Last Time

"Don't you dare say it! I'm so sick and tired of hearing how sorry you are"! You're not sorry because if you were you wouldn't keep treating me like this, you would stop"!

"Ruthie"! Martin yelled.

"Don't Ruthie me you did this to us not me! Look Martin I don't think we should be friends anymore for a while". Ruthie said with tears in her eyes.

"Ruthie you don't mean that"!

"I do Martin I really do because as of right now you don't know how to be friend! So do me a big favor, leave"!


Ruthie shot daggers at him. "You heard me I said leave"!

Martin stared at her with disbelief, she being so cold toward him. "Ruthie you're overreacting"!

"No I'm not. Now I'm going to ask you again to leave"!

"Fine, I'll leave! I'll come back when you grow up"! Martin turned and walked out the door leaving a speechless Ruthie standing there.

She gained her composure and closed the door. When she turned around she saw her family staring back at her. "I'm sorry I'm late" and with she fled the kitchen and headed to her room.

"Damn him" she spat bitterly as she slammed her door. She hated him; no she loved which made the situation complicated. It not like she asked to love him, you know the saying you can't choose who love. Ruthie locked her door she just wanted to be alone.

She sunk down to the floor as tears fled rapidly down her face. She didn't mean any of she was just jealous he was right about it all. She was overreacting.

Martin had been careless forgetting lots of things because his mind was Meredith, why shouldn't it be he loved her.

"No he shouldn't love her he should love me. Why can't he love me"! She yelled as she walked over toward her mirror her eyes were puffy and red; her nose was red as well. Ruthie hiccupped as wiped her eyes with a Kleenex she was startled by the knock at the door.

"Ruthie can I come in"? In an instant Ruthie recognized the voice.

"Ruthie come on I didn't mean what I said and I know you didn't either".

It was him Martin of all people. She had expected Lucy or her mom but not him. She hesitated but made her way toward the door.

"I wasn't expecting you. I mean I thought you left". Ruthie said as she sniffled.

"I did but I came back. Ruthie we need to talk".

"There nothing to talk about" she said avoiding eye contact.

"Are you kidding me Ruthie? There is so much we need to talk about! Ruthie I'm so sick of arguing with you about every little thing. Everything I do seems to make angry and I want to know why! No I deserve to know why, you owe that much"!

"Martin I don't owe you anything"!

"See there you go again! Here I am trying to talk to you and repair our friendship and your being cold towards me"! You know what forget it" and with that Martin walked out of her bedroom.

Two minutes later she ran after him, he was making his way across the street.

"Martin"! She yelled. "Martin"! By the time she had caught up with him she was in front of his house.

As she talked she started to cry. "Do you really want know"?

Martin looked at her he was startled by the fact that she was crying. "Yes I do want know! I mean come on I'm your best friend you can tell me anything".

"I… really hope so because this changes everything"!

"Ruthie would you just tell me because you're really starting to scare me".

"I trying Martin I'm really am but this really hard to say"!

Wiping the tears from her face she slowly started to speak again. "I love you Martin".

"Ruthie I love you too".

"No you're not getting it I'm in love with you!

"You get now"! Ruthie looked at Martin him seemed speechless at the moment so she wiped her eyes again and continued.

That's what I've been acting like this because I'm in love with you. You know you were right I am jealous of you Meredith's relationship! All this time I've been angry and hurt because she's with you and I'm not!

"Ruthie wait" interrupted Martin.

"No let me finish. I'm sorry I never meant for this to happen but it did and I can't change the way I feel"! "I've tried to move on but I can't stop loving you". Ruthie moved closer to Martin and pulled him into a kiss.
