"Mac what is wrong with me?" Martin threw himself towards his bed and sighed heavily.
"What do you mean? You're not ill are you?!"
"You really are as useless as a chocolate teapot." Mac began to lick his lips at the thought of chocolate.
"Well what then? I'm not mystic meg."
"The whole jealousy issue, between Ruthie and that Jack guy."
"Oh. I'd just put it down to being protective, after all you are practically her brother." He assure martin, knowing that a secret Ruthie had shared with him the other day, would destroy his best friend. He knew full well that Martin would discover the truth sooner or later...
Flashback.
"Hey Mac can I have a word quickly?"
"Erm sure Ruthie" they walked over to a quiet spot in Ruthie's backyard. "So what do you want to talk about?!"
"Before I do, promise me that you won't tell anyone. Anyone. Especially, Martin."
Mac was overwhelmed by curiosity and hesitation, could he keep a secret from his best friend? "Promise."
Ruthie turned her body to face away from Mac "I-I-I I slept with jack the other week…"
Before Ruthie could finish her sentence Mac interrupted trying not to shout too loud in case people began to suspect things, " YOU WHAT."
"That's not the worst of it"
"Oh god, please don't tell me you're…"
"I don't know, maybe."
"Why would you do such a thing!? What will your family say? WHAT WILL MARTIN SAY? How could you do such a thing to him, he's crazy for you."
"He's what?" she was taken back by the last few words Mac spoke.
"Great, I've let it slipped. Why tell me all this out of everyone, Ruthie we aren't even that close!?"
"Because you're the only one I can turn too, especially after what you have just told me about martin! Can you drive me to the clinic in minute to find out?"
"Okay..."
Their convocation was interrupted by Mac's cell. He glanced at the caller ID, it was Martin.
"Hey Martin." Whilst glaring at Ruthie.
"Hey, fancy going to the batting cages?"
"I can't sorry I've got plans"
"YOU have plans, that's a first" martin laughed
"Ha ha very funny. maybe some other time yeah?"
"Yeah sure, there's something I got to ask you as well, pop round mine in the next couple of days."
"Sure dude."
"Bye"
Mac hung up and glared at Ruthie. "Do you even realise how hard it's going to be, Martin's my best friend and when he finds out about this, its going to kill him, after he kill's me first for not telling him. Just get in the car.
Ruthie stepped out of the Doctors office, looking pretty shaken up "I have to go back for the results on Wednesday."
"Okay well we better be going, gives me a call in a couple of days and ill bring you back here."
"Thanks Mac"
End of flash back.
"Yeah maybe you're right, or maybe I am falli…"
Mac's call began to ring, It was Ruthie.
"Hey."
"Mac remember what day it is?"
"Err Wednesday"
"Yes, can you take me to clinic in about an hour?"
"Sure I guess, Bye."
"Who was that?"
"Oh it was my mum, wondering if I'll meet her for coffee in an hour."
"But you don't drink coffee, it's to sophisticated for you." He laughed
"What are you trying to say Brewer?" looking at him in a sarcastic manner.
"Ha … nothing" he pulled an innocent expression, "Well you better get showered, you don't smell that fresh."
"Cheers Martin, nice to know I have such a good friend"
"HAHA anytime."
Ruthie walked out the doctor's office; Mac couldn't read her expression, he was anxious to find the results…
"Well are you?"
"I…"
WHAT DO YOU THINK GUYS WORTH CONTINUING?
