Martin sat down on the couch with Ruthie in is his lap. She pulled away for air as he pulled her hair down. The curls fell in waves around her face and Martin ran his hands through it. Martin stood up and carried Ruthie to the bedroom. He pulled away, "You sure you wanna do this?" She just nodded pulling Martin down on the bed with her.

He gently wrapped an arm around her waist as they laid there panting and sweating. She had just slept with him but oddly she didn't feel bad or guilty but it felt okay. She knew that she had to leave before she never left.

As she pulled away Martin just looked into the sunset hoping that nothing would happen. He sat in front of the TV watching some cop show wondering why Ruthie hadn't called him. Suddenly his cell started to ring, he grabbed it and answered. "Ruthie?"

"Martin its Sandy."

"What's up?"

"Its Ruthie." The phone fell from his hand as he slowly sat down on the chair. "Martin! Martin!" Shaking his head violently getting rid of the nasty thoughts he slowly picked up the phone.

"What happened?"

"I'll tell you everything when you come to the hospital." Martin hung up and ran to his car. The drive to the hospital couldn't have taken longer, Martin's knuckles ached from so tight on the steering wheel for so long.

"What happened?"
"Sit down."

"What happened!" He exclaimed causing everyone in the waiting room to look at them.

"Martin she was driving and the semi in front of her jack knifed. She didn't have time to stop she slammed into the trunk." He fell into the seat beneath him not wanting to believe that it was happening.

"Is she okay?" He choked out not wanting to cry in front of her.

"She's in surgery right now." He looked up at her with watery eyes begging her to tell him it was all a joke. Simon walked up his eyes matching Martin's.

"This can't be happening."

"Martin just relax." He couldn't hold it together anymore. He put his head in his hands and silently prayed to god that she would be okay. He felt a hand on his shoulder and looked up and saw Mac sitting next to him.

"What are you doing here?"

"Sandy called me and asked if I could come. I'm here for you."

"I'm fine."

"No you're not, its okay to be scared we're all scared." The whole family soon arrived and everyone was asking about Ruthie every 5 minutes. Martin just sat in the corner silently crying.

Hours later everyone was still in the waiting room waiting to hear something. When the doctor came into the waiting room he was bombarded with questions. He answered everyone's question.

"When can we see her?" Simon asked after everyone had quieted down.

"She's still a little groggy but she seems to keep asking for a Martin Brewer." Martin's head shot up the tears evident.

"I'm Martin." He whispered putting his head back down.

"She wants to see you."

"I think you should go Martin." Annie walked over to Martin. "She wants to see you. Just go talk to her." He nodded following the doctor who pointed to her room. He stopped to take a deep breath. She looked at him as he sat down on her bed.

"You're beautiful. I was so scared that something bad was going to happen." He bent down and slowly kissed her forehead. A tear slid down her cheek causing him to shed a tear. "Don't cry, I'm here now and not going anywhere. I love you Ruthie." He kissed her cheek and sat in the chair next to her bed.
