Summary: Martin had gone to spend the summer with Simon to get a feel of what college life was all about. He comes back with some bad news that could tear what he and Ruthie have. Would he risk what they have and put it on the line or lie to her and break a promise that he promised her? But then something goes wrong. Martin gets into an accident. What's going to happen to their relationship? Read to find out.

"Shhh! She's coming!'' Simon hissed as he turned off the lights in the kitchen and hid behind the kitchen bench, along with the twins, Matt, Lucy, and Kevin. They had planned this surprise for a while now and have been hoping all things run smooth seeing as she's turning 16. Simon could hear the door handle moving and the door flying open, so he jumped up along with everyone else.

"SURP-!" Everyone stopped mid-sentence and stared at a teary-eyed Ruthie. 'He told her! What a jackass!' Simon narrowed his eyes at Martin as he came through the door, looking happy. 'Huh?'

Still in shock, everyone looked back and forth at the couple. "-PRISE!'' Matt finished.

"-PRISE!'' Everyone repeated.

Ruthie ran up to Lucy and wiped her tears away. "L-look!" She cried and showed her an expensive looking bracelet. "Martin got it for me!'' She pulled her hand back and ran to Martin and gave him a big hug. "Thank-you," she whispered as he wrapped his arms around her.

"Anything for you," He replied and kissed her cheek. He let go off her and was soon dragged into the dining room by Simon.

"What the hell was that about?" Simon exclaimed.

"What?" Martin stared at him confused.

"I thought you told her!" He paced back and forth.

"On her birthday! Are you nuts!"

"Well your gonna have to tell her you know,'' Simon said and walked up to Martin. "Or she's gonna find out sooner or later. It's better heard from you then someone else." With that, he walked out and went to wish Ruthie a happy birthday.

Martin stared after him. "He's right,'' He mumbled. "Soon. I'll tell her soon. Promise"
