Sorry for the delay. Recap: Eric decides to have a family meeting. The first part of the meeting T-bone tells Martin how he really feels about him. What will happen when Ruthie and Jane get their turn? Read and you'll find out

(Opening Scene)

"I can't believe what T-bone just said about Martin, he had no right to say that to him" Ruthie just looked at T-bone, as Jane and him whispered in each other ears. T-bone hadn't talked to Ruthie in two weeks but he could sit right in front of her and talk to Jane.

"T-bone can we talk?" The wide-eyed girl asked. T-bone shrugged his shoulders and got up from his seat.

Walking out the backdoor to where they both sat on the bench. T-bone didn't even look at Ruthie; he acted like she wasn't even there.

"T-bone I've been meaning to tell you something"

T-bone didn't answer at first but than he responded with "I have something to tell you too"

Ruthie began to wonder about what T-bone had to tell her.

"Well I guess I'll go first," Ruthie's mouth began to get really dry she couldn't even swallow. But she was going to say what she had been meaning to say for the last two weeks.

"T-bone I have been wanting to tell you that, I'm sorry for the way I treated you in the past because I did change. When you got back from being with your dad you acted like, I wasn't even really there. I mean yeah at first you paid attention to me than you started to lie and I hate lies" Tears began to fall down from Ruthie's eyes as she was telling how she felt. Ruthie promised herself she would stop running away from her problems and deal with them. So she continued. "I believe that you don't love me anymore. I mean did I do anything wrong? I was wrong for the way I acted in the past and I am truly sorry. I believe someday that we will get married but if you don't believe that, than why should I waste my time believing it. If you leave me my heart will be broken all over again. I just want to let you know you don't have to stay with me because you're afraid my mom and dad will hate you or something. They won't and if you knew them the way you say you do than you would've known that."

Tears was falling fast from Ruthie's eyes, T-bone just sat there like he didn't even care.

Soon as T-bone opened his mouth to talk Mr. Camden came out shouting "Breaks over time to continue the family meeting!"

T-bone got up with out even looking at Ruthie. Ruthie got up behind him wiping the tears that were falling down her face.

(Scene 1)

The meeting began, Martin was now sitting on the floor next to Mac. Margaret was sitting by Ruthie on the couch behind Mac and Martin. Jane and T-bone were sitting on the coach across from them. Anne went across the street to check on the kids.

" Now we are going to talk about friendship"

"Friendship" Everybody said to themselves.

"I chose to talk about friendship because I feel that it's a big part of life" Mr. Camden stated. "So I though we can start with Jane and Ruthie. Jane I want you to tell Ruthie anything you wanted to tell her that you haven't told her yet."

Jane took a death breath "Um I guess I would start with that I do think of Ruthie as a friend. I feel that she's the kind of friend that would tell you anything that's about you, like someone cheating on you. But I do feel that's she a brat and she take a lot of things for granted. She thinks everything's about her when it's not."

Ruthie's eyes began to open wider and wider as Jane was saying what she said.

"Okay sweetheart your turn"

Ruthie looked at Jane right in the eyes as she began to speak "I couldn't actually say Jane is my friend. I mean we never hung out or anything just said hi and bye to each other. I can say that I am a brat and I did take things for granted but I'm learning how to control that. But I'm not going to change me being a brat because that's me, that's what I'm known for, and I'm not going to change that because some people don't like it. Me being a brat is what makes me, me and if anybody doesn't like that then that's their problem. I do not think everything's about me, the only thing I ask for in this world is to be loved but I see I can't even do that without someone ruining it."

"And what does that mean " Jane's attention was now on the girl sitting across from her "Ruthie if you have something to say to me then say it"

"Fine I will, I think T-bone and you are more then friends"

(Scene 2)

Sandy and Lucy watched as the kids played out side in Lucy and Kevin's backyard. Lucy wasn't due for 2 monts and she could feel the baby kicking. Not knowing the sex of the baby just hoping it's healthy.

Sandy began to cry out of know where.

"Sandy what's wrong" The pregnant girl sitting next to her asked

"I miss him so much"

"You miss who?"

"Jonathan he just left with that girl with out even an explanation, how could he do this to me? I loved him and he said he loved me. I couldn't be any stupider"

"Sandy think of it this way, it was a sign from god saying you deserve better because if he didn't do it now he would of done it later."

"I guess I can think of it that way. Thanks Luce you always make me feel better"

Aaron came running to Sandy crying because he fell. Sandy picked Aaron up and took him in the house.

Savannah followed behind them.

(Scene 3)- Back at the Camden's

Jane and Ruthie were screaming back and forth at each other. They wanted to kill each other the only thing stopping them was Mac and Martin standing between them. Mr. Camden just sat there this time and watched. He decided he would just watch and see what happens.

"I hate you…"

"I hate you too.."

"You two faced"

They were yelling at each other all kinds of words, not noticing the look Mr. Camden had on his face. As the two girl continued to scream Mr. Camden started to hold his chest.

"That's why T-bone doesn't love you anymore"

Ruthie froze nothing else came out of her mouth as the tears came down her eyes.

Everybody was quite "Boom!" was the last sound as Ruthie ran to her dad.
