This is Jacksons POV (although there is a lot of Aaron too so don't worry!) of the Original story in Emmerdale, although I have changed it a lot of it about too. NO CRASH!
Jackson ended the call from his mobile and placed it on his kitchen table, at first he was a little confused why a Mr Declan Macey rang him out of the blue, looking for a builder to refurbish his flat, but when the business man said it's in Emmerdale Farm, he knew Aaron had something to do with it. He thought he made his feelings perfectly clear that he wanted nothing to do with the head case teen. He really liked Aaron and cared for him but the mechanic took it a step too far, by decking him in the woolpack, he could understand why he did it though, Aaron had just came out and was still struggling with the fact he was gay, but still isn't an excuse to punch people! Declan wanted Jackson to meet him tomorrow, to look around the property for a quote, when he said dale head cottage, he knew Aaron had something to do with, as its right next door to the garage where Aaron works! The builder felt bad for the way that he acted that night in bar west, but he had to be telling off, he didn't exactly have a great time coming out either, but he didn't go around punching people! He hates Violence and doesn't want to be with someone who uses his fits when times get hard, but he had to face the music, he will have to see Aaron pretty much every day, but job is a job and Aaron will just have to get use to it! But how will he explain it to his boyfriend? Jackson has been seeing his boyfriend, Liam for almost a month now, he met him a few weeks after Aaron hit him, he was nice bloke, nothing like Aaron, he felt bad for flaunting him in front of Aaron that night, it was only a peck on the cheek, but the look on the mechanic face as he did that, really hurt him inside, why was he so bothered? He only went on a few dates with him and he barely spoke to him the whole night, so why was he hooked on him? He thought back to what Liam might think when he finds out he's working right next to the glad he fancied rotten and decked him? Jackson sighed, this is going to a mess, he thought to himself.
As the blazing sun shined through his curtains, Jackson woke, he hated waking up in the morning, and he grabbed a clean towel and headed into the bathroom. Once he was dressed, he quickly downed the rest of his tea and headed out the door. He drove into the village and head to dale head, he could see Aaron already, oh this is going to be great fun he thought to himself sarcastically. He got out the van and approached Declan Macey, at the corner of his eye he could see the blue eyed teen staring at him. They both went into house to see what needs done. Jackson and Declan head out the house and Declan asks to get a quote off the builder before they get started.
"How did you get my number?" he asked the business man
"A mate of yours, Adam Barton?" Declan replied
Jackson nodded. So someone was trying to play match maker? What did he think would happen? He started working here and all of a sudden they were going at it all over the village? As if the builder thought to himself, he's here to do a job and that is it! Jackson walks up to the teen.
"Come here often" Aaron says bitterly
"I don't know what your game is, getting your mate to put me up for this job!
"Pft, it's got nowt to do with me! Like I would wanna see you after you being a total prat to me and making me look like a Muppet in front of me mate" Aaron hisses
"Look, I'm seeing someone, alright?"
"Yeah, I could see that the other night, message received loud and clear, now ya can do one!" Jacksons words hit Aaron right in the heart, it's all his fault, he wish he never hit Jackson, he wishes he was the one kissing and touching him, but he was never going to admit that.
"Look, jobs a job, and I'm going to take, so ya better get used to it" Jackson responds.
Jackson enters the woolpack, all eyes are on him, everyone remembers from the last time he was in here, he ignored the looks and whispers and headed to the bar, once he got his pint he headed to the booth facing the bar. He was counting the figures for Declan's place when Aaron walked in, he watched him as he walked to the bar, standing next to his best mate and the vet he lived with. He looked so good, the thought to himself, he was never into the trackie look, but it worked for Aaron, why does he like him so much? He has a great thing with Liam, total opposite of Aaron, he was stall, shaggy blonde hair with hazel eyes, and he was also very sweet and so kind, everything he would want in a boyfriend, so why can't he stop thinking about the hot-headed chav? As Jackson walks towards the door of the pub, he stops for minute and gives Aaron a quick look, maybe he was too harsh on him? But he still can't forgive him for what he did, if it wasn't him he punched, it would have been someone else, does he really want to get involved with someone like that?
Jackson enters his flat in hotton, his flatmate is away to London for a lads week with his mates, he likes when he has the flat to himself, he kicked off his dirty boots and heads to the fridge for a cold bottle of beer, he then heads to the couch, as he turns the TV on, his mobile vibrates from his pocket, he has one txt message.
Hey you, how was work? Txt back. Liam x
Jackson sighed and went to his contact list, clicked on the number in front of him and pressed call; he put his phone to his ear and waited for the other person to answer.
"Hello, my lovely boy" the voice answered
"Hello, mum"
"What do I owe this pleasure?" Hazel asked
"Just wanted a chat"
"What's wrong? And don't say nothing, I know you!"
"well, I got assigned a new job, In Emmerdale" Jackson was always close to his mum, he could tell her anything and everything, she done his head in most of time but he always felt comfortable talking to her.
"The place where that Pratt who decked you lives?" Hazel now angry
"And its right next to where he works" Jackson sighs
"Are you going to take it?" his mother asks.
"I already did"
"Mmhmm"
"What?"
"Something tells me you're not over the hot headed Pratt"
"Mum, we only went on a few dates and most of it was all drama"
"Well, he's young and still is struggling with who he is"
"Yeah I know" Jackson sighs
"Wish I was there now, I love a good love triangle me" Hazel laughs
"Oh shut it you"
But was his mother right? He did still like the blue eyed teen, there was something about him, and they connected in a way that he's never felt before. He said his goodbyes to his mum and headed to the bathroom. Once he was showered and ready for bed, he picked up his mobile and stared at Liam's txt before he sent a reply,
Hey, work was alright, going to bed now. Night x
He presses the send button and crawls into bed, lying awake, he thinks about what is mum said and seeing Aaron today, he didn't want to hurt Liam, he was a good bloke, and he would just need to stay clear of the blue eyed boy who he can't seem to get of his mind.
