Today Ruthie Camden's life is going well. Her mom and dad had allowed her to go to the party with Martin, since he will be there. Martin and Ruthie told Mr. And Mrs. Camden that there would be no drugs. Until this fair day, Ruthie Camden's life will change forever.
" Mom, Dad Martin and I are leaving for school! Bye!" Ruthie yelled upstairs and headed for the door.
" Bye honey, Bye Martin. You guys have a good day.!" Annie Camden Yelled down the stairs while getting the twins up.
" Martin, I don't believe mom let me do to the party! I am so excited! I thought mom would never tell me. When I was in 8th grade mom wouldn't even allow me to go to the " Couples Party!" Ruthie squealed in excitement and hugged Martin.
Martin and Ruthie got out of the car and grabbed their books. They walked up the stairs to the door of the school and walked in. Mac started walking towards Ruthie and Martin.
" Hey Ruthie, Martin." Mac said while looking at Ruthie.
" So.. What time are you guys coming over to the party?" Mac paused for a second and continued. " You know there are going to be a lot of kids there tonight." Mac asked Martin and Ruthie.
" How about, um, eight." Martin said. They can stay out late since it is a weekend.
" I am so glad you invited me, you're my best friend!" Ruthie announced and hugged Mac.
Martin and Ruthie walked through the back door of the house and was about to walk upstairs until Annie stopped them.
" Hey, how was your day?" Annie asked while putting the cookies on the table.
" It was good, why do you ask?" Ruthie asked looking at the cookies on the counter.
" You know if you don't want to you don't need to go to this party." Annie said but, she remembered she was in tenth grade now.
" Mom, I want to go!" Ruthie half yelled and half said.
" I wasn't stopping you from going. I was just stating if you still want to go you can if you don't want to go you don't. If you don't relax with your tone you will not go to the party, understood?" Annie said and looked at her daughter.
" Yes, mom. I am going upstairs for a little while, okay, bye." Ruthie said and stomped up the stairs.
Ruthie and Martin were getting ready for the party that night. We all know Ruthie is very excited for this party. This is Ruthie Camden's first official party, with out a parent. Ruthie went and grabbed her skirt she was going to wear, It was black with a see through lining on top of it. Martin, was not going to get all fancy like Ruthie. He was just going to wear his Jeans, and A shirt, he was like " I am not going on a date, so why get dressed up that fancy, huh?" Martin thought to himself.
Martin walked up the stairs to her room and knocked on her door.
" Ruthie, are you ready to go?" Martin asked.
" Yes, I will be down stairs in a minute." Ruthie responded and grabbed her purse and her jacket.
Ruthie walked out and Martin and Ruthie went into his car and drove off to Mac's house. When they got there, Ruthie went up and rang the door bell.
" Oh, hey you guys, I thought you will never get here." Mac said and let them in.
" Do you want me to put this up for you? Mac asked Ruthie.
" Yes, thank you." Ruthie responded and looked at Martin, Mac nodded and put her stuff away.
Martin went and talked to some of his friends from school.
" So Ruthie, would you like some punch?" Mac asked looking at her and smiling.
" Sure, thanks." Ruthie responded.
Mac went to the kitchen and got her some punch, he put some alcohol drugs in there. " Boy, Ruthie Camden, Doesn't know what is going to hit her." Mac thought. Instead of giving Ruthie a small glass like he planned, he gave her a really, large glass.
Ruthie and Mac go up stairs to Mac's room. Mac then, locks the door behind Ruthie and himself and pushes Ruthie on his bed. Mac starts walking over to the bed and kissed Ruthie and tries to take off her shirt and pants. Ruthie was about to scream when Mac took his hand and covered it and drugged her with some pills he had in his room. Ruthie knew what was happening, she tried to escape her fears. She thought to herself " I should of listened to mom and not come to this party." Ruthie thought. All these thoughts were running through her mind and head. Before Ruthie knew it she black out, and couldn't see a thing. Before Ruthie knew it, her worst nightmare has came true, this is how to tries to hid it, from her family, her brother and everyone she loved.
The next day Ruthie woke up in Macs room, she put her clothes on as fast as she can and grabbed her things and ran out the door to her house.
" Ruthie?" Kevin asked seeing her run from the back door to the house.
" No, I mean, yes?" Ruthie asked her brother in law.
" IS there something wrong, it looks like you just ran into the wall or something?" Kevin asked.
" No I am fine." Ruthie said. I don't believe I just lied to Kevin. I am really not fine, I am terrified, how can I be fine if I got raped, raped by someone I thought I could trust!?! Ruthie's mind scream in her head.
" Okay, I will see you later then." Kevin said and walked off.
Ruthie was relived and mad at the same time. She wanted to tell him, but in her gut she couldn't. " How could I have let this happen? God, why god why? "Ruthie said looking into the sky in fear from last night.
Ruthie ran into the back door and up her stairs to her room, she locked the door and started crying on her bed uncontrollably.
Kevin was going to walk into the police station when he wanted to call Lucy.
The phone rang at Kevin and Lucy's apartment in the garage. " Hello?" Lucy asked into the phone. " Hi Honey, it's me. I wanted you to talk to Ruthie. I was walking out the door to work, she seemed scared of something, I know something is wrong. " Okay, thanks, I will. Bye" Lucy said and hung up the phone. I wonder what is wrong with Ruthie. Lucy thought to herself.
Mac was in his room thinking, I have to tell Martin, he is going to kill me when he finds out though. I will go over there tonight. He thought to himself. Mac was making a list of things he was going to do. Okay I need to, Knock on the door, ask for martin, take him outside to talk and finally tell him the truth.
Lucy went into the house to look for Ruthie. She saw her mom in the kitchen and stopped. " Hey, mom have you seen Ruthie?" Lucy asked. " She is in her room." Annie said. " Thanks." Lucy said and went upstairs.
Lucy walked into Ruthie's room. " Ruthie can we talk?" Lucy asked. " Lucy, please, go away, please." Ruthie cried. " I just want to talk to you, tell me what wrong please." Lucy pleaded. " Lucy, what don't you get, nothing is wrong can you just stay out of this. I am fine for the last time!" Ruthie yelled. " Fine, if you need to talk.." Lucy paused for a second. " I will be in the apartment." Lucy said and walked down stairs.
Mac came over that night, it was around six. He knocked on the back door and Martin answered. They went by the basketball net and talked. What they didn't know was that Kevin was listening from behind the fence. Martin I need to tell you something, but you will hate me for the rest of your life." Mac started and started shaking his hands so nervously. " Mac, just tell me already." Martin yelled angry. Mac took a deep breathe. " IdruggedRuthieandIrapedherandmadeherhavesexwithme." Mac said in one breathe without stopping. " Can you say it slower, so I can understand." Martin said. " I said, I drugged Ruthie and I rapped her. I made her have sex with me." Mac said getting very nervous." YOU WHAT!?!?" Martin said and yelled. Martin went inside to get his bat and a frying pan. Martin came out and starting hitting Mac with it. " Martin stop please!?!?" Mac pleaded. " Stop what you mean stop. You raped Ruthie? " I am sorry." Kevin came out from the fence. " Mac, put your hands up your going down to the station for charges of RAPE." Kevin yelled and looked evilly at him.
Lucy went outside and saw detective Michael's with him. " Kevin what's going on?" Lucy asked. " Mac raped Ruthie." Kevin responded. Lucy took a deep breathe and look at Mac. " Oh really, that's why she was crying in her room when I was trying to talk to her." Lucy said sad. " Yea." Kevin said and walked over to Mac.
" Ruthie let me in I know." Lucy knocked on the door. " Fine, what do you know?" Ruthie looked at her sister. " I know you been raped." Lucy looked at her. " What, what do you mean?" Ruthie tried to deny it. " Ruthie stop making excuses. It isn't your fault it is Mac's. He is the one who did this to you, and you will never forget it till this fair day. He is going to jail he is 18 and is going to have criminal charges put against him for doing so. Ruthie, stop blaming yourself for this, it is not your fault, listen it is not your fault." Lucy yelled. " Yes it is, it is my fault, if I didn't drink that drink he gave me It would of never happened." Ruthie sobbed. " Ruthie, it isn't yours, it is his. Ruthie, he gave you it, he forced your to drink I it is his," Lucy tried to make her feel better.
" Hey Ruthie how are you?" Kevin asked. Ruthie looked at him. " I am better thanks." Ruthie said and hugged him. " Thanks for what?" Kevin asked. " Thanks for doing what ever you did." Ruthie said. Everyone went into the house to eat.
