Chapter 21

**** Y'all ready for this? ****

Tim feels a hand lay on his shoulder. He quickly wipes the tear and opens his eyes to see Avi by his side and all the other teachers gathered around with sad faces.

He had stayed strong all day but this moment was more than he could bare. He put his hand over his eyes, hung his head and broke down in tears.

Rob quickly stepped forward and grabbed Tim into a tight hug. It was breaking Avi's heart to see Tim this way. He watched as Scott leaned over whispering words of comfort rubbing Tim's back, even though he knew that he couldn't hear him.

Avi let a tear roll down his own cheek as he watched all the teachers coming together to support their fallen friend. He felt someone rub him on the back, looking around he saw Austin with tears in his eyes.

"He's going to be alright." Austin whispered.

Avi sighed and leaned into him resting his head on Austin's shoulder.

"This just isn't fair." Kirstie said, wiping a tear.

"No it's not. Considering there is so many other things they could have cut instead." Adam added.

The bell had already rung, but none of the teachers even noticed. Some students stood around watching the deaf teacher have his emotional breakdown.

Tim's girls walked out of their classroom. They were fine until they seen their teacher in heavy sobs. They too began crying, the other teachers stepped up to comfort the girls.

Tim raised his head from Rob's shoulder, wiping his red, puffy eyes.

"I'm alright now. I just had to get that out. Thanks Rob. Thank-you all." He looks around at Avi, reaching up and wiping a tear from his cheek. "Let's go home."

Avi smiles and nods, rubbing Tim on the arm.

Tim hugs each one of his girls, kissing them on their cheek. "This ain't good-bye. So I'll see you later." He signs with a wink.

He takes Avi by the hand and makes his way through the crowd of teachers.

"Hey." He said turning back around to his friends. "I'll see y'all Friday night at Joker Joe's. I expect you all to buy me a drink, after all, I am unemployed." He chuckled.

He turns around to see Ben Bram standing in the hallway. Tim and Avi slowly walks up to him. Tim reaches into his back pocket, pulling out his wallet. He takes his teacher's card out and puts his wallet back in his pocket. He stares at his card for a minute then looks up at Bram.

Ben slowly holds his hand out for the card.

Avi looks up at Tim and saw the sadness in his eyes quickly changed to anger.

Tim grabs Ben's hand and slaps the card hard into the principal's hand.

"You and Mr. Jones, can take that card and cram it as far up your asses as you can get it!!" Tim growled through gritted teeth.

"Mr. Foust, I'm so sorry." Ben said.

"NO YOU'RE NOT!! DON'T EVEN START WITH THAT 'I'M SORRY' SH*T!! NOT ONCE DID YOU EVEN ATTEMPT TO OPEN YOUR MOUTH AT THAT MEETING IN MY DEFENSE!! IN THOSE GIRLS DEFENSE!! YOU SAT THERE IN YOUR CHAIR WITH YOUR HEAD DOWN, AND YOU KNOW WHY!!??" Tim's angry voice rung out through the halls. "I'LL TELL YOU WHY! YOU HAVE YOUR NOSE CRAMMED SO FAR UP TOMMY LEE JONES'S A**, YOU'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO BREATH FRESH AIR AGAIN!!"

Avi hangs his head to keep Ben from seeing his smile. He could hear the chuckles of the students that were still in the hall. Someone was finally telling off Ben Bram.

"NOW, GET YOUR BROWN NOSING A** OUT OF MY D*MN WAY!!" Tim yells as he grabs Avi's hand and pushed the stunned principal out of his way and walked out.
