Hey everyone thanks for the reviews... I'm glad you all are enjoying... well here's another chapter... this chapter won't end with a cliffhanger so don't worry .

They looked up to see that it was …

"Zoey…" Martin whispered through the rain. The feeling of guilt swarmed into Martin's body.

"What ... Why ... How could you!" Zoey was furious. She couldn't believe that Martin cheated on her. Ruthie stood there in silence. 'Oh my god...i forgot about Zoey..' she thought to herself.

"Zoe... I'm sorry.. I know I canceled on you and I didn't tell you this sooner. But I do love Ruthie. I tried forgetting it since I didn't think she would like me. I'm sorry. I really didn't mean to hurt you." Martin started saying. Guilt was still all over his body.

"I can't believe you would do this! I loved you!" she yelled as she ran away, eyes filled with tears. Ruthie stood there amazed. She could tell Zoey loved Martin with all her heart. She can't get in between that. It just wouldn't feel right. Martin stood there watching Zoey run away in the rain. He looked back at Ruthie.

"Follow her. She needs you." Ruthie said with the most energy she could. Martin, looking reluctant, slightly nodded and followed. "I'll talk to you when I get back. Are you okay going home alone?" Martin asked worried.

"I'll be fine. Follow her." Ruthie said as she walked off. Martin ran after Zoey. Ruthie started walking home in the rain. As she was walking, her thoughts scrambled in her mind. 'I can't be with him. He has Zoey. I can't break them up. Zoey loves him too much. I have to tell him. I'm not going to go through with this. I'll tell him.' she thought as a tear came down her eye. She came to the front of her house.

She went through her the back door and saw Annie. "Hi mom." She said as she headed for the stairs. "Ruthie! Be careful you might catch a cold! You should go upstairs and take a hot shower." Annie said. 'Like it really matters' Ruthie thought but instead she just said, "Okay"

Ruthie went upstairs to her room. As she was gathering her things on her bed, she couldn't help but think about what she was going to say to Martin. How she now knows how he truly feels about her yet she won't be with him..in his arms.. She didn't want to think anymore. She took her towel and went into the bathroom.

A while later Martin comes through the back door of the Camden residence. Annie was looked up and saw he was soaking. She looked confused. 'Were they out together?' she thought to herself. "Hi Ms. Camden. Where's Ruthie?" Martin said out of breath. "Oh, she just went upstairs." Annie said.

Martin looked up at the stairs then turned his head to Annie. "May I?" Martin asked as he motioned towards the stairs. "Sure. But just a warning, she seemed a little down when she got home." Martin looked down. "Okay. Thank you."

Martin makes his way upstairs. He was so anxious to talk to Ruthie that he forgot to knock and just walked in. Just at that moment, Ruthie was coming out of the bathroom, wet hair and only a towel on. Martin's eyes widened and he turned away quickly just as Ruthie let out a little shriek. "Sorry sorry sorry!" Martin said as he ran out the door and stood outside. 'Damn she looked hot' he thought as he was standing outside the door. Ruthie quickly got into her boy shorts and tank and went to the door. "I'm done." Ruthie said as she made her way to her bed. Just then, Martin walked in.

"Ruthie.." Martin began but he was stopped by Ruthie. "No. Let me talk first. When we were in the rain, it was a spur of the moment thing. It meant nothing. You have Zoey and we should have known better. So let's just forget everything that just happened. I think it's best for everyone." Ruthie said as she looked at the floor. Martin's heart took a stab. He looked up at her. "What? You know that I meant everything I said. I know you love me too. I do now. You can't just ignore that. That meant something I know it did!" Martin said looking straight at her but he couldn't make eye contact since she kept her eyes on the floor.

"No. You're just not thinking straight. It meant nothing. You'll realize it soon. You know Zoey loves you. You two are made for each other. Hold on to her." Ruthie said, trying her best to hold back the tears. Martin took another stab to the heart. "You don't mean that Ruthie. I know you don't. And this has nothing to do with Zoey. Me and her are.." Ruthie wouldn't let him finish. "No Martin. You love her! Keep that in mind! We're just friends! I don't have any feelings for you!" She said with all her strength as she held her tears back. Her eyes feel like they were about to explode into a river.

Martin took the third stab in the heart. He couldn't take it anymore. He went up to her and pulled her by her shoulders, off the bed. At that moment, his lips met hers. She didn't want to pull away but she couldn't let him do it. She tried but he was too strong. Martin finally pulled away. He looked at Ruthie who won't make eye contact with him. "Ruthie, look at me." She was reluctant to. "Look at me" he said again more serious. She slowed lifted her head to look at him. He looked straight into her eyes. "Look straight at me and tell me you don't love me."

She tried so hard to not let a tear fall from her eye, but she couldn't. A single tear came from her eye. She looked up at him once more. "I don't love you." She said to him with every speck of energy in her body.

Martin saw the tear come down from her eye. He gently let go of her shoulders. "I know that's not true Ruthie! I love you! And if that is not believable I will show you." With that said, Martin walked out the door as Ruthie fell on her bed and poured her heart out on her pillow. "I love you Martin! I love you with all my heart but I had to let you go. I had to." She said as she cried herself to sleep.
