Ruthie looked at Martin who was leaving to back to school. The week had gone by so fast that Ruthie didn't want it to end. She loved being with Martin and didn't like watching him leave, so she decided that they would say their goodbyes at the house and Martin's dad would drive him to the airport.

"So I'll see you in about 2 months?" Ruthie asked breaking the awkward silence that had fallen between the two.

"Yeah, two months too long." Martin replied hoping for Ruthie to crack a smile. He hated leaving her and he didn't know how much longer he could keep doing this. He never wanted to leave her but school was preventing them from being together 24/7 like he wanted.

He can barely concentrate on his schoolwork and baseball because he was worried about her. He didn't know why he was so worried about her because she can handle herself. He could tell by the look on her face she was hoping that he would change his mind and stay here and if he could he would. That made him think about switching schools; he could easily get into a school closer to her. But what about baseball, was he really going to give up his passion for her? This was one of the many decisions he kept toying with in his head.

"Martin we have to go!" He father called from across the street causing Martin to jump.

"You ok?" Ruthie asked stroking his arm.

"Yeah I'm fine, he just startled me."

"Oh."

"I love you and I'll call tonight."

"I love you too." He pulled her close not wanting to let go. He looked down at her and saw the tears falling from her eyes.

"Hey don't cry over me, I promise the 2 months will go flying by." He kissed her cheek. "Everything's gonna be fine baby, I love you."

"I know I'm just gonna miss you."

"Well if you want too we can always IM each other and text."

"Okay."

"I gotta go but I'll talk to you later."

"Okay." They shared one last kiss before Martin ran across the street turning and smiling one last time before Ruthie disappeared into the house. It broke Martin's heart every time he had to leave her but he had to at least finish out the year before he switched schools. Then he came to his senses and he knew he had to be closer to Ruthie, the love of his life.

Martin watched the scenery change and with every passing tree his heart broke even more. He couldn't handle it anymore, something had to be done; he had to stop leaving the one he loved. As Martin was getting his things from the car his cell phone starting ringing, he looked at his phone and saw a text from Ruthie. He smiled and got on the plane to starred out on the runway while sending her a message.

When the plane landed 2 hours later, they had sent 25 texts between them and called each other at 2 times. It was hard hearing the sadness in her voice because Martin was depressed too. He opened the door to his apartment and saw Mac with his head down.

"I thought you'd be with Megan."

"Um…about that Megan and I are done."

"For now." He said under his breath.

"What?"

"Nothing."

"Is Ruthie mad at me?"

"No she's more mad at Megan, she thinks you deserve better."

"I told Lexxi."

"And?"

"She's mad at me but we're still together."

"Good."

"So how are you?"
"The usual."

"I'm sorry but dude you just have to accept it and count the days."

"I know it's hard talking to her because I can hear the sadness in her voice and it breaks my heart."

"She'll be okay, she's always okay after the couple days."

"I know." Martin sat on the couch and set his phone on the coffee table. Mac picked up Martin's phone and looked through his Text Messages.

"Dude you two are hopeless."

"What are you talking about?"
"You guys can't go 2 minutes without talking to each other."

"Yes we can, its been like 20 minutes."

"Now that's a record."

"Well you tell Ruthie you don't us talking so much."

"She'd kill me."

"I know and I'd laughed."

"Yeah but you guys are in love so what can you do."
