Okay, it's official. Now I know that Ruth is a conniving, gold-digging bitch. She's digging up dirt on Reid??????? Evidently, this woman wants money and a lot of it.

Luke and Reid appear to be on semi-shaky ground at the moment. I hope those tremors cease to exist soon.

Great chapter.

Ruth wants the money!

Luke and Reid are definitely not that stable but they'll work at it.

Thanks!

Wow!!! You have created an incredible villainess in Ruth!! She scares me!

I can't wait to find out what else she has on Reid!!

I loved the "How am I not honest" line!

Very interesting chapter!

[sleeper6]

Yeah, Ruth might be too bad, though, judging from the different reactions here but I like writing her, what can I say?

Thank you so much for reading again!

[rtruffles]

I don't think she's too bad at all. Reid and Luke are so perfect together, they need a challenge.

You really are doing an amazing job with this story!!

I'm back to the idea of sending Ruth to another planet!

Hopefully Luke will see past her manipulations. Reid is being honest -- now Luke has to face reality that some people aren't honest.

Great chapter!

[sleeper6]

Ruth will be gone one day. Can't say when. :)

Yes, Luke does need to face reality.

Thank you very much for reading!

Oh good lord...make it stop!

No...wait...don't. It's just too good.

[sleeper6]

Thank you! And I ain't stopping it yet! :)

uggggggh luuuuuuke!!!

*smacks luke*

First of all, ruth is seriously worse than noah, mmmkay? I think we need to establish that. Lmao

Second- omg, luke is a moron. If *I* were reid??? Oooooh my god, I would have said "ok. Go see noah" -- I mean, at THIS point, I would let luke make his own mistakes instead of trying to stop him. In a way...noah is a drug. When he needs help, luke comes a-running. And even when luke tries to stop, he never really does. He ends up going back. So yeah, there comes a time where I would be tired of fighting about it and just be like "alright, do what ya wanna do." And leave it at that. Or, or and this may be harsh...I'd give luke an ultimatum: help noah and let your guilt take over or choose me (reid) I mean, hey...he needs a wake-up call. Maybe he needs to lose reid for a while. I knowwwww, it is harsh....but yeah.

God, this story has me so passionate! I love it. Oh, and...*smacks luke* *kicks ruth down stairs* lmao

No, I agree with you. Luke is an idiot: first for believing Ruth, second for having to always run back when Noah beckons (he's like a friggin' dog) and third, for demanding that Reid should have told him about Noah's drug use, something Noah told him in doctor/patient confidentiality.

I think you're right...Reid should tell Luke to get lost right now and do whatever the hell he wants. Fighting with him is futile.

The sad thing is this is how the show wrote luke. I admit I liked luke as a character, but I didn't love him. I hate how the show wrote him. Even rooftop!luke didn't impress me as much. *sigh* I just find it sad when people let others take advantage of them. I find it even MORE sad when people realize it and don't stop it. that's luke snyder for ya. :-/

Re: uggggggh luuuuuuke!!!

[sleeper6]

Yeah, I hated how the show wrote him too at times. And I have to write him like that in some of this fic (IC and all that) but my Luke will hopefully be better at the end of this fic once he puts his past (and past behavior) behind him once and for all.
