CHAPTER 13:

THANKS FOR THE REVIEWS THIS CHAPTER IS MARTIN AND RUTHIE TALKING YAY ANYWAY ON WITH THE STORY!

Ruthie was sitting in her car staring up at this huge house not quiet believing that this could be the he right address this place was huge. After a few more minutes she finally got up the courage to walk to the front door.

"Dad, what could you possibly want me to get from here" Ruthie said as she was talking to herself

"Okay, 12852 Mullein Street. Yep this is the right address. Okay, dad lets go see what is in this package."

Ruthie walked up to the house with large oak doors and walked and rang the doorbell she waited as she heard footsteps coming toward the oak door.

A woman came and opened up the big oak doors.

"Yes, Can I help you."

"Umm, I think you may be able to I am Ruthie Camden and my father Reverend Eric Camden and he sent me to this address to get a package for him."

"Oh, Yes Ms. Camden we have been expecting you. If you will please follow me.

Ruthie walked into the house and was led into a huge room with a lot of furniture and knick knacks everywhere.

"If you will have a seat over there I will go and check on your package."

"Okay, thank you."

The woman left the room and left Ruthie all alone to look around

"Dad, this must be some package to get me all the way out here. What could it be?" Was all Ruthie could keep thinking."

Mean while outside Martin was outside at the bottom steps not sure if he was at the right place.

"Eric, what could be so great that this is the place you have me come and get it."

Martin finally walked up the steppes and began to walk toward the door when he got there he knocked on the door. The old woman heard this and quickly walked to the door making sure that Ruthie did not see her.

"Yes, Sir can I help you?"

"Yes, I think you can I am Martin Brewer and Eric Camden who is a minister over at Glenoak sent me here to get some type of package for him."

"Yes, Mr. Camden called us and informed us that you would be stopping by. So we have been expecting you. Please come in."

"Okay, thank you."

Martin followed the woman down the long hall and into a room that looked like some type of family room because there was a table, furniture and all kinds of games.

"If you would wait here I will go and check on your package. Is there anything I can get for you why you wait."

"No, ma'am there is nothing I need and I will wait here why you go and check on the package."

"Okay, I will be back soon."

The woman walked down the long hall a saw Ruthie still sitting on the couch.

"Ms. Camden?"

"Yes,"

"Your package is ready so if you will follow me I will take you to it.

"Ruthie followed the woman down the long hall and into a large family room.

"Your Package is right over there on the table." the old woman pointed out

"Okay, thank-you." Ruthie said

Ruthie was half way to the package when she heard a door close and a click. She ran to the door.

"Hey, what is going on let me out of here."

"Ruthie, what are you doing here." Martin said coming out from behind a huge bookcase

"I could ask you the same thing."

"Well, your dad sent me here to pick up some kind of package for him."

"That can't be possible because he sent me here to get the pack--wait a minute he set us up."

"What? Why would he do that?"

"Because he wants us to talk about what happened all those years ago. Plus I told him that I would talk to you and he knew I never would."

"So then what he set this whole thing up just for us to talk. And there is know real package?"

"Wait, that old lady said that the box was the package. Go and get it and see what is in it."

Martin walked over to the box and bring it back to where him and Ruthie were sitting. He pulled the top off and pulled out a picture of him and Ruthie at his high school prom he handed that to her.

She got a smile on her face.

"Is that it?"

"No, there is a note."

"Really? what does it say?"

Dear Ruthie and Martin:

I know you both are probably wondering why you are here. It is simple I want you to talk about what happened all those years ago and see if you can work things out. I know that you to don't want to talk about it but I made it clear to Mrs. Mills ( a/n the old woman) that she is not to let you guys out until you talk. You are both stubborn but I believe you can work it out.

I love you both

Eric

"How could he do this to me?"

"Ruthie, I think we should talk about this."

"Martin, how many times do I have to tell you I don't want to hear it ."

"Well, if you don't listen then I guess we are going to be here along time."

"Okay, fine then. Martin explain it to me."

Well, I did kiss that girl but it never would have went further than that. It was a mistake I wish I could take it all back. I know I can't, what happened that night it would not have gone any further that a kiss I know what I did was wrong but I love you so much I just wish you would give me a second chance."

"Martin, you don't know for sure if you would be able to stop it or not. Just how do I know that if I were to give you a second chance how do I know that you will not get caught up in the moment again and go even further."

"I would never get caught up in something like that again because if I had you back in my life it would be complete. Ruthie I never stopped loving you I tried. I dated other people and I tried to love them but I just couldn't let them into my heart because I already gave it away to someone else."

Ruthie now had tears in her eyes but was not yet ready to forgive him

"Martin, I don't have a good history with guys the ones I loved would not love me or they would break my heart and I just don't want to go through that again."

"Ruthie I will never hurt you again I swear to that. Just give me a chance."

"Martin--"

"Ruthie, please just give me one more chance"

"Martin--"

"Because I swear I will never hurt you again"

Ruthie could not get him to shut up so she did the only think she could think of she crashed her lips down on his.

After a few minutes they came up for air.

"So, does this mean that you forgive me?"

"You know what I think it does."

"YES" Martin screamed as he picked her up and swung her around

"So now what do we do?"

"I think we should go to my dad and tell him that his plan worked and then tell the rest of my family."

As if one cue the doors flew open and Martin Laced his fingers into Ruthie's as they went outside to go to the hospital to tell her dad the great news
