Lost Innocence Chapter 4
*An hour later*
Ruthie had just put on her shoes. She was getting ready to go home. She glanced at the clock in Jason's kitched. 3:00p.m exactly. Jason opened the door and walked outside with her.
"You want to hang out tommorow?" He asked. Ruthie really wanted to say yes, but then she thought of Peter and what Simon had said.
"I don't know, I was thinking I should invite Peter over. He's my best friend and I think he's kind of feeling left out."
"Are you sure you're only best friends?" Jason asked, very suspiciously.
"Yes. Postive."
"Were you ever more then best friends?"
"Uh.. Yes. But that was awhile ago."
"Who dumped who?"
"It was mutual."
"I think he still likes you."
"Why would you think that?"
"Just trust me"
"Whatever, anyway I should go."
"Bye." Jason said.
"Bye." Ruthie said. She didn't move right away. She was waiting for a hug or a kiss or something.
Ruthie sighed. "Fine, bye then." She walked away, she was mad at him.
"Ruthie, wait" He called to her.
"I'm sorry." He said. "I just don't really like Peter and I'm afraid he's going to take you away from me."
"He won't. I promise."
"Well, can we hang out tommorow night. You can have him over or go over there on Tuesday. Please can we just hang out tommorow."
He sounded kind of desperate and needy, and normal Ruthie would think it was annoying but there was something about him. She smiled.
"Okay, but you have to let me hang out with Peter Tuesday. He is my friend, okay?"
"Alright."
"I gotta go now. Bye"
"Bye."
He kissed her and then she kissed him back. They made-out for a bit and then Ruthie went home.
Ruthie was walking back through the park when she saw Peter alone on the bench. She walked up behind him.
"Is this seat taken?" She asked.
"Ruthie, Hey! No, sit down." Peter replied. Ruthie sat down.
"Have you been here this whole time?"
"Yeah. The guys went home an hour ago"
"Why'd you stay?"
"I don't know. Just thinking. Better here than home anyway."
"I know what you mean."
"So.. what's new with you?" Peter asked.
"Nothing much.." Ruthie replied. "Uh.. Do you want to come over for dinner on Tuesday? We can hang out for a bit, I know we haven't gotten to hang out that much."
"Sure, I'd love to!" Peter said, practically jumping up and down. A smile grew across his face.
"Great!" Ruthie said.
Ruthie looked at her watch 4:50.
"Crap, Peter. I gotta go. See you Tuesday."
"Wait, I should go too, can I walk you home?"
"Alright." Ruthie said and the two set off together.
