Flashback on plane:
AJ slunk in to his chair.
Stupid Jason he thought to himself, It's okay. It wasn't your fault. He started it. Oh Jesus, I sound like I'm in kindergarten again! Just relax. It was Jason's fault. Oh, that idiot! He shouldn't of told them. He shouldn't of hit back!
he wiped the sweat from his brow, I'll just go back to LA. Everything'll be fine. I didn't need that job. I can make money another way.
It won't be fine. What if Jason was dead? He suddenly felt all self concious as if everyone was staring at him.
He tugged on his sleeve nervously What if he WAS dead?
He had to get out of here. He had to go back to his brother.
But the warning lights flashed and a air hostess approached him.
"We're about to take off, sir. Please take a seat."
Alistair looked around him. Everyrone was in their seats buckling their belts up.
"I..I uh need to get off."
The air hosetess looked at him strangely, "But you can't."
"I need to!" I need to see if he's okay!
"Sir, sit down." she said sternly.
"But-"
"You better sit down young man," said an elderly bald man sitting across from him. "Don't wanna be standing up while we take off."
AJ stared at him.
The bald man raised his eyebrow, "Well?" he gestured towards the seat.
AJ didn't know why but the guy had a way about him. Like whatever he said everyone had to obey. Like what he said was more important then Jason. So reluctantly he sat back down and did up his seatbelt.
"Thank you," muttered the air hostess, "Damn kids."
AJ stared after her. Oh God. Now what?
He'd phone Jason when he got back. Yeah, crappy plan but if he answers it has to mean he's alive, right?
And if he doesn't?
That's the point when AJ really started to worry. If Jason was in Sydney how could AJ make sure he was alright. Go on another plane? ALL the way back? No, even if he did it would be too late.
He bit his lip and his heart pounded. Could of been the anxieties of being on a plane or it could be the fear of what he had done to his brother.
His hands were sweating. And he rubbed them together anxiously.

Once in the air AJ tried to relax.
It's been ages. He has to be okay. Jason was always okay.
He swallowed, his mouth was dry. He needed a drink. Alcoholic.
Yeah, his underage drinking had been part of the cause of his visit to his brother. And the cause of some of his problems. But come on, one would be okay. Just for the flight. He saw the hostess give the guy a few seats in front of him an extra drink.
Now he had seen it, he wanted it. Badly. Just to numb a little bit. Just to calm him down. He breathed in. Well it would be stoopid to do it in public since he was so obviously underage. He grabbed his bag and sneakily went to one of the toilet cubicles.
He locked the door and took out a bottle from his bag. His dad's influence didn't do him any good. Dumb drunk.
AJ drunk the mini bottle down.
hmmmmm. Better.
By the time he was done he felt slightly dizzy and light headed.But that was okay, that was good. He was numb.
Hefell back in to his seat. The air hostess approached him again.
"What were you doing in there?" she demanded suspiciously.
AJ looked at her, "You ask all the passangers who need the bathroom that?"
She raised an eyebrow, "I don't trust you."
"Great. Join the club."
She frowned and snatched his bag.
"Hey!"
She opened it up and looked inside it. A CD player? A wallet? A few over bits and pieces....
"What's this?" she asked taking out a packet of crisps.
"Mmm. That's lunch." smirked AJ taking the bag.
She curled her lips angrily and threw the bag down.
"Hey! What happened to customer loyalty?" he called after her as she stormed off.
He smirked again and took out the remaining bottles inhis pocket.
*flashback sound:VROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*

Years before the crash~AJ's 8th birthday~
AJ got up home from school early. Yeah, it sucked having to go to school on your birthday but he didn't have a choice. Anyway he got through the day- just and burst through the door ready to finish off his day by perhaps having a slice of cake, if his mother had remembered to buy one, and opening his presents. He couldn't wait. He had asked for many years to have one of those games consoles all his friends were on about. He would feel special to have one. Everyone would be interested inhim and the attention would be on him for once.
But when he came through the door with a smile on his face he found his mum hugging his brother happily as if she was pleased with him.
"Guess what, Alistair. Jason won that award in basket ball."
{I've changed jasons age to 20 in the future so he'd be 12ish now}
AJ's expression fell. Jason, Jason Jason all the time!
He forced a smile but failled, "That's great," he muttered dropping his school bag to the floor.
Jason grinned triumphantly at AJ and showed him his shiny gold badge.
"I'm so proud," sqealed their mother, "I so need the camera!"
Had she forgotten this was AJ'S special day?
"So...what about me?" he asked trying not to sound selfish.
"Well, you can be in it if you must!" laughed their mother.
AJ stared up at them with sad eyes.
They had forgotten. Why had they forgotten?
"Oh.That reminds me."
AJ grinned. They were teasing, weren't they!
She got out a box with a big smile on a face.
AJ watched as she came over. Was this the gift he's wanted for so long? He guessed so.
"Here's a present for my special little guy."
AJ smiled again. He knew she wouldn't forget.
But shortly after he realised it was all wrong.
Their mother practically danced over and handedthe gift to Jason.
"I'm so proud of you." she kissed him on the forehead.
"Wow. Thanks, mom!"
He opened it as AJ stood there mouth open. Hurt.
And inside was none other than the games console.
"Oh my God!" Jason beamed, "Thank you so much!"
She laughed, "You deserve it."
AJ swallowed hard. Not how he had wanted the day to go.
Mom-" he said totally shocked. She had forgotten.
"Youcan play on it silly," she said, "cost me a fortune. I ain't getting you one each."
AJ clutched his fists. Once again the attention was on Jason. The better son. Her turned arounf feeling anger and hurt.
He wanted to be alone.

Heh. Good to know Gwen isn't the only one dealing with sibling rivalry. Nicely done.

[Hollywood Heidi]

Oh, poor AJ! That's so very sad. His own mum forgetting his birthday.

[ana]

Poor AJ.

[LostLuverJemmz]

Yeah, I'm trying to get the feel that sometimes he wants attention and other times he wants to be left alone. Anyway this is the result of too much of The O.C. ;D lol

~Flashback 3~ ;D

"It's broken," said the foriegn voice that made AJ shiver.
"What!?" demanded his mother angrily.
"It's broken," she tossed down her instrument on the table.
"So...what part?"
"Have a look," she said pointing into AJ's mouth, "This bracket is broken."
"Oh AJ!" snapped his mother.
"Sorry," he said.
"This is not good. This tooth," she advanced towards one of his front teeth, "It's bent back to where it started. That's a whole year of treatment gone."
"Well I don't know! I've never had a retainer before!"
The orthodontist sighed, "Well it's a fixed hidden one so it's going to be difficult. Options...we start over with the treatment. A new brace."
AJ tensed. Not a brace that everyone could see! He prefered his retainer's that no one could see and he didn't have to take them out.
"Or we could keep these retainers and cut off the broken piece to replace the whole bottom part with a new retainer."
AJ had to take this in. What?
"So you'll need to put a new bottom one in?"
"Yes. This is not good Alistair. That's a whole year of orthodontia."
He rolled his eyes, "You keep reminding me."
Another thing he had failed.
"I think we'll go with that option then," his mother said clearly in a pissed off tone.
The orthodontist was no happier, "Okay. So we'll make another appointment for Friday."
"Okay. Well thank you."
AJ got up and felt his head. He hated the damn dentist. Feeling dizzy every time he got up. His mouth being prodded and his teeth being tampered with.
Just because his teeth weren't 'perfect.'
He stood and grabbed his school bag and left the room without saying another word.
"Make an appointment as early as you can on Friday," the orthodontist said.
"Yeah, yeah." AJ retorted. He hated that woman.
He didn't stop until he was all the way at the car feeling the broken part of his retainer, "For God's sake! How was I supposed to know!" he said to himself as his mother came out of the orthodontist.
She gave him a little annoyed hit, "You don't run off like that!" she snapped.
"She was pissing me off."
"Well you're pissing ME off! Another bottom retainer! Can't you control yourself and look after it!"
"I didn't know!"
"Get in the car!"
AJ got in and slammed the door.
His mother sat at the steering wheel and started the engine, "We never had this trouble with your brother," she said as she reversed.
AJ rolled his eyes again, "Yeah. Whatever!"
"I mean, why you? I never needed a retainer! And your brother's teeth are perfect!"
He grit his teeth, "I-know."
"Oh why can't you be more like him. Polite and kind. He'd never embarrass me like that."
Why can't you be more like Jason?

Indeed we do. We pay a lot. And thanks for bringing back those lovely memories.

Poor AJ, trying to live up to his perfect sibling...

[LostLuverJemmz]

lol. Aw I don't pay for mine. I just thought that was relevant because that happened to me and I completely mucked up my retainer. Got it fixed now though

[Hollywood Heidi]

Heh, yup, we pay for orthodontia here as well. I had braces for a little over a year. Man that was a long time ago. I still have a built in bottom retainer behind the front of my bottom teeth and I still wear my top retainer at night even though my ortho told me, um, over 10 years ago that I didn't need to anymore. Kinda helps my teeth not to hurt in the morning because I press my teeth together hard while I'm sleeping. Don't know why I do that, but ah well.

[LostLuverJemmz]

really? lol. I have fixed ones and I had braces for about a year but I have hidden retainers now I have this habit where I stick my top teeth out at night. I don't know why I do that either and it's annoying 'cause it's not helping my teeth. I hope I get them out soon. I've been going to the orthodontist so much they've got me chipping in for staff birthdays!

[ana]

Well, I can't sympathise here. I never had a brace.

But can I just say, AJ's brother is a hottie

[Natz]

Thats the actor who played Ryan's brother from the OC. And the mum also played Ryans mum.
Scotts character Scott is Ryan (Ben McKenzie.)
I guess Jemma wanted an OC feel for her character

[LostLuverJemmz]

Sure did. Logan-Marshall Green (there's his name for you.) Hey, I just found out he has a twin brother! You're in luck Ana-Lucia ;D lol

[drewdeburg]

Oh, unlucky AJ! Dental treatment sucks. I had to get some done the other week. But whilst everyone else gets fillings and braces etc. I get different stuff, eg BTC and RCW, as my dentist calls them.
