Disclaimer: Characters belong to Emmerdale and EastEnders, my story is my own although mentions of the previous storyline between the two characters and other characters belong to Emmerdale and EastEnders.

A/N – this is the first crossover i've done, and i love both AARSON and CHRYED and thought what it would be like to put these characters together. I've only intended to write a few chapters, but if you like the way i'm going with this and want me to keep going i will and if i do keep going then more characters will be wrttin in. I hope you enjoy.

Jackson woke up to the sound of someone singing lady gaga at the top of their lungs, he reaches for his phone to check the time, "who in the right mind be singing and dancing at 6:30 on a monday morning?" He thought to himself. He grunts at the thought of getting up, he always hated mornings. Once he was showerd and changed for his first day on the job, he headed downstairs, to see Kim and another women arguing of the breakfast menu. "Good morning ladies" Jackson grinned with a cheeky smile. "I'm sorry, i havent had the plesaure of meeting you yet, I'm Jackson" the builder reaches his arm out for a handshake, The older women looked flattered and couldnt stop smiling, "Hi there, I'm Deniese. They both shakes hands. "Are you just passing by here?" Deniese asks with curious eyes. "Here for a job really, the fish and chips place, i'm here to rebuild it" "Good looking and has a mans job, just my type" Kim winks at Jackson. "funny, thats my type also" the brown eyed man smiles, leaving Kim and Denise disappointed. Jackson finishes for his lunch, it mostly because of his boss, Ian Beale. he just had to get away from him, he understands that his boss just wants his buisness to look exactly the way it does in the plans he made, but he didnt have to be to nasty about it. Sitting in the Kafe for his lunch, he was getting to know the locals. They seemed friendly enough, although Bianca's voice went right through him, he has never heard such annoying voice sun was shining on a hot summers day in July, Jackson was starting to feel the heat and took his top off, he heard a whistle behind him, as he turned he noticed Kim and Kat standing in front of him.

"Well hello Handsom" Kim greets

"Hi" the builder smiles and nods at the busty dark haired women standing next to him.

"I'm Kat and i can be all yours" both Kat and Kim laugh

"Sorry ladies, you arent my type"

"see! I told you" Kim nudges her friend

"We are having a few drinks in the Vic later then heading to R&R, if you want to join us" asks Kat.

"Tempted..how about i come for a drink at the pub and see where the night takes us" Jackson grins cheekily, The girls leave Jackson to get back to work.

Syed is walking with his mother in the square, she's moaning about one of her friends who looks down their nose at her, but Syed isnt really listening, hes got far too much on his mind, he still needs to tell him about the break up with him and Christian, but just cant find the words to say, as they both walk past the fish and chips shop, something catches Syed's eye, he doesnt relise that he has stoped in the middle of the street, as he's staring at one of the builders, he is insintly attractive to this man, his curly brown hair, his toned, tanned body, sweat all over him from the sunshine and his hard work, This leaves Syed Breathless, he has never seen someone so beautiful. Before he could think about anything else his mother snaps him out of his daze, moaning at him for not listening to him. He heads back to his parents home, still thinking about the beautiful stranger he just saw, guilt now over-powering him, he didnt have a clue why he felt guilty, Christian left him, he was aloud to look at other blokes? Which didnt stop him before, so why now? Why is he now feeling guilty about fancing someone else when he isnt even with anyone?

Jackson enters the queen vic, to meet Kim and Kat, he eyes up the place untill he spots them at the jukebox, he walks upto greet the two new ladies in his life, both look old enough to be his mother! He offers to buy the first round, he goes two the bar and orders two vodka oranges and a pint for himself,He hear mumbles from behind the bar, one of the barmaids with blonde hair, is mouthing off to someone behind me, at first he thought it was him she was shouting at, he turns round to see what was going on, he sees an older man, with black hair and a scruffy beard with an older looking women, he looked nervous, scared and upset, the older women looked confused to why the blonde barmaid was shouting at him.

"You have some nerve coming in here!" the feisty blonde shouts

"Look, I'm sorry!" The dark stranger pleads

"Sorry sorry! Thats all we hear from you isnt Syed!"

"Roxy! I tried my best" Tears now filling up in Syed's eyes

"Oh don't start that! JUST GET IT!" Roxy screams

"Come on Papu, lets go home" the older women speaks while grabbing onto Syeds arm.

The pub is full of stares, untill Roxy tells them to go back to do what they were doing, at that minute, Jackson felt like home, it always kicked off in the Woolpack, he smiled to himself and grabed the drinks and made his way back to the ladies.

Zainab pushes her son into the living room, were his father and younger brother is sitting. Zainab is filled with anger and embarssment.

"Well, are you going to tell me what that was all about?" Zainab shouts

"Just leave it mum"

"I'm not going to just leave it!" Zainab cries

"Can someone tell me whats going on?" Masood asks with confusion.

"Why dont you ask your son, hm?"Zainab spits

"Look, its nothing, can we talk about this later?" Syed heads out the frontdoor without looking back. He had to get out of that house! Why did he agree to go to the pub with his mum? He knew Roxy would be there, and of course Christian would have told her about the split.Everyone is going to find out now, he had to tell his parents, he just didnt want to be a failure anymore.

Jackson heads out the pub, finally convincing the girls that he has a early start tomorrow and cant go clubbing, he looks over the road and sees the stranger from the pub earlier on, sitting on a bench by himself. The builder walks towards the dark stranger, the closer he gets to him, he can see, that hes crying.

"Y'alright mate?" Jackson asks with concern

"Whats it got to do with you?" Syed lashed out

"Look, i dont want a fight, you clearly upset, just wanted to know if you were alright" Jackson turns round to walk back.

"I'm sorry" Syed stops him. Jackson sits next to him on the bench. "I guess you saw all that in the Vic?"

"Yeah, ex girlfriend?" the brown eyed builder asks

Syed laughs "Roxy? No way in hell! I was with her mate, moved away together and things didnt work out"

"And now shes blamming you?"

"She had a point, it was mostly my fault, everytime things seemed to be going alright, i messed it up somehow"

"You sound like my ex" Jackson states

Syed looked into Jackson eyes, he could tell he also got hurt reccently by someone.

"I'm Syed, by the way"

"Jackson" the builder smiles.

"Do you live around here? Never seen you on the square before"

"Just moved here, working on the fish and chip shop rebuild and staying in the marvouls Kim's Palace" They both smiled at one another.

"SYED!" A womens voice echos around the square.

"Looks like i'm being summond, i better go, see ya around" Syed stands up and walks towards his mothers house, leaving Jackson sitting by his own, he takes his mobile out of his jacket pocket and stares at Aarons name on his contact list, after a few minutes, he finally presses the call number.

"Hey, its me".
