Disclaimer: I own nothing except Johnny. So don't sue me, okay?
A/N: This is my first Marthie, well actually my first ever fanfic. The italicized name shows if it's Martin's POV or Ruthie's. Ruthie is 21 and Martin is 23. So please R&R any comments are welcome. Enjoy!

Chapter 1
The Break up
Ruthie
I am so thrilled! From the way Johnny had asked me out, so mysterious and guarded, I think he might propose tonight! OMG!
He had asked me to meet him there at 8. It was already 7:30. I was having trouble finding something to wear. Finally I decided on a red spaghetti strap dress that reached my knees, and black heeled sandals, I left my hair curling around my face.
An hour later I found myself in a beautiful restaurant looking over at Johnny. He looked so handsome. Not as handsome as Martian….NO! I told myself. We agreed to just be friends, and I had to remember that.
When we were half way through dinner, Johnny said he wanted to talk about something important.
"Okay, shoot," I said putting down my fork. This was it!
Johnny took a deep breathe. "Okay," he replied. "We've been going out for a while now," he continued. I had a smile slowly creeping across my face. "But I think we should see other people."
My smile stopped in its tracks. I felt my eyes fill up with tears, and I bit back a sob. I kept my face carefully blank, so he would not see my hurt and devastated face.
"I'll be going to NYU next year for my masters. It's for the best, don't you think?" he asked.
I'd love to tell Johnny what I was really thinking, but managed to hold my tongue.
"Yeah, for the best," I heard myself reply faintly
Finally it was to go home. I managed a polite 'goodbye' and walked over to my cheery red SUV (A/N: I don't actually know if Ruthie would have a cherry red SUV but I just had to put that. LOL). I managed to drive to Blockbuster to pick up a few movies, and also managed to drive all the way home to my apartment, before I broke down. I took off the heels and changed into my pajamas. I also jumped in the shower to wash off the horrible scent of this horrible night, all the while crying. I popped in the first DVD. Took out a tub of Ben & Jerry's, sat on the couch and cried, wallowing.
The next day
Martin
Where was she?
Ruthie was supposed to meet him here an hour and a half ago. Ruthie might be late sometimes, but not an hour and a half late.
I decided to go over to her apartment. I took the key out of its hiding place and opened the door and yelled 'Ruthie'.
I walked in and saw her asleep in a white tank top and plaid pajama bottoms. She looked so beautiful asleep. A Walk to Remember, the Notebook, and similar movies were scattered around along with two tubs of ice cream. Ishtar was also playing. Something bad must have happened with Johnny. My hands instantly formed fists. If that bastard had hurt her…. I felt anger settling in my belly.
I've got to hear what she had to say first. I crouched down beside her.
"Ruthie," I said gently shaking her.
"Ruthie."

A/N: Okay so that is my first chapter. Sorry if it's kind of short. I'll write more soon. Tell me is it good as in I should add to it, or bad as in I should stop now before I embarrass myself? I pretty much know what's gonna happen, but if you have any suggestions please tell me that, too. But for now READY…..SET... REVIEW! (Lol)
