Truth

Breath-of-Ice

"I did nothing of the sort! You know THAT!" Matt Camden shouted across the hall to his wife, who was sitting in the bedroom.
"How can I believe you after all that has been happening recently? You know that our relationship is rocky as it is." Sarah, his wife, responded.

"There they go arguing…again." Ruthie Camden stated.
"That's all they've been doing since they got here. I wish they would just stop." Her brother Simon agreed.
It was winter time at the Camden home, after Hanukkah but not close enough to Christmas to make Sarah feel uncomfortable. Matt and Sarah had, somehow, gotten time off from the hospital and had decided to come down and see their families/in-laws. It was supposed to be a happy vacation for everyone. But the minute the pair stepped into the home, they hadn't stopped arguing. What perplexed (and worried) everyone was why were they fighting?
"We have to do something about this…and now," Lucy, who had come down the stairs, joined in the conversation, "if Savannah wakes up one more time because of them yelling at each other, I don't know what I'll do!"
"Ok but what can we do?" Simon asked.
"I think I might have a plan…" Ruthie responded

The ticked off couple came down the stairs to stare at an empty breakfast table. And an empty living room and heck, an empty house!
"Where is everyone?" Sarah asked her equally confused husband.
"I have no idea. Maybe they went out or something. Let's go see if the cars in the garage." The two walked over to the door that lead to the garage and found it…locked.
Slightly startled by that fact they went and tried the front door, the back door and the side door and found them all locked.
"Ok…so we're locked into your parent's house, now what?" Sarah asked.
"Hey what's this?" Matt asked, grabbing something off of the fridge. It was a sheet of paper with:
'Matt & Sarah,
We're tired and frankly quite worried about all of the fighting between you two. We want it to stop so we locked you in the house and am not letting you out until you make-up.
Love,
Your family/in-laws'

"Ruthie! Lucy! Let us out right now!" Matt shouted to the deafening silence of the home.
"I don't think that anyone is here Matt. Maybe we should just do as the letter requests or at least try."
"I guess you're right…so what's wrong with us and our marriage?"
"I don't really understand it either, I mean, we get along so well but after that whole Heather thing that happened during the summer…I just don't know anymore." Sarah took a seat on a small couch. Matt came and sat next to her.
"Look, I'm sorry about Heather. I can't say that enough, really. But, nothing like that will ever happen again. Ever. I love you Sarah. I just want to be with you. You and no one else. I can't stand to see you upset like this."
"I know that it won't happen again but it still scares me. And then I saw you talking to that intern and I just freaked out."
"Is this what your upset about?"
Sarah nodded.
"That intern just wanted some help with a chart, she already has a boyfriend and she knew that I was married." He glanced down at his wedding ring as he said this. Matt reached his arm up and wrapped it around Sarah's shoulders, bringing her closer to him. He smiled as the scent of her came drifting through his nose. She turned to him and looked into his eyes.
"We're just going to have to start trusting each other more." She said and leaned her head into his chest.

Ice: Yes…this was strange and turned out totally differently than I thought it would so that leaves me with another idea to make another one-shot with. YAY!

Earth: What's with the cheering?

Water: Don't worry about it. Just go back to sleep. Review's are greatly appreciated!
