Chapter 10.

Jackson was walking round the house finishing his quote off when he looked out the upstairs window..it looked directly out over the garage forecourt..he could see Aaron leaning against his van..

Your not planning on working there are you? Aaron says with a little venom in his voice

What's it to you if I am, you scared you're not guna be ale to resist me or sumat?

He says with slight humour in his voice, he really didn't want to fight with the younger lad. Bad move he thought as Aaron got a little closer in his face and spat

I'm not scared of anything mate, I just don't want you working there, and I think I can manage to keep away from you I ain't no fairy..

Jackson could see Aaron's jaw clenching and his hands balling up into fists as he said this, maybe it was a bad idea him working there, he could see the mechanic had a temper on him and he really didn't want to be on the receiving end of it when it was in full force..truth be told he was a little afraid of it...

tough mate I'm guna be working there for the next few weeks pointing at dale head, so you better get used to me being around..at that Jackson walked off thinking it best to put a little distance between the two of them.

Aaron watched Jackson walk off in the direction of the pub, great he thought I'm guna have to see him at lunch as well now..

As Jackson entered the pub he could see Adam sat on his own so he decided to go and talk to him and thank him for recommending him to Declan.

Hey up mate! Want another?

O hi Jackson yeah go on then..

Jackson ordered the drinks and himself some lunch and went and sat back down, he looked Adam up and down and thought there was sumat off about him, he just didn't look his normal happy self..

So mate, thanks for putting a word in with Declan for me! I start tomorrow...

Huh? O yeah...yeah.. no worries mate, knew you were at a loose end so...

Cheers, iv just come from there now, it's quite a tidy little house, shouldn't take me long to do it up for him like. So anyway hows Flynn? Not seen him for a few days!

Err yeah he's good mate, coming to mine later want me to get him to ring ya?

Yeah that would be sound mate, cheers..

they both looked up as they spotted Aaron walk in to the pub, he didn't even look in their direction which pissed Adam off a little..

what's up with you? You seem a little off today! Jackson asks as he sees the look Adam is giving Aaron..he done sumat to piss you off ?

Aaron could see the two of them out the corner of his eye, he was sure they were talking about him but he didn't care..he could go over and say hi to his best mate but he really didn't want to speak to Jackson again, the conversation hadn't exactly gone great when they spoke not even an hour ago. As much as he didn't want to speak to the builder he couldn't help but keep looking at him..in a way he wished he could suppress these feelings for him 'cos deep down he just wanted to be his friend but he knew he couldn't, he knew he liked him and not in the way he should. It was all wrong, why did this have to happen to him. He was happy with holly until he came onto the scene...Shit Holly he thought..better go and see if I can make things right with her..

I have to say mate he is hard work..he wasn't too impressed about the fact that I am working in the village! He all but told me to fuck off..he has a serious chip on his shoulder..I'm surprised he has any friends the way he goes about stuff! So come on tell me what he's done to piss you off, I thought you two were tight, best mates and all that!

Pissed off! I'm a little bit more than pissed off mate, he ain't no mate of mine the way that he's been. He has been nowhere near since that bust up with Holly, she is staying out till all hours getting wrecked and I'm sure she is taking sumat...she is skipping her classes and when she is in all she does is sleep mate, its seriously not good for her. Not in her condition anyway...

Wow was all Jackson could think, he had never seen Adam like this in the short time they had known each other...Does he even know any of this, like you said he ain't been anywhere near so he won't know the state she is in. maybe you should go and have a word with him..you never know he could be just giving her some space to calm down and all that..you know how it is when you've had an argument with someone, its best to give them a couple of days to cool off...and anyway what do you mean the condition she is in...she ain't ill is she?..I'm sure if she was ill he would be there for her..he can't be that heartless can he?

I don't know about that mate, he only really cares about himself...and no she ain't ill!

She's Pregnant...
