A/N: Thought I'd give you another update...Please review...Thanks..
I'll cry if I want too
"Happy Birthday Sweetie" Jimmy said. "Dad what are you doing here?" Marissa said panicking. "Well you didn't think I'd miss wishing my little girl a Happy Birthday did you? I know your stuffy Uncle is down in Capeside but I took a chance figuring he might have let you fly back for school. Looks like I was right" he said with a sarcastic smile.
"Look please just go if anyone finds out you're here Uncle Pacey will have you arrested so just do yourself a favor and go home" She said instinctively trying to close the door but failing as he kept his hand blocking the door from closing. "I don't think so princess" He said aiming a gun at Marissa. She looked at him and froze.
"Dad what are you doing?" She said knowing that she had to keep her cool or else this could get ugly. "I told you I am just trying to spend some time with my daughter on her birthday is that such a crime?" he asked walking further in closing the door behind them. Marissa was cornered and kicking herself for opening the door.
"No" she said walking backwards into the house. "So be grateful I came I mean at least I'm here right. I don't see your mother anywhere so I guess she forgot about the big day" He said with a drunken laugh. "She sent me a card" She said. "Oh a card how thoughtful" Jimmy said.
"Dad your drunk please just put the gun down" Marissa begged. "Why so you can run first chance you get? No chance kiddo" he said looking at her. "Please if you just walk away right now I won't tell anyone you've been here please just leave me alone" Marissa said.
"I warned you that I'd be back" He said. "Dad you wouldn't hurt me" She said. Truth was she didn't know how true that actually was right now.
" But you have hurt me Marissa. Why? I'm supposed to be your dad and yet you've told the police that I've done unforgivable things. You've lied about me when you're supposed to love me" he said.
"I'm sorry. I do love you please just put the gun down and we can talk about it. All of it we can talk okay just put the gun away" She said trying to convince him in a shaky. He looked at her and then they both heard a car door slam.
Damn Ryan for being so early she thought to herself as he got up and grabbed her arm pulling her towards the door" He peaked out the side curtain noticing Ryan coming up the steps. "Looks like you've got company" He said. Looking at him she knew that this time her father had literally lost it, it was as if he was living in his own reality and his only sense of excitement was to torture her when all she wanted was to be left alone.
"If I answer the door he's going to know something's wrong besides we didn't have plans tonight so he won't think nothing of it. He knew I was supposed to be sleeping at Summers so he'll think that I just went over there early" She explained.
Jimmy looked at her wondering if he should trust her as knocking was heard he made his decision. "Get upstairs now" He yelled. Tears were already falling as she did as she told it was already bad she was in this situation she didn't want Ryan to be involved anymore then he had too. "Come on move it" He said.
Ryan stood outside ringing the bell once more. "Come on Marissa" he said checking his watch. He was on time he just didn't get why she wasn't answering. He peaked in the window and noticed that things were placed around as if she was getting ready but there was no sight of Marissa.
He banged again. The more he waited the more anxious and worried he got. Still no answer an idea came to him thinking maybe she had fallen asleep he had tried to go through the back entrance it was usually unlocked.
"Dad please just please just talk to me" She said starting to lose it as he pushed her towards her computer chair. "Oh now you want to talk to me? When I have a gun pointed at you" Jimmy said angry. "Please just I'm sorry okay" Marissa said not knowing what else she could say.
Ryan turned the knob finding it open slipped in the back door. Hearing voices coming from upstairs he was definitely curious as to what was going on.
"You women are all the same blaming the men for everything when it's all your fault. I hope that kid your dating knows what he's in for because all your ever gonna do is cause him trouble and mess up his life" Jimmy said. Meanwhile Ryan inched his way up the stairs with the voices coming closer he realized Marissa wasn't alone. Which could only mean one thing she was in trouble.
"Dad look you don't know what you're saying" he heard her say it sounded like it was coming from her bedroom and without thinking Ryan ran up the stairs as quickly as possible without being heard. "Oh I know what I'm saying. This is reality your mother screwed up my life, and now she left me" he said. "Maybe if you just talk to her she'll see you've changed" She said.
He laughed. "Wake up Marissa your mother has left me and it's all because you couldn't keep your mouth shut. She left and it's all because of you so now you are gonna pay" He said darkly. Before Marissa could respond she saw Ryan burst into the room attacking Jimmy from his back. "Stop it" She yelled.
Marissa searched frantically for the gun and realized Jimmy still had it as he knocked Ryan to the floor by hitting him in the side of the face with it. "You still want to play kid?" He said loading the gun and pointing it at him. "No he doesn't" Marissa screamed grabbing Ryan's hand and helping him lift himself off the floor.
"Are you okay?" he said softly. "Super" she said sarcastically. "Well isn't this sweet you got yourself a boy wonder trying to come to the rescue and save you well that's a very admirable trait" Jimmy added with a fake smile plastered across his face. "Dad leave Ryan out of this okay this is between me and you" Marissa said standing in front of him.
"No this was between us until he had to get himself into it. No matter, since your uncle can't be here I guess he'll do" He said walking over and pushing Marissa out of the way going closer to Ryan shoving the gun into his chest. "Go ahead and shoot me" Ryan said daring him to.
"Ryan don't" Marissa said. "I thought all the rich kids around here would be afraid of a gun?" Jimmy said not backing down. "Well apparently I'm different" Ryan said darkly. "You don't want to do this please just let him go" Marissa said.
"You shut up we're not done first I'm gonna settle this with the kid" He said. She looked at Ryan and then looked around the room for things to use as a weapon spotting a paper weight sitting on her desk slowly backing into it reaching her arms behind her back and grabbing it.
She wasn't just gonna stand there while he hurt Ryan. She flung it hitting him in the head. Ryan looked towards her. "Marissa get out of here" he yelled. But just as she turned to run Jimmy grabbed her by the forearm grabbing a tight hold of her to his side and pointing the gun right into her neck. She cried from his violent force on her.
"What are you gonna do now? You move and she dies" Jimmy said almost daring Ryan to try to make a move. Ryan stared at her and wanted nothing more to kill this guy where he stood but he knew things were only about to get more complicated. "Princess the next time you try a stunt like that you can say goodbye to him" he warned.
"Daddy please" she begged. "Look just let her go and we'll settle this" Ryan said trying to convince Jimmy to let Marissa get out of this. Marissa looked at Ryan as if he had four heads. "No" she said. "Don't worry sweetie we're not finished here but for now we are gonna go for a little tour of the house" He said pushing the gun deeper into her throat.
"Please don't do this" She whispered. "Shut up I didn't ask for your opinion" Jimmy said yelling at her. "Okay now you sit over there" he said pointing to a chair. Ryan sat down. "Excellent now you and me little girl is going to go for a little walk" He said. Marissa cried as Ryan stood by helpless.
"Don't think about moving or she gets it you understand me" He said locking eyes with Ryan. Jimmy grabbed some rope from his jeans and tied Ryan's hands to the chair as Marissa stood quietly afraid that if she moved it would only hurt Ryan in the end. "There you go. Now you got a key to this room?" He asked her. "Above the dresser" She replied shakily.
"Okay let's go" he said grabbing her forcefully leading her out of the room and shutting the door behind them. He led her slowly down the stairs the gun no longer tucked right into Marissa's neck. She thought of a million ways of how to get out of this over and over in her head.
Jimmy didn't have his eyes on her but was looking around as they walked down the long stair case. It was now or never Marissa thought to herself as she quickly elbowed Jimmy in the side knocking the gun over the banister making it hit the floor as she quickly ran away from him running towards the back not even thinking of picking up the gun and not really having time. She ran up the back stair case and locked herself in Pacey's room.
"Now you've done it girl" Jimmy called out after her. Marissa ran to the bedside table grabbing the phone but there was no dial tone he must have cut the wires she thought to herself. "Damn it" she said to herself. She searched for objects or weapons she could use to defend herself as Jimmy had already reached the door banging on it and trying to knock it down.
Meanwhile Ryan was yanking his hands trying to loosen the ropes but in the process getting burns from trying. "Come on" he said coaching himself. Reminding himself if he didn't get out of here Marissa was going to get hurt. He tugged harder and managed to pop one of the ropes leaving him with one hand free as he worked his way around to the other side trying to free himself.
In seconds Ryan was free and got up racing towards the door trying to pop the luck on the door but it just wasn't working. "Come on damn it think" he said as a thought came to him as he stared at Marissa's bedroom window.
"Where the hell are they it's like almost eight already?" Summer said finding Seth by the side of the pool. "I don't know Ryan said he would have her here by seven thirty the latest so I can't see what could be keeping them. "Seth did you invite more people then I knew about?" Summer said looking around at unfamiliar faces.
"Like I said before Summer I don't have any friends it looks like whoever we did invite spread the word that Summer Roberts was having a bash this weekend" Seth said. There were kids completely drunk standing over by a keg that one of them brought in. "I'm gonna try Ryan's cell again" Summer said walking into the house.
Summer tried Ryan cell but it went straight to voicemail. "Atwood where the hell are you? You were supposed to have Coop here already" She said looking around noticing more people who had been uninvited completely stoned and some kids were even doing lines on the coffee table.
"Please just whatever you do just hurry up if your not here soon we're gonna be in trouble. It seems that our party for Coop it's getting to be quite a rager and one that sooner or later is going to have be stopped by the cops. Hurry up Chino" She said seeing Seth walk over to her. "So?" he said.
"Still no answer I don't understand why he wouldn't be answering" Summer said. "Yeah that is a little unlike Ryan" Seth told her. They heard breaking glass come from the living room but then heard something take a crash in the kitchen. "Oh my god" she said. "Don't worry I'll handle it you go check out the kitchen" Seth told her. Summer rushed off as Seth went to see what all the racket was about in the living room.
Marissa stood helpless in her short black dress. She examined her outfit and remembered this was supposed to be a great night. Ryan was supposed to be taking her out and they were supposed to be having fun together not wondering whether the other was ever going to live to see the nights end. The banging continued knocked her out of her thoughts.
"Marissa open the door" he yelled. "Please just go away" she screamed. Before she knew the door was being kicked in and Jimmy was crossing the floor chasing after her. She tried jumping over the bed trying to get out the door when he grabbed her foot making her fall to the floor. "Please just leave me alone" She said trying to fight him off.
He grabbed her neck. "Now you're not supposed to act like that to your father" he said. She looked in his eyes pulling at his hands. "You call yourself a father you're not a father" she said letting her anger get the best of her. He tightened the hold around her neck and slapped her so hard that the ring he was wearing cut the side of her face.
"Now because you can't behave I'm forced to go to these measures" Jimmy said pulling a needle from his pocket. Marissa looked on scared. "Stop just leave me alone" she said trying to push him away as Jimmy jabbed the Syringe into the side of her leg. After that Marissa slowly stopped fighting back. "There now you're behaving" Jimmy said as Marissa became helpless to the drug he had just sent into her blood stream.
"Okay that's it we need too shut this party down and go look for Ryan and Marissa ourselves" Summer said finding Seth by the stair case. "Okay well where's the circuit breakers that's our option to getting all of these people out of here" Seth said.
"Follow me" Summer said taking him down the hall on the left side of the first floor where they came across a closet and she opened it. They both stepped inside. Seth examined the breakers. "So what now?" "We shut the power off" Seth said.
But as Seth reached for the breaker they heard the crack of the door, the wind obviously blowing it closed or maybe it was someone playing a joke on them. Summer rushed over to the door grabbing the handle. "Shoot its locked" She said banging. "Hello. Hello is someone there. We're locked in" She continued yelling.
"There never going to hear us and even if they did they don't want us shutting the party down so it looks like we're stuck in here" Seth explained. Summer rolled her eyes.
"This is just great what the hell are we gonna do now? Coop and Atwood are missing and there are hundreds of high school kids out there that are going to trash my house. My father is so going to kill me when he gets back" She yelled. Seth looked at her a thought coming to his head. "You wouldn't happen to have a bobby pin would you?" he asked.
"Yeah" She said grabbing one from the side of her head. "But what are you gonna do with that?" She asked. "I'm gonna use it to jimmy the lock" Seth explained. "You sure you know what your doing?" She asked.
"Summer I'm a kid who up until a year ago had no real friends. One of my hobbies consisted of breaking into cabinets and closets and doors where I wasn't welcomed mostly in my house, my Grandpa's and wherever else seemed to pique my interest. So I could honestly say that I know what I'm doing" he said focusing his attention on the lock bending down and sliding the pin into the lock trying to twist it.
"Anything to get out of here" Summer said becoming anxious as she heard the sound of the lock pop and Seth twisted the door knob and the door came open. "Seth you're a genius" She said with a smile hugging him.
"Why thank you. So now okay Summer you stand and hold the door open so we don't get locked in here again and I'll switch off the breakers" He said.
"Okay" she said. Seth switched the power off and they heard kids already yelling.
"Come on Robert's time to bust up the party the Seth Cohen way" He said.
Summer grabbed his hand without thinking and walked with him to the front of the house.
The gesture wasn't lost on Seth and certainly made him smile.
