Aaron's POV

"Robert, I need to get away, like by myself, just for a week or two" I said, sitting down with him in the pub. "Alright...is it me? Have I done something wrong?" He asked, concerned. "Its not you at all, its my mum. Look at her!" I said, raising my voice a bit. He looked over to see her staring at us. "Have you done anything?" He asked. "Not that I know of, but its annoying me! She never does it when I'm on my own!" I exclaimed, and Robert nodded. "She doesn't do it when I'm on my own, either. Where do you want to go?" He asked. I loved how Robert is so understanding. "I might go back to Ireland, that was nice" I answered. "Okay, do you want me to book a flight?" Robert asked. "Please, I'll ring my family" I replied, and Robert pulled out his phone as I rang them.

Robert's POV

"What time do you want to be on the plane?" I asked him. "Er...tomorrow" he said, and continued talking on the phone. I booked his flight and thought I'm gonna miss you. Aaron finished his call, and suggested "Should I go pack now?". "Yeah, better than doing it last minute" I replied, and we got up and walked out. I could feel eyes burning into the back of my head, and I didn't have to guess who it was. "I wonder what's up with Chas?" I asked, thinking out loud. "I have no idea, one minute she's fine and the next she's staring into our souls" he replied, and I nodded in agreement. What's her problem? We got inside, and Aaron yelled "Skittles!" before eating some on the table. "You're such a little scruff!" I exclaimed. "Yeah, but you love this little scruff" he pointed out, and I laughed and gave him a hug. "Right, I need to pack before I eat all of the table skittles" he stated, before running upstairs. I cleared away the 'table skittles' before Aaron could eat them, and sat down on the couch. It's going to be lonely, not having Aaron around for a couple of weeks, but if he needs a break then he can have a break. After a while, he came downstairs, and sat next to me, giving me a hug. "What time does the plane leave?" Aaron asked. "Er, 10.30" I told him. "I'm gonna miss you" he said, and I hugged him tighter. "I'm gonna miss you too, but if you need a break, then you can have a break" I pointed out, and kissed him. He kissed me back, and smiled.

Aaron's POV

After a while, there was a knock on the door, and me and Robert sighed. Robert went and got the door. "Where's Aaron?" I heard my mum say. Great. "Er, he's in the living room...why?" I heard Robert ask. A few seconds later, my mum strode in. "Hiya" I said, and noticed the look on her face. "Why are you off to Ireland?" She asked, arms folded. "Because you're being funny with me and Robert, giving us dirty looks" I told her, and added "Why have you got a problem with me and Robert all of a sudden?". She just walked off, and Robert followed her out, and I followed after them both. "What's your problem?!" Robert called out, and she turned around to face him. "You. You're my problem" she muttered. "What've I done?" He asked, confused. "You're not good enough for my son" she spat. "Mum, he's more than enough for me, I don't think you realise I love Robert and Robert loves me! Ugh, I cant wait for tomorrow" I yelled, and walked back inside, and went upstairs. "Ugh, thanks a lot, Chas" I heard Robert shout at her, walk back inside, and lock the door. "Aaron?" He called out. "I'm upstairs" I said, raising my voice just enough for him to hear me. He ran upstairs, and leant against the door frame to our bedroom. I was sat on the bed, fuming. "What's her problem?" Robert asked me. "I don't even know" I replied, standing up and walking over to Robert to hug him. I could hear his heartbeat, which calmed me down.

Robert's POV

Aaron hugged me, calming himself down. "Hey, at least you get a break from it all" I said, and he nodded. "I'm sorry she's being like this, I don't know what's up with her" Aaron mumbled. "It's okay, I'm used to her hating me" I responded, making Aaron laugh a bit. "Are you okay?" I asked him. "Not really, I just want to get drunk and hope that my mums joking, but then I'll have a hangover on the plane and that's not fun" he answered. I sighed, knowing I couldn't fix this instantly. "She'll come around" I reassured him, and hoped myself that she would. "Right. I need to stop sulking and print out my plane ticket thing" Aaron said, letting go of the hug and walking downstairs. I fell back on to our bed, and sighed. Why does Chas suddenly hate me? Have I done something? What if I've hurt Aaron and he hasn't told me? I haven't done anything as far as I know...wait I'm Robert Sugden I've probably done something! Oh no...I thought to myself as I rubbed my eyes. I ran my hand through my hair, as Aaron walked back in. "Got it!" He yelled, putting the paper on the desk and lying down next to me. "You alright?" He asked, putting his arm around me. "Are you sure I haven't done something? I just thought, maybe that's why your mum hates me again" I suggested. "No, Robert you've been amazing!" Aaron exclaimed, making me chuckle. "I doubt that" I said.

Aaron's POV

How can Robert doubt himself? I kissed him, and said "Come on", getting up and pulling Robert up too. "Where are we going?" He asked, curious. "We're going to the pub. And we're sorting this out before I go" I told him. "Er, okay?" He kind of asked, walking downstairs and outside with me. "What are you going to do?" He asked me, now confused. "We're going to fix stuff" I replied, walking down the road to the pub. When we got in, my mum walked through to the back, and Charity came out, saying "I don't think its a good time". "Its a perfect time" I said, walking around her, Robert following. We walked through to the back, and my mum sighed. "I don't really want a chat now" she said, sitting down on the couch. "Well, I do, so we're having that chat, ok?" I raised my voice. "What's Robert done?!" I asked, yelling now.

Robert's POV

"I just don't think he's good enough for you, love. Look how he's treated you!" Chas pointed out. I had treated Aaron shit, and I did feel terrible for it. I looked down at my shoes, disappointed with myself. "Yeah, but how much has he changed? Robert's been great and you were happy with us, what changed?" He asked. "He erm...he...I just don't like him!" Chas yelled. "Right. Well, bye" Aaron said, calmly walking out. "This isn't fair on Aaron. Don't be so horrible all the time" I shouted, and walked out after Aaron. "Are you alright?" I asked, touching his arm. "No. She's being unfair on you" he replied, looking down at the floor, so I pulled him into a hug. "No, she's being unfair on you, you don't need this" I said softly, and added "Hey, maybe she'll calm down when you're gone". Aaron nodded his head, and we stood hugging outside of the pub. "Right, come on, you're gonna have really bad jet lag when you're in Ireland if you don't get some sleep" I said, and we walked home, Aaron somehow calmer.
