Chapter 6
Ruthie stood in front of her closet wondering what to wear for the party. She picked out a pair of black capri's and a pink tube top. She looked at herself in the mirror and thought "I look sexy." Then she put on her make-up and went to meet with Jenny to get a ride. At 9 o'clock in the evening she and Jenny arrived at the party. A girl with short brown hair answered the door. "Hey welcome to the party, my nam is Laurn come on in." said the girl. Ruthie walked in the sorority house and was impressed by how nice the house was. "I wish I could live here." She thought.
Their were already people there. "Why don't you go and meet up with some other people?"suggested Jenny. "Alright" replied Ruthie. So Ruthie went to where the drinks were and bumped into a sorority girl. "Oh sorry" said Ruthie. "It's ok, my name is Jess" said the girl. "You want something to drink?" she asked. "Sure" said Ruthie. Two other girls came over to them. "Hey Jess" they both said. "Hi, this is Ruthie. She's new here" said Jess.
"Oh ok" said the one girl. "My name is Maureen" said one girl. "My name is Marsha" said the other girl. "Hey do you know anyone who would want to have a drinking contest with me?" asked Jenny. "Hey Ruthie, why don't you do it?" asked Jess. "Um.I don't know " said Ruthie. "Oh come on, it's not like it is going to kill you" said Marsha. "Well, Okay" said Ruthie. "Alright, finally something exciting" said Maureen. Well after the drinking contest was over, Ruthie lost and Jenny won. She wasn't use to drinking a lot. Ruthie had 5 drinks and was not feeling good. She ran to the bathroom as fast as she could almost falling up the stairs.
When she came out of the bathroom, Peter came up to her and said, "wow you look like you could use a little pick me up." "Yeah, I could" replied Ruthie. "Well come with me" said Peter. So he guided her to the back porch and helped her sit down on a chair. He gave her a joint and said here. Ruthie hesitated for a minute. She thought I don't know, I know I drink and smoke but do I really want to do drugs? But Peter is cute she thought. "Go ahead, I promise you'll feel better" he said. "Well. ok" she replied. What harm could it do? She thought.
Th next morning, Ruthie woke up to find herself in a car with some guy laying next to her. Her mind began to race with questions. Where am I? How did I get here? What happened last night? She sat up to take a closer look at the guy and thought he looked familiar. At that moment he started to wake up. I know who it is now.it's the guy that I saw at the party. But I can't remembr his name.what was his name.think Ruthie.think. Suddenly it hit her Peter she said softly. As she said his name, Peter turned to look at her and said what? "What happened last night?" she asked. "What do think happened last night?" said Peter with a smile on his face. "Just take me back to my dorm, okay?" said Ruthie.
When she got back to hr dorm room, she felt sick to her stomach. I think I'm going to be sick she thought. She then ran to the bathroom. Just then she heard someone come into her room. "Good morning, Ruthie were are you?" the voice asked. When she was done being sick and looked up. She saw that it was her brother Matt. "Matt what the hell are you doing here?" Ruthie was still a little high from the joint and the drinks that she had last night. Matt looked at his little sister. "Why are you acting like this?" asked Matt. Ruthie threw up on her brother's new shoes. "What the hell are you doing here?" Ruthie was still a little high from the joint and the drinks that she had last night. Matt looked at his little sister. "What the hell is going on here, and I want the damn truth." Said Matt. Matt grabbed Ruthie buy the arm and dragged her to the car. From there they were on their way to the hospital. Ruthie was really mad at Matt, and didn't want to be in the same car with him, but she didn't know what to do. Matt wanted his sister to be tested on what drugs she took. As Matt waited for his sister that was in the emergency room, he decided to call their mother. He told his mother what happened, and she called Eric. The whole family decided to go to New York City to get Ruthie. They knew that NYU was out of the question. The doctor came out to talk to Matt. "Are you her father ?" asked the doctor. "No I am her brother, Matt. Our parents are on the way." said Matt. "Well Matt........Then I can tell you what is wrong with your sister. We found several drugs and alcohol in her system. Not only did we find that, but we also found out that she is pregnant." said the doctor. Matt couldn't believe the news that he just received from the doctor. Matt went to Ruthie's hospital room and went in. "What did the doctor say?" asked Ruthie. "He said that he found many drugs and alcohol in your system. Also He told me that you are pregnant." Ruthie looked at her brother in shock. "Who did you sleep with?" asked Matt. "The only guy that I slept with is Peter."
Matt looked out of the window looking outside. He saw his mother's car pull into a parking spot. He went to the waiting room where he would be able to tell his mother what had happened. "What did the doctors say?" asked Mrs. Camden. "He said a lot of things. First he said that they found several drugs and alcohol in her system. The second thing that they told me was that Ruthie was pregnant. I asked Ruthie about the father and she said it was Peter." The Camden's were in shock. Annie went to her daughter's room, and took her hand. Ruthie was asleep. Ruthie was in the hospital for a week before she got released. Ruthie went to NYU to pack up her things to go home. After packing her things for a while she heard a knock on the door. She answered it. It was Peter. Ruthie looked at him. "I heard from Jenny what happened. That you were pregnant. Is it mine?" asked Peter. "Of course it's yours. I had never slept with anyone but you." Peter gave Ruthie a hug, and she hugged him back. All of a sudden he let go. "I want to marry you Ruthie. I love you. I think that we can become a family." Ruthie looked at Peter.
Ruthie stood in front of her closet wondering what to wear for the party. She picked out a pair of black capri's and a pink tube top. She looked at herself in the mirror and thought "I look sexy."
