Chapter 2

Together Again

Ruthie

I felt someone shaking me and heard my name being called, but I was too exhausted. Could you get a hang over from ice cream? (A/N: Lol, sometimes I think you can. Does anyone else feel that way?)

"Five more minutes," I mumbled without thinking.

A male voice chuckled nearby.

"Ruth, you gotta wake up," a familiar voice said.

I slowly turned, and opened my eyes. I was about to say 'Go away'. But then I found myself looking up into a pair of memorable sparkling green eyes.

"Martin!" I exclaimed. "What are you doing here?" I said as reached over to hug him.

"Ruthie, we were supposed to meet at the Promenade, remember?" he asked.

"I must have been sleeping. I forgot to turn on the alarm clock," I said. I felt so wretched. I can't believe I had forgotten to meet with Martin. "I'm so sorry, Martin." I said as I pulled out of the embrace, missing the feel of holding him. God (sorry God) I have to stop thinking like that.

His expression softened.

"That's alright, Ruthie," he said. "Did something ghastly happen last night?" Martin's eyes bored into mine, and I knew I couldn't lie to him.

"Yes," I murmured, feeling my eyes fill up again.

Martin's green eyes were blazing, and his fists clenched, but otherwise his face was blank.

"What happened, Ruth?" he asked softly.

I took a deep breath and repeated the events of last night.

Martin

I persuaded Ruthie to come with Mac and me that night, I told her it would help and I knew it would.

I left her to take a shower and get dressed, by going into the kitchen. I decided I would call Mac on my cell phone. I wanted to tell him about the change in our plans.

"Hey, Mac," I said once he picked up.

"Hey, Martin. Are we still on for tonight at Pete's and a movie?" he asked.

"Yeah, but is it okay if I bring, Ruthie? She had a terrible night."

"Sure, you know I'd be happy to see her again. But are you sure you won't want to be alone?" I could hear the smirk in his voice. He knew how I felt about Ruthie.

I sighed, "Mac, you know we're just friends".

"Yes, but I also know you love her."

"We agreed to only be friends," I said not knowing if I was trying to convince Mac or myself. "Plus I already told Ruthie we would meet you there," I added.

"Why did she have a rough night?" Mac asked changing the subject.

I waited a second to make sure I heard the shower running before I continued. Ruthie might kill me if she knew I'd told Mac.

"That jerk Johnny broke up with her last night when she thought he was going to propose."

"Whoa, harsh. Do you want deal with him or should I?"(A/N: I love that line. I think that was something Mac would say .Lol)

"I'd love to Mac, but Ruthie made me promise not to do anything to him." She's A weakness of mine what can I say? Ruthie was to pretty and smart for her own good.

"Bummer, well I'll see you guys in like 2 hours, bye," Mac said.

"Bye, Mac," I replied.

A/N: Well that was my second chapter. Tell me if it was good and keep writing or if it sucked and I should stop. I'd love to hear your feed back. Even if it's cruel. And if you have suggestions that would be good. Okay in short REVIEW!
