Ruthie sat in class thinking about her argument that she had with Peter earlier that morning, "Maybe I shall apologize to him," she pondered, "I would tell him about my problems if only I could."

Ruthie began to go back to her memories of that offal event. She tried her best to block it from her memory. She knew if she were to reveal it, then she could hurt herself.

Peter sat paying attention to the Math lesson before him. Ruthie had snapped at him. He had only asked her what was wrong, because he had a deep concern for her. He began to grow angry with her. Every time something really hurt him, he had told her. "Does Ruthie not trust me anymore" he pondered from complete confusion.

The both of their minds wondered and they didn't catch the rest of the lesson.

Carlos was beginning to get a little of his dignity back as he walked to the police station to turn in his application to work there. He hoped that Kevin had told him about the opening because they would really look into him.

Mary meanwhile was having a conversation with Annie. She had called her.

"Hello," Annie said with her cell phone.

"Mom, please come home," she said.

"I am sorry, but I can't." Annie replied, and hung up throwing the telephone across the room breaking it.

Mary called Eric and told him what had happened. After his phone call from her Marry he looked up and said, "Jose, it's time for lunch. Let's go grab some and then I will take you to school."

Jose was glad to have missed half a day of school, because he totally loathed that place and no matter how hard people tried they could never get him to stay there. Eric ordered them Big Macs and then stopped at the school.

"I'll be here at 4:00 to get you, okay?" Eric explained.

"Sure, whatever," Jose retorted getting out of the car and then he walked towards the school.

Eric decided that his first impression with the boy hadn't gone very well. He decided to find another approach with him. On his way back to the church Eric noticed that he had left his cell phone at his home so he went to pick it up. When he arrived he saw Simon and Matt sitting in the living room. Matt called out, "Simon wants to talk to you."

Eric responded, "I will be home at 4:00 sorry I have to run."

Matt and Simon sat in the living room, they were both talking about how their lives were going, and neither of them were happy.

Simon asked Matt to take him to the church to his dad to talk.

Eric was in the middle of his resignation letter that he was writing to the church as Simon walked in.

"Dad, I really need to talk," he said.

"Yes, what is it?" Eric asked surprised.

"Father, I thought if I left I would be happy, but I wasn't." Simon admitted, "And now that I am home I am not happy either. What must I do to be able to live with myself?"

Eric decided what Simon needed now was the council of a pastor and he said, "Simon, you need to know the one who died for you to truly be happy."

Simon broke down in tears and said, "Father, how do I do that."

And Eric prayed with his son, and helped him to start down the road of true happiness for the first time in his life.
