"Y-you don't know her," He said quickly but then paused. "Ok I lied, you do know her."

Her expression changed from mad to furious. "Who!"

"Zoë…"

By now, the family, excluding Annie and Eric was standing around watching. Quiet gasps and an "Oh my God," from Lucy was heard. And so would a pin, if someone dropped it seeing as the backyard was dead silent.

Martin watched Ruthie breakdown as the females in the house, wrapped their arms around her, while the males went after Martin. The wind got knocked out of him as he got shoved against the wall. He could feel all eyes glaring at him but he didn't care. He deserved a beating, after what he had done to Ruthie.

He could feel blood running from his nose and knot his shirt. Normally, he would've

have punched them back but this time he didn't. He looked at Ruthie and saw her

watching him. He felt like a scumbag and a worthless piece of trash when the boys were done with him.

He could feel spits of rain on him but he didn't move. A few seconds pass as the rain got heavier. Tears stung his eyes as he saw Ruthie staring out the window. He quickly got up and took off.

The rain got heavier as his jeans weighed him down. He could hardly move his legs. His vision was blurry and could hardly open his eyes in this rain. His nose was bleeding and his stomach felt queasy. Before he knew it, he felt a sting on the side of his body and he blacked out.

Meanwhile back at the house

As she watched Martin take off, she felt guilty. But why? She thought to herself. He's the one that cheated on me! She backed away from the window and dumped herself on a stool. She shredded a napkin that was lying on the bench.

"Hey Ruthie,"

Ruthie didn't move.

"Are you okay?"

Silence.

"If you want to talk then just let me know okay?"

Ruthie heard footsteps go upstairs and she felt guilty again. She jumped off the stool and went upstairs to find her.

"Lucy," She said quietly as she knocked on the door. Ruthie saw her sitting on the bed, staring out the window. "I just wanted to say sorry."

"For what?" Lucy tapped the space next to her.

"Ignoring you," Ruthie said, accepting the offer. "I know you were only trying to help but I don't know if I'm okay with it."

Lucy nodded but stayed silent as Ruthie continued.

"I don't know why, but I feel guilty."

"Guilty! He's the one that cheated on you!" Lucy exclaimed.

"I know! But I can't help it." She played with her fingers for a while. "I think I love him," she added quietly.

Lucy stayed quiet. She didn't know what to say. She didn't want to make Ruthie cry again by pointing out all the things she had said she was in love with. For example, Chocolate Cake, she ate that nearly every single day for a week and now she gets sick in the stomach every time she sees it.

"I need to go find him," Ruthie said quickly and stood up before Lucy could object.

She ran outside and down the street. She could hear Lucy calling her but soon faded as she rain got even heavier. She ran and ran and ran. She almost got run over by a car backing out of a driveway but she didn't care. She continued running till she saw a faint outline of a body on the ground. As she got nearer to the figure, she gasped.

Well that's all folks. Please review and ill get another one up soon. Bye!
