Chapter 10

Ruthie walked outside her school and went to meet Martin. She thought about her day and how bad it had been without Skylar there and how she found out about him being gay. She walked right up to Martin who was leaning against his car, he looked at her once and could tell straight off something was wrong.

"Ruthie..." Martin said, she didnt look at him " I dont want to talk about it..." She said and opened the car door and got in.

He got in and it was silent for a few secounds,

"He's gay." She blurted out. Martin looked shocked, "Yeah. Meredith told me today, he hasnt told me that yet himself though but then again hes not talking to me normally." She said.

"Ruthie..."

"No...I dont want to hear it ohkay. It just figures with my luck I find a guy I like and he turns out being gay. I am moving on now different subject ohkay? Ohkay. So Martin how was you're day?" Ruthie asked irratated with herself.

" My day was ohkay...I guess." He said Ruthie nodded and Martin could see the nod out of the corner of his eye, he knew that must have a been a little good, because it would be bad if there wasnt a response at all.

Martin pulled into the Camdens driveway and Ruthie got out of his car a quick as she could and ran inside. Martin was right behind though afraid of what Ruthie might do.

"Martin can you please leave?" Ruthie asked as she went into her room, he looked at her and was scared he didnt move or say anything he just looked at her and could tell how sad she was and that she might break down and start crying any secound.

"Fine...I was just going to cry myself to sleep anyway." She said and got on her bed and threw the blanks up over her head.

"Ruthie please dont cry over this. I know that its got to be hard..."

"Martin if youre going to stay in her can you just be quiet and hold me and tell me that everything will be ohkay." She said from underneath the blankets. Martin was a little taken back and shocked that Ruthie hadnt kicked him out of her room for saying how hard it must have been.

"Yeah...sure." He said and got up he went over to Ruthie and she lifted up the blanket for Martin to cuddle with her, he looked at her weirdly.

"It's fine ohkay. No feelings. I'm pretty sure my mother would rather have you snuggling with me, then me over dosing." Ruthie said and Martin got into the blankets and wrapped his arms around Ruthies small waist. His chin rested on her head and he could smell the aroma of her hair, he breathed in a little deeper. He felt her relax and then start to shake when she started crying.

"Ruthie please dont cry..." Martin said as his heart was breaking watching Ruthie go through this much pain and over a guy. There was nothing Martin could do about it, he couldnt hurt the guy it wasnt like he cheated on her or was mean.

She rolled over and snuggled her face into his chest as she cried, Martin looked at the shaking form in his arms and kissed the top of her head.

"Everythings going to be alright."
