Chapter three
Marissa walked into the Cohen's pool-house which was Ryan's bedroom finding Ryan still asleep. Marissa crept over to Ryan's bed and jumped on him. "Wake up, Sleepyhead! We're late by thirty minutes." Marissa yelled.
Just then, Ryan tried getting off the bed as fast as he could but toppled over.
"We're late? What time is it? How are we late? I slept through the alarm." Ryan said to himself.
"No, silly. I just said that so you would get your butt up and hurry because we have to be at the airport in thirty minutes." Marissa said.
"Oh, well you did a good job by scaring me." Ryan said getting off the floor and walking to the bathroom.
"Yeah, I know. It's my specialty. Hurry, Seth and Summer want to drive us to the airport. I'm giving you ten minutes." Marissa said.
"Ok, Ok, General Marissa. I'm in the bathroom." Ryan said as he slammed the bathroom door.
Marissa sat on Ryan's bed and waited for him. Just then, Seth and Summer appeared in the doorway. "Hey guys." Marissa said.
"Hey." Seth and Summer said in unison.
"Is he getting ready or you're just admiring the view?" Seth asked.
Marissa laughed, "Both." She said.
Just then, Kirsten
Cohen, Seth's mom, came in with coffee for everyone and said, "Here
you go. Marissa, keep a good eye on Ryan. We don't want to lose
him."
Marissa wanted to respond but Ryan came out and said,
"Hey! I can take care of myself, thank you. But thanks Kirsten, for
everything."
"No problem. Anytime to help." Kirsten said as she gave Ryan a hug and left.
"Aw…. that was so cute! Now let's go!" Summer said.
"Ok, Sergeant Summer. Why the rush? We have around twenty minutes." Seth said.
"Because the sooner I get rid of these two, the sooner I can forget them and how much I'm gonna miss them." Summer said with tears in her eyes.
"Aw Sum, please don't cry. We will be back soon before you know it." Marissa said as she wrapped her arms around her best friend.
"Ok. But I'm still gonna be bored." Summer said.
"Summer, I said we'll have fun and we will!" Seth said.
"Ok, ok, Seth, I'll stop. But can we go now? There will be traffic on the way." Summer said.
"She's right, let's go." Ryan said. Ryan got his suitcase and went out to the pool area. He saw six Burberry suitcases and said, "Marissa, are these yours?"
"Yeah, oh I forgot to tell you, I brought six suitcases." Marissa said and smiled at Ryan.
"Yeah, I'm too blind to see. Hey, Seth, can you carry these two suitcases out to the front?" Ryan said as he picked up four of the suitcases and looked at Seth.
"Ok I'll try. Marissa, what do you have in here?" said Seth as he tried picking up the two suitcases and toppled over.
"Oh, just the usual. Thirty outfits with matching shoes." Marissa said.
"Nice! You learn from the master." Summer said as she high-fived Marissa.
Marissa, Summer, Ryan, and Seth went out to the front with Seth's Jeep sitting in the driveway. Ryan put all of the suitcases into the trunk while Marissa slid into the back seat. Seth and Summer went into the front then after Ryan finished, he slid next to Marissa. It took the Fab Four ten minutes to get to the airport. Seth parked alongside and Marissa, Summer, and Ryan got out of the car. While Ryan was taking the suitcases out of the trunk, Summer and Marissa were giving their last goodbyes.
"I'm gonna miss you Coop." Summer said as she gave her best friend a long hug.
"Me too, Sum." Marissa said.
After Ryan got all of the suitcases out, Seth came over to him and said, "Dude, I think I'm gonna miss you."
"I'm gonna miss you too." Ryan said as he gave Seth a quick hug. "We don't want to seem gay." Ryan continued.
Seth smiled at Ryan and then Ryan walked over to Summer. They looked at each other for a second but then Summer gave Ryan a big hug and said, "Atwood, I'm gonna miss you but if something happens to Marissa, I'll kill you."
"Don't worry Summer. I'm on it." Ryan smiled.
While Ryan and Summer were giving a hug to each other, Marissa walked over to Seth and said, "I can't believe I'm saying this but I'm gonna miss you, Cohen."
"Me too, Marissa." Seth said.
After the hugging, Seth went over to Summer and held her by the waist. Ryan and Marissa gathered their suitcases onto a baggage cart and smiled at them. Then Summer waved and Marissa waved back. Ryan and Marissa went into the airport and Summer started to cry. "Hey, what's wrong?" Seth said as he stroked Summer's brown hair.
"Nothing, I'm just gonna miss them that's all." Summer said as she went into the Jeep.
