Heart of the Sherriff

One: Pain & Dreams

Stephen was the youngest boy of the Callaway Brothers and had big shoes to fill because of his father. His parents were protectors both of them, each in their own way and sometimes he couldn't believe how lucky he was to have them. But it took them some time for them to know that he knew what his biological mother did to Mark. Both of his parents never spoke ill of his birth mother or father.

But he knew that his mother had caused great pain to his Father Mark. He knew thanks to the town gossips Becky and Wanda letting their tongues loose that his mother had been Mark's first wife and that she had betrayed his father. It hurt at first to know and his Momma Lily had given both Becky and Wanda one of the worst tongue lashings anyone had ever seen when she found out. But it seemed just like his brothers that he had that protective gene in his veins that his Dad Mark showed even if they weren't his biologically.

Maybe that was the reason he was the hardest of the Callaway boys to do anything about. Stephen could see since forever that John and Mickie, Randy and Kelly were meant for each other. He would always tease his brother's in good fun about it. But for him, his love was the town itself. There was a reason he choose to be the Sherriff of the town since he was little. He didn't want to be weak, to protect those that couldn't protect themselves. It was his dream to wear that badge with pride. But unlike his brothers he wouldn't show his heart to easy.

Arianna was not exactly the pride and joy of her parents. No they wanted a boy, a boy to continue her father's business a boy that would be like him. When they got a girl and found out her mom couldn't have another one or she would be in risk of dying, well they were pissed. Or so her nanny the one she got after her favorite one left told the other maid. When Alberto came to her life as an older adoptive brother, well she was happy. Alberto was always nice to her and took her of her and cuddled her when their parents would come at her hard. Alberto and only a few people that she could count in her right hand knew the real her. The other ones just knew the mask. She found her solace in words, in stories and she never minded that.

"You know what they say about your mom right?" David Otunga one of his classmates asked.

"Don't talk about my mom." Stephen told them.

"He is not talking about Lily." Heath told him.

"No, I'm talking about your real mom not your adoptive mom; I don't even know why she would adopt someone like you." David told him.

"Shut-up!" Stephen told them because even at sixteen there was a part of him that questioned that.

"What are ya three doing?" Wade asked.

"Don't get involved in this Wade." Heath told the other boy.

"We're talking about the whore the real mom of Stephen is." David told them. "Plus I heard Lily was engage before she married your Dad maybe she is a wh…." He didn't get to finished because Stephen had already landed the blow. Heath was about to get in but Wade pulled him back.

"Naw man, David asked for it, let 'im be a man and handle his own problems." Wade told him.

"Don't ever talk about my Mom, the biological one or my adoptive Mom because if we go there everyone knows exactly what your mother does for a living and it isn't selling magazines door to door." Stephen said and walked away.

"Stephen wait up." Wade said.

"I don't want to talk about it Wade." Stephen said.

"Not asking you to talk about it Sheamus, just don't let his words get ya man, you know how David is." Wade told him.

"You know that just makes me feel worst because I know exactly how he is and I let him goad me." Stephen told him.

"I guess, where are you going?" Wade asked him.

"Home, John is here." Stephen told him.

"Well good luck."

"Thanks Wade see you tomorrow." Stephen told him.

"Please if John is home I won't see you until he leaves, everyone knows the trouble you Callaway boys get into." Wade screamed after him causing him to laugh.

Stephen made it home and he walked into the woods avoiding his parents and found Randy and John sitting down. Randy looked pretty pissed off.

"Guys." He said.

"Hey kid want a beer?" Randy asked and gave him one. Stephen shrugged and drank with his brothers.

The next day Stephen was woke up by the sunlight hitting his face and cold water splashing on him.

"Ah!"

"See dear that is what happens when you get drunk." Stephen heard Mark said.

"I know Daddy." He heard Jaylee answered. Stephen looked up to see his mother taking photos.

"I would really hope you three made it home." Lily told them.

"Do you have to take pictures Mom?" John asked.

"Yes, future blackmail material." Lily told them with a smile. "Now get up I already have a warm breakfast and Grandpa Aiden's cure for the hangover you three must be feeling."

"Thank-you mom." The three boys answered.

"Oh, you three do know that your father is going to be dishing out punishments after breakfast right." Lily told them and all three boys slumped down.

'Hey you three thought it good to get drunk now face the consequences." Mark told them. "Now let's hurry the stables aren't going to clean themselves."

Los Angeles, California

"Come on you have to make it." Arianna heard someone whispered to her. She tried to open her eyes but they were heavy. Her body was heavy all she could feel was pain. "Ari come on." She knew that voice it was Alberto's. He was holding her hand and he as squeezing it as if something was wrong.

"Berty." She whispered but her throat hurt.

"Ari you're okay, you awake." He told her. Arianna opened her eyes to see that Alberto had cuts around his face and his left arm was in an arm-strap. She looked around with her eyes and saw that she was in a hospital room. She couldn't move her neck.

"What…"

"Shh…don't move much okay you took a big hit." He told her.

Arianna began to tremble and her heart spiked before Alberto was calling the nurses.

"Our parents?" she asked. Alberto didn't answer as the nurse administered anesthesia. The last thing she swathe guilty expression in Alberto's eyes and told her she didn't want to know where their parents were.

Arianna and Alberto were standing next to each other; Arianna was sitting down on the wheelchair she had to be one because of them. She looked at the tombstones and she wanted to scream. She could see people looking at both of them Arianna wanted to scream at them tell them to leave from there that they weren't needed with their fake smiles.

"Tell them to leave." Alberto told their nanny and she looked scandalize. She never cared either.

"Fire her after this." Arianna said. People began to leave looking at them with pity and Arianna hated those stares, she hated everything. Once it was only them Arianna threw the flower at the graves.

"It was your fault!" she screamed and tears were running down their face. "You never cared and now, now you don't get to leave like that." She said and got to her knees even if it was painful.

"Ari, he 'they' are not going to hurt you anymore." Alberto held her in his arms as she sobbed her pain out.
