Chapter 9: The fall.

'Mom is that you?' Seth asked anxiously as he paced through the room and everyone was looking at him, he had tears of happiness that were brimming his eyes. He was talking to his mom after these last couple of days he was finally feeling the hope rush back into him again. His parents would always make things better they just always did.

'Yes honey it's me…' Kirsten said with genuine happiness, her baby was okay. She let the tears escape which had been pooling in her eyes and suddenly became her worried self again, one of her babies was okay yes but the other one she didn't know if her other baby was okay too. 'Is your brother with you?' Kirsten asked she never addressed Ryan as Seth's brother before she always asked about him while saying his name.

Seth however didn't think twice about it, he had always seen Ryan as his brother and it felt so much more real and better when other people saw it too. 'Yeah mom Ry is here.' he said while looking at his anxious brother who was standing next to a quiet Marissa who was holding onto him for her dear life.

While Ryan heard one part of the conversation he smiled slightly, Kirsten asked if he was there, she was worried about him as well. For the first time since ever he felt a real son of hers. He quickly saw himself as the son of Sandy and the brother of Seth but never once tried to convince himself he was also a son of Kirsten, because she was different she didn't want him in the first place so he didn't quite know what he was to her, but now he knew he was her son…the thought made Ryan smile even in this complete mess, he smiled because after all of this he had his mom to go home to.

'Honey where are you?' Kirsten asked as she looked at her husband who was waiting with anticipation. 'Please say Italy…' Sandy said quietly from his position from the sofa.

'I don't know…' Seth said while looking around the room yet again and seeing Luke and Emily were now awake too watching Seth's every move. Summer got up and soon stood next to him Seth didn't know why but when he felt her hand in his free one he understood she needed him too, just like Marissa needed Ryan and Emily needed Luke. She needed him, 'her Ironist'.

'Honey I want you to call…' and that's when there was a loud beep through the phone and then several beeps followed. Kirsten looked at her phone which said 'conversation ended'. She shook her head and threw the phone away as hard as she could while cursing under her breath. Sandy knew exactly what was going on and shook his head in fear what was going to happen to his boys.

'Mom…mommy' Seth asked he didn't care he said 'mommy' because in that exact moment the hope he had just recreated again was yet again flushed away in a matter of seconds after hearing nothing but a loud beep. 'Damn it!' he cursed out loud while walking through the room and shaking his head, his phone was completely shut off, his battery must have died. 'What are we going to do?' he asked several times addressing his brother as he did so.

'I don't know Seth…' Ryan said while holding Marissa tighter to his body, while he felt her shake slightly.

Marissa looked up into her best friend's brown eyes and saw the tears which were falling down her face; Marissa however couldn't cry anymore it was as if she was in complete shock. When she was a little kid, actually even now this had always been her worst nightmare, not that she would be trapped in a house, but that she would get raped and after the entire Trey incident she knew it could actually happen to anyone, but now here she was with a trauma hanging above her, her boyfriend, his brother and her best friend she didn't even know if she could trump this one.

'Well think of something you're always the smart one…think of something.' Luke suddenly said also addressing Ryan.

'Luke…' Emily quietly said as she tried to remain the peace between her boyfriend and one of his friends, especially when she saw Ryan look at him with what must have been the most killing glare ever.

'What the hell Luke…I can't fix this…I can't just make all of this suddenly go away!' Ryan yelled back at him.

'Guys…' Summer said as she saw her best friend and her friend look at each other with so much hatred.

'Well normally you're always good at making things go away…like the escapee we had in this house just hours ago and now he's dead!' Luke said. Seth closed his eyes when he heard Luke because he knew it was only a matter of minutes when he would hit a nerve he looked at Ryan who was looking at Marissa who was staring at Luke in shock why had he have to bring him up again.

'So this is all my fault!?!' Ryan yelled again. He let go of Marissa and started to walk towards Luke who was letting go of Emily and was walking towards Ryan eyeing him up and down as he did so. The blood was rushing to his brain so fast and his heart was beating a mile a minute while he saw Ryan's eyeballs turn into fireballs.

'You killed him…and now we're in here with a dead body…we saw you kill someone you didn't only traumatize yourself and Marissa but you also had to traumatize us.' Luke said he didn't really think it though but he was just so scared and fighting with Ryan was better then thinking of all the scenarios that could happen. Ryan probably saved their lives by killing that man, he was raping Marissa and maybe after that he would kill her and then would rape Emily or Summer.

'Luke stop it!' Seth yelled as he stood in front of his brother and eyed Luke. 'Just shut the hell up okay…you can't blame Ryan for what happened…he probably saved us, and if you blame him you will only help yourself with it.' Seth said as he tried to be the reasonable one.

Marissa was now standing next to Summer holding on to her hand with all her might, she was so scared of everything that was going on, and so was Summer because when Marissa looked into her friends orbs they had been showing one emotion; fear.

'I'm sorry Ryan…it's just everything is so messed up you could go to jail…' Luke said and Ryan knew it was true he had been telling himself the same thing over and over again but hearing it from Luke's mouth made it sound all the more so real…and it was real…he killed someone the chances that he wasn't going to jail were minimal.

Marissa looked at her boyfriend and the thought hit her, he could actually go to jail and not just for a couple of years no probably for life. He killed someone to save her yet again he was her night in shining amour but now the consequences were serious. She was going to loose him, what was she going to do without him, who was going to comfort her and tell her everything would be okay, who was going to save her from herself, who was going to sit next to her at the Lifeguard stand, who was going to just be with her and make her feel like she was on top of the world…the only person who could do that was Ryan and now she was going to loose him.

Seth saw his brother's expression turn from anger to one of complete fear, but he didn't look scared because he was going to jail he looked scared of something else. Seth followed his gaze and it was as if everything in that moment was going in slow-motion. He saw her fall slowly and saw his girlfriend's mouth move frantically but couldn't understand a word of what she was saying. He refocused and listened intently to her.

'Marissa!!!!' Summer yelled as her friends hand let go of her and she fell back on the hard tile floor, her head connecting with the floor with a loud bump. 'Oh my God, Ryan!' Summer said again as she sat down on her knees and held Marissa's head in her shaking white hands.

Seth saw Ryan run the few steps over to them and collapse on his knees as he checked her heart beat now everything happened so fast it was barely graspable. He heard Luke's 'Oh my God' and Emily's gasp as she saw the scene unfold it self. Seth shook himself out of his trance when Summer cried hard.

'No Marissa come back…Marissa!' Ryan said as he started to perform CPR on her, what happened to her. 'Marissa!' he yelled while continuing to push his hands in and out of her chest.

He saw her irises come back again and look at him while she choked, she tried to breath but her body was fighting the oxygen so she was choking looking into her boyfriend's eyes and pleading with him, she then looked at Summer and saw her crying, soon a new set of pairs came in her vision it was Seth and that was the last she saw before everything went black again.

Her irises rolled to the back of her head and her eyes were open but only the white could be seen, her face was red because of the choking, her body was shaking slightly and she could faintly feel her boyfriend's lips on hers she could faintly smell his scent as he breathed into her mouth in an attempt to bring her back to him.

'Marissa…Marissa…Riss wake up…' she heard his voice call to her in the distance.
