Chapter 1: Heartbroken

Martin walked into the Camden house once again, to tell Ruthie, or try is the right word to use. Ruthie was in the kitchen doing the dishes, when she saw Martin walk through the door.

"What are you doing here?" Ruthie asked, she was still mad at him for telling Peter not to go out with her.

"Ruthie, I need to tell you something important." Martin started.

"I don't want to talk to you." she said coldly, putting a glass away in the cupboard.

"Please, just listen to me, this is really important." he said, just as Lucy and Kevin walked into the kitchen.

"Fine talk. And while you're telling me, you should also explain to me why Meredith called me last night crying. What did you do to her?" Ruthie said, getting even more frustrated with him. Lucy gave Kevin a look, and they just stood at the doorway un-noticed.

"Okay..." Martin didn't know where to start. "That's what I wanted to talk to you about, I told Meredith why Sandy was always hanging around." He was interrupted by Annie and Eric walking into the kitchen.

"Oh, don't bring Sandy into this." Ruthie said, obviously not getting what he was trying to tell her.

"Sandy is involved in this." Martin said, "she's pregnant."

"What does that have to do with you?" Ruthie asked, worried what he was going to say next.

"I got her pregnant." he said and Ruthie dropped the dish, and it made a loud crash on the ground.

"Get out! You're not welcome here." she exclaimed, but Martin didn't leave. She walked over to him and hit him in the chest, "GET OUT!" she repeated even louder, this time tears were collecting in her eyes.

"Ruthie..." he started.

"You lied to me!" she exclaimed, "you lied straight to my face!"

"I know..." was all Martin managed to say. Ruthie looked around at her parents and then Lucy and Kevin.

"Did all of you know!" she asked, and the four of them nodded.

"I talked to Lucy...and then..." he tried to explain, but was cut off.

"So you told my parents, AND my sister! But you couldn't tell me! I thought I was your friend!"

"You are..." he said, but was cut off once again.

"Get out!"

"Ruthie..." Martin said, but after that, had nothing else to say.

"I never want to speak to you again! I hate you!" she exclaimed and hit him some more, "I hate you, I hate you, I hate you!"

"I know. I hate me too." Martin said quietly as he pulled her into a hug, after she hit him a few more times and then stopped, and just cried into his chest.
