It had been five months since Ruthie had last seen Martin. Five months since she had seen his smile, looked into his eyes, or heard his voice. She couldn't understand why he hadn't called her or emailed her, something that let her know he cared. For five months she sat in her room sulking in the silence and despair that had come over her. No smile had graced her once happy joyful face, no laughter was heard from her soft sweet voice, and all her love that she had once had and shared was gone. It was as though the very essence of her was being sucked out from her soul. That she was slowly being erased and all that would be left of her would be this empty shell of her body with nothing inside except a broken heart.
It killed her parents to see their daughter in such a dark and gloomy state. They could do nothing except sit back and watch as she sank further into the sea of despair and sorrow. Their little girl that was once the most happiest and joyful person had disappeared right before their eyes. Her body was there; but her heart, soul, and mind were not.
Ruthie had been so angry and hurt at Martin for doing what he did that she shut everyone out of her life that cared about her. She wouldn't let anyone come close to her or even speak to her. She had become a ghost. They could hear her moving around but they couldn't see or touch her. It was though she had built this wall around her, keeping her safe from ever being hurt again. But in fact the wall was actually hurting her more than it was keeping her safe. Like wine in a wine bottle, Ruthie's feelings were bubbling and fizzing, and just like a wine bottle her emotions would push so hard that she would eventually pop.
Each day the Camden's all tried to cheer Ruthie up and make her smile, but nothing worked. Not even the shopping spree her mother took her on worked. And that was a shocker because everyone knew that Ruthie loved to shop and never turned down a day at the mall.
No one would have expected that she would have taken it so hard. Yea sure they knew that she had feelings for him, but they figured like any other crush that it would just go away. But they were wrong, very very wrong.
