Aaron's POV

I woke up with a stinging pain. I looked down to see my sleeve and torso were soaked in blood. Robert was asleep but he could wake up any minute. I sneaked to the bathroom, taking off my shirt and wiping away the excess blood. I put a bandage around my chest, and another one around my arm, and quickly tip toed downstairs and put my shirt in the washing machine. I crept back up and I saw the bandages were soaked, again. I started to feel really faint, so I found a dark cloth and pressed it against my cuts. Literally just as I removed it to wipe away more blood, I felt a wave of terror as I heard a whimpering voice say "W-why did you do this again?". I turned round to see Robert staring at my arm and chest in horror.

"Aaron wake up!!" I heard Robert yell. I stopped crying, and looked at him through my blurred vision. I clung to him, grabbing his shirt and soaking it with tears. I couldn't stop crying. At least the stinging was gone. "Why were you crying?" He asked, stroking my hair. "I j-just, I-" I couldn't finish my sentence, and Robert was making Shhhh noises, doing his best to calm me down. He got up, and slowly went downstairs and made a hot chocolate. I came and got it, and I sat down next to Robert. He put his arm around me, and entwined his fingers with mine. I smiled, and looked at him and said "Thank you". Robert just smiled and gave me a quick kiss. I finished my hot chocolate, and we snuggled on the couch, with no idea what time it was.

Robert's POV

What was wrong with Aaron? He'd obviously had a nightmare. Maybe about Gordon? I don't know. At least he felt better now. We'd completely lost track of time because my phone went off, a reminder that I was going to get my cast off today. In two hours!! "Aaron its like 10:30 you know, we need to get ready to go to the hospital to get this thing off, finally!" I said, and Aaron helped me up and we went upstairs to get changed. We got in the car, and Aaron drove us to the hospital. For anyone else, I'd say that they were unusually quiet. But Aaron was always like this, so I guess he's alright now. He parked up, and we walked in and sat in the waiting room. "So will you still be ae to walk normally after so long?" Aaron asked, laughing as he nudged my arm. I laughed too, and said "Sure I will. I can also pick you up and carry you around so I wouldn't be laughing", and Aaron just shook his head at me and smiled. "Robert Sugden?" The nurse asked, and we stood up and went into the room. "Alright, just sit down on this chair and we'll get that cast off" she said with a smile, and I did as I was told. I rolled up my trouser leg and the nurse cut the cast off, and took an x-ray of my leg. "Just wait a minute" she said, and walked out of the room. "You can't pick me up, I've been eating a lot you know" Aaron said, and I laughed. "You haven't put any weight on, I can still carry you around" I replied, and Aaron laughed too. The nurse came back in, and smiled. "Your leg is all healed perfectly! There's some people here to see you though" She said, before a policewoman walked in. "Mr Sugden? I have a couple of questions about your hit and run incident" the woman said, before adding "Can you describe the car that hit you?". "All I can remember is that it was a black land rover" I replied. She scribbled what I'd said down, and asked "Do you know anyone in Emmerdale who owns a black land rover?". Before I could answer, Aaron muttered "Chrissie". The lady said "Aaron, we're not interviewing you, for once", and he just laughed I said "Yeah, Chrissie White. She lives at Home Farm". The woman noted what I'd said down, and stood up. "Thank you, Mr Sugden. We'll inspect Ms Whites' car. Goodbye, bye Aaron" she said, and as she walked out, Aaron yelled "See ya Sarah!". "How do you know her name?" I asked, chuckling. "Hello? Dingle. I know the police officers" he replied, laughing. "Come on then, lets go home" I said, getting up. It felt weird walking on both of my legs, but I quickly got used to it. I even drove us home.

Aaron's POV

I got out of the car and asked "Do you want to go to the pub? Haven't seen my mum properly for a bit". Robert nodded and just before I got to start walking I was swept off of my feet as Robert picked me up. "We're not doing this again, are we?" I asked, looking at Robert. "Yes, yes we are" he replied as he walked to the pub, laughing with me. We have to walk nearby Home Farm to get to the pub, and Robert put me down as we heard Chrissie shouting. "What the fuck?" I whispered, and Robert shrugged. We looked over to see two policemen telling Chrissie her rights, and Chrissie struggling in handcuffs as she started yelling "WHY ARE YOU ARRESTING ME? I HAVEN'T DINE ANYTHING, HE'S LYING!". One of the policemen said "We've found an indent on your car with blood that matches Robert Sugden's blood. This is your car, and you already said that no one else drives this car. You are found guilty of a hit and run". Chrissie spat at him and started screaming random things. I looked at Robert, who was already looking at me. "Now we have a reason to celebrate" he said, and I just laughed and shook my head. He picked me up again, and I started laughing as he carried me to the pub. Vic was working at the bar, and when she saw us come in she said "Well I see your cast is off", and Robert nodded enthusiastically. "Are you gonna let me down?" I asked, and Robert shook his head. "Oh, we're not talking now?" I asked again, and Robert shook his head again, before carrying me through to the back. "So, when are you going to let me down?" I asked, and Robert laughed and said "When you ask nicely". I just looked at him and said "You serious? Fine. Please will you let me down?", sarcastically. Robert shook his head, laughing. I rolled my eyes, and tried again. "Pretty pretty please will you let me down?" I asked, and Robert let me down. I sat down on the couch, and Robert sat next to me. "Bad move, Aaron" he said, and I didn't get a chance to answer as he started tickling me. "Robert stop it!" I shrieked, laughing. "Nope" he replied, and I got up and ran out to the pub, still laughing. Robert chased after me, and I could hear Vic laughing at us as we ran out of the pub. I got to the house, and had just enough time to get in and lock the door before Robert got there. "Okay, you can let me in now, I've left my keys in the house!" I heard Robert say from the other side of the door. I ran upstairs, got our duvet, and got Robert's keys. I hid behind the door, and pushed his keys out through the letterbox.

Robert's POV

My keys were pushed out of the letterbox, and I opened the door. I walked in, and Aaron wasn't anywhere I could see. "Aaron?" I asked, confused. I turned around to see Aaron, but before I could react I was tackled to the ground with a duvet wrapped around me. "I win!" He said, and I just laughed. "That's cheating. You have a duvet and I had nothing!" I replied, and he stuck his tongue out at me. "Real mature, Aaron. Seriously get off me" I added, laughing a bit. Out of nowhere, Aaron started leaving gentle kisses all over my face. "What's that for?" I asked. "Revenge for when you did it to me" he replied, and I started smiling smugly. "Mr Smugden" he said, and I just laughed. I gave Aaron a kiss and I felt him relax. Bad move. Instantly, I rolled over so that I was on Aaron, and I wrapped him up in the duvet and picked him up. "Why do you always have to win?" He asked, laughing. "Because I'm the best and you know it" I answered, carrying him around. "Please let me down?" Aaron asked as he looked at me. "Fine" I replied, letting him down. I picked up the duvet and turned to put it back upstairs, when Aaron jumped on me, like I was giving him a piggyback. I put the duvet around us both so he couldn't get down, and said "Two can play at that game Aaron", and he started laughing. "So I'm stuck here now?" Asked Aaron. "Yep, you're own fault though, isn't it?" I said, and we both laughed.
