“Y/N! Shawn’s at the door for you!”

I didn’t want to see him let alone talk to him. But I also didn’t want to talk to my parents about why I didn’t want to.

“Can you tell him to come up here?”

"Chet never called."

Jon closed his eyes. The mention of that name sparked so much anger in him.

"No," he said gritting his teeth. "Didn't even bother to send a card."

"We didn't miss the call, did we?"

"Chet likes to tell stories to the answerin' machine more than he likes to talk to his kid. There haven't been any answerin' machine stories, so I doubt it."

"Has Shawn said anything to you?"

"I sort of forgot."

At the sound of the teen's voice, Audrey stepped back from Jon and held out a hand to him.

"What do you mean you forgot?" she asked

"Just that," he said leaning into her. "We've been so busy and everythin's been so much fun, I just forgot Dad hasn't bothered to remember Christmas."

"You don't sound upset about it," Jon commented, leaning against the kitchen counter."

Shawn shrugged. "He was never really involved in Christmas. Not since I was little. The only real difference this year is not seein' him sit in recliner all day talkin' to himself."

Jon swore at Chet under his breath.

"What about your mom?" Audrey asked, running her hand through his hair to get it out of his eyes.

He shrugged again. "Last Christmas she sat with Dad for half the day, then left. So not much different."

It was clear that the teen really had not given much thought to his parents being gone since he'd been so engrossed in their activities. Now he was thinking about it. His brow pinched together tightly as a mix of anger and hurt clouded his face.

"Neither one could be bothered," he said bitterly. "I bet Dad found her and their travelin' together, happy to be rid of me."

"Stop that," Jon told him forcefully. The anger he had for Chet and Virna, ws nothing compare to the hurt he felt for Shawn. He knew well what it was like to have parents who would turn their backs on a fifteen-year-old. Without thinking, he put his hand around the back of the teen's neck and pulled him into a hug. Audrey wrapped her arms around them both.

"From what you've told me about those two, they're miserable with and without each other. If they are together, they're not happy- nothin' to do with you. You're a good kid, Shawn. Their issues are not your fault."

"Sure feels like it," he mumbled. He looked at Audrey and said seriously, "Things would be easier for you two if I wasn't here."

"You're the reason why we're together at all," Jon said firmly.

Shawn frowned. "I am?"

"You are, Shawn." Audrey lovingly ran her hand down his cheek. "We wouldn't have what we do without you."

"Yeah," Jon agreed. He looked at his student teacher. While he couldn't say those words to her, he could say them to Shawn. "I love you, kid. If you were gone there'd be a big hole in our lives."

Audrey nodded. "That's right. Everything would be a mess if you weren't with us."

Shawn inhaled a shaky breath. He wasn't convinced that his parents would be happy without him, but he felt less adrift knowing that two people in the world wanted him. At the same time the conversation stirred up a swirl of emotion he was uncomfortable with.

"I wish things didn't have to end tomorrow. "

Audrey held the teen tightly while Jon was silent. After a moment he shook his head.

"It won't end tomorrow," he said firmly.

"It won't? "Shawn and Audrey asked in unison.
