After Ruthie had finished telling Kevin about T-Bone's threats, he started pacing. "Well, Ruthie, you definitely shouldn't go see him. Don't argue with me. If you go to him, he's going to want something more from you."
"But what if he does hurt someone-"
"Ruthie, he won't."
Ruthie quickly went down the halls at school. She knew Kevin didn't want her to meet T-bone, but she had to. Nobody was going to get hurt because of her. He'd made bail somehow and was back in school. The note he had left in her locker was brief.
Meet me in the old parking lot after school, you'll regret it if you don't show up

Once more he'd given her no choice. First with Martin and now this. It was getting ridiculous. How could she have given him this much power over her? The only reason she was going to meet him was to tell him to stuff it, and leave her alone. When she got to the parking lot she looked around. She didn't see him anywhere and turned around to leave as he called her name. She turned around, only to be pulled by T-Bone and shoved into the backseat of his car. He began to speak in a menacing tone, "You chose him over me? What were you thinking? Don't worry you'll pay for it." Ruthie's eyes widened as she grasped his meaning and she began to run, but she wasn't fast enough T-Bone tackled her and then began to hit her. He left when he was finished, leaving Ruthie where she was. She opened her eyes to make sure he had left and then she slowly made her way to her SUV. She drove to the police station and reported T-Bone's abuse, but his time she had proof. She'd brought along her brother's old video camera and had turned it on hidden in her purse. She grinned pleased with herself. No way was T-Bone getting out of this.
A few hours later after she'd filed her report with the police she walked into her house, knowing she'd have to explain the bruises. The thing that surprised her when she walked into the kitchen, however, was that Martin was sitting there talking with her parents. "Ruthie what happened to you?" He asked his voice filled with concern for her. She told them everything and when she'd finished Martin had pulled her into a tight hug trying to comfort her. She winced.
"Martin, would it kill you to not squeeze so tight? I'm bruised you know." He quickly released her and muttered an apology. "What were you guys talking about before I got here?" Her parents looked at one another uneasily. Then the reverend began to speak.
"We think it would be best if you and Martin were to stay away from one another, in light of your," he cleared his throat. "Relationship, your mother and I think it will benefit both of you to not see one another."
"That's not fair!" Ruthie said a bit too calmly. "You can't keep us apart, I love him." She looked straight at Martin as she said the last three words. "And we are planning on going to the same college so you'd only manage to keep us apart for a few months."
So sorry I haven't written in so long, but this story is becoming more troublesome to write than I'd originally thought. Probably because I'd intended it to be a oneshot. I'll update as soon as I get a new brainwave for it. By the way read and review, I'm begging. I've only got fourteen reviews for this story so far and honestly by chapter six with this many hits, I should have more! Yes, I'm shamelessly begging for reviews. I'm not terribly happy with this chapter, just to let you know, and I think the story will be ending soon.
