Chapter 1
Aaron Livesy sighed contently as he lay back on the sofa with a can of beer in his home of Smithy Cottage which he shared with his guardian, Paddy Kirk. He'd had a tough day at the garage fixing up the Ford Fiesta he had bought with intent of selling it on. He had got some stick from his work colleagues, Cain Dingle and Ryan Lamb for having bought the car against their advice. Even his boyfriend, Jackson Walsh joined in on the fun. He sighed again and relaxed further into the soft fluffy cushions. The phone rang loudly in the hallway, tearing Aaron from his daydreams. "Paddy! Paddy answer the phone!" The phone continued ringing and Aaron did his ever famous eye-roll and hauled himself off the sofa.
"Hello?"
"Hello is this Aaron Livesy, Gordon Livesy's son?"
"Yeah speaking."
"I'm Doctor Sharma calling from Hotten General. I'm afraid I have some bad news…."
The hospital doors swung open and Aaron and Paddy rushed through the busy waiting room, approaching the reception desk. "Hi I'm here to see Dr. Sharma, I just receive a phone call from him?"
The blonde lady behind the desk looked up at him over her glasses.
"And you are?"
"Aaron Livesy."
The lady nodded and called the doctor. Aaron turned to Paddy, tears streaming down his face "Please tell me this is a dream, This can't be happening to me!"
"I'm so sorry, Aaron." Paddy soothed, pulling his sobbing lodger into a hug.
"What the hell am I going to tell Mum?"
"You'll think of something when the time is right." Paddy smiled, placing a reassuring hand on Aaron's shoulder.
"They can't be dead Paddy…They just can't be!"
Doctor Sharma arrived looking serious, he held out his hand, which Aaron shook. "Aaron Livesy?"
"Yeah.." Aaron sniffed
"I'm terribly sorry for your loss."
"What happened? Dad's normally so careful."
"A drunk driver jumped a red light. There was no way it could have been avoided. The drunk died on impact, as did your Father and Mother."
Aaron continued to follow the doctor, who led him to a children's ward. "Luckily your brother, Daniel, survived."
Aaron stopped dead in his tracks. "My brother?"
"You don't know you have a brother?"
"No. I had an argument with my Dad a few years back, He's never been in touch since."
"I'm sorry to hear that. You will however need to introduce yourself. You may find you have no choice but to take him in. Providing you are over 18?"
"Yeah, I'm 18, but there's no-one else? I mean don't get me wrong, but isn't there anyone older who could take care of him?"
"Sadly not, If you don't take him in, We'll have no choice but to let social services put him into care."
