Thank you for all the people who read and reviewed my story. Your helpful criticism is much appreciated as I need to know what helps make a better story . And I would like to apologise for last chapter's punctuation and I'm sorry if the pace was a bit to fast but thanks to you wonderful reviewers/readers I can learn from my mistakes!

I don't own doc martin in anyway. I wish I could buy it but I doubt that £9.25 is enough :/ Fingers crossed the birthday fairy might give doc martin to me!

Also Madmother2 I would be honoured if you want to be my beta, thank you!

Also I am very sorry for not getting a new chapter up sooner! I got confused on how to upload a new chapter :L At least that problem is out of the way! :L

Enough of my babble, enjoy chapter 2! :)

Chapter 2 - Good old Aunty Joan.

As the kettle whistled Martin thought about the harsh words spoken but being Martin he refused to acknowledge that he had been insensitive. He thought he had been right just like he "always" was!

As Martin sat in his small but traditional kitchen smirking. He sat in deep thought, drinking not weak tea but not strong Joan popped her head round the door with her usual words of "only me" two short words but cheerful and comforting words and said Martin I have just seen Louisa and she looked distraught. What have you done this time Marty?

I have not done anything that is an outrageous assumption! Bellowed Martin.

Marty I think you should perhaps go and apologise because lets face it martin your not always the most friendly I mean sometimes your definition of family isn't always in the dictionary! Said Joan in a comforting tone.

Aunty Joan, did you know she's pregnant and she hadn't even had the decency to phone me but of course she had the bloody decency to give me an unnecessary letter on what would have been our wedding day? Said Martin fuming.

Well Marty we all do questionable things because were human and we make mistakes. Now I think you need to apologise before you do something you'll regret for the rest of your life. Said Joan in a wise voice

All right, all right I shall go and talk to her now. Said martin

He stormed around the village in his usual manner of I'm better than you. It was a normal day with him seeing those dogs such vile creatures and the those horrible gossipy girls shouting tosser and there usual crap.

He reached number 31 white rose cottage, he rang the bell, jumping from one foot to the other, sweat dripping down his back and an urge to be sick he just wanted to make a run for it but then he saw figure approaching him…

NOOO it just couldn't be! Thought Martin.

Never would he listen to Joan ever ever ever ev…. His thoughts were rudely interrupted by a certain someone opening the door.

"Hello Martin!" thank you for saving my life. God this is a beautiful day the sun, the bunny rabbit's the smell of fresh air. It's just too wonderful!

"Yep" thought Martin this was none other than Mr Danny steel himself.

"Yes well hello but is Louisa in?" asked martin tempted to beat Danny over the head with his sunshine.

"Lou?" She's upstairs packing.

"Well why would "Lou" be packing?" questioned Martin

"Did you not hear that me and Lou are moving to London?"

"London?" Like London with the big eye, the tour buses, Madame Tussauds and where the great fire of London happened. That London?" Martin said gobsmacked.

Well I'm not aware of any other London. Said Danny in a cheery voice

Well that's cause you're an idiot. Said Martin

I'll take that as a compliment. Said Danny in a slightly less cheery voice.

"Danny?" who's at the door? Said a voice from upstairs.

No-one Lou.

Danny I know when your lying she started laughing but her laugh was cut of when she saw martin standing there.

Louisa…

Save it martin!

Look Louisa I apologise for my rude behaviour yesterday it was childish among other things and I know you hate me but to replace me with this idiot?

Whoops! I've done it again thought martin to himself.

Martin how dare you say that about Danny I told you to just leave me alone! ranted Louisa.

When are you moving to "London" he sneered.

In two days martin and also you really can't help yourself can you? Said Louisa with slight sadness

Well Louisa I think your being unreasonable!

Good-bye martin she said slamming the door in his face.

That night Louisa tossed and turned with a tear-stained face.

Martin never felt more alone and sat drinking the night away.

Morning finally came with a hang-over and tears.

He arrived and got pretty much the same response as the previous day.

She was going weather he liked it or not!

Martin remembered the last time he drank he fell asleep and then accused Louisa of being delusion. He was a horrible person through and through . What had he done?

The next day came and he was looking through his drawers and discovered Louisa's hang-over cure she had given him and he decided to go and beg her to come back.

He ran as fast as he could all the way to her house.

About to ring the door-bell he discovered a note.

Martin Ellingham

How I wish you understood the true meaning of love. For you are my best friend and my worst enemy. We sting each other with harsh words, I may forget your harsh words but there engraved in my heart forever. We have different views on everything and each day is a new fight.

This is way I knew we couldn't be together so for now I will say goodbye.

Louisa

Maybe he hadn't been right after all… hco9821R
