Green eyed Monster

Shanell hugged him her eyes sparkling “I did it ….” She leaned against him as they turned back to watch their older brothers start the next set. She rested her head against his chest sighing it had been exhilarating but terrifying being up there on her own. Granted she had done little things when she was younger with Andy in Spain but this was so different. This was in front of all her school classmates. She couldn't say school friends because she really didn't have any of those. She watched as they continued on with a couple more of their well known hits. Then they started on one of her favorite songs.

Barry stopped at the start of the song. “you know …. I think we need more family up here...” He turned to the wings “Shanell Andy come out ….” He turned to the audience “this is one of our songs that I know Shanell loves the most.... so why don't she come out and sing this one with us....” He turned as Andy escorted her out there with them. He grabbed his own guitar and stood by Maurice. Barry put his arm around her shoulder “I know you know this one ...” He started the song again a smile crossing his face as their whole family harmonized on the song.

Shanell stood right next to her big brothers feeling protected standing there right next to him. She brought up the microphone to her mouth singing along with Robin.. “you don't know whats it like baby you don't know what its like to love somebody to love somebody ….. the way I love you ...” She pointed at him.

Patrice watched from her seat her teeth gritting again as they once again brought that witch on stage with them. She didn't care if she was their sister or not. What was this take pity on the poor neglected untalented Gibb of the family. She gripped her purse on her lap with each line they would utter on stage. First they brought her out to sing with Andy then she had the audacity to think she could sing up there all by herself. Who did she think she was they were there to see The Bee Gee's and Andy Gibb not this no talent. She started muttering under her breath. When they brought her back out to sing what was one of Patrice's favorite Bee Gee's song that was just too much for her. She zeroed on her standing there on stage with that look on her face that smug look. She would wipe that smug look on her face off. She grabbed what she had in her purse and threw it. She had second row seats so she had a clear shot as it threw it.

Shanell loved singing she hit that note with Robin on the right spot and felt her brother beam with pride at her when something came flying at her. She turned to see what it was and ended up with a face full of tomato splattering all over her face and her shirt. She froze mid note. She swallowed the whole band including her brothers froze when it hit her. She dropped the microphone in shock the feedback going through the speakers as she practically dove off the stage to get away from there. She moved out of Andy's reach as he tried to grab her to stop her she felt humiliated the tears burning in her eyes. She sped pass her parents into the dressing room she knew was for her brothers and collapsed in the chair sobbing.

Barry stood on stage looking where his little sister had been standing seeing the rotten fruit on the stage. He looked up stopping the whole show the look on his face could freeze anyone in their tracks. He was furious who the hell did they think they were. He turned to see Andy give his guitar to their mother and take off after Shanell. He knew that Andy had left it for him to deal with his concern being with their little sister their BABY sister. He stared hard at the audience his teeth gritting. “That’s IT!” The whole audience froze in their seats having never seen an angry Barry Gibb before.

Robin stared at the audience in shock not comprehending what in the world they thought they were doing while his twin was seething on the other side of him. He turned to see Barry snap the plug out of his guitar. He put his hand on Barry's shoulder he could feel the muscles tense in his brothers shoulder. He turned back to the rest of the band and shook his head. They were done they would not continue to do this show not after that. The drummer nodded and just sat back by the drums. All of them looked at Barry who was breathing slightly hard. ]

“Who did that I want to know? What right do you think you have doing something like that …. to my sister or to anyone …..” He grit his teeth. “we do this concert we raise money for YOUR school..... and you throw a rotten tomato at a 16 year old child?!” He breathed out slowly “and you wonder why she wants nothing to do with ANY OF you ….. “ He grit his teeth “WHAT RIGHT do you think you have to pass judgment on my sister …. who do you people think you are ….. “ He shook his head “this concert is over …. I won't play for you people …. “

“we came to see you perform not her …. “ A couple people shouted. Some of the voices were adults others were Shanell's classmates. Patrice grinned with other people complaining no one would know it was her that threw it. Her gaggle of friends plus her buddies and their parents were annoyed when this no name came on stage. Okay she wasn't a no name she was the Gibbs little sister but she wasn't the reason they paid the money for the tickets. They paid to see a Bee Gees and Andy Gibb show not some girl that they really had no interest in watching. “we didn't pay to watch some girl we have no clue who they are strut around stage...” Patrice yelled feeling confident with all these other people around.

That did it for Maurice “MY baby sister was doing no such thing and what RIGHT DO YOU people have treating her the way you did.... she has a beautiful voice and she shared it with you..... and WHAT bloody RIGHT DO YOU THINK YOU have … to humiliate and HURT her...” He spat his eyes snapping with angry. “I refuse to play for a bunch of fookin juvenile twats...” He unplugged his bass guitar and walked off the stage but before he did he turned to the audience “I find out who threw that at my sister there will be hell to pay ...” He stormed off leaving Barry to stand on the stage with Robin. He headed to the dressing room while he could hear Barry's voice still on stage.

He knocked on the door and opened it to see Andy sitting on the couch in the room with Shanell curled in his lap. He could still see the bits of tomato on her shirt and on her face. He must have not gotten time to get something to help her clean up. He headed over to the side and wet the cloth at the sink through the open door they could hear Barry over the speakers letting the childish audience just what he thought of them. He wasn't holding back. Maurice walked over with the wet cloth and started to wash the tears and gunk off his sisters face. His hand gripping as he fought his anger seeing the pain on her face was just a bit too much for him to bare. If he ever found out who did this didn’t care who it was there was going to be heads rolling. She had been so happy on that stage enjoying her time with them showing those people just how talented she really was. “I'll find out who did this Shan … I promise....” He stated softly her head resting on Andy's shoulder.
