Chapter 24

Downstairs, Lucy was reading a book for school when she saw Peter leave. She ran upstairs, crying the whole way. When she got to the attic, she saw her sister crying on her bed.

"I'm so sorry Ruthie! I didn't mean to hurt you, it's just that your so smart and you have so much going for you, I don't want you to get-" Lucy thought about what she was going to say, after all, Ruthie had almost been pregnant.. "hurt. I love you Ruthie, and I can't bear to see you doing this to yourself. You've been through so much, and you've been so brave and strong. I don't want you rushing in to a relationship and doing stuff after everything that happened." Lucy sat down on her bed.
Ruthie sighed. "I'm sorry too, Lucy. I really like Peter, and we weren't exactly doing anything you didn't do when you were my age. I'm sorry for acting the way I did to you. I love you too". Ruthie hugged her sister.
Simon walked upstairs. He saw his two sisters hugging. They both looked like they had been crying.
"Hey, guys. What's wrong?" Simon said.
"Oh, nothing. We worked it out." Ruthie said.
Simon nodded. "So… Mom wants to know if you guys want to come downstairs and watch a movie."
"We haven't done that in so long." Ruthie said.

"I know…what movie are we watching?" Lucy asked.

"Left Behind" Simon said.

"Oh, I love that movie, Kirk Cameron is so cute!" Lucy exclaimed. They all ran down the stairs. Annie had just put the twins to be and they all settled into the living room to watch the movie.

(Peter's house)

Peter was upstairs in his bedroom, thinking about his awesome night with Ruthie, but had he gone too far? Lucy seemed really upset and she told him to cool it, but he really liked Ruthie. Then he thought of something. He could hear Lucy yelling at Ruthie from downstairs, and he didn't catch all that she had said but he remembered one thing "You should know the consequences after what happened, but I guess you don't." What was Lucy talking about? What had happened to Ruthie? He was so confused. He decided to try to talk to her about it later, right now he needed to ask his mom something. He walked over to her room.
"Mom, Umm… Is there anyway I can go back to my old school again, please!" He begged.
Paris sighed. "But I thought you liked it there"
"No, I like my old school better" Peter explained.
"I thought it would have been good for you, getting a second chance after everything that happened. Why do you want to go back?" Paris asked.
"Because I miss Ruthie. I miss having her as a best friend. I miss having friends." Peter sighed. "Please can I go back?"
"Yeah, If you want too. You never told me any of this. You never tell me anything anymore. Are you OK, Peter?" Paris asked, concerned.
"I don't know, mom" Peter said.
