Blast From The Past
It's been 1 year since the accident and Ste is already getting used everything again. He suffered a really bad accident and got diagnosed with amnesia so he's still finding it really hard to remember things. Amy is the mother of Ste's kids whom he still finds so hard to believe because one thing he didn't forget about himself was his sexuality and he certainly didn't find Amy attractive when he first saw her, he was too busy looking at the nurse. The first day he woke up in the hospital he had a panic attack because he had no clue who Amy was. Thought she was some mad woman holding his hand. But when Ste got used to her he started to realise he must of went out with her – even had kids with her – because she's very sassy yet polite and she's beautiful.
Ste was walking down the stairs to get breakfast when he saw Amy sitting on the table eating her food. "Is there any more of that going by any chance... err.."
"Amy"
"that's the one sorry, is there any..." Amy interrupted him before he could finish his sentence.
"your food is in the microwave, knew you'd get up late so."
"ok thanks.. Amy.. haha nearly forgot your name again" Ste replied whilst walking to the microwave to get his food.
Amy has to keep reminding him of what her name is. When he first woke up and had that panic attack, she got really scared and upset, she had no idea what was wrong with him so when the doctors told her he has amnesia she then understood why he went crazy.
Amy was brought out of her thoughts when Ste said, "I'm just gonna pop out for a bit yeah"
"Wait where you going? Are you sure you want to go out in that weather and you know with your condition and everything." Amy said.
"No it's fine. I'm just popping to the shops" Ste explains.
"Well do you want me to come with you?" Amy asks.
"No Amy I'm fine honestly, you just finish your food ok"
"Woah wait... you haven't... finished. your. food." Amy sadly says to the closed door that Ste just rushed out of.
...
Ste was walking down the street when he bumped into someone making them drop their coffee.
"Aaaahh watch it" the guy angrily states.
"I'm so sorry, lemme get you another one" Ste asked.
"No it's fine don't wo... Ste oh my gosh how are you, you haven't changed much." the guy exclaimed finally looking up. Ste looked at him as if he was crazy and said, "sorry do I know you."
the guy looked at him with a confused face and replied, "err it's me, Justin, your best friend" Justin opened his arms as if to say 'how could you forget me'. Ste looked him again with the same expression and started walking off saying, "what are a stalker or something, I don't know you so back off yeah."
"Ste wait.. it's me Justin, Ste please hold on." Justin grabbed his arm and spun him around.
"Wait please, don't you remember we used to live together eyy? BBB; Bad Boys Block."
"Nah sorry mate don't know you, you must of got the wrong Ste" Ste replied.
Justin went to grab him again but Ste just screamed at the top of his lings saying, "GET OFF ME YOU PSYCHO, WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM. I SAID I DONT KNOW YOU NOW GET OFF ME YOU PERVERT."
Nearly everyone from the village came to the scene. Justin got dragged away by Joe Roscoe and nearly got punched in the face when Amy came running shouting, "STOP, JOE STOP LEAVE HIM ALONE, I KNOW 'IM PLEASE STOP."
Justin rubbed his arm and asked Amy why Ste was acting that way so Amy explained to him what happened to Ste and she told Ste that they used to be best friends.
"Ok shows over now, you can leave" Amy told the other villagers especially Cindy Cunningham, she was the talk of the town.
one time poor Charlie once got a bloody nose and Cindy all of a sudden started ranting to everyone around the village about it.
"Oooo did you hear Charlie Osborne's got a bloody nose. I wonder who done it."
Amy, Ste and Justin all went back to the house to talk some more. Justin was still so shocked about the whole situation. he was hurt when Ste didn't remember him, he's the reason he came back here. the first thing he did when he heard Warren was in prison was jump on a plane to Liverpool and a taxi straight to Hollyoaks. Justin was contemplating on whether to go to Ste's flat and finally he did but someone else was living there. he had half a second panic when the woman turned to him and said, "if you're looking for the guy that used to live here, he lives in one of them houses opposite the club."
...
some things have changed around here Justin thought to himself as he got out of the cab. what happened to 'Ill Nosh.'
Justin went to college coffee to get a drink, he paid up and walked out only when he was walking down the street he bumped into someone making him spill his coffee down himself.
"Aaaahh watch it." He'd replied in a rather annoyed voice. "I'm so sorry lemme buy you another one."
Justin looked up whilst accepting the apology when he got the shock of his life. Ste standing there looking really apologetic. When Justin said the next words Ste just looked at him as if he was crazy and Justin couldn't understand why so tried to get him to remember when ste started screaming and shouting for him get off him and Justin nearly got beat up when Amy came to the rescue.
Amy was sat on the sofa when she decided she'd go outside for some fresh air. When she was outside she could hear a familiar voice screaming verbal abuse to someone else, as she ran down the stairs she realised it was Ste. When she got to the scene she was shocked to see Justin there after how many years he went away for. She saw Joe Roscoe holding him by the scuff of his shirt, fist raised about to land its target, she had to move fast. "STOP JOE STOP LEAVE HIM ALONE I KNOW 'IM PLEASE STOP."
"So who did you say you was again and tell me more about us, now that I just found out I have an old friend" Ste asked excitedly.
"Err I'm Justin, I was your best friend I err used to live with you and we called it the bad boys block, ohh and you went out with Theresa McQueen haha."
"WHAT! Amy please do not tell me I went out with that slag" Ste asked, very surprised.
"Oi don't be so rude, yes she was your ex and then after her it was Rae" Amy replied.
"Who's Rae when she's at home haha" Ste asked.
Later on that day Ste got a knock on the door. "Oooo wonder who that might be."
Ste went to open the door to be faced with a rather evil and ugly face, Ste couldn't help but be scared and familiar with this guy.
"Hello Steven..."
"Sorry who are you don't tell me your another best friend of mine that I can't remember haha" Ste asked in a nervous voice.
"What did you just say.. as if I'll be best friends with someone like you, you're nothing but scum just like you always was." No named guy replied.
"Eh er! Who do you think you're talking to, I don't who the hell you are yh so you can either tell me who you are or fuck off." Ste replied very angry.
"Are you that thick that you can't even remember your own step-dad's name or should I just beat it into you instead you little piece of shit"
This new found step-dad went to make grab for Ste when Justin and Amy came into view and moved him out of the way.
"What the hell do you think you're doing Terry, Ste's been in an accident he don't remember anyone so just leave 'im alone before I call the police." Amy argued.
"Who's this Ste, your little boyfriend. Always knew you were a filthy little queer." Terry referred to Justin.
Terry went to go for him again but Justin just kicked him in the belly and told him to fuck off. Terry hobbled down the stairs and started punching the wall screaming 'FILTHY QUEER'.
When Terry got to the bottom of the stairs he saw a club opposite so decided to go their for a drink. When he got inside it was already buzzing although there weren't that much people. Terry went straight up to the bar and ordered a double vodka along with a whiskey he paid the money and took them to the corner where he sat down at an empty table.
"Why do you always have to be such a dick to me, your own sister.. I hate you." Terry heard a woman say. He saw the woman emerge from a door which must be an office. The woman was amazingly beautiful with blonde curls and an outfit that looks all over the place but stunning at the same time. She had a really nice, big pair of boobs and sitting right on top of them was an expensive looking necklace that reads 'OMG'.
"Excuse me have you got a problem." It took Terry five seconds to realise that the blonde woman was talking to him.
"No I don't, sorry just enjoying the view" Terry replied voice rough and seductive.
"Ohh ok well do you want another drink on me." The blonde woman replied. 'Wow her voice is like liquid gold, definitely Irish.' Terry thought to himself. He blinked and realised he hadn't replied.
"Yh ok then.. wait I didn't get your name."
"Cheryl, Cheryl Brady." Cheryl answered
Cheryl walked up to the bar followed by Terry, she found him weirdly attractive, not really her taste since... She found him attractive because there's something about him that's really luring.
"What can I get you." Cheryl asked
"A whiskey please." Terry answered
"Aaahh whiskey it is then. Just like my brother haha, he loves whiskey, Irish whiskey infact" Cheryl chimed.
"I don't care about your brother, I just want the fucking drink." Terry seethed
"Err ok bossy"
"JUST GIVE ME THE FUCKING DRINK" Terry screamed, he really needed to calm down but this Cheryl keeps talking.
Cheryl was just about to give some verbal abuse of her own when Terry put a knife to her throat, threatening to stab her if she didn't give him the drink right this instant, ofcourse he wasn't really he just wanted her to hurry up. A really scared Cheryl went to get the drink and pressed the emergency button underneath the counter that Cheryl and her brother decided to put their for when a drunken or rude customer gives trouble.
Brendan and Cheryl were in the office arguing about Nate. "I knew there was something wrong with him. I swear if I had my own way I'd have cut his balls off with a blunt knife and gave them to Mitzeee to wear as earrings" Brendan seethed.
"If I can forgive him, why can't you eyy?" Cheryl argued.
"HE CHEATED ON YOU FOR FUCK SAKE! OFCOURSE I'M NOT GONNA FORGIVE HIM FOR CHEATING ON MY SISTER" Brendan shouted angrily.
"You're such an asshole you know that" Cheryl argued, voice dripping with disgust.
"Well you're not seeing him and that's that alright"
Cheryl sulked some more then walked off and slammed the door shut. Brendan took a breather and sat in his seat. He was thinking of whether to go and see Ste or not, he hated himself every single day for not doing anything more quicker so it could save Ste but he didn't and he hates himself for that.
Brendan's brought out of his thoughts when he hears the pager go off, he looks at the screen to see what the commotion is. When he sees a very terrified looking Cheryl with something against her neck that looks like a blade that was it he was out of his seat.
Terry still had his hand to Cheryl's neck and he was about to get his drink when he felt an arm go around his middle and another go straight to his head and push his head down fast. "Now why would you do a very stupid thing like that eyy? Why would you think its a good idea to threaten my sister with a blade huh. That's very silly of you cause now your going to face the consequences.
Amy was walking down the stairs of Oak dale drive when she saw Terry being physically dragged out of the club by Brendan. "Oi what's going on? Terry what have you done now" Amy asked with venom in her voice.
"You know this guy." Brendan angrily asked
"Yes I do, wish I didn't urrggh. He's Ste's worthless junkie of a Step-dad." Amy seethed
"You, you're the one who beat Steven black and blue until he couldn't walk, you piece of shit." Everything happened so fast after that leaving Terry with a face full of blood.
Brendan smashed his head against the wall and shouted "that's for threatening my sister." "And this..." He punched him full pelt in the eye and kneed him right in the groin. "This is for what you put Steven through." Amy was trying to tell him to calm down. It took Darren, Joe, Freddie, Frazer and Trevor to get Brendan off of Terry, Brendan was so angry more angry with himself for hitting Ste all them years ago and manipulating him.
"Brendan you need to calm down otherwise you're gonna get arrested, come on, come on Brendan I'm taking you to mine, you need to sort yourself out now come on." Amy soothed
If brendan was in his right mind he would be very confused as to why Amy was being nice to him. But then again he did help her that time when she first came back to Hollyoaks when she was getting mugged. Since then she's had a soft side towards him which he found very confusing.
Amy led Brendan into the house, took his jacket off for him and took him to the kitchen to wash his hands then she took him to the sofa and put a bandage on both of his hands.
"What's this then, is this your new boyfriend Amy hehehe tell me everything" Ste excitedly said while bouncing up and down on the spot then deciding to sit right next to Brendan.
"Actually don't answer that, excuse me what's your name? How old are you? Do you have a job? Can you look after my best friend?" Ste asked very sternly.
Brendan was very hurt, he didn't expect him to remember him but it still hurt and it must be showing on his face because Amy looked at him with a pitiful face and decided to change the subject. "So Ste how was your day."
"It was ok I guess just spent the day with Justin he's still telling me about us and what we used to get up to haha." Ste said happily, unaware of a very jealous Brendan sitting right next to him.
Amy felt Brendan tense beside her and said "Justin is Ste's best friend from years ago."
Brendan got up and replied "Nice to hear but I need to get going thanks Amy for your help I appreciate it."
"Wait but you only just got here." Ste sulked
"I need to get back to my sister she'll be worried, I left her at the club ha." Brendan explained to Amy, totally ignoring Ste.
"O-ok yh sure erm I'll walk you to the door." Amy replied noticing the tension in Brendan's tone.
When Amy shut the door Ste was on her asking her so many questions, she couldn't get her head around any. "Ok slow down.. listen he aint my boyfriend ok he don't like girls and he.. err.. he was your friend."
"My friend what I don't understand and what do mean he doesn't like girls." Ste asked very confused
"Do you need me to spell it out for you, he's gay."
"Ohh.. So what's that got to do with me" Ste asked.
Amy contemplated on telling him the truth but then realised after everything Ste and Brendan have been through, Brendan is actually a nice guy and if Ste one day got his full memory back Amy will know very well that Ste will be angry with her. So Amy decides to go with the only answer she knows.
"He was your boyfriend"
