Martin's P.O.V.

Martin looked at Ruthie and he could feel his heart breaking before his very eyes. Ruthie liked his best friend.

"Well, are you guys going to go out?" Martin asked her, trying his best to sound happy for her although he was furious at Mac.

"Yeah, we are but don't tell him I told you."

"It's just nice to know that after all you and me have been through, you would choose him.

"Martin don't!"

"What is it now?! I want to go home and get out of your love life because the way I see it, there is no room for me anywhere!"

"Martin, you know that's not true!"

"Are you kidding me? Of course it is true! Ruthie, all I know is that I've done my best, there is nothing I can do now. I'll see you later." Martin walked past her and walked out the front door, being careful to slam the door as loud as he could and he got into his car and drove away.

Ruthie's P.O.V.

Ruthie let the tears fall down her face as she watched Martin drive away from her house. It wasn't her fault that she was attracted to both Mac and Martin. Yeah, she knew it wasn't fair to either of them, but it wasn't her fault. It also wasn't her fault that she trusted Mac more than Martin. There came the noise of a set of foot steps coming down the stairs and he mother was there, standing next to her.

"Ruthie, what's wrong?" Her mother asked her, concern was in her voice as well as caring.

"Mom, it's Martin."

"Not him again, I though you were over him."

"No, I love him even more than I did before and it's harder now because he likes me. But I like Mac too and Mac likes me… I trust Mac more than Martin because of what happened between him and Sandy."

"Hon, you need to follow your heart, you heart knows what you should do." Ruthie nodded and dried off her tears on her sleeve.

"Thanks mom." Her mom nodded.

"I love you honey." She then walked away to do the laundry which was getting smaller because it was only Ruthie, Reverend Camden, Mrs. Camden, Sam, and David left in the house.

There was a knock on the door and Ruthie went up to answer it.

"Hi Ruthie." It was Lucy.

"Hey Lucy."

"Weren't we supposed to go out to lunch today?"

"Yeah, come on let's go but can you ask Kevin to watch Savannah? I want to talk to you about something."

"Yes, of course. I'll go and bring her to him right now. Stay here and finish getting ready." She walked away and that left Ruthie by herself again. She went upstairs quickly and got changed and fixed her mascara that was smudged and going down her cheeks from when she had been crying.

Five or ten minutes later, Lucy had come back to the house and they drove to the sandwich shop that was about fifteen minutes away from the house. They both got BLT's and diet cokes and sat down to eat.

"So, what's wrong kiddo?" Lucy asked her, using the nick name that was always used when Ruthie was down.

"It's about Martin… and Mac."

"I knew this was coming." Lucy said, a knowing and sympathetic look in her eyes.

"Well both of them like me and I like both of them and I don't really know what to do. I think I like Martin more though but I can't trust him I don't think after what happened with him and Sandy, I trust Mac more…. I just don't know what I'm supposed to do." Lucy nodded and gave her younger sister a hug.

"I know this must be hard for you, but you DO need to choose and make a decision as to what you are doing."

"Well, who do you think I should choose?" Ruthie asked her older sister.

"I think you should choose-"
