DISCLAIMER: I do not own Emmerdale or it's characters, they belong to ITV

A/N: Thanks for all the reviews guys...xx more turmoil coming up *sorry* but I always aim to bring them back together!

Aaron stared down to the ground, from where he sat clamped in on the oblivion ride at Alton towers, it was the dreaded pause, those few seconds before you were hurtled down that hole, next to him sat Flynn, whose face was a picture of fear, and sat next to him was Tom, smiling in glee. Aaron just stared on down...he could hear AND feel his heart beat, until...

"AAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!"

Aaron's cry and many others as the ride chucked them down and through the black hole, where they were sprayed with water, and taken them out flat to the otherside, Aaron grinned like a cheshire cat demanding they all que up again, but poor Flynn was white as a sheet, " you can go...I'm staying firmly feet flat on the ground.." he told, Tom laughed, " well I'm up for it again, pity the weathers sh*t"

Aaron realised it had began to drizzle yet again, and when they were finally released from the ride, the drizzle was steady, Greg came over, " proberly best we eat now...rain might stop in a bit"

Adam, who was with him agreed, " yeah there are some hot dogs going spare over there" they drifted off in the same direction, and Aaron joined Adam's side, " you should have come on that thing...it were wicked!" laughed Aaron.

Adam shook his head, " there was no way you were ever gonna get me on there!"

Greg teased him, " no, I took Adam away for a gentler ride...he had a great time!", Adam looked at him, " behave!...Mia's just gone to get one of those rain mac things...she'll have her claws out if you touched me!" he laughed.

Aaron pulled out his mobile, as they entered one of the theme parks many eat places, he'd received a text message from BOYFRIEND...it read;

hope you are having a GR8 TIME...

Aaron smiled...then his smile faded after reading the next part...

...and don't do anything I would do!...wink wink...J

Adam place a hand on Aaron's shoulder , " I see that Flynn's been giving you the eye all day...so are yah gonna for it!", they sat at a table, as Greg and Tom lined up at the counter to buy hotdogs and a coke, and Flynn had nipped off to the gents, feeling quisey from the ride!

Aaron shook his head at his mate, " NO WHY!"

Adam shrugged, " just this open relationship thing you said about...Mia's explained to me how that works..."

Aaron looked at him in disbelief, " you mean to say SHE knows in all!"

" Mia's cool with it, she knows some straights who do it...she's broad minded is Mia..." told Adam.

Aaron swept his hand over his shaven head, and frowned, " good for her...but i'm not so sure I...I want this open relationship...it's something Jackson wants...he says it'll be good for me...but I can't see it yet..."

Just then Greg and Tom brought over the trays of hotdogs and cokes, Mia then appeared with a rain mac, " hey! these things were pricey!" she cried, and throw one at Adam, " got you one...pink is all they had left...", Adam stared at the mac, " nah...that's more Aaron's colour!" he teased.

Greg snatched it from him, " look if everyones fussy, I'll have it!", Aaron sucked the straw of his coke, then saw Flynn approach, " you alright" he asked, Flynn nodded, " was sick a couple of times, but I'm fine now...you're just have to look after me this afternoon hey...he said, Aaron moved across to let him sit, Flynn watched him continue to suck through the straw, " nice sucking techneque you got there..." he teased...Aaron dumped the plate of hotdogs in front of him, " look...and eat!" he told...hinting a smirk..." a mouthful might shut you up !"

After their eats, the drizzle did subside, and the sun came out.

The group decided to separate out and meet up later, Adam and Mia went one way...Greg and Tom another way...and Aaron stuck with Flynn.

Although he didn't mind...he seemed to think a lot about Flynn lately, together they went on a roller coaster and a water rapids ride, both ended up getting a good drenching!

The sun had heated up nicely and the blue skies adorned over them...Flynn whipped off his tee shirt and rung it out, " do yours..." he pointed out.

Aaron stared at him unsurely...then took off his top, Flynn had a good old perv, " nice body" he observed.

Aaron shyly looked away, Flynn's body wasn't too bad either...and Aaron did get an eye full.

"shall we go get a drink" Flynn asked, Aaron nodded putting his tee shirt back on, " yeah...why not!"

They sat at a small bar near the parks entrance, and watched the day trippers go back and forth,

" so are you enjoying yourself today..." asked Flynn, supping his drink,

Aaron nodded, "yeah...it's been mint...", Flynn smiled at him, " I'm glad you came...I looked forward to it...", Aaron supped his own beer, looking at him briefly with his blue eyes, "yeah me to..."

Flynn took another sip of his beer staring at him...playing carefully, " this thing with Jackson...are you okay with it..."

Aaron snapped his head around, " course I am!" he lied, " he wants me have fun...and I am...see!" he waved his hand at the theme park in general, " I think he's mad...I would NEVER share you..." told Flynn...looking away, trailing off his words.

Aaron looked at him, hinting a smile, both unsure how to start things...Aaron bit his bottom lip, before asking, So...would you be up for...things...knowing I am still with Jackson"

Flynn shrugged, " It's kinda weird...I never have had to share anyone before...that's IF we decide"

Aaron agreed, " yes IF we decide to..." there eyes met, " So...what do you think...wanna go out on a date..." asked Flynn, taking the plunge, " I mean I don't know exactly how all this works...do I need to book yah like..."

Aaron pulled a frown " book me..."

Flynn nodded, " well yeah...don't want Jackson there on our date do I", Aaron wasn't sure either, did he have to let Jackson know where he was going...or seeing,

"maybe club21...friday" suggested Aaron, Flynn nodded with a smile, "yeah that'll be cool" Aaron turned to see Tom and Greg heading their way, both licking ice creams.

Although Flynn was over the moon...Aaronwas confused...how did he go from going on holiday with the man he loved and nearly engaged to...to spending the day with friends and arranging a date with a guy he'd only known for a couple of weeks...and then he remembered Jack...Jackson's Son.

It was Tuesday, Jackson would be spending time with little Jack today...and HE was with Flynn.

GOD HIS HEAD WAS SPINNING...that day in the play park, he wanted to be somewhere else...having FUN...wished for it...and now he was having fun, he wished he was with Jackson and his son...how on earth was he gonna get through this...and sort his head out,

" so had fun did we..." teased Greg licking his ice cream, Flynn smiled up to them , " we did...got abit wet and wild on the rapid ride...so wet we had to remove clothing" he said looking at Aaron.

Aaron smiled...but Tom looked at him questioningly, Aaron bolted into the gents, and Tom followed him, and found Aaron standing at the sink staring into the mirror, Tom came forward,

"wh`y are you doing this...why are you just confusing yourself further..."he asked.

Aaron turned to him looking like he was about to cry, " I don't know...it's just Jackson wants this...and so do I...I think...I thought...but...but to be honest..." he slammed a hand against the tiled wall in frustration, " sometimes I Just want to turn the clock back...sometimes I just want things to go back to how they were...but then...sometimes the thought of committment with Jackson totally freaks me...then...

sometimes...I just wanna go and have some fun...Tom I'm so confused...I hate feeling like this...I HATE IT TOM I HATE IT..."

Tom took him into his arms to sooth him...Aaron was in a mess... tears of frustration and upset...and it even baffled him how they were ever gonna sort it all out...

...only time would tell...
