The buzzer rang at 29A and Jack walked over to see who it was.
A nervous Peter appeared at the door.
- 'Peter, what do you want, i mean I presume Robbie, but she's not coming out today, you'll probably know why' Jack said looking serious at the young boy.
- 'Is it possible that I could have a quick word with her then maybe Jack, it's ehm, well it's kinda important' Peter asked careful not wanting to upset Jack cause he knew what consequences there could be.
Jack looked at Peter for a minute then turned to Ronnie' Ron could you ask her to come out of her room please?' Jack asked.
Ronnie walked over to Robbie's room and peeked in 'Robbie, Peter's at the door for you, he says it's important'.
Robbie took a quick glance at Ronnie then turned back to her housework 'tell him to go and to not waste my time anymore' she said a little cold.
Ronnie looked surprised not expecting this answer, she thought Robbie would jump for this chance to have a little time with Peter today cause she would be spending this day at home, just a little punishment for last nights drinking behavior.
- 'What, I can't believe this, you sure?' Ronnie asked 'what's going on Robbie, trouble in paradise ey?'
- 'Shuss mum, I'm not in the mood, and I'm not gonna talk to him alright' Robbie said 'he knows why, now can you close the door please?'.
- 'Don't you shuss me alright, I haven't forgotten that little temper you just had a couple of minutes ago, now Jack said that Peter can have a moment with you so I would take it if I were you' Ronnie said serious.
- 'I'm not interested mum, he can stand on his head for all I care, I'm not coming out!' Robbie said then grabbed her ipod and sat on the bed.
Roxy had joined Ronnie at the door to see what Robbie was taling so long to come out, she then started singing "and they called it puppylooooohhhoooohhhooove"
Robbie walked over to the door, pushed a giggling Roxy and a curious but confused Ronnie out and closed the door.
- 'I'm sorry mate, but I guess she doesn't want to talk to you, well at least not today' Jack said not understanding what seemed to be the problem with the two youngsters.
- 'What actually happened with the two of you, why is she so angry with you Pete?' Roxy asked walking up to the kitchen where Jack stood with Peter.
- 'I just need a talk with her' Peter said a little uncomfortable with Jack and Roxy looking very intimidating.
- 'Did you hurt her?' Roxy asked 'cause if you did you're mine, remember that Peter Beale!'
- 'I didn't honestly, well she thinks I did, but really no I didn't' Peter said a little louder.
- 'Rox stop!' Ronnie said 'you two ok, I mean why doesn't she want to talk to you?'
- 'She misunderstood something and ehm….well she broke off with me last night' Peter said letting his head hang down.
Ronnie pulled a caring face, pouting her lip a little at Roxy feeling sorry for Peter standing there obviously having his heart broken.
- 'And what did she misunderstood then, I mean if she broke up with you, you didn't kiss some other girl now did you Pete?' Roxy asked, defending her little sister, as much as they were at eachothers throat like all the time, the fact of someone else hurting one or the other would always get them very defensive of the other one.
- 'No it's not that, ofcourse not, I would never do that…I could never hurt her' Peter said 'I'm going then, she's going to school tomorrow right?'
- 'Yeah ofcourse sweety, you'll see her tomorrow, maybe let her cool off for today, maybe tomorrow she's ready to talk ey' Ronnie said, her arm around Peter for comfort, leading him out, she did feel sorry for him not even knowing what had been going on between the two lovebirds 'I'll have a word with her alright'.
- 'Thanks' Peter said and walked out of the door of the flat.
Ronnie closed the door and was touched by Peters heartbreak. She walked up to Robbie's bedroom.
- 'What's going on?' Ronnie asked walking in without knocking and closing the door behind her' Peter said you broke up with him, you didn't tell me, what happened last night'.
- 'Nothing mum, now can you please leave me alone' Robbie said without looking at Ronnie.
- 'Well didn't seem like nothing to me, you didn't see Peters face just now' Ronnie said.
- 'He broke a promise alright' Robbie said.
- 'He obviously came to apologize or something, or explain something, he seemed pretty heartbroken Robbie, I ehm, I think you're acting a bit cold now don't you?' Ronnie said folding her arms.
- 'Yeah well tough, he broke my heart too mum' Robbie said trying not to cry and be cold about it although she felt the same as Peter…heartbroken and hurt.
Ronnie walked up to Robbie and sat down on the bed.
- 'You wanna talk to me about it, I mean you know you can right?' Ronnie asked putting her hand on Robbie's shoulder.
Robbie was fidgeting with a pen, she didn't know whether to tell her mum or to just keep her mouth shut, if she told her it was about Peter telling Ian about the affair she would also find out that Robbie had told Peter.
- 'Is it alright if I don't tell you yet but can I have a cuddle instead mum?' Robbie asked looking at Ronnie.
- 'Aww come here sweety' Ronnie said pulling Robbie onto her lap and putting her arms around her 'it's going to be alright babe, I mean i can't imagine Peter hurting you, I mean…it's Peter right, he's definitely not his dad'.
- 'Mm' Robbie didn't say anything although she wanted to scream at Ronnie that she thought Peter was exactly like his father.

In the afternoon Ronnie, Jack, Michael and Roxy, still at the apartment, were busy talking and drinking when Robbie had told Ronnie that she would go upstairs to see Glenda and was going to watch a dvd. Only Robbie hadn't gone upstairs yet, but snuck outside instead and had been sitting on the parkbench for a while. At some point she got up and walked through the park and crossed the street standing in front of nr 55. As she opened the gardendoor to Phil and Shirley's she heard her name being screamed. She looked around and saw it was Peter running up to her.
- 'Robbie, stop, please, what are you doing?' Peter shouted.
Phil's kitchendoor opened and he welcomed his young cousin.
- 'Robbie, what do you want?' he asked then seeing Peter following Robbie.
- 'Robbie please?' Peter said almost begging her.
Robbie frowned her eyebrows and looked from Phil to Peter and back again.
- 'Well, are you in some kind of trouble?' Phil asked.
- 'Ehm…no, is ehm Ben about?' Robbie asked a little nervous.
- 'No, he's with Abi and Jay, don't know where they went, park maybe?' Phil said thinking that his cousin wasn't really interested in his sons whereabouts.
- 'Hmm, alright, then I'll go have a look over there, ehm..ta Phil' Robbie said then turned around to Peter and pushed him out of the garden.
- 'Why are you really here?' Peter asked.
- 'What do you want Peter, we're over, go home, I want nothing to do with you anymore, you grass!' Robbie said as she walked back to the little park in the middle of the square again, followed by Peter.
- 'It wasn't me Robbie, he…he has overheard us talking at the door, remember when we heard that squeak the other day, when you came at the door, it was my dad, he was listening in on our conversation, he heard everything, everything on Glenda and Phil, he even checked our chats on the laptop'.
- 'What?" Robbie asked surprised 'you're saying that he heard and read everything and used it for what, I don't understand why he would blackmail my mum with the affair, what has she done to him?'.
- 'Cause that is how pathetic my dad is, I'm ashamed to admit it, it's not always your family that is dysfunctional Robbie, he probably wants to use her, to get to Phil' Peter said wanting to walk away.
- 'You sure?' Robbie said making Peter stop.
- 'Sure about what, that it was my dad, yes I am, it wasn't me Robbie, that's what I know for sure, now if you don't believe me you go figure it out, then I suppose we're done!' Peter said walking away. He felt he said everything and now Robbie had to deal with it, think about what she thought was the truth.
- 'Pete…' Robbie said making Peter turn around.
- 'Robbie? ' Roxy said as she and Michael walked into the park 'aren't you suppose to be upstairs with mum?'
- 'Yeah, I just…Pete' Robbie said again looking at both him and then Roxy again who was waiting for an answer trying to be the older responsible sister in front of Michael.
Robbie walked over to Peter 'i ehm..i am sorry for slapping you in the face, thinking you told your dad, I'm sorry, I just thought that…' Robbie said.
Peter bit his lip then walked up to Robbie and put his arms around her 'I would never hurt you, I told you that before and I meant it, I'm nothing like my dad, you know that'.
- 'Alright kiss and make up' Roxy said walking up to the two teens 'Robbie you better get that bum upstairs alright or you'll be hearing the end of it, go on'.
- 'What, no yelling at me?' Robbie said to her sister after she gave Peter a kiss 'I'll better be going yeah, I'll see you tomorrow, I can't text cause mum has my phone'.
- 'Yeah alright, just promise me you won't do anything stupid ok' Peter said stroking through Robbie's hair then walked back to his house.
Robbie starred at Roxy and Michael who were still standing there watching the young teens make up.
- 'So ehm, what are you two up to then?' Robbie asked.
- 'We're going for a drink at the Vic alright, no go bigmouth' Roxy said 'I'll see you later Pix yeah'.
- 'Yeah alright' Robbie said then quickly walked back to the flat again. She managed to get in without being seen, then walked up the stairs, only when she got upstairs Ronnie was sitting in the livingroom with Glenda, as if they were waiting her arrival.
- 'Tell me one thing, how can I manage to get here first, when you left like more then a half hour ago?' Ronnie asked.
- 'I ehmm..i went over to see Peter and made up with him, I'm sorry for sneaking out mummy' Robbie said looking at Ronnie first then looking at Glenda who frowned not really understanding why Robbie would 've gone out to make up with the boy who grassed on the affair to his father.
Ronnie sighed 'alright, you both ok then?'
- 'Yeah' Robbie said sitting down on of the chairs at the kitchentable.
- 'Ehm, well your dad and I are going over to the Vic then probably go have some dinner at the Arghee Barghee with Roxy and Michael, I asked mum if you could have dinner here, maybe you could really watch some dvd now hmm' Ronnie said winking at Robbie.
- 'Thanks mum, yeah, so I can here for dinner then?' Robbie asked Glenda.
- 'Ehm…yeah sure darling, we'll have some take out, watch a dvd' Glenda said.
Robbie knew Glenda didn't have a clue but she was going to explain it all to her as soon as Ronnie left the flat.
- 'Alright behave you, and if you need me you call me ok?' Ronnie said standing up as Jack called her from downstairs.
- 'Mum still has my phone so…'Robbie said looking at Glenda.
- 'I'm sure if there is a problem you can use mum's phone cheeky, you'll get yours back when she thinks you deserve it alright' Ronnie said raising her eyebrow to a Robbie trying her way to get her phone back.
- 'Yeah alright you have fun then' Robbie said as she gave Ronnie a peck on the cheek.
After they heard the downstairs door close, Glenda looked very seriousat Robbie.
- 'Let me talk first ok, keep your hair on' 'Robbie said as Glenda looks gave her away that she was full of questions.
- 'Alright cause I don't understand' Glenda said.
- 'I snuck out cause I wanted to tell Phil about Ian, I ehm…I thought that if he heard what Ian was probably up to he would pay Ian a visit…maybe threaten him, scare him off, to leave you alone, that's all I wanted, I really don't care about Phil, if Shirley finds out and skins him, but ehm, I don't want you to get hurt mum, eventhough I think it was way stupid to start something with him, Phil I mean' Robbie said.
- 'Well aren't you the stubborn one, didn't I tell you that I would handle it, and didn't I tell you to drop your revenge-moods, well?' Glenda said standing up, her hands on her hips.
- 'Mum, I ran into Peter, he just turned up on time, before I said anything to Phil, and…well Peter told me that Ian had been listening into one of our conversations, we had heard something squeak inside but we saw no one, after all it was Ian having heard me telling Peter to keep quiet about the affair' Robbie said' mum, he's such a moron he also checked our chathistory on the laptop' .
- 'So Peter didn't tell him then?' Glenda asked.
- 'No, it was that sleazeball himself and he just wanted to use this for himself, maybe to blackmail you ánd Phil, or to use you to get to Phil' Robbie said.
- 'Well sounds like Ian anyway' Glenda said' so you and Peter made up?'
- 'Yeah, he told the truth after all, I should've believed him in the first place mum' Robbie said walking over to one of the cupboards 'can I have some crisps?'
- 'Yeah go on then, ehm, please promise me something my sweet little very stubborn and hardheaded puppy' Glenda said putting her arm around Robbie's shoulder.
- 'I will throw the bag away when I'm done mum, god I'm not Roxy alright' Robbie said defensive.
Glenda started laughing 'no, I wanted to tell you to stay away from Phil alright, and I really mean it this time, take it as a warning!' Glenda said 'and thanks for sticking up for me'.
- 'Well you're my mum' Robbie said 'I can't stand Phil'.
