Joey Graceffa

Chapter 17: Sawyer Hartman

After a few days of being in the hospital, I'm finally allowed to go home. Without hesitation, I pull out my phone and go to text Joey. I type in the message and pause before hitting send. Maybe I should ask Meghan to pick me up? However, then I'd have to explain what happened and I know she'll freak out. I'll text Joey. What he did for me was very kind, and I think I should talk to him, even if it's not about what I said to him. He is one of my best friends after all. All right, I'll ask Joey.

Me: Hey Joey, the hospital has discharged me, and I was wondering if you could come to pick me up?

Joey: Yup, of course. I'll be there soon.

Me: :D Thanks so much

After a few minutes of waiting, Joey finally arrives. I hop into Satsuki, and we drive off.

"You feeling better gurl?" Joey asks.

"Yeah, I can eat now, that's nice," I replied.

We sat in complete silence for the next couple of minutes. I wanted to speak to him, but I wasn't quite sure what to say.

"Well, I thought about it," Joey says, breaking the silence.

"Thought about what?" I reply, knowing full well what he was referring to, but I thought I'd ask anyway.

"Dating you."

"And..."

The next few seconds couldn't have gone by any slower.

"I think that maybe we should stay friends for a little bit longer, then think about it." he finally says

"Okay."

Joey's P.O.V.

Damn, why did I do that? I want to be with Katie. I'm so stupid. I should have said yes.

Katie's P.O.V.

I've been home for a few hours now. I've just been sitting down watching videos on Netflix when suddenly I receive a text.

Sawyer: are you ok? I just heard what happened?

Me: yeah, I'm fine. I got out if the hospital an hour ago.

Sawyer: Oh, that's good. Hey, did you want to go out for lunch then shoot a collab after?

Me: sounds great! Where you want to go?

Sawyer: chipotle?

Me: k, see you in 20 :)

I walk into my room to get ready. I wore a tank top with my So So Happy jumper. I pair that with a pair of plain denim jeans with white converse. I apply my makeup, then make my way to chipotle.

When I arrive, Sawyer is waiting for me outside.

"Hey!" I say.

"Hi!" We order and eat our food. Nothing exciting happened, just two people having the most boring conversation ever.

After we finish, we go back to his house.

"So what video should we do?" I ask. He doesn't respond. He closed the door and pressed me against it.

I manage to push him off.

"Sawyer! What are you doing?" I say. He ignores me and begins to kiss me. I hold my lips tight together, as he tries to get his tongue through.

I struggle to get him off.

"Sawyer... Get off." I try to say. I continue to try to push him off. When I finally do, I run out the door and into my car. I start the car and head home, crying my eyes out.

Why did he do that? I hate him. I should have slapped him.

When I get home, I knock on Joey's door.

"Hey... What's wrong?" He asks.

"Sawyer kissed me. I told him to stop. He wouldn't let me go!" I say between sobs.

"It's ok Katie, calm down." He says as he pulls me into a hug. He leans down and whispers in my ear.

"Don't worry, about him. He won't touch you when he knows I'm your boyfriend."
