Sorry it's been so long since I've updated this one! With school, family problems and what not it's been hard to update all of my fics. Sorry for all my spelling mistakes i'm a fast typer! I also said a twist? its not really a twist come to think of it LOL!Anyway seeming as I left you in a bit of a cliff-hanger the last chapter, enjoy!

"Peter, is that you!? What are you doing here?" she stepped back taking a good look at him, his once blonde hair was now a mousey brown, his physic went form scrawny boy to a muscular young man "Wow, You look …great!"

"Ruthie!" he opened up his arms, she accepted as they shared a friendly hug "So do you, wow you've grown, not much but you've grown! Do I need a reason to come and see one of my oldest friends?!!?"

"Thanks, I guess not, come on in, everyone will be ecstatic to see you!" She ushered Peter in her following, not realising that someone else had been watching the whole event- Martin. Of course he brushed off the thought that it could be just an innocent gathering and jumped to the conclusion that they were a little more than friends, and if not that they would be. He sat there on the curb wallowing I his own self pity.

Metres away inside the Camden house Peter and Ruthie sat in the living room on the sofa catching up, It had been well over four years since the pair had seen each other last. She had a sudden itch on her leg, as she rolled up her sweats, to relieve the itchiness it revealed the scar from her accidents months before, which automatically caught Peter's attention.

"Ruthie!! How the hell did you get that?" pointing to the scar

"Long story..."

"Well I'm in no rush..."

"Nothing big really, you know the usual… get caught in a hurricane most of a tree falls on you..."

"What were you doing in the middle of a hurricane!?"

"Kind of Running away…"

"From?"

"Martin Brewer"

"You mean baseball-player,-dad's- in-the-marine's Martin?" she nodded "What did he do to you? Did he hurt you? Because I'm not lanky anymore, I can kick his ass if I wanted to. I could do it now if you want. He's only over the road."

Ruthie looked at Peter confused, no he wasn't. he's back in Florida, maybe he just thought it was martin or that he still lived over the road? "Err Peter I'm sure you could, but Martin is in Florida."

"Ruthie he's not. I saw him a few minutes before I knocked on your door round the corner and I must say he looked a bit worse for wear..."

Ruthie just sank into the sofa and muttered quietly and pinched the bridge of her nose "he's come back" she quickly shot up off the sofa and grabbed the nearest jacket and shoes insight.

"Ruthie where are you going…?"

"I'll be back soon. Make yourself at home, I'm sure Sam and David would love for you to play with them, sorry for this!"

She raced for the door, slamming it after herself; she walked down the driveway looking from right to left to see if he was around. Her heart began to race, whilst her belly was tying itself into knots. As she reached the end of the drive way she saw him, head in his lap, on the curb. She quietly walked up to Martin, not wanting to startle him. She sat beside him.

"Hey" she said quietly

"Hey"

"What are you doing here?"

"I came back for you, but it looks like you have already moved on."

"What?! What gave you that impression?"

"The tall, muscular guy who you were hugging at your door earlier."

"Peter petrowski?"

"No, the muscular, brown haired guy."

"Peter Petrowski."

"Peter's a blonde lanky sod."

"Not anymore that was Peter at the door and is currently sitting on my sofa."

"He's been hitting the gym."

"Yeah. There's nothing going on between me and him, you should stop thinking the worst of me. He just came to say hi that's all, I told you I would wait for you and not a moment more, not a moment less."

He looked up now making full eye contact with her "I'm sorry I was a jerk, that I didn't tell you the truth about Meredith, that I have put you through so much pain in the past. I would never intentionally hurt you, you know that right? I haven't stopped thinking about you, I've been miserable without you. I've realised how much I need you. So if you're still interested…"

"You know I am that I always have been. But Martin I mean what I said, I'm not going to have my heart broken again, otherwise I'm gone, for good. C'mon lets head inside, we have got company after all" he flashed her one of his famous smiles as the both got to their feet, as Martin wrapped his arm around Ruthie she felt safer then she had in months.

Okay it was a short chapter but I just wanted to get the whole "martin you must change" thing out the way! So keep reviewing and I'll keep updating. and there will be more drama in upcoming chapters,
