissa: Yay, I can spend more time with my boyfriend and grandma and no school

Jimmy handed her the plane ticket and Marissa looked at the ticket and smiled to herself and then

looked up at Jimmy and hugged him tight

Marissa: thank you so much, I cant wait (running upstairs to get the cordless phone and call

James with the good news)

Jimmy looked up at her running up the stairs until she disppears

One week later

At the airport

Marissa waved to Jimmy, Julie, Seth, Ryan and Summer, they give her hugs and say their goodbye's

few hours later

James waits at her at the airport in New York

James saw her get out of the plane and runs to give her a big hug and leans in and kisses her on the

lips and then they walk out of the airport holding hands

James: I missed you so much, I'm so happy to see you again, you look more beautiful than ever

Marissa wore a stunning red dresstight showing her body figure and black high heel shoes, her blonde

hair waving and wore so much make-up, making her look beautiful as ever.She goes outside and waits for James,

then James arrives and his jaws dropped and he stares at Marissa while she gets inside the car Marissa leans in

and kisses him on the lips (james snapped himself and smiled at her)

they look up and see their old friends, they all see Marissa and yell out to her

Stacey: OMG, Marissa you are here (leans in and hugs her tight)

Marissa: I missed you so much, I wanted to be here because like you know i wouldn't miss it for the world.

Katie interrupted them

Katie: Hi Marissa, Your back, Yay?

Marissa: yeah just for this weekend though

John leans in and whispers into her ear: bad time, I'll talk you later okay

Marissa nodded and with that John walking away

Katie: whats that?

Marissa: what?

Katie: what did John say?

Marissa:Oh he said good to have you back (she knew she was lying to Katie)

Katie nodded

Marissa bumped into Peter

Marissa: Hey Peter

Peter: your back (they hug)

Marissa: Yeah, I'm only staying for the weekend though

Peter: I wish you could stay longer than that but better than nothing aye?

Marissa: yeah, um I couldnt find James, one minute he was there the next he's gone

Peter: I saw him walking upstairs

Marissa: thanks I'll talk to you later

Peter: sure see you later

Marissa walks to the top of the stairs, she sighs and looks up to see three doors in the hall room,

she doesn't know which door James is in so she went to first door and opened it but there was nothing

there so she closed the door, she walks up to the second door, she opens it and enters and look

around still no sign of James so she walks back again and closes the door and walks up to third door,

that is the last door I'm sure he's in here, maybe he wanted to surprise me for sex she thought to herself,

so she opened the door and gasps and see's everything so she closes the door like nothing happened and runs

straight out the house, she then sit's on the step's crying, someone heard her cry and ran to her side and cuddled

her, it was John

John: what's happening?

Marissa: I should'nt be here, I want to go home now

John: why? please tell me

Marissa:(Not sure if she should tell him but does anyway) I saw...James and Lisa

John: what? what did you see?

Marissa: together in the bed upstairs

John: my god, Lisa and James?

Marissa nodded

John: I'm so sorry, you should'nt have to be here I'm taking you home now

they drove to Marissa's grandma's place and she wipes her tears before entering the house,

she doesnt want her grandma to see her like this,

Marissa: thank you for dropping me home John, can you please not tell James I decided to go home

tomorrow I cant handle this anymore I have to go home, can you tell Stacey sorry I left early without saying good bye

John: Dont worry, I'll tell Stacey, you need to relax, I cant beleive how he could do that to you I mean your coming back

and he was so excited to see you but now this, he ruined it

Marissa: please dont get angry with him, its not worth it because I'm going

back to Newport, he cant have me anymore

John: yeah but it was good to chat and good to see you again, um do you want me to drop you at the airport tomorrow?

Marissa: oh I forgot about that, could you do that? I mean my grandma cant drive anymore because her eyesight is blurred

and not allowed to drive

John: no its my pleasure, I'm offering

Marissa: sure why not, um see you tomorrow (she hugged him and kisses his cheek)

John smiled at her: yeah, you take care, bye

Back to Newport

Marissa saw Summer waiting for her at the airport

Marissa smiled at her and give her a big hug

Summer: you rang me last night you wanted me to pick you up here what's going on?

Marissa: it just that I realised I missed it here and i missed my mum and dad (trying to excuse herself)

Summer: what about your boyfriend? I thought you missed him?

Marissa: my boyfriend is good um lets go home now, i mean I'm pretty tired and I need to sleep

I wanted to ask my parents to pick me up but you know they are at work.

Summer nodded (she knew there's something wrong with her but didnt want to push her into it)

Summer arrives at the Cooper's driveway and Marissa got out of the car and walked around to the back boot to get

her two bags out of boot, she carried the bags to the front door, she left them and walked back to Summer

Marissa: thank you for taking me home

Summer: nah, its fine but you owe me one

Marissa (laughs): yeah whats that?

Summer: I dont know I'll have to think about it

Marissa: sure bye

Summer: bye driving off

Meanwhile

Ryan and Seth were talking outside in the front yard, they were about to leave for the

diner till they saw Marissa getting dropped off at her house!

Seth: why is Marissa home so early? she was suppose to be home in 3 days time, wasn't she?

Ryan (worried): I dont know, maybe theres something wrong with her

Seth: I'm going to find out I mean I'll ask Summer, maybe she know's something.

Ryan: Yeah and she's probably waiting for us right now at the diner

At the diner

Seth and Ryan sat down opposite Summer and started eating their lunch

Seth: I saw you drop Marissa home this morning, why did she come home early?

Summer: dunno, she rang and asked me to take her home because her parents were at work,

I wanted to stay with her to talk but she said no she'll be fine.

Seth: I thought Marissa would tell you why she has come home so early

Summer: nah, she would'nt say but I know something happened up in New York

Seth: Ryan, I think you should go and see Marissa, you are the one she always

want's to talk to

Ryan: me? no I dont think she want's to talk to me about her problems

Seth: yes she does, she talks to you openly about her life she totally trust's you

Summer: yeah Seth is right I have known her for only a few days and

you've known her for well... only a few more days then but I guess you have a better chance

Ryan: fine, leave me alone, I'll see her but not right now, she need to rest and sleep

Summer (giggle): great

Seth (clapping): I'm so happy you are going over there to give her comfort, hugs um maybe a kiss

Ryan (death glared at Seth): I'm not going to do that Seth, I'm there to talk and maybe give advice

Seth: but you told me you had feelings for her

Summer: what? Ryan is in love with Marissa

Seth (happy face): yeah, he admitted it to me

Summer: Ryan, is that true?

Ryan glared at them then sighed

Ryan: Look I dont care what you think about me but I'm not going to ruin Marissa and my friendship

okay (walking away)

Seth: see he's brooding, he likes her (Summer slapped his arms) ow, what was that for?

Summer: just leave them alone for a minute

Seth: Whatever!!!!!
