Robert made dinner for Aaron, Chas and Liv that night, he also watched a movie with Aaron and Chas. Aaron was snuggled up against him and he hand his head on his shoulder. Robert had his arm around Aaron's shoulders and he stroked his boyfriend's bicep with his thumb. Being able to spend time with Aaron like his was precious to Robert, it warmed his heat to know that Aaron trusted him.

When the movie had ended, Aaron and Robert walked upstairs, and Robert packed some stuff to spend the night at his sister's house. Aaron did not want Robert to go because he was scared that he would not come back. There was also another reason.

"Do you have to go?" Aaron asked.

"Yeah. I can't keep dealing with Liv's pranks all day everyday. It's draining" Robert answered.

Aaron sniffled and he nodded "Alright."

Robert walked over to Aaron and he placed his hands on the younger man's hips "I'll see you tomorrow. I love you".

Aaron smiled "I love you".

Robert kissed Aaron and the younger man kissed him back. After a few moments Robert grabbed his bag and he walked downstairs, he nodded at Chas and she nodded back at him "Call me if he has a nightmare or if something happens. I'll be here in a shot".

"Will do. See you soon" Chas smiled.

Robert smiled "See ya, Chas".

Robert left and he walked to Victoria's house. But Aaron stood in his bedroom for a few minutes before he got ready for bed, he turned the bedside lamps on before he walked over to the light switch next to the door. He turned the big light off and he walked over to his bed. He pulled the duvet up to his chin and he rolled onto his side, he curled up and he tried to fight his childhood fears of the dark.

"He can't get me. He's in prison and I'm safe" Aaron said to himself before he closed his eyes to go to sleep.

Chas locked up the pub and the house and she turned off all of the lights before she went up to bed. She changed into her pyjamas, she brushed her teeth, and then she brushed her hair before he climbed into her bed and she fell asleep.

"Robert! Robert, come back!" came a scream.

Chas woke up to the sound of her son screaming and she pulled on her dressing gown before she ran to his room. She ran into Aaron's bedroom and she heard his agonising screaming before she saw that her son was thrashing around in his bed. She ran over and she pulled her phone out of her pocket, she called Robert as she tried to shake her son awake.

"Hello?" Robert asked.

"Robert, get here as quick as you can! Aaron's having a nightmare!" Chas exclaimed, she then looked at her son "Aaron, It's alright, Sweetheart. Darling, wake up!"

"No! Robert, come back! Robert, please don't leave me with him!" Aaron screamed.

Robert heard the sound of Aaron screaming and he jumped out of bed, before he pulled on his shoes "I'm on my way!" He then ran out of the house and he sprinted towards the pub.

Chas put her phone down and she held onto Aaron's shoulders "Sweetheart, wake up! Aaron!"

Aaron continued to kick and scream as he thrashed around and cried. He ended up hitting his hand on the bedside table and a bruise slowly started to form.

Robert ran in through the back door and he ran up the stairs, he ran into Aaron's room and he rushed over to the bed. "Aaron!" He climbed onto the bed and he held onto Aaron's shoulders "Aaron, wake up!"

Aaron jolted awake and he trampled "He's back. He's here! He's gonna get me. Robert, please don't let him get me" he pleaded.

Robert scooped Aaron up and he cradled him in his arms "Gordon's not coming back and he's not here, Baby. I would never let anyone hurt you, it's okay now and you're safe now. You're safe now, Baby".

Aaron clung onto Robert and he cried into his boyfriend's chest "I'm scared, Rob. I don't want to have those memories".

Robert stroked Aaron's hair and he kissed his boyfriend's forehead "I know, Aaron. It's okay though and I'm gonna take care of you".

Chas sat on the bed and she stroked Aaron's hair "I'm sorry, sweetheart".

Aaron held Chas's hand and he smiled at her "It's not your fault. Please don't blame yourself, mum".

Chas smiled and she kissed Aaron's hand "My beautiful baby boy".

Robert cradled Aaron for a few before his boyfriend calmed down, "I'm not gonna leave you again. Never again".

Aaron sniffled and he nodded "I love you".

Robert kissed Aaron's head "I love you more".

"Impossible" Aaron smiled.

Robert smiled and he kissed his boyfriend's head "Nothing is impossible when we're together".

Once Aaron was completely settled, Chas kissed his head and then she walked back to her own bedroom. Robert climbed into bed beside Aaron and he held his boyfriend close, Aaron rested his head on Robert's chest and he held onto his boyfriend.

Robert stroked Aaron's hair and he kissed his boyfriend's head "I'm here and I'll take care of you. It's safe now".

Aaron nodded and he kissed Robert's chest, he closed his eyes and he fell asleep after a few minutes.

Robert continued to stroke Aaron's hair, he felt guilty that he had left Aaron on his own but he would make it up to him. He swore that he would make it up to his precious Aaron.
