and love truly hurts

i was watching reruns of 7th Heaven this Holy Week season and i was so happy to "meet" again people from my childhood. when i was in grade school, my friends including C, would discuss the events that occurred in the latest episode. i would even go to lengths to tell you that i grew up with the Camden kids. yesterday, i saw how ruthie turned into a lovely lady, with a love problem of her own. to see her hurt made me realize that she has gone a long way from being that cute little girl to a lovely young woman -- like me (ahem!).

anyway, the episodes i saw were focused on her when her love for martin, one of their former foster kid and her bestfriend, was out in the open. however, martin had a girlfriend and had gotten another pregnant. but when he broke up with his girl, everybody thought it's because she was the one pregnant. gossip flew around school but all she got was that martin broke up with his girl because of her. nasty rumor, i might add. that added to ruthie's hope of ending up with martin until later when she found out the truth -- after a lot of misunderstanding but at least, from martin himself. that devastated her and her heart broke into pieces at that moment. she cried and hated him at that moment and all martin can do was hug her close and try to take away all her pain because in fact, he loves her too (maybe just as a friend, or maybe more).

so this is supposed to be love?!

*sigh* that was really sad. i heard that later, in the final season, martin will finally confess that he loves ruthie but she will choose someone else over him. maybe she got over him after all. well, she's just sixteen and still young. but oh! how good they are together. what a shame they didn't end up with each other.
