Prologue:
After the whole Oliver incident, Ryan and Marissa's relationship just isn't
the same. They both know it. When Marissa tries to kiss Ryan, he avoids
her. He even turned down sex! Marissa knows that something is going on, and
she confronts him at the Valentines Single's Dance. He storms away and she
goes after him, just to see him driving off with Chino Bitch, also known as
Theresa. She drives to the pool house in a heart-broken rage.
Story: A nervous Marissa barges into the pool house demanding to know where Theresa is. "Where is she Ryan? I'm not going to lose you!" she says. "She's not here", Ryan mumbles back, almost like he doesn't care.
Marissa begs for Ryan's forgiveness, but he doesn't know if they should be together. "Look how easy it was for someone to come between us?" he says "How does you know it won't happen again?" "Ryan, you have to trust me" Marissa sobs. "Like you trusted me?" Ryan shoots back. A hurt look comes across Marissa's face. "So...that's it?" she says, then turns around and runs out of the pool house, with tears streaming down her face, and leaves the door wide ajar.
Ryan walks to the open door ... and shuts it.
Ryan turns and walks towards the bed. "Maybe I should call Theresa" he thinks. He sits down on the bed and sees the Valentines present Marissa had left for him in a pink gift bag. He grabs it off the floor and sets it down on the bed next to him.
He sees a card on rips it open (in that sexy Ryan way). A picture of them at the beach is on the cover, and he smiles a little just thinking of that day. He and Marissa had planned an all day beach trip, and ended up having a little too much fun in the water, if you know what I mean.
He opened the card, and inside it read:
Sometimes, only in the agony of parting do we look into the depths of love.
Ryan ~ What we have is too wonderful to be overcome by a fight. I know I'm wrong sometimes, well... most of the time. But I love you, isn't that what matters? Marissa
p.s. I hope this brings back happy memories.
He took a deep breath, and felt his stomach knot up. He slowly pulled the tissue paper out of the bag and inside was a little Ferris wheel. Fifty feet in the air, Ryan had poured out his heart to Marissa. He remembered saying that wanted it to work, no matter what. Then they had their first kiss.
Ryan kicks himself for letting her run out like that. He had said then that he would do whatever it took, no matter what happened. He ran outside to the driveway. Marissa's car was gone.
Ryan stood there, for what seemed like hours, regretting the way he treated the love of his life. She didn't know about Oliver. Nobody did. But he was her boyfriend, shouldn't she listen to what he has to say? Ryan was so confused now, he needed some time alone.
