We finally arrived at home. It had been a long summer for me in the RV. I was happy to be back in glenoak the home I had known for years. I hadn't spoken to T-bone in over two months. My last memory of him was when he got on the back of his father's motorcycle heading for the roads. He had promised to call me as soon as summer's end. I waited for him to call yet there were never any calls nor messages.
When my family first started out on the road, I did not tell them what news Simon had. I wanted Simon to tell them. So when we reached Simon my family found out that he was engaged to be married to Cecilia his former love. I am very happy for Simon. I never really liked the idea of Rose and Simon and the thought of Simon and Cecilia made me happy. After watching Simon graduate dad decided to go on for a while but as the days grew longer, everyone decided that it was just too much for us and decided to go on home.
I walked to my room and lay on the bed. Thoughts of T-bone came flushing to me at once. I had been thinking about him a lot more lately. "Is T-bone all right?" I thought to myself. "Is he the kind of guy I want to be with all my life? Do I love him?" these questions I kept asking myself. The thought of T-bone and me marrying each other made my stomach flip but not in a good way. I never understood why my stomach did this maybe it's because I really do love him a lot.
"Ruthie lunch is ready!" mom screamed from downstairs
"Im coming" I replied. I dragged myself downstairs. Downstairs mom had set out plates of sandwiches and brownies for everyone to eat on. I didn't feel much like eating but I know that if I didn't everyone would ask what was wrong.
I sat down to eat and right when I sat down. The phone rang. Dad looked at Mom annoyed. "Calls already and we just got here" he stated. Mom looked at him with an eyebrow raised and went to answer the phone
"Hello Camden Residence" Annie said into the phone
"Hi is Ruthie there?" a familiar voice asked
"T-bone is that you?" Annie gasped "It's nice to hear from you how are you doing?"
"Im doing great. Me and my dad are getting along good"
"Well that's good to hear Im gonna pass you onto Ruthie now you take care"
"Thanks Ms. Camden"
Ruthie had been overhearing the conversation and was anxiously waiting for her mom to give her the phone. As Annie handed her the phone though she motioned for her to take the call upstairs. Ruthie quickly grabbed the phone and walked upstairs. "T-bone" Ruthie exclaimed
"Ruthie hi"
"Where are you? How are you? Are you and your father doing ok?"
"Whoa slow down Ruthie" T-bone seemed amused "Your asking too many questions too fast"
"Im sorry it's just we haven't talked all summer I missed you"
"I missed you too but Ruthie there's something I have to tell you"
"What?"
"mmm I don't know how to tell you this"
"What T-bone spit it out"
"I kinda told my father that I would move in with him"
"What...Why? Just kinda tell him you made a mistake"
"But that's the thing I do want to stay with him," There was a long pause "Ruthie are you there?"
"T-bone how could you do this to me we had plans this year"
"Ruthie Im sorry it's just I want to really get to know my father well at least I think he is my father"
"But why do you want to do that now? I mean he's been gone most of your life anyway"
"Ruthie I thought you'd understand I've never had that fatherly figure like you have and I think this is a good chance to get to know my roots"
"Fine then T-bone get to know your roots see if I care"
"Ruthie we wouldn't have stayed together anyway"
"Everyone is always saying that ugggg you don't know how stuff is going to turn out"
"Look Ruthie I have to go Ill call you later ok?"
"No don't call me later don't EVER call me again!" and with that she hung up the phone
