S poor Simon
M yeah I wonder why she came back to him after 10 years
Matt maybe because she knew Simon stayed with her after he found out about her leukemia and that was his first girlfriend.
M yeah you are right
S well I just hope ruthie can do it
Matt she will me able to that is why I picked her.
They left to go back to Mary's it is about 3
Camden
S ruthie please help
R don't worry Simon I am going to do it right now I will get her back for you
S thank you
R you just wait here
Ruthie ran down the stairs
A hey where you going in such a hurry
R I have got to go help my brother
A oh are you going to talk to Cecelia
R yes
A ok good luck
R thanks I will need it. If peter calls tell him I will be back later
A ok bye
Ruthie was walking to cecelia's and she ran into Lucy taking a walk with the kids
L hey where are you off to in a rush
R can't talk now I will tell you later
L at least the short version
R all right but walk with me and I will tell you
L ok
R Deana came back told Simon that she wants him back here leukemia is back and worse Cecelia saw them hug and now she won't talk to him and Matt told me to go and talk to her because Simon is a mess and we need to get them back together.
L oh ok need any help
R no I could handle it
L ok good luck
R thanks
Ruthie got to Cecelia's and rang the bell but there was no answer she tried again and she head the TV on and knew she was there
R Cecelia it is ruthie can I please come in I need to talk to you
C she goes to the door and makes sure that Simon is not with her and then lets her in
R can I talk to you it is really important
C I guess
Ruthie could tell that Cecelia had been crying a lot like her brother. They sat down on the couch
C I am not going back with him I thought he loved me and then I see him hugging another girl you can give him the ring back.
R wait can you hear me out before you don't want to marry him and through that last 5 years away
C I guess
R thanks ok so the girl you saw Simon with her name is Deana and they used to go to school together when they were little. And then became Simon's first real girlfriend. And there is nor behind the story but let me just tell you what you need to know first
C ok
R so they were going out and then she told him that she had leukemia and he stayed with her even though she had it even though my dad knew first he got over it. And then she had to move so they broke up. And she came back last night to tell him that her leukemia came back and it is worse then ever. So all he was doing last night was helping her out in a hard time. They are over each other and have been for many years.
C oh boy do I feel stupid?
R well it is all right you didn't know. But please don't give him back the ring or brake up with him he is a wreck without you and won't eat and just keeps crying. Trust me I know Simon best he loves you with all his heart and would do anything for you. And it is hard to see him in pain. And I know you love him. Right?
C yeah I do I just got scared that he was cheating on me
R well I know you thought that but he would never do that to you and if he did I would kick his butt.
C you're right
R so please tell you are going to get back with him
C yeah I will thank you for coming down here and telling me all this
R I had to do it for my brother I can't stand to see him like this.
C thanks now you were saying there is more to the story about them what is that
R well when they were going out Deana's ex told Simon he was going to kill him
C what
R yup all true so Deana and Simon had to stay home from school for a little while until they got everything cleared up and my dad went over to talk to his dad and that didn't help he was just like his son. And then one day when my dad was working at church the boy came and shot him in the arm.
C oh my gosh I can not believe someone would do that. Well I am glad that your dad and your brother are ok
R yeah me to. So all he is doing is helping out a sick friend
C ok thanks for getting that all cleared up for me
R no problem we won't want you out of our family. So please promise me that you won't break things off.
C I won't now.
R well you come back with me so we can tell Simon the good news
C sure
They drove the camdens and they both ran upstairs to find a still crying Simon
R let me go in and tell him and then I will be out of your way
C ok
Ruthie sat on Simon's bed with him
S well how did it go please tell you got her back
R Simon would I ever let you down
S no
R well you are right I told her everything about you and Deana and got her back for you
S ruthie you are the greatest sister anyone could ask for
He picked her up and hugged and kissed her

R I don't know but I will now let you be alone with your girlfriend
S you brought her back
R yes

Cecelia came in and ruthei left
S I am so sorry if you thought I was cheating on you
C no I am sorry for jumping to conclusions
