Martin was in Ruthie's hospital room sitting next to her. He couldn't believe that she was in a coma.

"Mr. & Mrs. Camden, I'm sorry. Ruthie has slipped into a coma. She has a few broken ribs and bruises on her body." For him having to tell parents news like this was the hardest thing to do.

Martin turned his head a little so he could hear. "A coma? No this can't be happening not to Ruthie!" Martin felt his whole world crumble around him and there was nothing he could do.

After a few moments, Martin snapped back to reality. Looking at Ruthie's unconscious body brought tears to his eyes. His best friend was lying there in a coma, and all he could do was hope she woke up.

"Doctor is there any chance she could wake up soon?" A very upset Annie asked.

"I'm not sure. It could be awhile before she wakes up or it could be days." Not being able to answer their questions was hard.

"May I go and sit with her? Please?" Martin wanted to be with her in case she woke up.

"Yes you may." The doctor could tell how worried Martin was.

Martin picked up Ruthie's hand and spoke to her. "Ruthie please wake up, I need you. Seeing you like this brings back so many memories of my mother." Martin began to cry and let his tears fall.

"I hope you can hear me. I know I haven't been a good friend to you lately, but I want to make it up to you. I love you and I can't show you how much you mean to me unless you wake up." He had to look away from her. The tears were falling harder from his eyes and he felt like he could barely talk.

Her face covered in bruises and her tiny form covered in bandages, was too hard for him to see. Not knowing if Ruthie would wake up was the most terrifying thing to think about.

Inside Ruthie's mind she could hear Martin's voice, but didn't know what he was saying. She tried to fight her way back to him, but couldn't. Ruthie's mind was screaming. "Martin I'm here, please don't leave! Please."

Nothing would work, she couldn't wake herself up. She tried and tried but all Ruthie could do was lay there lost in her mind.

"I promise when you wake up things will be different. I won't ever lie to you again or keep things from you. Just please wake up please." Martin laid his head on Ruthie's hand and cried. He kept saying over and over for her to wake up, but nothing happened.

Martin wished he could go back in time and change what had happened, but the reality was he couldn't. Nothing he did could ever change the past. The images of the accident replayed over and over in his mind. If only I had ran faster? That was the question that he kept asking himself.

"You know, the first day I met you I thought you were the nicest girl I ever met. I was new to this town and you welcomed me with open arms. Ruthie you were never like my little sister, you were my best friend, someone I could always count on. Don't go; please don't leave me here alone." Martin had reached his breaking point. He broke down with tears and sorrow.

Inside, Martin's heart was breaking into a million pieces. Memories of his mother dying were coming back. When his mother was dying, he was always near her bed side holding her hand or talking to her. Seeing Ruthie like this made him think of his mom. If Ruthie died, he didn't know what he would do. Martin would feel alone and empty like he did when his mother passed away. The thought of feeling that pain again was too hard for Martin to even think about. Ruthie couldn't die! She was too strong of a person to give up. But what if Ruthie didn't want to fight? Why would she want to come back to a life where her best friend lies to her and her family betrays her?

"I know I haven't been a good friend to you right now, but you have a lot of people who need you here. Your parents need you, your brothers and sisters need you, but most of all, I need you!" Martin had to keep his cool. Even though she was in a coma he had to be calm.

"Without you I wouldn't have anyone to talk to or share my secrets with. God knows you love hearing secrets." He said with a laugh.

"So if you can hear me…please wake up. You bring so much happiness to people where ever you go. Ruthie if you leave, you'll be taking the light from everyone's heart with you. When you smile it lights up a room and when you laugh it fills people's heart with warmth." Martin practically choked that out because he was crying so much. His heart felt so heavy with guilt that his words felt deafening to him, as if he was saying them but no one could hear him.

"You're like an angel Ruthie. Where ever you are people smile and feel so alive. I know that's what you did for me. You made me feel alive again for the first time since my mother died and I want to repay you for that. So please let me show you all the wonderful things you did for me. All you have to do is open your beautiful chocolate brown eyes. You don't just fill my heart Ruthie, you fill everything for me." He meant every word that he said to her. She was beautiful. Ruthie had this special glow around her, like she was an angel sent from heaven to light his way with happiness.

"Well I should let you get some rest. I promise I'll be here when you wake up." Trying his best not to cry, Martin continued. "I'm going to go see my son or daughter. I know that's what you would have wanted me to do." He kisses her forehead and leaves the room.

"COME BACK MARTIN...COME BACK..." Ruthie's mind was screaming. She had to wake up! Nothing was going to keep her from waking up.

Martin went to go see Sandy and the baby. He was nervous; not only because he was seeing his child for the first time, but because he left Ruthie alone in her room.

He approached Sandy's room and knocked on the door gently. "Sandy, it's me Martin, may I come in?"

"Sure, come in." Sandy was happy he came to see the baby.

"Hey how are you?" He was nervous. Martin looked at the baby in Sandy's arms and noticed the blue blanket. He thought to himself. I am the father of a baby boy.

"Martin I would like you to meet your son." She held the baby up so Martin could see his face.

"Wow! He is so tiny." This brought tears to Martins eyes. "I can't stay long because Ruthie's in a coma.

"What! Oh my God Martin what happened?" Sandy was so shocked.

"Ruthie was hit by a car as she was running from me. It's all my fault, everything's all my fault." Martin cried.

"No, it's not your fault! Don't you dare blame yourself for this. Martin, Ruthie wouldn't want you to blame yourself for this." Sandy tried to make him feel better.

"Would you like to hold your son?" Maybe that would help, she thought.

"No I don't think I should right now. He might sense how upset I am and I don't want that." Martin looked at his son and thought how beautiful he was, but he was having a hard time concentrating on something other than Ruthie.

"Would you like to name him? I like Aaron. What about you?" She said hoping it will take his mind off of things.

"Aaron is fine with me." He thought it fit him perfectly.

Just then Simon came running through the door. "Martin! Ruthie's awake!"

With hearing that, Martin was out the door...
