Chapter 5:

Martin:

"Man! This was the best night of my life!" I thought to myself as I walked home from Ruthie's house. "Ruthie is so perfect in everyway. How could I have been so blind and dumb in high school to let her go? Now if only I can get this Travis guy out of the picture, we'll be set!" I decided to call my best friend (besides Ruthie of course) Mac. Mac was a great friend to me and Ruthie back in high school. He had a crush on Ruthie but I kept talking him out of asking her out plenty of times. I guess I really did have some feeling for Ruthie then. Anyways, Mac married a girl I was serious with for a while before the whole Sandy thing happened. Her named was Meredith. They have been married almost 2 years and have a little girl named Allie. She is so adorable! When I got home I picked up my cell phone off the counter and dialed Mac's number.

"Hello?"

"Hey Meredith! It's Martin. Is Mac around?"

"Yea, he is on the couch watching the baseball game, let me go get him… is everything alright?"

"Yeah everything is fine. I just need to talk to him about some "guy stuff"."

"Oh ok…hang on…MAACCC! Phone!"

"Got it…hello?"

"Hey man, it's Martin."

"Hey Brewer! What's happening?"

"Nothing really, just calling to see how you are doing."

"Yea right, you don't call someone after 11:00 on a Friday night to 'see how they are doing'. Who's the girl?"

"Man you know me too well! Do you remember Ruthie?"

"Camden? Your high school crush?"

"Yea…how did you know about that?"

"Common sense man. Ya'll were like the high school couple who wasn't together!"

"Really? That's what we were classified as?"

"Yep! So what about Ruthie? Is she okay?"

"Yea she is great actually! We actually had a date…well a "catching up" time at my house tonight. I made dinner for her and we talked for hours."

"Sounds nice! So what did you call me to ask me?"

"Well, last Saturday Ruthie was supposed to get married!"

"WHAAT? Little Ruthie Camd... wait you said suppose what do you mean by suppose? What did you do Brewer?"

"I walked into the church during the exchanging of vows and professed my love for her."

"Oh nice"

"Yea, so she left the church saying she needed time to think things over."

"So how did you get her to agree to have dinner with you?"

"Well, I asked her and she said yes!"

"That was easy enough."

"Yupp!"

"So…did you make a move on her?"

"No man... not like you are thinking but I walked her home gave her a hug and a kiss on the forehead."

"Smooth Move!"

"Anyways, how do you think I can get rid of the fiancé?"

"Well I would just give it time. I know Ruthie. She will eventually come to her senses and will be yours."

"Thanks Man! How's Allie?"

"She's good. She is starting to walk!"

"That's great! I can't wait to see her again! Tell her Uncle Martin said hey!"

"Ok, I will!"

"Well I am going to go. I have to clean off the deck and stuff. We should get together sometime."

"Yea we should! I'll see you later man!

"Alright bye!"

After I got off the phone with Mac, I cleaned up the kitchen and the deck and then got in the shower. After the shower, I crawled into bed and stared and the ceiling thinking about tonight. Finally I mumbled to myself,

"Get ready Brewer, you are falling in love all over again with Ruthie Camden!"

Ok! There is 5! I hope you enjoy. Ok for a future chapter I need suggestions for bands. Martin is going to take Ruthie to a concert. Give me suggestions!
