Chapter 3

"Rose", growled out Simon.

He looked her and grabbed Harmony's arm. He walked out the café only to walk into Sandy.

"My day just keeps getting better", muttered Simon.

Sandy looked at him.

"Simon", started Sandy.

Simon looked at her with disgust.

"I have nothing to say to you, keep away from Martin and my sister", said Simon holding onto Harmony's arm.

"Tell Martin I'm sorry", said Sandy looking down.

"NO I won't do that", said Simon.

"We were friends, I trusted you and you betrayed my trust, good you were willing to destroyed a boy's life for your own selfish purposes, I can't even look at you", said Simon.

"Simon", whispered Harmony.

Simon looked at her. Harmony smiled and cupped his face.

"Stay calm alright", whispered Harmony.

Simon nodded his head getting lost in her eyes.

"Yeah okay", said Simon.

Sandy looked on. She wished that Simon felt that way about her. She still didn't tell Rose about her and Simon's past relationship. She supposed she never will because she didn't want to lose the only friendship she had. Sandy looked at the girl that was holding Simon's arm and felt jealous run through her system. She was so angry. How could this girl take Simon from her? It's like it was happening all over again. Ruthie took Martin from her. She had to find a way to fix this.

Ruthie giggled as Martin carried her piggyback to his car.

"Martin, put me down", giggled Ruthie.

He looked at her and smiled.

"God I love you", whispered Martin setting her down on the ground before kissing her.

They turned around when they heard a throat clearing in back of them. Ruthie's eyes went wide.

"Vincent", said Martin growling.

"SO I was right, you did have a thing for Ruthie", said Vincent crossing his arms across his chest.

Ruthie glared at him.

"Didn't I tell you never to talk to me again, what are you doing here?" asked Ruthie.

Before he could answer Mac and Sammie walked up.

"Hey Ruthie", said Sammie smiling.

"You", said Max glaring at Vincent that stood before him.

He hated that guy. He always knew there was something off about him.

"The other one that liked Ruthie", said Vincent.

Sammie looked confused.

"Vincent", said Ruthie.

Sammie nodded her head she had heard about this jerk. She glared also.

"Was there something you wanted?" asked Martin holding Ruthie closer to his body.

No one was going to mess him and Ruthie up.

"I'll tell Ruthie later", said Vincent smiling cockily at Ruthie.

Martin actually growled at him.

"Ah over-protective, why is that not confident in your relationship?" asked Vincent sneering.

He was angry that he came back and he couldn't be with Ruthie. He realized his mistake by choosing to leave her. He wanted her back and all the time that he was away she was all he could think about. He wanted her and he was going to get her back.

"No he loves me like I love him, I have loved him for a long time, even when I was with you, you were just a substitution for the real thing, it's always been him and it's always going to be him. Go away to your girls in Hawaii it only took me two days to get over you", said Ruthie.

She grabbed Martin's arms looked him in the eye.

"It's always been you baby, I love you, do you understand?" asked Ruthie.

Martin smiled and nodded his head. He kissed her softly. They were so wrapped up in each other that they didn't even notice the sneer that Vincent was throwing them but Sammie and Mac did.

"God stop making that face, she loves him get over yourself", said Sammie rolling her eyes.

She looked up and spotted her sister. What was odd was that Simon was with her. They were walking towards them hand in hand. Sammie smirked at that. Humm her sister had a thing for Ruthie's brother, interesting.

"Alright let's roll", said Mac.

Martin smiled but kissed Ruthie gently on the mouth making sure that Vincent saw that Ruthie was his and nothing will get in between them. Harmony and Simon chatted a little bit with the group before they had to go home. Mac caught a ride with Harmony and Simon and Sammie because his home was closer to Sammie's house. They giggled in the back seat at the lovy dovy looks that Simon was throwing Harmony.

"If I ever get like that shoot me", whispered Mac smiling.

Sammie nodded her head before giggling. She liked Mac he was fun to be around plus he was cute.

Martin and Ruthie were in his car listening to music. A song came on and Ruthie had to sing it. It was Janet Jackson's Again.

Martin smiled at her. She had her eyes closed and her hand was touching his leg. She was into the song.

I heard from a friend today
And she said you were in town
Suddenly the memories came back to me in
My mind

Ruthie smiled at him and looked into his eyes. She closed her eyes again and sang form her heart.

Chorus:
How can I be strong I've asked myself Time and time I've said
That I'll never fall in love with you again

Martin listened to her and was amazed once more with Ruthie's singing abilities. It was simply awe inspiring to listen to her sing. He smiled and continued to drive. He loved hearing her sing.

A wounded heart you gave,
My soul you took away
Good intentions you had many,
I know you did
I come from a place that hurts,
an' God knows how I've cried
And I never want to return
Never fall again


Making love to you felt so good and
Oh so right


How can I be strong I've asked myself time and time I've said

That I'll never fall in love with you again

So here we are alone again,

Didn't think I'd come to this
And to know it all began
With just a little kiss

After that version Ruthie smiled at Martin. That line alone pertained to them, after a simple kiss. It was all it took.

Ruthie looked at him. They had reached in front of her house. She cupped his face and looked into his eyes. She sang directly to him. Make sure he felt her love for him.


I've come too close to happiness,
To have it swept away
Don't think I can take the pain
Never fall again
Kinda late in the game
And my heart is in your hands
Don't you stand there and then tell me
You love me
Then leave again
'Cause I'm falling in love with you again

Hold me, hold me

Ruthie smiled and bringing her face closer to his.She sang right to him. He actually trembled from the look on her face. He couldn't help it. She was so beautiful to him. And the song was getting to him. He could feel the words eating t his soul. Her eyes were drawing him in. Making him feel things he never felt before. He knew it he was completely in love her. He had fallen and there was no getting back up from that love again. She was his soulmate and his other half.


Don't ever let me go
Say it just one time
Say you love me
God knows I do love you again

Ruthie looked at him, and he whispered it into her ears.

"I love you, I love you", whispered Martin with one tear sliding down his face.

"I love you again", whispered Martin. Ruthie smiled and kissed him

"I love you again", whispered Ruthie taking his lips and kissing him with the passion that her whole soul possessed.

"My love", whispered Ruthie.

Martin nodded his head and leaned his forehead against hers. Tears fell down both their faces. He never felt this way. He never cried before especially in front of a girl.

"I want you to meet someone after school tomorrow", said Martin.

Ruthie had her eyes closed.

"Who?", she asked.

"My mother", whispered Martin.

Ruthie nodded her head. She understood.

" I would love to meet her", whispered Ruthie smiling.

She pulled him into her and kissed him. She felt complete. He was her soul, and she was his.
