Chapter 21

"Shanice! Don't do that!" Jack screamed as he hurried over to where Shanice was about to play with the socket in the wall.

"FIRE!" Eric yelled running out of his bedroom wrapped in a towel with ducks printed on it.

Joshua Matthews who sat on the couch playing Mario Bros. on Eric's Nintendo 64 looked up at his oldest brother and laughed.

Eric turned to his table nearby and grabbed a Scooby-Doo stuffed animal off of it and chucked it making his destination, hitting his little brother on the arm.

"Eric!" Joshua whined holding his elbow where Scooby hit.

"Aww little Joshy just playing with you buddy." Eric plopped down and hugged his barely 5 year old little brother. "I've missed you my little chick magnet." he continued as Joshua focused once more on the screen.

At that same moment Jack came from the hallway with a giggling Shanice in his hands. She had not a care in the world that Jack was freaked out still.

"What was all the commotion Jumbo Jack." Eric laughed remembering his childhood nickname looking at the sweat running down Jacks forehead.

"DUDE!" Jack glared at Eric.

"Dude, it's hilarious, you look shell shocked like Shanice has you on a high speed chase."

"Eric you're telling me this is a piece of cake? Watching Shanice? She's so active."

Eric got up from the couch and walked past Jack into his bedroom. He threw on a pair of sweatpants and an old Phillies shirt.

"Well Jack." he reached for Shanice upon his return who eagerly went to him. "Ric" she squeals as she lays on his shoulder. "My niche and I have a special bond." Eric continues as Shanice immediately begins to fall asleep. "You as the cousin have to just baby-sit a bit more and you'll find your bond. She's not that hectic, she's just like me."

Eric laid the now sleeping Shanice in her travel bassinet that Mrs. Matthews bought her while Jack stood in shock with his mouth wide open.

"Un…be…lieva…..ble, how did you do that?"

"Aww Jumbo Jack, don't look so confused. I've got the niece for it."

"Eric you mean niche."

"Ummm Jack no my niche is sleeping right now. I swear you and Feeny sometimes." as he motioned a sign for drinking with his hand.

Jack opened his mouth but just shook his head making a mental note that this time he was going to seriously search for a new best friend.

Eric patted Josh's leg. "Come on Joshy time for lunch. Mom will kill me if I forget to feed you."

Josh got up and eagerly followed his big brother.

"Man you've always had a way with kids, I've never told you but you would've really been awesome if you had of adopted Tommy."

"Thanks Jack, at least we still talk and he's doing good. Going to middle school, its crazy. But you're going to be great when Rach pops out some little rugrats herself."

Jack smirked. "I can't even get Shanice to fall asleep."

"Jack think about it, Shawn was blind sighted with Shanice but before his accident he was doing pretty good. Still is even though I know he is frustrated not being able to run around with her."

"True but him being able to hold his leg up is a great sign of things to come. I hope Avery is able to let him know what to do to keep progress rolling."

Shawn glared at the two people in front of him. "What the fuck is going on?" he said in the calmest tone he could muster.

'It's not what it looks like." Angela threw his hands up in surrender. "But I would like to know what the hell that was about my damn self Avery!"

Avery threw his hands up in defeat as he backed up into the wall. "Shawn man I'm sorry, thought you guys were through. You haven't said anything about her and I heard Cory on the phone the other day talking about you guys situation."

He turned and looked at Angela. "Plus you've been giving me the eye a time or two and you know it."

Angela was stunned. Heat began rising in her throat as she fought back tears of anger. She felt as if someone was playing a practical joke on her that she didn't find funny at all.

"What the hell do you mean I gave you the eye! How old are you to even say something like that? It's called being polite."

Avery stepped back a few steps as he shrugged.

Shawn glared back and forth but settled his eyes on Angela with ice in his eyes. All his insecurities showing their ugly heads.

Cory stood frozen with his mouth wide open.

"Angela." Shawn began. "Seriously, what is going on? Giving him the eye?"

Angela gaped at Shawn. "Wow, you can't be serious." she said as she starred at Shawn who was not giving in. "Screw this, not going to plead with you. This is bullshit." She turned and walked towards the other side of the room to grab her scarf that she left in the seat and to head out the side door steadily mumbling under her breath.

Cory snapped out of his trance. He looked and figured out how Angela was trying to escape.

"Shawn, come on you know her. If its anyone's fault its this ass right here!" He gestured towards Avery. "We have to stop her." he began to move the wheelchair.

"CORY STOP! Let her go." Shawn who seemed to change the direction of his anger now was shooting daggers at Avery who was looking as if he wanted to escape himself but didn't really see a way out.

"Shawn, I have to step out." he began.

"NO! Were going to settle this now!" Shawn yelled as he leaned up in his chair praying to get the strength to move his legs and get up. Avery wasn't getting away with this.

Cory was torn. He could sense the growing tension between the two men and didn't want Shawn to hurt himself. After a few moments he gave up trying to get Shawn and turned heading out of the door behind him when he saw Angela head out of the other.

"ANGELA!"

Angela stopped a few feet away from the front door to the center and slowly turned around. "WHAT Cory!"

"Please don't go."

She threw her hands up in the air. "Don't go! Why should I not? I should not have to justify myself. He should know by now. Why would he look at me as if I was a liar?"

Cory stood with his mouth open. "I know that's not what he meant. He had to be stunned."

"Cory, no covering up for him this time. I came here to see him! If he doesn't believe me off the back what is the point?"

Cory grabbed her hand in desperation. "But he loves you, you know that."

Angela pulled her hand away. "Well then why is he not out here pleading for himself rather than you? Huh?"

Cory was at a loss for words.

"Exactly." Angela said as she turned and headed out the door leaving Cory with his mouth hanging open.
