A/N- Alrighty! Thanks so much to all my reviewers. You guys are all really great. I'd appreciate it if I actually got a name with my review, Annonymous. Not that you have to, it's just easier on my part to know that the person reading my story has a name and stuff. I've just got a thing about it. I never sign annonymous reviews, I think that authors and reviewers should have a friendship and you can't exactly have any kind of relationship with some one who you don't even knows name.
Disclaimer- y'know I don't own none of the superstars. I own Glen and Scott, but that's about it.

Summer in Cameron
Three weeks later, Thursday (co-written by Hearts Desire)
-----------------
Amy opened the door and squealed happily when it was Adam and Shane standing in front of her. She quickly gave him a hug before leting her two friends into the crowded house. It seemed like the whole city was in the house, though there was probably only their neighborhood and a few people from neighboring ones. Maybe around fifty people. Shane looked around the living room and as far as he could into the crowded kitchen.
"Where're Jay 'n Shann?" he asked.
"Um, I think they went out back with the Hardy's." Amy giggled, wrapping her arms around Adam's neck from her spot at his side.
Shane nodded, "Have fun, you two!"
Shane pushed his way back out of the living room and walked around the side of the house and through the back. He stopped and said hello to a few people before making it to the trampoline where Shannon and Jeff were jumping while Matt and Jay looked on, laughing at what the younger men were saying.
"Hey!" Jeff called breathlessly.
Shannon quit jumping and turned to Shane. "Hey, Shaney! What's up?"
"You seem to be in a much better mood from a little while ago."
"Well, that was before I got my Jay-Jay." Shannon giggled, beginning his jumping again.
"So, you guys been busy lately?" Shane asked Matt.
"Yeah, Daddy needed us to help out around the house for a while. Jeff wanted to go to your house yesterday, but it was way too late." Matt replied, watching as Jeff and Shannon resumed to trying to knock each other off their feet.
"Ah."
"So where'd my brother head off to?" Jay asked, tearing his eyes away from Shannon.
"He's with Amy."
Matt and Jay "oooh'ed", which had become a habit in any conversation involving Adam and Amy. Shreiks errupted from the trampoline as Jeff finally pinned Shannon down and was now tickling him ferociously.
"Jeff! Jeff, stop it!" Shannon managed to get in between gasps and laughter.
"No, not till you surrender!" Jeff argued.
Jay laughed as well, for a little. To be honest, he was a bit uneasy with Jeff and Shannon's relationship. Even though Shannon insisted that he and Jeff were just friends, best friends, Jay couldn't help but think that there was, maybe still is, a bit more. Jeff and Shannon were always playfully shoving each other back anf forth, or whispering to each other, or laying together or by each other, or things like that. It really made Jay somewhat uneasy.
Shannon finally managed to shove Jeff off of him and regain his control.
"Jay baby, come get on with us." he said, starting to jump up and down in place again.
"No, that's okay, Shann. I'm fine on the ground."
Shannon jumped to the springs, jumping back in a backflip like thing and nearly crashing into Jeff. Jeff laughed and shoved Shannon slightly out of his way, repeating the move Shannon had just done.
"Oooo, look who's finally come to join us." Jeff laughed as Adam and Amy walked from the house, holding hands and making their way through the crowd.
Amy turned on the stereo on her way over to the trampoline with Adam in tow. She smiled at her friends, "Hey guys. Glad you could make it."
"No prob, Aimes." said Matt.
"Yeah, we wouldn't miss it." Jeff said breathlessly.
"Not for the world." Shannon added.
"Yeah, I was thinking that we weren't going to be having too much more time together so we might as well use it while it lasts!" Amy replied, "How much longer are you two going to be here?"
"About three more weeks." said Jay, still watching Shannon and Jeff play on the trampoline.
"Hey, Amy, darling, would you mind helping Troy bring in the food from the house?" Amy's mother called over the noise of the party.
"I'll be right back." Amy whispered to Adam, letting go of his hand and following Troy into the house.
Shannon and Jeff had gotten back into a brawl on the trampoline, once again ending up with Jeff over Shannon, tickling the little blonde.
Jay felt himself start getting uncomfortable again, but shrugged it off. Suddenly, Shannon quit laughing, no matter that Jeff was still tickling him for the time being. Then, Matt stopped talking to Adam and Shane and Jeff also stopped what they were doing. Shannon and Jeff climbed to their feet.
All four men's eyes were locked on a tall, dark haired man and another man, walking with him, as the two walked through the party. The taller man looked over immediatley locking eyes with Shannon, whose mouth had opened slightly as he watched the pair walk by abotu tweny-five feet away.
Shannon swallowed harshly, hoping against hope that the men they were watching didn't come over to him. When the two men were relatively out of sight, Matt, Jeff, Shannon, and Shane turned back to Adam and Jay.
"Who were they?" Adam dared to ask once everything seemed to calm down.
"That was Glen and Scott." Shane explained, "They must have heard about this from someone."
Shannon let his breath out slowly and looked to the ground. Jay caught it and walked to the edge of the trampoline.
"It's okay. Climb down here." he said, holding out a hand to Shannon.
Jeff walked over and helped Shannon hop down, as well before jumping off himself. Jay wrapped his arm arouns Shannon's shoulders.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah. It was just...weird, ya know."
"Hey, ya wanna go get something to drink?" Matt asked, "That jumping must get you thirsty. And I could definatley use a drink after seeing Scott and Glen."
+-+-+-+-+
Shannon, Jeff, and Jay took seats on one of the logs around the huge campfire in the fire pit. All of their neighbors had either taken seats on the other log benches or were standing around them, talking and laughing. Shannon picked away at his burger, Jay ate his quietly, while Jeff dug in to his greedily.
"Man, I nedda go to the bathroom." Jeff said loudly, getting up.
"Yeah, me, too." Jay sgreed, knowing that there were two upstairs bathrooms in Amy's house, "You gonna stay out here?"
"Yeah." Shannon said, studying the fire intently, and Matt and Shane's shadows dancing in it.
Jay patted Shannon on the shoulder, heading into the house with Jeff. A few seconds later, Shannon could hear someone coming back up behind him.
"This seat taken?"
Shannon looked up, his eyes going wide again, anger taking plac in them. "What do you want, Glen? Scott?" he asked, noting that Scott was standing behind Glen.
"Is this seat taken?" Glen repeated, not waiting for an answer, sitting down next to Shannon.
"Yeah. It is taken. My boyfriend is sitting there."
"Well, he is now." Glen smirked.
"I'm not dating you, Glen, I never have and I never would."
"Oh, come on Little One-"
"You aren't allowed to call me that." Shannon said, cutting Glen off.
Glen laughed a little bit, Scott taking the seat Jeff had previously occupied.
"Aw, is that only reserved for special people?" Scott mocked, "Wasn't I special to you once?"
"You were. Until I found someone who actually cares about me." Shannon repled, amazed that he had lasted so long under the pressure of having Scott around him.
"What? That little Canadian punk?" Glen asked, "I'm so sure."
"He does. You know he does. That's why YOU are jealous. And that's also why you are bugging me right now. Now, leave me alone."
"Hey, watch what you're sayin' there, midget." Scott growled, grabbing Shannon harshly by his neck.
Shannon cringed in pain, but tried to shove Scott's hand off of him. "I said leave me alone, Scott. And you, too, Glen."
Scott tightened his grip on Shannon's shoulder, but Glen shook his head. He then took Shannon's face in his palm.
"Now, now, listen, Little One. You don't wanna back talk to ol' Glen and Scotty, do ya?"
Shannon glared, feeling him tense under Glen's glare, but not wanting to show weakness by turning away. "Quit it, Glen, and let me go. I'm seeing someone."
"Listen here," Glen growled, getting angry.
Shannon tried to keep up his sheild, but with Scott's and Glen's heated glares on him, it was ahrd not to shudder. "Listen," Glen repeated, his nails digging into Shannon's tender flesh, "You-"
Shannon smacked Glen's hand away, standing up, hoping to get Matt and Shane's attention, but noone else's since he didn't want to start a scene. Unfortunatley, Glen was about to for him. Glen gripped Shannon's wrist, covering his mouth with the other hand and dragging him off towards the woods. Jeff and Jay returned from the restrooms just in time to see Scott stalk off. Jeff watched Scott disappear and shook his head.
"I don't see why he needed to come-- oh shit." Jeff said, cutting himself off.
Jay looked to where Jeff was looking: the seat where Shannon had been sitting was empty. Jeff and jay dashed over to where their other friends were sitting and Jeff whispered quickly in Shane's ear. Shane shook his head angrily, squaring his shoulders.
"When the hell is he ever going to leave Shannon alone?" he grummbled, getting up.
"Well, I think that after it finally hit him that I was not going to do..." Jeff trailed off, Shane could tell he had an idea.
"What?"
"I was just thinking that maybe....no, Shannon wouldn't be up for it. He just isn't like that."
"What?" Matt asked, getting curious.
"Well, maybe if we could get Shannon to act like he's going to go along with Glen and Scotty,-"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait." Jay interupted, "If there's anything I know about Shannon is that he really does like Scott. He's doesn't have to be single to still feel bad about his last relationship."
"Sides, Jeff, what if he gets too in to it. What if Glenn and Scott get too in to it?" Shane asked, knowing it could very well happen.
"Let's just go get him, first of all. We can talk later. What if he's already gotten too deep in it?" Matt asked, getting up.
Jeff, Shane, Jay, and Matt ran off in the direction that Jay and Jeff had seen Scott go off in. There was only about one place that Scott, and Glenn, and Shannon had most likely gone to and that was Glen's group clubhouse in the middle of the woods by Amy's house. Amy and Adam looked up from where they were sitting, away from the group. Adam arched his eyebrow, but didn't do anything.
"What's the matter?" Amy asked, noting the change in Adam's posture.
"Nothing, it's just, I was wondering where the guys were going off to."
"Well," Amy said, scooting away a little from Adam, "If you want to go with them, you can."
"No. No, I don't wanna go with them. I want to stay with you."
Amy blushed a bit, scooting back over so she was sitting leg-by-leg with Adam. Adam wrapped his arm around Amy's waist. She snuggled into his shoulder, watching the fire again.
"Oh, look, look, look!" Adam said quickly, pointing upwards.
"What?"
"Shooting star! Make a wish."
Amy rolled her eyes, "That's childish."
"No it's not. I did."
"Oh alright." Amy closed her eyes tightly, her head tilted to the sky, 'I wish..."
*~
Jeff, Shane, Jay, and Matt climbed up the ladder to Glen's clubhouse quickly. Jeff and Jay were about to push themselves right inside of the wooden house, but Shane put his arm out. They inched their way around the porch-like part of the clubhouse until they got to the one window of it. A black curtain hung loosely in it, but it was parted just enough for them all to be able and see through it.
"Sh, don't do a thing." Shane whispered, "I'm sure they won't be doing anything bad. And if they do anything ,then, THEN, we'll go in there. We've all heard about Glen. The guys been arrested seven times. And last time we tried to help Shann get away from Glen and Scott, I believe it was Jeff with the concussion and me with a broken foot."
Jeff and Jay moved enough so they could see more inside of the clubhouse. Glen was standing on one side of the room retacting a skull and crossbones picture. Scott was on the other side of the room, getting something from the refridgerator. Probably a beer. Shannon was sitting on the floor, cross-legged and scowling.
"Right." Glen sighed as Scott handed him a drink, "Like I was saying before-"
"Fuck you, Glen." Shannon interrupted.
Glen snickered and got in Shannon's face, "Such a temper you have."
"Damn straight, now let me get out of here. I wanna go hang out with Jay. You know, my boyfriend. Just like I've been telling you ALL NIGHT."
Scott threw his empty bottle at the wall, causing it to shatter into a dozen peices. Shannon flinched as the bottle had hit just near his head, the peices falling near his shoulder and leg.
"You couldn't getta boyfriend if you stood on the corner naked!" Scott laughed, Glen also joining in.
"Lay off." Shannon snapped, starting to get up.
Glen shoved him down by the shoulder, "Did I say you could get up?"
Jay lurched forward, wanting to get in there and Shannon out. Jeff put his arm up. "Shannon'll be alright." he whispered, "If I know Shannon, an dI do, then he'll handle himself."
"I sure hope you're right." Jay whispered back.
"I am."
Shannon glared at Glen again, "I hate you."
"You love me." Glen whispered, leaning forwards at Shannon.
Jay shook his head, 'why the hell weren't they going in there?!' Glen went to kiss Shannon, but Shannon turned away, garnering himself a slap to the face for his actions.
"You know, Moore, I'm getting really sick of you doing that."
Shannon arced his eyebrow again, "Then let me go."
"I don't think so."
"I don't even know why I'm letting you keep me here. Now, I'm leaving." Shannon said sternly, climbing to his feet.
He was about half way to the door when Scott blocked it and shook his head.
"Move out of the way." Shannon said, angrily.
Glen grabbed Shannon by the shoulder harshly, causing Shannon to yelp in pain and Jay to jump again, this time Jeff even second-guessing why they weren't doing anything.
"I'm going in there. Jay and I, you can caome to, but Shannon's not staying in there any longer. I don't want to see him hurt and I'm willing to get hurt for him." Jeff said, "Me and Shann are too close. I'm not letting Glen hurt him again."
Jay nodded, getting to an upright position. He and Jeff quietly made their way around the clubhouse. When Jeff looked behind him, he noticed that Matt and Shane were also behind him and smiled. Shannon yelped again, signalling that Glen had probably tightened his hold on his shoulder. Jeff pounded on the door, causing Scott to move out of the way.
"What do you want?" Glen glared.
"We wanna take Shannon back to the party. If you don't mind." Jay replied. "He is my boyfriend after all." he added, feeling himself fill with pride.
"I do mind." Glen snarled, "Scott does, too."
"I don't care about Scott. I don't care about you. I care about Shannon."
"Fine." Glen said, unceremoniously thrusting Shannon towards his friends.
Shannon looked at him. Something was up. Why would Glen go through all of this and just let him go when everyone got in there? Then Shannon noticed the look in Glen's eyes, Scott's too as he inched away and towards Glen. Jeff turned around and jumped.
"Dad." he sighed, "What're you doing here?"
"I need to take you all home. We all need to talk. All of us."
Jeff nodded, pulling Shannon closer to him, just in case Glen might be stupid enough to try something. Once they got on the ground, they all headed into Gil's car since he was supossed to pick them up at the end of the party anyways. Adam was already sitting in there.
"What's going on?" he whispered to Jeff as he took a seat next to him in the bed of the truck.
"I don't know. We didn't even know he was here until he came to Glen's clubhouse."
