Chapter 7

It was 1am when Aaron recieved a text from Ed, asking him to go round. despite all of Aaron's efforts, Ed wasn't letting it drop. He needed to see the young mechanic now.

Aaron sighed and threw back the duvet and looked out of his bedroom window. The rain lashed down, bouncing off the dimly lit streets of Emmerdale. Sighing again, he got dressed and headed out into the night, being careful not to wake his Mum as he left.

Aaron was soaked by the time he got to Ed's house. He knocked softly on the door and it was pulled open "Hey Aaron."

"What do you want Ed?" Aaron asked, grumpy at being woken up.

"I need to talk to you. I can't really say it over the phone. Sit down." Ed said, pointing to the sofa.

Aaron reluctantly sat down and waited for whatever his boyfriend had to say.

"I think you should move in." Ed blurted out

"Move in? Ed we've been together three weeks!"

"Yeah I know, but when something feels right, it just feels right. I want you here with me."

"Ed this is a big step. I mean we haven't even slept together yet."

"I know. I know you need time to trust me. I just think it would be good having you around here, that's all."

"So what, you can keep an eye on me?"

"No! Aaron I just...I want you here. Away from him."

"Away from Jackson?"

"No. Away from Adam."

"Adam? What's he got to do with this?"

"Don't pretend I haven't seen the way you look at each other!"

"Well you don't have to worry. Adam's not gay."

"Maybe. But you are."

"What you think I'm going to jump on him?"

"Like I say...I've seen the way you look at him."

"Theres no "way" I've been looking at him! He's my best friend!"

"Well what about me? I'm your friend too."

"Ed, I don't want to get into this with you. There is nothing going on between me and Adam. I'm going home."

"No you aren't. Not until we've discussed this." Ed replied, standing up and heading to the front door. "You're going to tell me exactly what is going on between the two of you."

"For the last time there is nothing going on!"

"I don't believe you." Ed snarled, locking the front door and putting the key in his pocket. "You better start telling me the truth. You aren't going anywhere til you do!"

"Ed, unlock the door. I want to go home! Ed unlock the fucking door!"

"But this is your home now. here with me. Only me."

"Ed please!"

"You aren't going anywhere, Aaron."

Aaron sighed and sat down on the sofa

"Why are you doing this? You can't stop me from seeing my friends!"

"You don't need them though Aaron. I'm your friend, aren't I?"

Aaron fought back the tears and nodded.

"You look like shit, Aaron. Go and get yourself cleaned up."

Aaron nodded and headed to the bathroom, locking the door behind him. He saw this as his chance and attempted to climb out of the bathroow window. There were shampoo bottles lining the windowsill and Aaron knocked them over in his battle to escape. Within seconds the door flew open and he felt a grip on his hoody, pulling him back and sending him crashing to the floor

"Should of Known you'd try something like that! What have I got to do, eh? Do you think I enjoy hitting you?" Ed yelled as he kicked Aaron hard in the stomach. Aaron fought to get away but another kick to his stomach sent him crashing back onto the floor. "Oh no. You dont get away that easily. I'm thinking I should teach you a lesson. Do you know what I'm going to do to you, Aaron?"

Aaron shook his head as tears rolled down his face. Ed moved and grabbed Aaron wrists, pinning them above his head as he straddled the younger man.

"Ed please you're hurting me."

"I havent even started yet." Ed snarled. As much as Aaron tried, Ed's weight was too much for him to fight against. His arms remained pinned above his head and he was frozen in shock as Ed slowly began to unbutton his jeans...

eeeeeeeee

Aaron lay on the cold marble floor in the bathroom as Ed clambered to his feet.

"Get up!"

Aaron lay still on the floor, too scared to move. Ed shook his head and grabbed the mechanic's arm, pulling him up with force "When i tell you to do something, I expect you to do it!"

"I'm..I'm sorry.."

"You're sorry? Any idea how pathetic you sound? No wonder everyone leaves you. No wonder Jackson cheated on you, you spineless sack of shit. You know what? Maybe you should go home."

Aaron nodded and Ed released his grip. He picked up Aarons hoodie from the floor. "Here. Don't want you catching something. It's cold out there."

Aaron took the hoodie from Ed and pulled it on, wrapping his arms around himself for comfort, he headed to the door.

"Aaron, wait."

Aaron turned around to see Ed wearing his hoodie too.

"You aren't going out there alone at this time of night. There's all kinds of psychos out there. I'll walk you back."

"I don't need walking back..."

"I'm not offering, Aaron. I'm telling. I'm walking you back. Don't want you getting into any trouble."
