(~_0) Oh no! Raven is bald! Did y'all know he lost that Hair v. Hair match?? It sucks! Poor Ravey! First he cuts his dreads, then he lets his hair out of the braids, now he's bald. What is this world coming to?
Disclaimer- I only own Scott and Glen, of course, you probably know that by now. Oh, yeah, and I just bought Shannon off the internet. So he's mine now. No one else can have him. Even his wife is out of the picture. *snap* damn dream sequences.

Summer In Cameron (Next Chapter Is The Last!)
~Friday morning
----------------
Jeff tapped his pencil on the table, a habit he had when he was nervous or thinking about something too hard. It was also irritating just about everyone else. It was nearing 10:30 and Gil, Matt, and Shannon were still not back home yet. They had been gone about six hours and the house hadn't even recieved a phone call. Well, except for tele-marketers to whom Jeff made obscene comments and hung up on.
"Will you just knock it of??" Shane finally snapped from his seat.
Jeff stopped tapping his pencil, which he had no idea what he was holding for in the first place. Jay was sitting on the couch, leaning slumped on the it next to his brother. He'd also still banned himself from going within five feet of Jeff and hadn't said barely ten words to him since four o'clock that morning. Shane and Adam had had a hard enough time convincing the two to be in the same room with each other.
Fianlly, the front door opened. Both Jeff and Jay started to run over, but then noticed that the other was gettng close and both backed away. Shane and Adam both shook their heads.
"You guys are acting like such babies." Shane argued, opening the door for Matt, who walked in alone.
Jeff jumped up from his seat. "Where's Shannon and Dad?" he asked, worridly.
"Don't worry 'bout it. Sides, whaddaya care?" Matt asked, tossing Jeff and Adam soda's.
"Where's mine?"
"I didn't get you one, jeff. Or you, jay. I knew y'all wouldn't be talkin to each other. Either that or you would be arguing."
"That's not fair!"
"Buy your own." Matt smirked, pushing past Jeff into the kitchen to put his soda away.
"So where's Shannon?" Jay asked quietly.
"Him and Dad're comin' Dad wanted me to drop them off at the store."
"Is Shannon okay?" Jay asked again.
"With me, Adam, and Shane. I'm not so sure about you two."
"Shannon's fine with me. He can hardly stay mad at me for fifteen minutes. You guys have been gone for six hours." Jeff said smartly.
"You sure are a self-obsessed one, now aren't you." Shane glared.
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"Only thinking about yourself. At least Jay asked how Shannon was doing. He had a friggen asthma attack right in front of you and you don't even care to know if he's okay."
"I was worried out of my mind!"
"The key word being 'was'" Adam pointed out.
Jeff looked around at everyone in the room. Then he sat down at the kitchen counter quietly. Shane, Matt, and Adam began talking and a few minutes later, the door opened again. Gil marched in, holding a couple of grocery bags and Shannon trudged in after him. He held his coat tight around him and immediatley started helping Gil put his groceries away.
Gil would whisper something to Shannon every once in a while and Shannon woould nod or whisper something back. Soon all of the food was away and Gil started to take things back out to make them lunch. No one really bothered to say anything, just either watched or looked at eachother. Shannon handed Gil some things for the sandwiches until Gil whispered him something and he slipped into Matt's room again.
"Later, I have to go in to the station and help out." Gil said, "I'll probably be gone all night."
All of the boys nodded, not daring to say anything yet.
"I don't care where you stay, but make sure you leave a note. Take Shannon with you, no matter what."
"We will dad." Matt agreed, passing him some paper plates, "I'll look out for him, too."
"You've gotta come down with me for an hour or two, then you can come back up here."
"Alright."
"I want you to be very nice to Shannon. He's stll not feeling too good."
"We will, dad." Matt reassured again, the only one comfortable enough to talk since he had been with his father and Shannon since the night before.
Matt looked over the other boys, giving them the I'm-serious-if-you-hurt-him-I'll-break-your-necks kind of look. His father handed each boy a sandwich, taking his own and heading to the garage where he was working on his latest car. Matt grabbed a second sandwich off the table and headed to his room. Jeff also looked at everyone else.
"I'm gonna go-"
"No you aren't." Shane argued, already knowing what Jeff was gonna say.
"Leave Shannon alone for a while." Adam agreed, before heading to the phone to answer it since it was ringing.
"Hello?" he asked.
"Adam? Hey, it's Amy. Are you busy right now?"
"Hi, babe. Um, no, I'm not too busy. Just trying to keep Jeff and Jay from killing each other and pilling up on Shannon."
"Do you want to go out with me and my Mom?" Amy asked hopefully.
Adam looked around and mouthed the question to Matt who had come back out of the room. Matt nodded.
"Yeah, sure."
"Great! Me and my mom'll be around in about half an hour!"
Adam hung up the phone and looked at the others in the room. "I'm gonna be going out with Amy and her mom. She'll be here in half an hour."
"It's alright. Me'n Shane can watch these guys." matt said.
"We arent' babies, Matt. Well, maybe Jay is, going all-"
"Stop it, Jeff." Matt warned, "And I will be watching you. Dad asked me to, so I am. Besides, he wants us to be here with Shannon. He was really hurting at the hospital. Not only was he in physical pain; he was hurt cause you two chose to ignore him the whole time."
Jeff chewed the inside of his lip and looked at the floor. The door to Matt's bedroom creaked slightly, signalling that Shannon was coming back out. He slowly made his way out and to the kitchen, throwing away his half eaten sandwich. He looked at Matt and smiled weakly, before setting himself down between the tall dark haired Hardy and the older blonde Canadian at his side.
"D'you wanna watch something, Shannon?" Matt asked, picking up the remote control adn switching on the t.v.
Shannon nodded.
Jeff cleared his throat, "Shann, are you okay?"
Shannon sucked his lower lip into his mouth, not replying, just taking the remote from matt's outstretched hand and flipping through the channels.
"Shanon, are you alright?" Jeff repeated.
Shannoon still chose to ignore the youngest Hardy. Matt looked at him, cocking his eyebrow at him knowingly. Jeff's expression softened lightly as Shannon settled on some television show and watched it intently. Jay watched the scene, his jealousy causing him to smirk at Jeff getting the cold shoulder.
"I was real worried about you last night." he said, trying to take advantage of Shannon ignoring Jeff.
Unfortunatly, Shannon was ignoring him, too, so it seemingly blew up in his face. Shane looked at the t.v.
"Ooo, I love this show." he said.
"Me, too. It's awesome!" Shannon said happily, settling himself again.
"Last time I saw this show, I think it was the season premire, though."
"Yeah. Some of them have been a bit boring, but this time, the dude has to do the contest."
Jay glowered in the corner. Everyone here has been getting more out of Shannon than he was. Even his own brother, Adam. Ironically, Adam looked up at Jay, catching his eye. Jay's eyes narrowed and Adam shook his head before pulling himself to his feet.
"I'm gonna go wait outside for Amy." he said, heading to the door.
"Bye, Adam." everyone but Jay and Jeff adieu'd.
Shane and Matt caught each others eyes before also getting up.
"We've gotta go pick up some stuff from Shane's house and take it to Marty's. Jeff, Jay, you stay here with Shannon. Shann, remember what the doctor said; don't move too much yet and take the painkillers if something happens. We'll probably be back in about an hour." Matt said.
Shannon looked up at Matt and gave him a strange look.
"Don't worry, Shann, we'll be back soon." Shane promised.
"Dad! Me'n Shane're leaving! Adam'll be with Amy and her mom. I'll pick up dinner on the way home! We'll be back in time for me to go to the sation with you." Matt called to his father before picking up his keys and heading outside.
Shannon shifted uncomfortabley. He didn't plan on being left alone with Jay or Jeff and now he was with both of them. Picking up the remote again, he chose to ignore his surroundings and just watch t.v till the three other guys got back.
Jeff cleared his throat again, "Um, Shannon, I'm real sorry about yesterday."
Shannon cringed as Jeff got up from his spot and headed towards him. Jay glared. Shannon caught it and got up. He shook his head.
"I don't get it." he stated heading to the refridgerator for a Coke, "What's wrong with you two?"
"Nothing." Jay argued.
"What?" Jeff asked, confused.
"Are you guys too clouded by your jealousy to not realize what you're doing to each other? What about what you're doing to me? "
"Shann, I don't get-"
"Jeff, stop. Will you just quit it and let me talk?" Shannon asked, his voice rising in ange, "I just want to know what's wrong with you guys. Jay, I love you, but I love Jeff, two. He's my best friend, of course I love him. But, I love him like a BROTHER. Jeff, I don't even know what's going on with you here. You act jealous, but...I don't..."
Shannon put a hand on a temple and closed his eyes, "What's wrong? I can't remember what happened really last night, but, why are you so angry with Jay?"
"He accused me, Shann. He thought-"
"Jeff, please don't amke this one sided, just tell me what happened, so I can get the story straight."
Jeff sighed, sitting back on the recliner, thinking for a minute. "When we were at the party, I thought we were getting along really well, but when we were driving home, he glared at me. And then, when I was sitting with you last night, he snapped on me. He thought we kissed and that I was hitting on you. I'm sorry, Shann, but you know my temper. I couldn't help myself."
"Were you, Jeff?"
"What? Hitting on you? Shannon, you're my best friend! We're too much alike to date. Remember? We tried once. It was crazy!" Jeff laughed slightly.
Shannon caught Jay's eye, "Y'see, Jay-Jay? If you would just listen to what he's saying, then you'll realize it. Jeff and I, we'll never be any more than friends. He's like my brother. I can go to him for anything."
Jay was quiet for a few minutes, contemplating. "So, what about us?"
Shannon sighed. "I don't really know." he said quietly.
"What do you mean?" Jay asked, standing up.
Shannon gasped slightly, tensing and grasping Jeff's arm.
"Shann, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you. I just...what's that supossed to mean? You don't want to go out with me anymore?"
Shannon went up to Jay and took his hand. "Do you want to still be with me?"
"Of course I do."
"But really think about it, Jay. Are you going to let your jealousy take control? What about when we have to break it of in a couple weeks so you can go home? What'll happen? What do you want to happen?"
"Wow, this is a lot." Jay sighed, "I-I think that we should just...leave it where it is. It'd be easier to just be friends, don't you think?"
Shannon smiled. "I was hoping you'd see it that way."
He gave Jay a light kiss, "Somethings are made not to work."
Jay smiled sidewardly. "Yeah."
