Shane's pov

After a long fifteen minutes joey had calmed down enough to talk to me. I was so beyond worried. What could that nightmare have been about?

Shane: Joey what happened in your dream?

Joey: Big storm, scary things everywhere, i'm scared.

Shane: It was just a dream joey it's all over now everything is fine.

Joey: Thank you for being so nice to joey.

Shane: You're welcome joeybear now how about dinner?

Joey: Ooh yes.

He hopped out of bed and i smiled quickly following him down the stairs. He sat at the table and my mom put a giant plate of food in front of him.

He drooled and threw his utensils elsewhere as he dunked his face into his food. Right now i won't get after him because he just had a pretty bad nightmare. That and he looks so fucking cute.

Shane: Slow down joey or you're gonna get a tummy ache.

I heard him giggle and he finished his dinner in a rather fast pace. He looked at me with pleading eyes and i rolled my eyes.

Shane: What flavor do you want?

Joey: COOKIE DOUGH.

I smiled and walked to the cabinet and freezer. I pulled out ice cream and two bowls dishing out some into each dish. We ate in silence until joey asked me a question.

Joey: Can joey...g-go on walk?

Shane: Sure i'll just grab my jacket.

I went to get up but joey grabbed my hand pulling me back down.

Joey: No...just J-joey.

Shane: Are you sure? I've never let you go alone.

Joey: I know b-but....please?

Shane: Oh fine just be back in an hour.

Joey: T-thank you....shaney.

He kissed my cheek and ran outside dissapearing into the woods. Now i have time to start my homework.

Joey's pov

After swinging through the trees for fifteen minutes i landed at a certain spot. It felt like i've been here before. Slowly i walked around and i felt the trees.

Joey: What is this.....p-place?

The sun had gone down completley and now the moon lit my way. I've never been scared of the dark but i just didn't like it. I then suddenly saw a little building and i walked towards it.

The whole place looked burnt and old so i slowly made my way inside. The whole place was actually really big. I walked into a room to which i guessed was a living room. Everything was either burnt of broken it just looked really sad.

I heard something crunch under my feet and i looked dow. It was a thing that you keep.....um pictures yea pictures you keep those in them.

I flipped over the frame and i pulled out the lightly scratched picture. I wiped away the dust and i was shocked.

Joey: N-no this c-can't be right.

I reached in my pocket and pulled out a picture that i always kept with me. It had a man, a woman, a little girl, and a little boy. Both the pictures were exactly the same. I looked around and realized that this was the same house from my dream. My mind flashed back to that day.

Lightning flashed screams were everywhere i was running.

Joey: NO!!!.

I screeched and fell to my knees. My family died in this house....how did joey not die?

Shane's pov

It had been three hours since joey left. I am fucking terrified of where he could be. It was around midnight and my whole family was still up.

Shane: What if he was kidnapped? What if he fell and got hurt? What if he got lost and needs me? What if, what if?

My dad stood up and held my shoulders firmly, he stared into my eyes.

Dad: Shane listen to me, joey is fine and he knows those woods like the back of his hand. He is alright maybe he just needed some alone time. So just calm down and take deep breaths.

I breathed deeply and i was just getting calmed down when i heard the back door open.

Joey: Shaney....i need you.

My heart leaped back up to my throat and i bounded over to the kitchen pulling joey into the tighest hug ever.

Joey: Shane...joey need....to breathe.

I smiled and let him go as he gasped getting air back into his lungs.

Shane: Sorry joey but i said to be back in an hour its been three. Where were you?

Joey: Joey just needed...thinking time...i sorry.

Shane: It's alright just please don't do it again.

Joey: I won't i promise now....shane and joey...cuddle?

Shane: Of course baby.

We said goodnight to everyone and we both went upstairs slowly. We showered and fell into bed exhausted. I pulled his head to my chest and i was too tired to take him to bed again. We both fell asleep quickly and we enjoyed a peaceful nights rest.

Teresa's pov (shane's mom)

It was the next morning and it was rather early. I heard footsteps down the stairs and they walked to me in the living room. I looked up from my book to see a tired looking joey rubbing his eyes.

Teresa: Good morning joey, why are you up so early?

Joey: Morning mommy.

He calls me that sometimes and i'm fine with that because he never had a mom.

Joey: Since joey made shane worry....I-i wanna make shane....b-breakfast.

Teresa: Aww that's so sweet joey. You want me to help you?

Joey: Yes.

Teresa: Well let's go.

I smiled and he smiled back pulling me to the kitchen and we raided the cabinets. I got out the ingredients for pancakes and bacon with eggs. I put the ingredients into a bowl and joey looked at me with a questioning face.

Teresa: You wanna stir it.

He furiously shook his head and i handed him the whisk and bowl. He slowly stirred them around and stared in awe as the ingrediens merged together. I got out my skillet and i heated up oil into it. I placed the bacon onto the hot metal and it instantly sizzled.

Joey: Oooooh.

He sounded like an amused monkey and i found that adorable. I flipped the bacon and i started on the eggs. Joey helped me pour the batter and flip the pancakes. He is doing some rather difficult tasks surprisingly well.

Finally everything was ready and i pulled out a silver tray i had. I put shane's food onto a dish with a glass of orange juice and a little flower. I slowly gave joey the tray and he carefully handled it with both hands.

Joey: Thank y-you...mommy.

Teresa: You're welcome joey.

I kissed his forehead and he smiled kissing my cheek. Joey is just like a little child and i'm happy to take care of him.
