Feels Like Ages
Chapter One
Brendan Seamus Brady has just been re released from prison, the police officers has finally discovered the CCTV footage from that fateful night, when Cheryl shot down her own father Seamus in cold-blood. The tape went missing, though Sam Lomax found it after trying to discover some more facts about Trevor Royle. With that new information, Cheryl fled and is now living in Greece with her husband Nate. Though something didn't fit quite well with the police offices, if Brendan lied about murdering his own father. Perhaps he lied about the others too. Regardless they let him out on bail after he insisted that he had no ideal what he was saying that night. They had to let him go, no evidence found and Brendan did admit that he had been drinking that night.
"Thank you Brian" Brendan spoke, as the police officer opened the door for him.
He could almost taste the fresh air as he stepped outside. It felt good, he never thought that he would experience this fresh air again though he has. Lady Luck has finally gave him another chance.
"Mr Brady; I presume we will be seeing you again" Brian called from the front entrance of the police station.
Brendan turned around and smiled.
"You won't be seeing me again" Brendan insisted before turning back around and setting of on his trail.
Though as soon as he entered the village, all his confidence was taken away. As he looked at the club and the deli. He thought about Steven, he couldn't just come back into his life and expect a second chance like that. How selfish would that make Brendan? He can't just expect him to forgive him, he wouldn't want to be forgiven easily.
"Hey, Maxine" Brendan spoke, she looked so shocked as she stepped back. Her face was a picture. She was slightly trembling.
"Is Steven okay?" Brendan then asked her, making his intentions clear.
She breathed, she didn't really know what to make of this. Forgetting about the fact that she hardly knows Ste. This is Brendan Seamus Brady, the man who allegedly murdered five people, including his own grandmother and father.
"Go ask him yourself" Maxine breathed, as she walked back towards her home.
Collecting her keys and quickly unlocking her door. He could have got out on his own accord for all she knows as she locked her door. She was absolutely petrified of this man, he murdered five people after all.
"Fine" Brendan muttered to himself, he had no ideal about anything.
As he started to walk towards the infamous deli, it looked empty and there were no signs of Steven or Douglass in there (he has no ideal that Doug has died either) He noticed a sign on the door which read. 'Deli closed until further notice'
"Damn" Brendan muttered under his breath, that worried him.
He was scared now, he just wanted to make sure that Steven was okay. Only reason he returned to the village was for Steven and to see how everything is. He wasn't planning on moving back here.
"Brendan" Theresa spoke out loud, she sounded ever so shocked as she looked at the man with wide eyes.
"Theresa, is Steven okay?" Brendan asked her, she didn't seem as shaken-up as Maxine, probably because she is use these type of people.
She didn't know how to break it to him. She couldn't just come out with it. She couldn't just say 'Oh yeah, apart from him almost dying in a blast, killing his own mother, losing his husband, finding out about his real father' in her mind that was he has done.
"Not exactly" Theresa gritted her teeth, as she stepped back one.
"What do you mean, not exactly?" Brendan asked her, walking closer towards her. His heart was racing quickly now.
"He kinda almost died, I mean he's okay now" Theresa was already cut of as Brendan was half-way down the road.
He was rushing, he was on his way to Steven's burned down flat. Though he didn't know that. He soon found himself there, in their old 'love-nest' It was blown to pieces, as Brendan looked on in shock.
He found himself thinking about Steven. This wreckage almost symbolized what their relationship has become, a catastrophic mess. He found himself just staring and refusing to believe this site.
As he stepped back, walking back towards the village. As he looked towards his old house, he rushed up the stairs. Suspecting he might be with Doug, Leanne and Texas, since there his friends he presumes.
As he started knocking, it took him a few moments until he saw the 'Up For Sale' sign. He stepped back one. He honestly doesn't know where else Steven could be. Maybe he should have listened to Theresa.
"What do you think you're doing? Knocking on my house" Trevor hissed, as he pushed him out of his way, grabbing the 'Up for Sale' Sign and chucking it down.
He was planning to get rid of it but didn't have the chance.
"Your house? What about Texas, Leanne and Douglass?" Brendan asked him. Confused as expected.
"There gone, dead, deceased" Trevor replied, he heard about Texas from the local newspaper, Leanne and Doug since he was at the scene of the explosion.
"Really? All of them?" Brendan asked him.
Trevor just nodded.
"Look, do you where a Steven Hay lives by any chance?" Brendan asked, he really was desperate.
"Yeah he lives with his dad and sisters I believe, right there" Trevor replied, pointing towards the door.
"My old house" Brendan muttered under his breath.
He stepped closer to it, he could tell that Trevor was still staring at him. He has head about Brendan Brady once before but he never met him himself. His name was just passed around because of his line of work.
"I heard your name knocking around" Trevor commented.
Brendan knocked on the door, sounding quite frantic.
"Don't believe everything you hear" Brendan replied to him.
He gave him a small smile before opening up his door and walking into his home. Trevor hoped he never finds out about his and Steven's history for obvious reasons.
"Hello" Danny Lomax spoke as he looked at Brendan with confusion.
"Is Steven okay?" Brendan asked, almost pushing past him but he didn't quite expect what happened next.
He didn't know the man himself was here.
"What? How?" Steven asked weakly, he looked astonished.
Brendan just looked at him, not dropping the gaze. As he looked into those familiar blue eyes, he couldn't quite take it all in. He walked closer towards him, hesitatingly wrapping his arms around him. Steven returned the favor as he let some tears fall down.
"I love you" Brendan told him, he couldn't help but slide his fingers through his blonde coloured hair.
They broke apart.
"Who are you?" Danny just asked, he didn't have a clue who he was.
Steven wiped away the rest of his tears as he tried to find the answer though he couldn't seem to find the words.
"I'm Brendan Brady"
"He's my, he's the love of my life" Steven breathed, still trying to wipe the rest of his tears away.
Brendan went besides him again as he placed his arm around him. Trying to comfort him in some way.
"I use to live here" Brendan told him.
Danny ws now the one trying to find the words.
"Why haven't I seen you before? I mean" Danny was still confused.
"Don't matter why" Brendan replied.
