Chapter 8: Love, lies and a big surprise

Ruthie was speechless she tried not to make any noise as she walked back up to her bedroom crying. She picked up the phone and called Lucy.

"Lucy, hi…..Martin…lied….loves…..me…..Mac…..500" Ruthie couldn't say every word due to crying her eyes out. She choked on every word. Lucy told her that she would be right over.

She looked at Martins picture on her side table. "I hate you Martin Scott Brewer" she said as she picked it up and threw it against the wall, leaving a large dent. The picture shattered into a thousand pieces. (a/n: I don't really know what Martins middle name is I just made it up)

She buried her face into her pillow and cried. "Ruthie," Martin walked into the room. "What's wrong did Mac call again?" he asked her.

Ruthie shot up and wiped her tears. "Yeah Mac called, and now I know what a selfish, insensitive jerk you are."

"What?!" Martin was confused.

"You never loved me; all you wanted was the money." Ruthie screamed.

"Ruthie you don't understand – "

Ruthie cut him off. "What do I now understand, you betrayed me. You pretended to love me because you wanted money, you don't love me, and I don't, I don't think that I ….. I don't love you either."

"Ruthie….." Martin tried to say.

"Martin leave, I don't want anything to do with you anymore. Just get out!"

"But, Ruthie…."

"No, I don't want to hear it. Get out." Martin left with a low face. He walked downstairs where Annie was standing. She looked at him with a concerned angry look. She saw a tear roll down Martins cheek. It was the first time she had seem Martin Brewer cry.

"Oh Martin, what was going on." Annie asked as she gave him a long comforting hug.

Martin pulled away and explained every thing.

"But why did you do that?" Annie asked

"I loved Ruthie and I just needed the money to but something for her."

"What did you want to get her that would cost so much?"

Martin pulled out a piece of paper from a magazine. It was a picture of a ring. A small ring. With a centered pink diamond and two white diamonds on either side.

Annie gasped. "You want to marry Ruthie. She's just twenty one years old."

"Mrs. Camden I love Ruthie a lot and I can wait, I love her so much I want to marry her."

They hear the door close. They turned their heads to see standing there…..T-Bone.
