This is my first attempt at an Emmerdale fanfic, Aaron Livesy is my favourite character, so this is the start of a series of stories that will show Emmerdale and Aaron written from my perspective. I hope you all enjoy

"The Day You Never Expect To Arrive"

The sound of her three inch heels stomping and grinding against the gravel, the car unlocking and then suddenly the slam of the car door and the roar of the engine all could be heard within seconds, she pulled away hard and fast causing the tyres to screech on the road.

Carl ran out of the front door. "Chas!" he yelled after her but it was too late. Realising this he pressed the palms of his hands to his forehead in frustration. "Aargh" He walked back inside and slammed the door after him.

Meanwhile Aaron was leaning against a stone wall, one of many field boundaries that he could see within the scenic countryside ahead. He was up quite high as he could see the roads down the hill and the village to the left. He did like living in the country, he knew what was what, who everyone was but all the while he still felt alone. It had been a few weeks since his attempt at kissing his best mate Adam, they had done nothing but argue and he hated it, he wouldn't admit it but he did, he loved spending time with his mate and now it was gone.

Aaron was deep in concentration; the frown burrowing his brow said it all, a single eyebrow rose as the sound of screeching tyres in the distance snapped him back to reality. "What the hell?" he thought as he saw Carl's car speeding along the country road. "Arguing again" he muttered and shook his head and delved back into his darkened mind as he still to this day struggled with his inner demons, the kiss was a big give away and he knew it, but he did not want to confront those feelings – ever!

Almost momentarily a high pitched screech echoed through the valley causing Aaron to look up, his expression quickly altered to a look of horror at the sight of the car almost wrapping itself around an oncoming car and with a burst of adrenaline he leapt over the stone wall and ran as fast as he possibly could, whether it was Carl, or a random – he could not just stay there and watch people die.

Aaron panted as he ran through the fields, the smell of the smoke drifted in his direction and it urged him to run even faster than he already was, his face contorted as he struggled to catch his breath.

In the not so far distance, Adam was riding his quad, when he noticed someone looking very much like Aaron running, and when he paid more attention, he saw why and jumped off the quad and he too started running towards the accident. Running; he took his phone out of his pocket and dialled nine nine nine – it connected seconds later. "Yeah um...ambulance please, there's been a car accident – just outside of Emmerdale, just hurry yeah?" he spoke urgently as he ran.

Reaching the roadside he jumped over the fence and ran several metres towards the scene, the smoke was more intense here; Aaron coughed violently and covered his mouth. He couldn't see the driver from the other car, but a slight gust of wind cleared the smoke briefly and then he saw long black wavy hair and a red leather jacket in the driver's seat.

He knew.

A heart wrenching cry forced itself out from Aaron and he was instantly sick on the roadside. But he stopped himself, and ran closer to the driver's side with no second thought for his own safety. All he wanted was him mum.

Tears streamed down his face as he yanked the car door open, resulting in it falling off its own hinges and onto the road. He fell to his knees; the lump in his throat just overwhelmed him for the second he allowed it too. With a deep breath he reached over her body and tried to loosen the seat belt but it was stuck. Aaron panicked and pulled hard and aggressively at the belt, desperation in each move he made. The harsh pulling of the belt rocked Chas from side to side slightly which allowed Aaron to see the left side of her face and neck completely covered in blood.

It wasn't until Aaron was feeling the exhaustion overpower him that he saw the foot well of the car through tear drenched eyes crushed inward trapping her legs.

In the distance several sirens could be heard, Aaron cried and cried, he might never have said it but he did love her. "Mum..." his voice was choked as his body began to shake more intensely now. He fell to his knees again. "Mum!" he hung his head for a moment then lifted it up again and grabbed her arm and shook her. "MUM!" he shouted, tears had not stopped flowing down his cheeks.

Aaron felt a tight grip around his chest as he was yanked away from the car, when he turned and saw it was Adam, he violently pushed him away and ran back to his mum.

"Aaron!" Adam shouted and ran to pull him away again.

"No!" he shook his head. "You've gotta help me!" he pleaded.

"There's nothing we can do Aaron" they may not have seen eye to eye lately but seeing Chas like that and Aaron suffering so much it brought tears to his eyes. When Aaron failed to listen, Adam leapt up to him and rugby tackled him to the ground. "It's TOO dangerous!" he tried to get it into his head.

Aaron sobbed and covered his face with his hands and started banging the back of his head off the road in complete sadness and frustration.

Adam took his hand and helped him up and Aaron fell against him; he looked up to the sky – the blue sky that looked so peaceful and he closed his eyes as he shook his head. He put his arms around Aaron. "They're coming mate..." he breathed. "They're coming" he repeated.

Seconds later an almighty wave of intense heat knocked them both to the ground, Aaron lifted himself up onto his elbows as he watched the car explode right before his eyes, the blast shot up several metres, and debris burst out with force.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Aaron screamed as he cried.

Adam grabbed Aaron and shoved him right down to the ground as another explosion ripped through the peaceful surroundings of the countryside.

TBC...

I hope you liked what I wrote, I don't know where it came from, and I'd just like to reassure people I actually love Chas but that idea stuck and became a way to begin these stories. Thankyou.
