AARON LIVESY

-The Chase-

"Luck"

Hi guys! one of my previous fics 'Aaron Livesy: One Year' has been bugging the hell out of me for quite some time, "Do a follow up, just do one!" So I am and I hope you all like it, also the start of a new fic :) x

Aaron smiled as he looked up at the pyramid in complete awe. Hazel smirked as she turned and looked at him. "Told you there was a whole world out there" she said and Aaron turned to her and chuckled.

"Yeah you did, why has it taken us a month to come see this?" he asked.

Hazel laughed. "Because we preferred the beach and the pool over going on a trip" she explained.

Aaron raised his eyebrows and nodded. "Yeah, we couldn't drag ourselves away could we?" he said with a laugh. "But I'm glad we're here now, even if it is a month late"

"Yeah I mentioned this in the pub just before we left for the airport if I remember rightly? And in my defence we didn't get to Cyprus until two weeks ago"

Aaron nodded as he looked back up at the pyramid.

"Going inside then love?"

"Oh yes" Aaron said with a grin and they both started heading to the entrance.

As they both walked into a chamber inside the pyramid Hazel stopped and watched Aaron, he was curious, very curious, she couldn't remember seeing him quite like that before. It was beautiful to watch as he roamed around looking at the artefacts and markings on the walls. "Have you thought about going back yet?" she asked as she walked over to him.

Aaron turned to her and shrugged.

"You did say this break would be for a couple of weeks"

"Yeah I know and I did pay for our hotel"

Hazel sighed. "I know that love and I'm grateful I am, but what about Flynn? You're two weeks over due"

Aaron let out a deep breath and nodded.

"What's stopping you?"

Aaron blew out a deep breath. "I-I…I dunno…Scared of what might happen, that it won't work"

"Or that it will?"

Aaron frowned "What do you mean?"

"I mean exactly what I said; you're really just scared that it will work. Jackson is still in your head and heart"

"Of course he is"

"Aaron if you go back and fall head over heels in love with him it won't mean you'll forget Jackson, it's silly to even worry that you'll forget, how could anyone forget him eh? Even your mum visits his grave" she chuckled.

Aaron chuckled and nodded his head. "Do you remember what I said when you left? It's not about forgetting that he'll always be a big part of my life" Hazel nodded as she remembered. "But someone else, Flynn even-" Aaron sighed. "It might feel wrong, weird even"

"Jackson would want you to be happy Aaron, you got with Ed and yes, granted look what happened there, he beat you and raped you a few times from what you've said and it's taken you weeks to recover, we came abroad initially until the whole business over Ed with the police died down, I think it will have now. I only think you're saying it will be wrong cause actually you know Flynn might be right for you"

"And what if I mess it up?"

"Well, being thousands of miles away from him won't give you your answer, try Aaron you'll never know unless you do"

Aaron nodded with a smile, and then looked around the chamber as a crowd of other visitors pass by. "SO, what's that then?"

"A sarcophagus" She told him with a smile.

"And there's a mummy in there right?"

Hazel laughed "Yes, and don't go waking any up you got it?"

Aaron laughed as he headed over to have a look, once there he caught Hazel's attention and gave it a gentle kick with his foot. Hazel rolled her eyes at him and shook her head. Aaron shrugged. "Nope, nothing"

Later that day on the boat back to Cyprus Aaron flung himself on the bed. "Glad to be rid of those armed guards" he said with a sigh.

"Yeah, it's a bit off putting but it kept us safe in the end" Hazel said with a smile. "I'm glad this boat trip is only overnight, still there's a bonus…gives you time to make your decision"

Aaron lifted himself up onto his elbow. "I know what you're doing"

"Flynn could be your chance at being happy again Aaron and you deserve it"

"I know"

"Well then" Hazel smiled.

"Alright" he sighed. "We go back"

"Not exactly" Hazel began and looked him in the eye. "I'm not coming with you"

"What? Why?"

"Before I came to Emmerdale this is what I did Aaron, travelled. You have to back alone and try with Flynn, you don't need me hanging around and by the looks of it Dale head isn't home anymore, I-I'm sure Bob would be more than happy to find room for me but I'm done there now"

"Ah Hazel" he said sadly.

"I'll come back and visit but it's like you said last time…we'll remind each other of what we lost and that might hinder your progress with Flynn"

"Don't be daft" he scoffed.

"Aaron, I'm staying abroad, you are like a son to me but we have too, like I say I'll still visit"

Aaron nodded and smiled slightly. "I'll miss you though; this past month with you has been amazing"

Hazel smiled. "I'll miss you too Aaron"

….

A few days later a very healthy tanned Aaron walked out of the airport into the freezing cold British weather with his bag over his shoulder. He placed his fake passport into his jacket pocket and walked to the taxi rank. "Emmerdale please" he told the driver as he got in. He watched as the town slowly started to become sparse and the countryside come more evident as he was driven to Emmerdale. Once the taxi turned into the village Aaron told him to stop outside the pub; quickly he paid the driver and got out. As the taxi drove away he stood looking up at the pub. "She's gunna kill me" he grumbled as he took the step forward to the doors.

It was busy with the lunchtime rush when he entered the pub, he averted looking at the bar and tried to slyly slip in, but of course his mother was Chas Dingle nothing went unnoticed. "Oh remembered you had a home did ya?!" she called over the bar.

"Oops, someone's in trouble" David told him with a smirk to which Aaron simply scowled in response.

"I liked it out there" Aaron said with a shrug. "Sorry"

"Well a phone call might have been nice, oh and Flynn was ringing all last week asking if you were back, said he couldn't get through to your mobile…"

Aaron nodded. "Alright, well I'll call him" he told her as he walked round the back of the bar.

"Thing is, those calls stopped as of Monday it's now Saturday…"

David sniggered and Aaron just glared at him. "Flynn your new boyfriend then?"

Aaron sighed, had Flynn lost hope? It certainly sounded like it. "I don't know, will everyone stop badgering me please I've been travelling for hours, gimme a minute!" he rolled his eyes and stormed off into the back room.

"Kids eh?" Chas said to David with a shrug of her shoulders.

"Wouldn't know, I think I got lucky with Jacob, he's just young but Aaron" David sighed. "He's a man, I-I don't know how you cope" he smirked.

"Wanna swap for a day?"

David let out a laugh. "Ha! No chance"

"Another pint?" she asked with a smile.

"Yeah go on then"

A few minutes later Aaron walked back into the bar. "I'm going out"

"Where? Have you even unpacked yet?"

"What does it matter? I'm going to see Flynn" he told her with a grin. "We left it on a kiss so…"

"Well good luck then…"

"I don't think I'm gunna need luck" he told her with a massive grin then quickly left the pub.

…

"Okay here goes" Aaron prepared himself as he stepped up to Flynn's house and knocked on it. He waited nervously and his nerves just increased when the door began to open, he smiled slightly at seeing him. "Hi…"

Flynn wasn't impressed. "I don't want to see you"

Aaron frowned. "Flynn come on please, let me explain"

Flynn shook his head. "I'm not interested Aaron, I waited those two weeks, two weeks which you told me was all it would be…that kiss meant nothing really did it? And now I want nothing to do with you so get out my face" he told him and quickly shut the door.

Aaron frowned as he stepped away. Okay I suppose I deserved that he thought to himself, as he walked off he stopped and looked back at the house and saw Flynn watching from the living room window, but when he realised Aaron had seen him he turned away.

Aaron sighed, seeing him again brought out a feeling from within, a feeling that had long been dormant, and not one he felt with Ed in the beginning and was never bound to have felt because of the horrific things he'd done to him. The last time he felt the way he did was with Jackson, a feeling of wanting someone, of caring about them, a severe attraction. He shook his head lightly his mum was right. "Ok I do need luck"
