Chapter 4: A Dad's decision.
Sitting on the couch Pam is comforting a confused Tiger, resting her arm on his shoulder, Aaron is just being overwhelmed with emotions, Shamus comes in and walks into the living room and sits down on a couch near his parents.
"Y...you wanted to see me dad" Shamus asks
"Son, who was that person you were holding hands with?" Aaron asks
"I...it was a friend dad i swear" Shamus answers back with fear in his voice.
"Son be honest with your dad and me, who was it?" Pam asks her son reassuring him by placing a hand on his shoulder.
Just as Shamus was about to answer the fone rings and its Mary, as soon as Shamus hear that its Mary he is thinking that Mary is going to ask for Justin.
"Hey is Shamus there?" Mary asks
Aaron puts the phone on speaker as Mary's voice is heard by all three of them.
"H...Hey Mary, you asked for me?" Shamus asks.
"Oh hi babe, I just wanted to say that it was great fun shooting hoops with you and Justin yesterday, and thank you for holding my brothers hand, he still gets kinda scared of walking on the sidewalk by himself since our aunty got killed by a hit and run...anyway see you tomorrow love you *click*"
Shamus just stands there stunned at what he just heard, Aaron lets out a sigh of relief hearing a girls voice call Shamus babe.
"Wow son I thought you were gay for a second" Aaron says as Shamus laughs and walks up to his room. Shamus immediately calls up Mary.
"Hey thanks for saving my ass back there"
"Its ok Justin told me everything"
"Justin? how did he know?"
"You talk in your sleep, you know that right" Justin answers standing by the doorway.
Downstairs though Aaron and Pam are conversating over the whole ordeal.
"So what if our son was gay? Would you love him any less?"
"I don't know Pam, the only way we would be able to find that out is if i heard it from his own mouth that he was or not" Aaron admits putting his knuckle in his mouth.
As time passes Justin and Shamus go downstairs to greet the pack and lets them know that they will be going out for a late night game of basketball.
"Ok, dont be out to late" Vienna calls from the kitchen as Justin and some of the other boys go out and down the street to the local park.
They finally get to the park and notice the lights are on, seeing that as a sign they break off into teams and begin playing a game.
Shot, after shot the points are racking up, and the pack members are just having a blast, that is until music is heard and a few who's come out of the cars with rags hanging from their pockets.
"So what Jarvis, is this the queer that you seen walking hand in hand with his boyfriend?" one of the Who says pointing to Shamus.
"Yeah thats him, the faggot that was holding hands with his boyfriend on our street" Jarvis says.
The pack members all look at Shamus who has his head hung low tears streaming down his face. As the punks begin to walk towards Shamus, The pack members stand infront of him.
"Gay or not, he is family and I will be damned if I let you even lay a finger on him" Justin says
"Hey arent you that pop singer? Oh this night just gets better and better" Jarvis says pulling a knife from his pocket.
"I...I know you guys are ashamed of me so you guys can just leave, I wouldn't blame you for leaving me" Shamus says his head still down.
"Shut it Shamus, we never did judge anyone in the family and we dont plan on doing it now" Hawk says.
"Hey get away from my boyfriend" Mary says running to Justin's side.
"Mary get out of here its not safe" Justin pleads.
"Marybeth does not run from a fight" Mary says putting her hair up in a bun cracking her knuckles.
"I never hit a girl, but there is a time for everything I guess" A who says also pulling out a blade.
"You know what even if my dad does not accept it, I am gay and I am glad that you guys accept me" Shamus says putting on his gloves which now has spikes on it.
"That's all I wanted to know" A voice says behind the punks.
Just as Jarvis turns around he sees a large group of people standing behind them.
"And just who the fuck do you think you are?"
"I am the father of that kid that you called faggot, how old are you?" Aaron asks
"21" Jarvis says.
"Thats all I needed to know" Aaron says putting on his gloves. Mana brushes his hair and smiles, Jojo lowers his mask, Koa puts his pacifier in his mouth, and here comes, Damien, James, Zeke,Seth,Vienna, Pam, Lehua, Austin, and even Zeke's friend Spike comes to support all of them carrying black bats with hoodies on. Next thing everyone does is drop when they hear a loud gun shot, When they finally looked up Jarvis and his friends are gone. And laying on the ground is Shamus wrapped in Justin's arms.
