Chapter 2- Just Living

Just living; that's what I have been doing since I let Marissa go. It's been 3 months since Marissa left to sail around the world with her father. She's calls everyday to check on me and I hear every time the edge of sadness in her voice, she tells me all the amazing places she has seen and how much she misses me. Every time the conversation ends the same, she says "I love you" but yet she seems as though she wants to say something else. Lately I have noticed that there is something really wrong but I don't want to push it.

I've called Ryan everyday for the past 3 months. These passed 3 months have seemed to be an eternity I miss him so much. I want to ask him to come with me but I can't ask him to do that even thought I know he would in a second. I just want to wake up beside him and let him hold me tight and never let go. Don't get me wrong I've been to some amazing places but nothing compares to being with him, which is all I want now and ever.

I wake up to hear my cell ringing and look at the clock 1:00 am who could possible be ringing at this hour? I check the id 'Marissa' god no! "hello? Baby what's wrong!" hey Ryan it's Jimmy "What is it is Marissa OK?"I can hear the scared tone in his voice. Ryan. . .um . . Marissa is really sick and she keeps asking for you. I can her Marissa in the background, "daddy, I need Ryan! Let me talk to Ryan" "Jimmy what's wrong what happened?" "Marissa wants to talk to you" "Ryan?" she whispers into the phone" "Baby what's wrong?" "Ry, I….I . . .I need you please come" I can hear her being sick . Jimmy takes the phone "Ryan I really need you to fly here; we're pulled into port at Sydney. . .I didn't let him finish "I'll be right there!" Thank you, I'll come to pick you up at the airport" with that I ran pout the door leaving a note for the Cohens.
