CH10
The fire brigade had arrived just as Jackson emerged from the building guiding a shaken up and coughing Hazel, he guided her across the road to the crowd and sat her on the wall "Everyone go into the pub, let's get out of the way" Diane shouted. "come on you two" she said to Hazel and Jackson "Lets get you inside" "Are you alright mum, I need to see Aaron" Jackson asked "Course son, go on" he kissed her cheek and went in search of his boyfriend. He saw him sat in his chair shaking and crying with his mum trying to calm him down. "Chas can you go and help my mum please" he asked, she nodded and walked away as Jackson knelt down in front of Aaron "You idiot" Aaron cried hitting Jackson chest "you absolute idiot" he shouted whilst leaning forwards and holding his boyfriend tight. They stayed like this for a while before Aaron pulled away slightly "are you hurt" he sobbed, "no I'm fine" Jackson replied. "I could have lost you, I nearly lost you" Aaron hiccupped "Shh its okay, you haven't lost me I'm right here" Jackson soothed. Jackson continued to whisper soothing words to Aaron who held tightly onto him, he tried to get Aaron to let go of him "come on babe we need to get you inside your freezing" Aaron reluctantly let go and they made their way up to the pub. Once inside they went through the back and Jackson laid Aaron on the sofa, "Please lay with me Jay" Aaron whispered, it broke Jackson heart to know how scared Aaron was. He lay with him until he had fallen asleep.
Chas came in as he was watching Aaron sleep, with a brandy "Thought you could do with this" she said. He sat up carefully so as not to wake Aaron and took the drink off her. "Thanks" he smiled "Are you okay" she asked "yes I'm fine. How's mum" "She's inhaled some smoke but they're not taking her in, the paramedics want to check you over" Jackson nodded "Can they do it here it just I don't want to leave Aaron" he said as he stroked the teens neatly shaven head. "I'll go and tell them." Chas offered and he smiled. As Jackson was being checked over by the paramedics Aaron woke up "Jay" he said panicking as he couldn't see him, Jackson shot up from his chair and straight to Aarons side "I'm right here" Aaron sighed with relief "Are you okay, where's your mum" he asked as he tried to sit up "Were both fine, don't worry" he said helping Aaron sit up "Mr Walsh, you seem fine, if you have any problem please go to the hospital" Jackson looked at the paramedics and thanked them for their help as Chas showed them out. "Go get your mum Jay, I want to see her" Jackson smiled and kissed Aaron, he could still see the frightened look in his eyes and was touched that he was worried about Hazel as well. Hazel came into the room with Jackson behind her, as soon as she saw Aaron she went over and hugged him, he hugged her back and got tears in his eyes "Are you okay Hazel, what happened to your head" he said pulling away from her "Oh its nothing love just a bump, don't worry about me" she said kissing his forehead. Aaron watched as she sat down across from him and Jackson sat beside him, he reached out and took Aarons hand and squeezed it slightly, Aaron gave him a small smile "What are we going to do now" he said to them, "Your mum said we could stay here" Hazel replied. "How am I going to manage, the bathroom and bedrooms are all upstairs" "Don't worry babe we will sort something out and I will just have to help you take a bath" he said winking at Aaron who blushed.
It was midnight before the fire officer came back with news that the cause of the fire was some dodgy wiring, it had started upstairs in the kitchen and luckily hadn't done too much damage to the rest of the house, there was smoke damage all the furniture would need to be replaced and it would need redecorating. He told them they would be allowed into the house the next day to see the damage for themselves if they wished. They all then went to bed to try and get some sleep. Jackson carried Aaron who was already dozing, upstairs he knew it was going to be hard for them but hopefully it shouldn't take too long to get the house back to normal again.
The next day they all woke up later than usual, it was only their first day in the pub and already Jackson could see how awkward things were for Aaron, he couldn't get around upstairs without Jackson carrying him because his chair was downstairs and then when he went downstairs he couldn't get his chair around the small living room. "This is no good" he said to his mum when Aaron and Chas had gone through to the bar "We can't stay here it's not practical, Aarons going to get hurt. I don't know where else we could go" he sighed "I know this seems a bit weird but what about home farm, they have rooms downstairs and it would be big enough for Aaron" Jackson looked at his mum like she was mad "what am I supposed to do, go up to Declan and ask to move in with him" Hazel shrugged "Why not" Jackson shook his head "no mum" Jackson got an idea "Paddy's" he said "why didn't I think of it before, he has a room downstairs we were going to make into Aaron's bedroom, yeah the bathroom is upstairs but that shouldn't be a problem, I can carry Aaron up there" Jackson rushed out to talk to Aaron who also agreed this would be a good idea, they both went up to smithy to talk to Paddy and Rhona.
"Come in lads" Paddy said as he opened the door "Sorry we weren't there last night I was on a call and Rhona was here alone with Leo" Aaron smiled gratefully at him "Don't worry Pads we are all fine, but we need to ask you something" Paddy led them through to the kitchen where Rhona sat with Leo "We haven't got anywhere to live, we stayed at the pub last night but Aaron couldn't get around on his own" Jackson said "you have to stay here then" Rhona said "we never use the dining room so we can put a bed in there" Aaron smiled at her "Thank you, are you sure you don't mind, we can baby sit for you as well anytime" "that's very kind of you and we are sure, you're like my son Aaron you can stay here for as long as you need" Paddy said as he hugged both Aaron and then Jackson. "Have you seen the house" Jackson shook his head "We are going over there now, they said we may be able to rescue some of stuff" Aaron said looking down, Jackson put a hand on Aarons shoulder "I've told you I will get it fixed up in no time" he told him comfortingly.
