Martin just stood there I awe c'mon say something, she's just poured her heart out to you and you're just standing there. He knew his conscious was right; he sat beside, tucking the hair from her face behind her ear, and whispered " There's no need to be scared, I will always be here for you, I promise" she looked at him and smiled "I love you."
"I love you too"
"Martin…?"
"Yeah?"
"Can you do me a favour?"
"Anything for you" he smiled at Ruthie.
"Can I be on my own for a bit?"
"Okay, but May I ask why?"
"Because my heart tells me that I love you, I just need to convince my head"
"I understand, I'll call you later" he got up and kissed her lightly on the forehead before leaving her room, she threw herself onto her bed, staring at the ceiling, when she heard someone coming up the staires I thought I told him to leave me alone she rolled over and buried her face in her pillow
"Hey Rue can I come in?"
"Oh it's only you, come in" her voice muffled by the pillow
"Who did you think I was?" she sat up to face her glowing and heavily pregnant sister
"Martin"
"Oh."
"Can I ask you why you're here Luce?"
"Martin"
"Why we are just fine?"
"It's obvious that you two are a little more than 'fine'!"
"He told me he loves me."
"It was only a matter of time"
"You knew he felt this way?!"
"Everyone did, and we all knew you felt the same, even whilst you were dating that – err what's his name… James... Jake… Jack that's the one. Come on fill me in on the gossip!!!"
"Well he told left me a note saying he loved me and that because I didn't feel the same way it was better that we go our separate ways…"
"Wait but you do love him don't you?!" Lucy interrupted
"Let me finish will you. Then Mac and Martin turned up just as I read it, Mac took it room my hands and Martin made a quick exit. Then I gave Mac this huge speech about how I've loved martin since I first saw him and he over heard. And trust me, the water works came on, I ran upstairs and then gave him a massive lecture on how I've always wanted my prince charming, which I told him, was him."
"So, what's the problem?"
"I just need to convince myself that being in a relationship with him is the right thing" Lucy sighed and sat down beside her sister noticing her eyes were welling up once more, she put her arm around her reassuringly-
"He's your first love. The only boy you've ever really fallen for and you know that it's true love. It's none of the silly immaturelove that people claim they do after a couple of weeks of dating, you've got honesty and loyalty; you fight and yet you still love because you both know what you want. You both know that you were meant for each other so you wouldn't want to mess things up. No matter how many times you'll fight, you know deep down that you could never truly be mad at them. To think that he was out of your life before is just simply amazing how you ever lived before at all. Not a day goes by without you constantly thinking about him and it scares the hell out of you to think, "If I'm so in love with this one person, this person that I love with everything I have, how do other people move on & love another?" You're so emotionally attached to this boy that you're so scared to loose him. This boy taught you the real meaning of love and you never thought you had love in you until he came along and showed you. You never knew what the meaning of jealousy was until every time he mentioned a girl, it made you want to make sure that you were the best thing he has. Everything you've dreamt up of a perfect boy was nothing compared to what this boy has because it made you see that not everything you want is everything you need. You'll never forget the boy that changed your whole life because he's your best friend & the love of your life. Am I right?"
Ruthie was surprised that everything her sister had just said was so true and how she knew it all, "Ruthie I know what you're thinking, I had the exact same problem with Kevin, I was scared that if I started dating him that he would get bored or I would be too clingy or he'd find someone better than me, but I had to take that chance because what would I have regretted more? Letting the love of my life go and leading a life of sloppy seconds? Or taking the risk and giving him a chance?"
She knew Lucy was right, she didn't want to loose Martin, she was ready, ready to finally put her heart on the line.
