Chapter Six
Meanwhile, Ruthie was driving down the road with Martin. She watched him drive. He looks so cute with his hands beating on the wheel, as If it was a drum, they didn't even have the radio on.
"Martin, where are you taking me?" she found herself asking.
"You'll see." he replied grinning at her.
"Martin, you do know I'm in love with T-Bone, right?" she asked not even sure if she was.
"But we slept together." he said taking his hands off the wheel.
"Martin!" Ruthie yelled, "Hands back on the wheel."
"Martin, I hate to break it to you but you take sex very lightly. I mean you didn't even use a condom with Sandy. It never seemed like a big deal to you. I didn't think it really meant anything"
"Yeah it did." he said pulling over.
"Why are you stopping?" she asked folding her arms.

"Because we need to talk if you think this was nothing?" Martin said leaning in closer to her.

"Martin can you back off a little." she said moving away.

"I don't get you?" he said, "You want me and then you don't. You dump me to stay with that jerk that broke up with you by text and then you sleep with me and tell me you still love him."
Ruthie looked down and sighed. She didn't know what to say to him. She didn't know how she felt, "I don't…think I do anymore."
"What do you think?" he asked.
"I think I need to be alone." she said and climbed out of the car. Ruthie sat down at a bench in the nearby park. She didn't know what she was supposed to be feeling. She had a headache from all the stress and she was starving.
Martin went into a food mart to get some stuff to eat he too was starving. He got back in the car just as his cell rang. It was T-Bone.
"Hello?" Martin said answering.
"I need to speak to Ruthie. I keep calling her phone but Savannah keeps picking it up."
"Sorry she doesn't want to talk to you. She says that you two are over." Martin said hanging up on poor T-bone. The phone rang again. Martin sighed answering it once more.
"Excuse me?" T-bone said.
"She doesn't want you." Martin said and hung up once again.
"Who was that?" Ruthie asked as she got back into the car.
"No one." Martin replied handing her a bag of chips, "I thought you might be hungry."
"Thanks." she said and took a handful of chips.
"EW...I hate sour cream and onion." she said and handed them back to him.
"You do?" Martin asked, "I love them."
"You love all foods." she said and rolled her eyes.
"No I don't." he said, "I hate black olives."
"Oh yea!" she said and rolled her eyes, "Just take me home"
"Are you sure?" Martin asked, "You don't want to hang out a bit longer?"
"I'm sure." she said and leaned back into her seat. Martin sighed and started up his car.

Ruthie fall asleep on the way back home, so Martin genteelly nudged her awake. She walked upstairs to find T-bone sitting on her bed playing dress-up with Savannah. T-bone had a necklace and a tutu on; Savannah had her little snow-white dress on and was humming a song. Ruthie stood still for a moment and then asked, "T-Bone. What are you doing here?"
