This is the second part of 'the beginning of nothing. It's set three months after the first story finished. I hope you enjoy this. And please leave a review and I will write more! Enjoy.
Aaron is lying in his boyfriend's bed at Dale View. The boys are still going strong and everything seems to be going good. But the mechanic can't seem to stop worrying. He scared in case he messes up again, he's finally told the builder that he loves him and is scared that it will all go wrong. But will it? Or is the blue eyed teen just over reacting? Aaron can hear Ryan and Andy talking downstairs, he still feels awkward about staying over when his mates are there, but he's getting use to it. Jackson has got a new job in Leeds, so he had to leave early this morning. But promised his lover a night out at bar west tonight. The teen gets up from the bed and sticks on his work clothes. He stares out the window and sighs at the rain outside. Oh, how he wished he was back on the beach with Jackson. He leaves Andy's in a hurry without waiting on his workmate, Ryan. He felt uncomfortable as it is.
As he heads to the garage, he notices Hazel catching up with him, that's all he needs first thing in the morning.
"I was thinking about making you and Jackson tea tonight, what ya think?" Hazel asks out of breathe.
"Can't, going out tonight"
"Again? That's all you two bloody do! I never get to see ya's"
"That's the point" Aaron mutters and heads to work.
It was a slow day at the garage, Ryan started going on about how he shouldn't feel embarrassed about staying over and that they don't mind. The teen could feel the anger build up, he hated people going on about his business and hated talking about his feelings. Just because he's gay doesn't mean he's going to stop being Aaron.
After lunch in the café, Aaron heads back to work, when he notices an older man with ginger hair standing outside of Andy's. His curiosity got the better of him and walked up to this stranger.
"Can I help you?" Aaron asks.
"Do you live here?" the man responds with a bitter tone.
"No, I don't but-"
"then its got nothing to do with ya, does it?" the older bloke spat.
"Hang on, who do you think your talking to?" the blue eyed teen raised his voice.
""A chav in a jump suit, now bug off" before Aaron could get another word in, Hazel was at her side, anger in her eyes and also a bit nervous.
"Hazel, who is this idiot?" the teen asks through gritted teeth.
"Jerry, Jackson's dad" hazel sighs and looks at her ex husband "and this is Aaron, Jackson's boyfriend"
"Him?" Jerry shouted out in disgust.
"You got a problem with that?" the mechanic spits out.
"Actually, I do" Jerry is now a few feet away from Aaron, Hazel manages to pull Jackson's dad away and takes him to the pub to calm down, leaving Aaron standing outside of Dale View, furious,
Aaron has been trying to get a hold of his boyfriend since he met his dad, but there's no answer, he hated not talking to the builder, but he knew he would see him at 7 in bar west and the worrying seemed to ease.
Aaron enters his house, were he and Paddy share. He looks at his phone and there's no messages from Jackson. He's probably driving, he thought to himself.
Aaron gets off the bus in Hotton and heads for bar west, he notices a gang of blokes standing outside the gay bar, it doesn't look like it would be there scene. After his third pint, he realises that something is wrong and tries to ring his boyfriend again.
"Hello?" the voice of the builders voice calmed the teen down.
"where the hell are you? I've been waiting for ages!" Aaron moans.
"I'm stuck in traffic, still in Leeds. How about I just meet you at mines? Get some cans in?"
"fine!" Aaron huffs.
The mechanic leaves the bar and notices that the gang of guys are still there, as he walks by them, he's not aware that they are following him. A man in a black hoddie is walking towards the teen and stops him for the time, Aaron reaches for his phone and tells the stranger the time. Just as he is about to start walking again, one of the thugs behinds him grabs him into the ally. Aaron puts up a fight until one of the guys pulls out a knife and stabs the teen in the stomach. As Aaron falls to the ground, the men start kicking into him until the mechanic blanks out. And they leave him there for dead.
