Roberts POV

We walked through the pub, Vic and Aaron holding my hands. Everyone apologised, and Debbie even gave me a hug. "It'll get better, hun" she told me, and gave a sad smile. Vic found Adam and ran to him and their baby Scarlett (it was the only name I could think of), hugging Adam, crying into his shoulder. "Mummy why is everyone so sad?" Jack asked, he'd learnt to talk whilst they were all away. "They just miss your dad, now he's gone away" she said sweetly, kneeling to his height. Sarah ran over and hugged her brother, trying not to cry anymore for him. I hated this, I thought as I looked over at Vic bawling. "Come here" Aaron whispered, hugging me. I cried as he leant his head in the crook of my neck. I'd dealt with Andy's death surprisingly well, and this was one of the few moments that it had affected me properly. Chas served everyone a pint, and we raised our glasses up to Andy. "To Andy" everyone mumbled, half of them drunk. My phone buzzed in my pocket. I got a message. From Andy's number. It read "See you in hell". Confused and angry, I replied with "Who is this?". "Maybe I can get you an early death, you can join me. Wouldn't exactly be hard". Who would do that? Aaron walked over. "How are you?" He asked. I just turned my phone around to him, letting him read. "Why the hell would someone want to do that?!" He exclaimed.

Aaron's POV

I was furious. I could feel a wave of anger pass over me. Who is that disrespectful? Using a dead mans phone number? This time it was my phone that went off. "You and your boyfriend are going to pay". I showed Robert, completely baffled. I could see a tear slowly falling down his face. "I'll ring the number" I said, and rang it. "Hello? Who is this?" I asked. No answer. "Don't blank me". Again, no answer. "We're gonna find you". Nothing. Then they hung up. "Ugh, no one answered me. They answered the call, just didn't speak" I told Robert, and he nodded. We went through to the back room, me stopping to tell my mum. "We're just gonna go through the back, mum. It's too much for him, I guess" I told her. I wasn't lying really. She just nodded and patted my arm as she said "Alright love". I walked through to see Robert sat down, his hands running through his hair. Staring down at the phone. As I walked over, I saw messages popping up. "Can I see?" I asked, and he nodded. I picked it up. Scrolled to where I last read. "I've saved a special place for you", "You've not got long now", "Your little boyfriend can't even look after himself, nevermind a kid", "You'll pay for what you did", "Enjoy your limbs working for now", "Another car crash wouldn't seem too odd", "Good luck, Sugden" were all there. "Oh my god, Robert" I said, wiping my hand over my face. I put the phone down on the coffee table. "Can we just go home?" He asked in a small voice. Full of sadness. "Yeah, come on" I replied, helping him up.

Robert's POV

Aaron went straight up to bed. I didn't blame him, today has been eventful, depressing and tiring. I was about to go to bed as well, but my phone went off. The message woke me up properly. "I'm coming for your boyfriend" was all it said. "Who are you? What does this have to do with Aaron??" I text back. No response. I went to bed, holding onto Aaron in some sort of attempt to stop anyone taking him whilst I was asleep.

I woke up. Aaron wasn't there, so I panicked, remembering the threat I'd received yesterday. Getting up and throwing some clothes on, I ran down the stairs. "Aaron??" I called out. "I'm in here!" he called back, and I clutched my chest in relief. I ran through and saw him. "Oh thank god you're alright" I exclaimed. "Jesus Christ, Rob. Whatever happened?" He asked sarcastically. "I had another nightmare...about what happened" I told him, pointing down at his stomach. He lifted up his shirt, to reveal the bandage wrapped around his stomach, extra bandage all over one area. "The police will find him, don't worry" he reassured me. "They'll find him".

I sat up in an instant, and sighed in relief, realising it was just a dream. As the sun shines in through the windows I noticed was completely soaked in sweat, and heard my phone go off. It read "Go to the police and I'll make sure someone actually shoots you". In a panic, I turned to look at Aaron.

He wasn't there.
