He sat on the couch when they could hear another voice joining Barry's on the speakers

“who the bloody hell do you people think you are ...” Robin's smooth tenor spat over the speakers. “you throw a rotten fruit at a child a little girl.... you think you are so Fuckin COOL?” He growled. He snapped when he heard another girl who had to be in Shanell's class comment on how she shouldn't have been up there to begin with. “Belt up you useless twat She was on stage with us because SHE is our sister …. because she is talented our little sister has more talent in her little FINGER than your entire class.... is it any wonder she wants nothing to do with you tossers....” he seethed. He was more than pissed who the hell do these people think they were. He glared at them gritting his teeth holding the microphone so they could all hear him. “and you heard my twin the minute we find the arsehole that threw that at our sister there will be fookin hell to pay.” He looked at Barry. He glared when he heard someone yell Robin I love you . “piss off.....” he tossed the microphone down and stormed off the stage.

Barry watched as his brother left the stage and looked back at the audience shaking his head “how can you tell us you love us when we just told you how horrible you were to our sister... how can we even like you when you humiliate our little sister. “ he started put his guitar away showing just what was going to happen they were not continuing the show. He still had the microphone as one of the techs take his guitar “you make me ashamed to be from this area to be ashamed to claim this city as where we lived.... you expect us to just accept what you did to our baby sister and just go on with the show like nothing happened?” He snapped “I refuse to continue a show for a bunch of bloody tossers that thought they were better than my sister and decide to hurt and humiliate her.... I have a mind to tell the school that the money we raised would go to a different charity …. after this disgusting display..” He shook his head as the band all walked off leaving the audience in utter silence. “I am done with all of you lot ….. ya can all go to bloody hell...” He walked off stage following the band and his brother.

He came down the hall to see Andy carrying Shanell in his arms, his coat wrapped around her with her face buried in his neck “She's asleep...” Andy stated his tone sharp . “cried her self to sleep after Mo cleaned up the mess..” He was shirtless meaning the shirt that their little sister was probably the one he was wearing. He looked at his mum and dad who both had tears in their eyes. He had a pained expression on his face “ we need to find out who did this ….. if it was the school kids I don't think she should go back to that school...” All four of the brothers were in agreement with that.

Barbara moved over to brush the blonde hair from her face wincing at the red mark on her little girls face where she was hit with the fruit. She knew there would be a bruise as it was already starting to turn black and blue. She was angry and hurt that those people did this to her little girl. “we will find out who it was Andy lets just go ….. “

Barry moved to help Andy but he shook his head “I have her Barry... besides she's got a grip around me and I don't want to wake her up...” his voice was angry They headed out to the car all piling into the car Andy not once releasing Shanell who curled closer to her brother in her sleep as if seeking protection. They left the venue not carrying what happened there or the audience though if they ran into a fan it would not have been pretty.

Three days later even though she had a bruise on her face and she was told she didn't have to go school that day Shanell headed to school. She told her brothers she could handle it and did not need them showing up at school nor taking her to school. Robin was against her going back to school right now his temper was still frayed after the experience at the concert. He had thrown himself into finding out who had thrown it at her. She had taken to covering up the bruise with makeup cause every time Robin saw it he got moody again. She loved her older brother but she wanted to forget it even happened. She had wanted to walk to school but Andy wouldn't even go for it. So she was drove by Maurice who seemed to be the more calm out of the four of them.

She gave him a kiss on the cheek before heading into the school. She kept her head down hoping not to attract any undo attention. She knew that it was tense at the school because there had been a phone call the day before between Barry and her principle at the school because of some comment Barry had said on stage about giving the money that the concert raised to a charity. It took a four hour talk with her brothers and her parents to get him convinced that even though she was upset about the whole situation that she didn't want the money to be taken away from the kids that didn't do anything wrong. She didn't know if Barry told them they would get the money but it was none of her business what Barry did the money they did from the concert was his business.

She headed to her locker with her books and locked them in keeping to herself. She nodded to a few of the kids who said hi to her. Other than that she kept quiet and unobtrusive as possible. She did not want to attract any attention at all as she headed to her first class. She had covered her bruise with makeup that morning because this way she didn't have to think about it and it didn't bring any attention. She sat down listening as the announcements were started. The school day started just as normal even with everything that happened she didn't have any run ins with anyone. When she got home every one of her brothers asked her how it went. She told them surprising no one really talked to her but she didn't have any incidents with anyone. Patrice didn't even bother her though she glared at her at the school she didn't even talk to her. Just kept with her band of friends though she could hear whispers she didn't hear her name so she ignored it.

Even though it seemed to have calmed down a bit at the school the brothers still stayed. Shanell told them they didn't have to stay that it seemed to be safe for her but they wouldn’t budge especially Andy and Robin. Now that Robin had calmed down a bit but not much he had taken over taking her back and forth to school along with Andy. Nothing Shanell could say would dissuade them from this. Robin didn't tell anyone but he had a bad feeling something was wrong ….. something was off and his gut instinct was telling them not to let down their guard around those kids at his little sisters school. He kept his eyes open he and Andy both did. Every day either he or Andy even Maurice would pick up their sister from school and take her to school It LOOKED like the problem had been solved but Robin and then Andy just had a bad feeling.
