Out Of Our Control (High School Shoey)

Ch 43- Going Home

This is another short chapter. I'm sorry. I'll try to make the next one longer.

P.S. You guys really freaking hate Jawyer. Calm your shiz! This is a Shoey fanfic so there will be some Shoey action. Just be patient and chill! Go to your mind palace or something. You can wait for Shoey!

“Are you okay?” I ask Shane as I hop into the car, leaving Sawyer’s house.

“I’m fine.” He says, shrugging his shoulders. I’m not sure if he’s lying or not. It doesn’t seem like he’s upset about the death of his father unlike how he sounded over the phone just an hour ago.

“Um…okay then. So are you taking us to school now?” I ask, trying to change the subject.

 “No. I’m going home.”

 “But that girl is still at the house...”

 “I’m going home. My home. Not your house. That isn’t home. Home is a place where you’re loved. Not just shelter.”

 “But I love you.”

 “Yeah whatever.” He mumbles. We sit in complete silence for the rest of the car ride until we reach his house.

 “Will you text me later?” I ask as he opens his door.

 “Maybe.” He mumbles before getting out the car. He grabs his things out the trunk and walks up the porch steps. He left his backpack in the car.

 “Wait!” I yell. “You forgot this!” I run up to the porch before he closes the front door and hand him his backpack. “So you’re officially moving back in with your mom?”

 “That’s what it looks like.”

 “Are you sure you’re okay? You’re acting strange.”

 “Joey, I really have to go.” He says, changing the subject. “My mom is probably waiting for me in the kitchen so unless you want to ‘hang out’ with my brothers again and let them f*ck you up, I suggest you get back in the car before someone steals it because I left the key in the ignition.”

 “Okay then.” I chuckle. “I’ll text you later.” I lean in for a goodbye kiss, but he turns his head, making me kiss his cheek. “I love you, Shaney.”

 “Right. Goodbye, Jay—I mean Joey.” mutters before closing the door.

 What is up with him? Did something else happen at the hospital that I don’t know about? It’s almost noon. I have to go to school. I’ll text him later.

 ~SHANE’S POV~ 

“Hey, Shane. What’s up?” Jared greets me as I walk into our room. I take my bags and throw them in the closet and plop on my bed.

 “Leave me alone. Just let me die here in silence.” I groan out, throwing a pillow over my face.

 “Why? What’s going on?”

 “I think I’m going to break up with Joey.”
