A/N: Here's chapter two. It's Henry's POV, which is something I haven't done before. And, would you believe it, I spent like 45 minutes researching drinking laws. YEAH. SO YOU BETTER LIKE THIS CHAPTER. I worked hard on it :)
Oh and as a side note, this may be slightly OOC for Shawn. But whatveah.
It could be said that Shawn doesn't think before he acts. And while this can be unfair, it definitely applied that night.
"Shawn, what were you thinking?" Henry said for the seventh time. "You could have died!" Now he was yelling as Shawn, appropriately embarrassed, looked at his feet. "You could have killed someone else!"
It had been two days since Henry pulled over a speeding car. The driver was going 45 in a school zone.
"Sir, are you aware that this is a school zone?" Henry had asked, not seeing who the driver was. He had not gotten a response, so, leaning in closer he'd gotten the shock of his life.
Shawn was sitting in the drivers seat. Henry could smell the alcohol on his breath.
He was drunk.
Henry had, of course, taken his son to the police station, and, because of some miracle, his blood alcohol level was only .03. It meant he got off with two fines (one for the underage drinking and another for the DUI) and a temporary license suspension.
Henry hadn't asked for a reason why he was drinking in the first place, though Shawn had actually given one anyway. He muttered some feeble excuse about a girl or school or something, which Henry ignored anyway.
At the moment, he was still shouting. "You should know better!" He forced out. "Promise me you'll never drink and drive again!"
"I promise..." Shawn started. Henry glared- Shawn was not going to get a loophole. "... to never drink and drive again. Happy?"
Henry could only tersely nod as he walked away.
He didn't see Shawn's crossed fingers.
