There was an awkward pause as Ruthie looked straight at martin, her vision blurred by the tears she was so desperately trying to hold back, he looked down at her hand noticing she was clutching the note "So you read it then?" he said quietly, he couldn't look at her in the eye, he automatically wanted to take back every word he had said in that letter, just so things would go back to what they were previously like.Not knowing what the hell was going on Mac approached Ruthie and snatched the piece of paper to have a look for himself, Martin turned towards the door to make a quit exited before anything was said, when Mac grabbed him by the shoulder and whispered to him "Hang in there mate, trust me, its gunna happen its just a matter of when and where." And with that Martin scurried off head in hands. She no longer cared who was around her to witness the tears fall from her hazel eyes, Mac pulled here into a hug, mumbling into his chest "Just as I get over one hurdle, another's replaced it, Mac; I've just lost my best friend." He pulled her away from his and looked wiped the tears from her eyes "I may not be the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree, but I know one thing." She looked at him dazed and rather confused still sniffling she replied "And what's that?"
"That you two are soul mates. I mean c'mon Ruthie I've seen the way you two look at each other, you both are always talking about one another, and you bicker like an old married couple, If that's not saying something I don't know what is."
"Well it's obvious he wants nothing more of me."
"Ruthie don't you see, he's crazy for you. Can you imagine how it feels to love someone so much and for them to not love you back? He doesn't want to say goodbye to you Ruthie, but it kills him inside. Look it even says in this letter, "I'm always here for you Ruthie; I'm only a call away, but just as martin brewer, some guy." He will always be there for you Ruthie, and so will I, but you've got to ask yourself this now, and ask yourself honestly, don't let your head do the thinking, let your heart. How do you feel towards Martin?"
she grabbed a stool and sat down her head was over flowing with different emotions "who hasn't had a thing for martin brewer in the past, look at him!"
"Well I haven't."
"Not my point Mac let me finish." Martin was sitting in the backyard trying to figure out what to do next, he wasn't going to give up that easily, a gust of determination came to him, he started walking towards the back door where he could hear his two best friend's conversation, he didn't want to interrupt but instead began to listen intensely. Mac nodded at Ruthie as an indication to continue "The first time I saw him my jaw dropped to the floor, its not everyday someone that good-looking walks into your life, then he started talking to me, I was the envy of all my friends, EVERYONE including me had a crush on him, we spent more and more time together and I never thought of him as the good looking jock who everyone fancied, but as Martin brewer, my best friend. They say you will always have a thing for your first love. God I never knew I loved him until about a year ago, but I couldn't jeopardise my friendship with him and tell him how I feel. I cried myself to sleep every night, he was constantly on my mind, and I didn't want him to start wondering what was up with me, so I moved on, on to jack. I didn't even like him! He was just a pretty face and an excuse to get my mind off of Martin. Then one night I saw Martin with his arms wrapped around some blonde, I died inside, I called up jack and he took me to a party to get my mind off of it, I got wrecked and ended up making the biggest mistake of my life. Sleeping with him. And you know what? He dumped me the next day. And the icing on the cake, martin finally admits he loves me, Martin Brewer loves me, me, Ruthie Camden, Preachers kid, Two years younger then himself, Ruthie Camden. Words I had been waiting for, for so long, so does that answer your question?"
Martin and Mac were both stunned by what she had just said, "I guess it does, so what now?"
"You tell me, I can't just go up to him and say 'hey martin sorry I shut you out and slept with someone on your team to get you out of my head, and that I'm madly in love with you'"
Just then martin came through the back door "how much did you hear?" He looked at her straight in the eyes and said "Everything."
