Hey .. thanks for the review everyone. Wow after that I had to think really hard to come up with something .. well here's chapter 3.
"Hello?"
"H-hello? Ma-martin?" Ruthie managed to say.
"Ruthie? What's wrong? Are you okay?" Martin asked with concern. 'Tell me she's okay.' He thought. His heart was starting to beat fast.
"I-I n-n-need you. P-please come.." Ruthie was still crying. Her heart was broken into so many pieces, she wanted to just rip the pain out of herself.
"Okay. Okay. I'll be there. Don't move. Are you at the Promenade? " Martin said really fast. He was putting on his shoes as he held the phone up with his shoulder.
"Y-yeah." Ruthie was still on the ground. She wanted Martin to get there fast. "Okay. I'll be right there! Hold on okay?" Martin said. He grabbed his jacket and keys. "O-okay." She said. He hung up and ran out the door. As he got into the car, he thought 'Please let her be okay. Please. She means too much to me. I mean as a sister .. or .. why am I thinking about this right now! I need to get to Ruthie!'
He got to the Promenade. He got out of his car and started running to look for her. His heart was beating at a rate of a mile a minute. He ran to Pete's and finds Ruthie on her knees in front of the restaurant. His heart sunk. He ran over. "Ruthie," he said looking down at her.
She looks up. "M-martin.." she said as she buries her face in her hands. Martin bends down to give her a hug. As he wraps his arms around her, she returns the hug by holding his waist. As he hugged her, he helped her up and walked her over to a bench near by. She couldn't stop crying.
"What's wrong Ruthie? What happened?" Martin asked heartbroken to see her this way. "V-vincent ch-cheated on me. We just b-broke up," she managed to say as she still held on to him. "WHAT!" Martin couldn't believe this. 'Who the hell does he think he is? He can't just hurt her like that?' Martin was getting pissed. "He just left you here!" Martin said. "I r-ran out. He's st-still in there w-with his g-girlfriend." Ruthie said.
"That asshole!" Martin couldn't hold it in. His body was built up with anger. "Come on Ruthie. Let's go see him," Martin said. She couldn't say anything. 'I've never seen Martin so mad before..why is he so mad?' she thought to herself. Tears were still coming down her eyes but she could now talk a little better. "What are you going to do?" Ruthie asked. "I going to go beat him up is what I'm going to do," Martin replied. He grabbed Ruthie's hand and went into Pete's.
Once they were in there, Martin spotted Vincent and Sara. They were sitting there laughing and flirting. That made Martin disgusted and even more furious. Ruthie saw him and just let tears roll down. Half way walking towards them, Martin let go of Ruthie's hand knowing she probably doesn't want to get too close to them.
"You asshole!" Martin yelled. Vincent looked up. As he saw Martin coming towards him, he gets up from his seat. "Martin? What are you doing here?" Vincent asked surprised.
"I came here to do this." Martin said and punched him. Vincent fell to the ground and Sara screamed and moved out of the way with her hand on her mouth. "How dare you do that to Ruthie! You know how much she liked you! Who the hell do you think you are?" Martin shouted at him.
"I didn't do anything! I was going to break up with her! It wasn't my fault," Vincent said still on the ground with a bloody lip. Martin gripped his hands into fists. "You didn't do anything! Do you see that girl that's been on the ground outside of the restaurant crying over you while you're in here with your bitch!" Martin said trying hard to hold himself back from hitting the shit out of Vincent.
"Come on Martin. Shouldn't you be the first to be happy that I broke up with her? You've liked her since you moved in with the Camdens!" Vincent shouted back. Martin was speechless. 'That's not right. I have Zoey! I don't like Ruthie in that way!' he tried telling himself. He was ready to give him another punch. Just when he held his arm up, Ruthie grabbed a hold of it.
"No," she said to Martin. She walked up to Vincent as he was still on the ground. She bent over and looked at him. "I am like a sister to Martin. You have no right to say anything right now! I hate you!" she said as she slapped him. "You're just a worthless piece of crap!"
She stood up and turned to Martin. "He's not even worthy of getting beat up," she said to Martin. Martin let go of his fists. "You're lucky for now, but you better watch your back," Martin said to Vincent as he walked out behind Ruthie. Sara helped Vincent up as Ruthie and Martin walked out.
They got to the parking lot and they got into the car. Martin looked at Ruthie. "Are you okay?" he asked as he reached over and wiped a tear off her cheek. "Yeah I'm fine, thanks for coming Martin.." she said to him. "Anytime Ruthie. You know I'm always here for you," he said to her. "I know and thanks again," she said with a light smile. Martin smiles back and moved out of the parking lot.
Once he pulled up to the Camdens' house, they got out of the car and Ruthie walked towards the house. She stopped and turned around. Martin was walking towards his garage apartment. "Martin!" Ruthie said. Martin turned around. "Yeah?" Martin said.
She ran over to him. "Thank you again for always being there when I need you. I love you," she said and she gave him another hug. He froze for a moment as she wrapped her arms around his waist. He snapped back and put his arms around her shoulders. "No problem Ruthie. I love you too," Martin said. 'Wow I just said 'I love you' to Ruthie Camden. I mean it as a sister right? Yes. I mean no! I mean.. I'm going out wit Zoey so..' he was so confused.
They finally let go and Ruthie gave him a kiss on the cheek and turned to walk towards the house. "Good night Martin," Ruthie said and ran in the house. "Night Ruthie," Martin said after her. He walked up to his apartment, changed and got in bed. 'I can't lie to myself anymore. I am in love with Ruthie Camden. I am actually in love with Ruthie. What am I going to do now? How am I going to tell her? What am I going to tell Zoey?' he kept thinking until he finally drifted to sleep dreaming about Ruthie.
As Martin was thinking about Ruthie, Ruthie was also thinking about Martin. She laid on her bed. 'Martin is so good to me. I love him. But I'm like a sister to him. He's older than me by two years. There's no way he would like me like that. And he has Zoey. I guess my feelings will just be for me to know.. I love Martin Brewer.' She kept thinking and finally she went to sleep dreaming about Martin.
