DISCLAIMER, I OWN NOTHING./ ALL CHARCTERS AND ORIGNAL STORY BELONGS TO EMMERDALE AND ITV.
"You haven't lost me, I never had ya" Jackson's words still burned into Aaron's mind, after five years, he still couldn't get the builder out his mind. He knew before he moved back to the village, the small place would bring so many memoires. The fight they had that cold October night. Coming back to emmerdale that morning, to find Jackson and his belongings gone. Aaron did, what he did best, he lashed out. He couldn't bare the pain of finally losing the only man that gave a damn about him. The pain took its toll, the mechanic couldn't take it any more. A few punches to a brick wall and a few cuts onto his stomach, made him forget the pain, but it didn't last long./ Chas, suggested he should get away for a while, start fresh and forget the fact Jackson Walsh broke his heart. The blue eyed boy, looked hard at his reflection in the mirror. staring at his cut up body. he sighed. And finally agreed to leave emmerdale for good. He spent five years in France. He met a rugby player named Ed, after five months, they moved in together. But Aaron couldn't give Ed what he wanted the most, the same way he couldn't give Jackson, love. Shortly after the two split, Aaron found himself alone in France, drunk most nice and in someone's bed every morning. He knew it wasn't right, but no matter what he did or do, he just couldn't get the builder out his head. He wanted to go back home, see his mates, he even missed his mum, Chas. It was time to leave France and head back to Emmerdale.
Aaron Livsey slammed the hotton taxi door shut, he stared at the small village, the place he use to call home. His eyes locked onto the garage, the family business, where he use to work. The memoires, of him and the builder, muking about and having a laugh, it felt like a life time ago. Was he ready for this? Was he ready for the locals to grill him and ask him questions on what he's been doing all this time. He reaches for his cig packet and his lighter, as he inhales the tobacco smoke, he looks on, he sees new faces around the village. Emmerdale seems different but at the same time, nothing has changed. His eyes drift to a loud mouth women with a scouse accent. She reminds him of someone, but if he mentions that, he will get a right slap, he smirks at the thought. He watches the older women walk into Dale Head. The same house Jackson was refurbishing. It only seemed like yesterday, he went in there, begging Jackson to give him another chance. Maybe if he didn't force the builder to go out on a night out, too soon after their fall out, maybe things would have ended up different? Maybe Jackson, wouldn't have left so quickly.
Aaron, walks into the wool pack pub, he jumps at the sound of his mothers high pitched voice. She wraps her arms around him and squeezes tight, Aaron makes a face.
"oh love, it's so good to see you!" Chas cries.
"You too" Aaron says quietly.
"This is James, the one I was telling you about"
James reached his arm out, to shake his girlfriends sons hand. Aaron nodded and muttered "alright" James stood there, feeling like a right div. He should of known better. Once settled in, he went to café. He couldn't believe how different it looked. He knew about the fire. But couldn't of imagined how different it would of looked. He couldn't help himself and asked Bob, if he heard from Hazel. The café owner explained, That hazel left not long after he did. She went to look for Jackson and went back on her travels. It still hurt when the builders name got mentioned.
Enjoying his coffee, as Aaron looks up at the counter, he notices, a tall well dressed young man, with blonde hair. He couldn't help but stare. The young man, turned round, he could feel Aaron's eyes on him. He smiled. Leaving the mechanic feeling awkward.
Later that night, after a long catch up with his best mate, Adam. They headed to the woolie for a few pints. He had missed this, being around his mates, not feeling so alone any more. But something was missing. The hole in his heart was still there.
Aaron rolls his eye at Adam's attempt of a joke, he turns his head round and sees the blonde young man again, his lips now dry, he couldn't help but blushed at the thought of this stranger. He nudges to his best mate, Adam now staring. "Who is that?" Aaron asks. "That's Vic's brother, Robert Sugden" Adam replies. He's heard of the other Sugden before, mostly from comments from the locals. The mechanic couldn't help but stare, there was something about him. Was this the man to finally help Aaron get over Jackson? With another glance at him, Aaron takes another sip of his pint, only time will tell.
