"Gee Peter I think you can see what this is."

"I was talking to Ruthie, not you."

"Peter please go away."

"No Ruthie I need you."

"Martin can you give us a minute?"

"Yeah I'll be downstairs." He left and Ruthie crossed her arms.

"You have 1 minute."

"Ruthie I'm really sorry, I shouldn't have pressured you to have sex when you weren't ready. I just need you; I shouldn't have broken up with you over something that stupid. Just please take me back."

"No. I don't have feelings for you anymore."

"Ruthie don't threw away what we have."

"We have nothing. I can't be with someone who doesn't respect what I want." She moved towards the stairs but Peter stopped her. He pulled her back towards him and kissed her pushing her back towards the bed. He broke away long enough for him to be on top of Ruthie.

She screamed the loudest that she could before his mouth was on hers again. Martin heard her in the house and so did everyone else. Kevin was first to run then Simon, Matt, and Martin was the last.

Kevin stood there stunned until Simon ran into him. They pulled Peter off of Ruthie and when Martin finally realized what was going on he got furious.

Matt saw the look in Martin's eye and stopped him. Martin tried fighting but Matt held him back.

"You are so lucky I can't hit you. I would kill you!"

"But you can't because you're not strong enough to break free of Matt."

"Shut up Peter or I'll let him go." Matt warned but Peter didn't get the hint.

"You thought that you come here kiss her and erase everything you put her through. She needed me to pick up the pieces and fix the mess you created. She doesn't need you anymore."

"I warned you." Matt step aside and Martin was like a lion in the cage at feeding time. He was about to hit Peter when he saw the look in Ruthie's eyes. He pushed Peter out of his way and went to Ruthie.

"Are you okay?" She just nodded her head. She bowed her head hiding her tears from everyone. Martin looked at Simon and nodded before she fell into Martin's embrace.

"I'm sorry you had to see that."

"Don't worry but it's a good thing that you can scream."

"Yeah I guess."

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing. I just don't know why he'd do something like that?"

"I don't know either. But come on let's go enjoy the rest of your party." He led her downstairs and back into the house. The party was still in full swing and nobody knew about what had happened.

Ruthie pulled Martin on the dance floor. Martin just watched as she moved around him. She could feel his eyes on her and she smiled to herself. She didn't know what was going to happen with them after tonight but she didn't care. All she wanted was to have fun on her birthday.

"You wanna get out of here?" He whispered into her ear. She nodded and move toward the front door. Once outside in the cool air he laughed as she danced.

"What do you want to do?"

"Whatever you want to do?" The rain started falling and Ruthie tilted her head back.

"I wanna dance in the rain."

"You sure?"

"Yes Martin I want to dance in the rain with you."

"How do you dance without music?"

"It's my birthday please?"

"Okay." She pulled him in the middle of his front yard as he held on to her. She started swaying to no music and Martin soon started with her. They looked completely crazy out in the rain, soaked and dancing to no music. He just laughed at them while she was lost in her song.

"Ruthie no offense but this is kinda silly."

"Well I thought it was fun."

"That's all that matters."

"Ruthie!" Her friend Heather yelled from across the street. "Come on we're going to the club."

"Hey Martin wanna come with us to the club?"

"Do you want me to go?"

"Yes."

"Then let's go." If she was going to the club he was going to be there to watch out for her. She could drink now and Martin had a feeling that she would be out of control if she had too much.

I hope you like this chapter. The next chapter will be Ruthie's first trip to the club and everything that happens after Ruthie has too much to drink.
