CHAPTER 12:

THANKS FOR THE REVIEWS THIS ONE WILL BE ABOUT RUTHIE AND MARTIN TALKING TO ERIC

Ruthie got out of her car and was walked into the hospital not ready to talk to her dad about him dying.

"Hey, daddy how is it going?"

"Hey, Ruthie it is going OK."

"Dad I am so sorry that I did not come home earlier. If I would of know a few months ago then I would definitely of come."

"Ruthie know one knew not even me until that day I had my heart attack and you coming home more often will not change that."

"I know I just fell so hopeless because I can't help you."

"Ruthie the best thing you can do for me now is to live you life the best you can."

"Dad, I am doing that now I am also happy with the way my life is right now."

"Are you sure about that?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well, I can't help but think that you are still in love with Martin."

"Dad how can you say that I don't love him anymore and I just can't go through all that heartache again."

"Ruthie I know what he did was wrong and so does he and why it has been seven years I know that he still loves you and he always will I just wish you guys could find your way back to each other."

"Dad I just can't go back to him."

"Can't or Won't?"

"Both I know that what he did was wrong and I understand why he did it he just got caught up in the moment but who is to say that he wont do it again. Like if we got married and he was at work and it was late and him and some girl got distracted by one another and just got caught up in the moment then what would happen if it went further than a kiss. Dad that would kill me that is why I can't go through it all again."

"Ruthie, I understand why you would think that but do you really thank that Martin would do that again. Because I don't think that."

"Dad, you sound like you are on his side."

"Ruthie, I am on no ones side and I am dying and do you really think that I would tell you to give Martin a second chance if I did not believe it was true? I just want what is best for my youngest daughter."

"No, I guess not. But how could I forgive him knowing what he did."

"Ruthie I can't answer that for you."

"That is something you will have to do for yourself. But I always had high hopes that I would get to Marry you to some special guy someday and for a while when you and Martin were dating I thought it would be him. You two went threw so much together."

"Daddy, I really wish you could of marry me off someday. When that day comes I will make sure that that lucky guys knows how much of a great father I had. And on my wedding day I will be thinking of you. I really did think that I would marry Martin someday to but I guess that will never happen."

"Ruthie, Never say Never. You and Martin are right for one another and I know for a fact that he still loves you and that you still love him."

"What makes you think that."

"Well, since he moved to Florida he has not been in a serious relationship and neither have you. Sure you guys have dated but it seems that neither one of you guys can fall in love again. Now am I right or wrong?"

"Well, you are right about that part I haven't loved anyone since Martin, but how do you know what he hasn't loved anyone?"

"We kept in touch and he said he had a few girlfriends but he didn't feel the way about them that he did you. Ruthie will you promise me that you will talk to him and maybe give him a second chance?"

"Dad I can promise to talk to him but I can't promise that I will take him back"

"I believe in my heart that you two will find your way back to one another I just hope it is sooner rather than Later."

"Yeah dad thanks this little talk has helped me a lot."

"Well, I just said the truth."

"Dad, I have to get going I have a lot to do today but I will come back later I promise."

"Okay. Ruthie I love you."

"I love you to."

"Ruthie can you do me a favor?"

"Sure dad anything you want"

"Okay I want you to go to this address and pick a small package that is there for me please?"

"Sure thing dad."

Ruthie walked out of the hospital with a lot on her mind. She kept thinking if she could forgive Martin and let him in again...

Martin walked into the hospital room to see the man he considered a second father laying in bed.

"Hey Eric."

"Oh hey Martin."

"Eric can I ask you a question?"

"Sure."

"Do you think Ruthie will ever forgive me. I really love her and I never stopped I know what I did was stupid it never would of went further that a kiss. I just got caught up in the moment. I just wish she could forgive me.

"Martin. I know that Ruthie still loves you she is just afraid to let you in again because she is afraid that you will hurt her again."

"I would never do that again I just wish she would talk to me so I could explain all this to her."

"Ruthie is a strong independent women and she is stubborn you just have to find a way to get to her, so that she will listen."

"Yeah, I know I just wish I could run into her somewhere so I could tell her this."

"Martin can you do me a question?"

"Anything."

"I need you to go the this address and pick up a package that will be there for me. Can you do that?"

"Sure."

"Okay, thank you."

"Your Welcome."
