I do not own anything. This is my story on what would have happened if Martin told Ruthie how he felt befor he went to visit Simon.
He sat looking out the window of his fathers home, wondering just how to tell her.
He was sure just coming out and saying it probably wasnt the best idea. He needed to tell the girl of his dreams that he needed her, that he was being stupid. 'ugh Brewer get off you butt and tell her everything'.
Slowly Martin got up and walked the short distance to the back yard of the Camden residence. He raised his hand to knock and the door suddenly opened, ''whoa''. ''Hey uh Martin I was just on my way to see you'' ''Yeah Ruthie can we walk? I need to talk to you and well I dont want to do it here.'' ''Oh...uh okay, Mom im going for a walk with Martin wont be long'' ''Okay dear'' came the reply from Annie from somewhere across the house.
Martin and Ruthie walked for about ten minutes neither of them talking. ''Martin, whats going on?" "I dont really know how to... I mean I... This is so hard." "You know you can talk to me about anything right? I mean you are my best friend" "Thats what makes this so hard, I want to tell you but I'm affraid that this news will end that" "Your not gonna tell me you got someone pregnant are you" Ruthie said with a chuckle. "NO, I've never... you know.'' "Well then what ever you have to tell me cant be that bad" Martin took a deep breath, "Here goes nothing, Ruthie, Inevershouldhavesaidthatyouwerelikeasistertome" "What, Martin you have to slow down I cant understand you." "I said your nothing like a sister to me, infact I never thought of you like that." "Oh... I see. Thats what this is then, well thanks for clearing that up, I hope you have a good life Martin, I hope I never see you again" Ruthie turned on her heal and started to run, she thought if she could just get far enough away before she started to cry that maybe he would never know, but Martin was faster he caught up to her in no time and spun her around. Her tears started to slide down her face. ''You never let me finish do you" She wouldnt look at him so he gently slid his finger under her chin and tilted her face but she wouldnt meet his eyes. ''Please, please dont do this Martin, I cant take anymore pain right now, if your going to walk away then just do it already and maybe it will break me a litte less.'' she said so low that he hardly heard her. ''Im not walking away Ruth, Im trying to tell you that I have feelings for you'' Ruthies eyes snapped up to his, neither of them moving, hardly breathing. "Y..you have what kind of feelings exactly?" "Silly Ruthie" he said as he leaned in and very softly pressed his lips to hers. As she stood frozen to the spot he slowly backed up, 'smart move Brewer, now look what youve done, she didnt want you to kiss her stupid'. She slowly moved her fingertips to her lips and let out a slow smile. ''You kissed me'' Martin chuckled and nodded his head. "Now do you understand, I tried and tried to ignore this while I lived in your house, I didnt want you or your parents having any reason to doubt me, or my values, and let me tell you little miss some of the clothes that you wear should be kept behind closed doors or illegal because man it was hard to stay calm if you know what I mean" She got an evil little glint in her eyes "like which clothes, maybe my running shorts or my hot pink tank top?" Images of the clothes flashed through his head, he felt flames stirring in him that it seemed only she could ignite, "One day miss Camden I will let you know exactly which outfit is my favorite" She grabbed his hand that was still resting in her neck and lased her fingers through his and slowly started to walk back to her house as they neared the door he kissed her again and whispered noodnight in her ear. "Night Martin"
She walked into her house with a huge smile on her face, Annie was sitting in the kitchen when her daughter floated in. "Someone looks happy, something happen with Martin?" "He kissed me" "Really, well its about time" "Wh...what? You knew he was going to? How?... Wait no I dont want to know, your super woman Annie Camden you know all and see all. Mom I love you, but Im going to bed now." As she went up to her room her cell phone started to vibrate in her pocket, as she looked down at the screen it read CU 2morrow, want 2 go to dinner with me? She quickly replied 4 sure, come over after breakfast.
