This is a really sad chapter, well it was for me writing it, but it gets better at Robert's POV I promise :)
Aaron's POV
I was about to go into the back room of the Woolpack, when I heard Charity and Robert arguing. What the hell? I listened behind the door to see why. "Convince him to get that money, he's going to regret it!" Charity said. "It's his choice, not mine! If Aaron doesn't want that money then he doesn't have to have it" Robert argued. "But he's going to regret it so much, just try and twist his arm!" Charity argued back. "I love Aaron, I'm not going to manipulate him into doing something, I'm not like that anymore" Robert said, you could hear the anger in his voice. My heart wanted to explode at that sentence, Robert would openly say he loves me! I heard Charity say "Just do it! Come on Robert we both know that you want that money!", and Robert sighed. "It's not up to me if Aaron wants it or not. Of course I know Aaron might regret it in the future, but that's his choice not mine, Charity" I heard him say, and smiled to myself. "Pleaseee?" Charity pleaded, and I heard a big sigh from Robert. "Fine, I'll try and convince him to take the money-" Robert stopped as I stormed in. Why did I think he would be any different? "You think you can try and get that money, Robert? I don't want it, I'm not getting it. The old Robert manipulates people, you've 'changed'?" I yelled, using my hands to air quote. "You'll never change really, I don't know why I believe you, why I always believe you. You never will, and I want you out. We're over!" I yelled, and stormed back outside, and to our house. I'd nearly died inside. Robert had just stood there silently, a few tears trickling down his face. Why did I do that? I thought to myself as I sat down on the couch, my head in my hands. He'd only said he'd try and convince me after Charity had relentlessly nagged him. Why am I so horrible? Why did I get so angry? Why didn't I take it out on Charity, who deserved it? Why do I even bother? My thoughts turned darker and darker. I'd left a CD on in the stereo, in another room, and it was playing something, I knew it was by Twenty One Pilots. I slowly walked up to the bathroom, I could still hear the CD pretty loudly, and I rifled through the cabinet until I found a blade. I was screaming at myself in my head, and whispering "don't do this, you're strong, Aaron" repeatedly out loud. I could hear Truce' playing on the stereo, and I cried even more. I could hear the lyrics "Stay alive, Stay alive for me", and I dropped the blade into the sink. After a few seconds, I took it in my hand and gripped it purposely too hard as I binned it. The relief washed over me, and I wiped my face with my sleeve. My hand was bleeding slightly, so I pressed my hand against some kitchen towels and threw them in the bin too. My hand didn't need anything, for once, so I went and turned up the stereo more and drowned out my tears.
Robert's POV
"See? I knew I wouldn't do it, but noo, you had to try and push me" I yelled, before stomping out of the pub. I walked over to the bridge, and angrily threw stones into the river flowing underneath. I put my head in my hands, and thought. No wonder Aaron was angry, he probably heard that and thought I haven't changed. To be fair, I probably haven't, I'm still a terrible person...I'll try harder to change for you Aaron, I thought, and whispered "I'll try harder to change" to no one. Surely Aaron didn't mean what he said? I thought. I knew I needed to sort things out, so I started to head home. Once I got to the gate, I could hear music. I think it was Twenty One Pilots, but I wasn't sure so I closed the gate behind me and walked inside. "Aaron, are you okay?" I called out, closing the front door. I could her the tremor in my own voice, sounding like a wreck. To be honest I felt like a wreck. I didn't get a response, so I went into the living room to see Aaron sat on the couch, wrapping his arms around his legs and resting his chin on his knees. His eyes were red from crying and his face was a bright pink colour too. I felt a tear fall down my face as I walked into the room. I was right, it was Twenty One Pilots playing and the current song was Migraine. "I'm sorry for shouting at you" Aaron mumbled. "No its fine, I deserved it really, didn't I? Saying I'd try and convince you to take that money' I replied, sitting next to him, leaving a small gap between us. Aaron let his legs down, and said "But I knew you weren't going to. I was cruel for saying you've n-not changed, because you have, a-and I didn't mean it when I said you h-had to get y-your stuff...I'm so sorry Robert!", stuttering because he was crying. "Hey its alright, I know you didn't mean it, Aaron.......D-did you mean it when you said we w-were over?" I asked quietly, starting to stutter because of the lump in my throat. Aaron started to cry more, and exclaimed "Of course not, I-I mean if you still want me after t-today, I'm just so sorry Robert I shouldn't have shouted at you" and I hugged him, leaving the gap non-existent. Aaron wrapped his arms around my waist, crying into my shirt. "It's okay, I forgive you, no hard feelings okay?" I whispered, cradling him with one hand and playing with the back of his hair with my other. "I j-just don't know how to make it u-up to you" he mumbled, and I reassured him that it would be okay. Aaron hugged me tighter, and after a while it turned into a cuddle and Aaron fell asleep on my chest. I cuddled him and sighed happily, grateful that Aaron had understood. Soon enough, I started to fall asleep too.
Aaron's POV
It was a warm day, and I'd taken Robert to the beach that I love. Not many people were there, so it was pretty quiet. "I love spending time with you Aaron, you know that?" Robert said as he lay down a blanket on the warm sand. "I love spending time with you too, Rob" I replied as we sat down together. "Robert, I love you to bits. I never meant what I said the other day, I'd do anything for you, I promise" I said to him, looking into his blue/green eyes. They were sparkling at what I just said. "I love you so much too, Aaron. And I think we both know I'd do anything for you too" he replied, hugging me. I smiled, and hugged him back tight. We lay together on the blanket on the sand, and watched the waves softly overtake each other.
I woke up lay on Robert, who was asleep with a smile on his face. I wonder if his dream was as nice as mine? It was the first normal one I could remember in ages, and I hugged Robert slightly tighter and snuggled into him, careful not to disturb him. I could hear Car Radio by Twenty One Pilots playing on the stereo, and remembered that we hadn't turned it off. I laughed quietly to myself, and wondered what Robert was dreaming about.
Robert's POV
Me and Aaron were driving, I didn't know where. "Where are we going?" I asked. "That's for me to know and you to find out" he said, and I asked "Who says that anymore?", laughing. Aaron laughed too and shook his head at me. Eventually, we stopped at a cinema. "Soo...what are we watching?" I asked him. "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, I know you love that film" Aaron replied and I smiled. "You didn't have to take me" I said, as we got out of the car. Aaron locked it and walked round to my side. "I know, but I wanted to, and afterwards we can go and get something to eat" he replied and I smiled. "Thank you" I answered, and kissed him, before holding his hand, which made Aaron's eyes light up, making me smile.
I woke up to see Aaron hugging me and looking at me, smiling. "Sleep alright?" I asked. "Yeah. Had a nice dream for once, so that's alright" he replied ans I smiled back at him. "Me too" I answered, and Aaron just smiled more. "Do you want anything from the café? I was going to get a coffee" he said, and I thought for a second before replying "Can you get me an Americano please? And maybe, just maybe a slice of cake too" whilst smiling as innocent as possible. Aaron just smiled and laughed at me, before giving me a kiss and getting off of me to go out. "I'll be back in like 10 minutes" he said before going outside, and closing the door. I don't deserve you, I thought to myself. Seeing as Aaron was out getting us stuff, I decided to tidy up the house a bit, which included turning down the stereo and putting 'Blurryface' in instead, and wondering why we had so many Twenty One Pilots albums. Aaron came back and went to the kitchen, taking our slices of cake and putting them on small plates. I brought them into the living room, placed them down on the coffee table and handed Robert his Americano and drank my coffee. "Thank you" Robert said, sipping his drink. "No problem" I said, and we ate our cake in a comfortable silence and drank our coffees. I washed up the plates, and went to sit next to Robert when the door knocked. We both sighed in sync and started to laugh a little bit before I went and got the door.
Robert's POV
"Hi, Vic" I heard Aaron say, and Vic squealed. "Hiiiiii! Where's Robert? I've got my scan picture and I want to show you both!" She nearly yelled, and I heard Aaron laugh before saying "He's in the living room". Vic ran in and I stood up, for her to nearly flatten me with a big hug. "Alright?" I asked, laughing slightly. Vic instantly let go of me and handed the scan picture to me. "Awwwwwwww I'm gonna have a niece or nephew!" I yelled, and Aaron shook his head, laughing. "Let's have a look then" he said, and I passed the picture to him. "That's well HD innit!" He exclaimed, and Vic nodded. "you can see their arms and legs and you can see their head! My little baby awww!" She yelled, and hugged the both of us, jumping up ad down. "Do you want to go out later? We can go to a restaurant l, or just to the pub?" I asked Aaron. "Pub 'll be nice, as long as my mum doesn't peck our heads as usual" he replied, and we both laughed. "Sounds like a plan?" I asked and Aaron answered "Yeah" before kissing me. "Awww look at you too being all couple like" Vic cooed, and I laughed and shook my head as Aaron said "Are you going to freak out every time we kiss and hug or?" sarcastically, and Vic laughed and just nodded. Who would think that I could be this lucky?
