What if I told you...Janiel could be having sex any time now and we would never know. XD. I hope you enjoy the chapter!

*at the hospital*

"JOEY" "JOEY WAKE UP!" "JOEY"

Joey heard the faint shouts calling out for his name until his eyes shot open to the sight of a boy leaning on his hospital bed and kneeling on the floor. The boy's face wasn't visible. After all, you could clearly hear the his muffled sobs into the pillow so, that gives a clue of the reason why.

It didn't take Joey long after he noticed his hands were perfectly interlaced with the mystery crying boy. Joey gave his hand a tight squeeze which caused him to wipe his tears with the cheap lavender hospital sheets covering Joey's bare legs. The mysterious kid had such beautiful green orbs that shined brighter each time the window curtains were moved with a soft breeze from the cold wind and let the bright sun face him. He had perfect plump lips and jawline sharper than a knife. Joey could admire his Beauty all day but, he looked away and blushed as soon as he noticed the boy caught him staring. He properly positioned himself on the bed to level with the headboard. Finally, he realized something was wrong. Why was he in the hospital? Where is his family? And who is this boy?

"Joey! You're awake" the gorgeous kid exclaimed.

A figure burst through the hospital curtains and hugged Joey. They pulled away from a hug to reveal Nicole and his Mother. He was so glad to see them, yet very confused.

"WE'VE BEEN WAITING TO HEAR FROM YOU FOR THE PAST 8 HOURS!", Nicole said angrily with a hint of relief.

"Why am I here?", Joey waited for an answer ,but his mother's face said it all. His mother's eyes wandered down from his arm down to his wrists.

She broke down into tears of pain and took Joey into her arms and hugged him tightly. She buried her head into his shoulder and cried heavily. Seeing his mom in pain hurt him and everyone else in the room.

His mom pulled away from the hug and frowned.

"Why would you do this to yourself? The last thing I wanted was for my baby boy to hurt himself?"

Joey knew why he did it. Know one would care if he had anyway.

"What difference would it make if I was gone anyway? I don't matter?"

Oh those words stung like a hornet pricking your  skin over and over again. She stepped away from him and looked at him in disbelief. She wiped her tears with her long sleeved shirt and looked at him straight in the eyes.

"You're going to sit there and tell me you don't matter!I raised,fed you and watched you grow happily and made sure you had everything you need because you don't matter!!! Do you know how much it hurts a mother to hear her child say they never mattered. GODDAMNIT JOEY I WOULD DIE FOR YOU! THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE LIKE ME WHO YOU MATTER TO! DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT WOULD HAVE BEEN TO LIVE WITHOUT YOU! I'VE LOST EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING AND YOU AND NICOLE ARE THE ONLY THINGS I HAVE AND YOU DECIDED YOU WANT TO LEAVE ME...alone."

She collapsed on the floor. And cried even harder. She spoke softly now and her words were coming out softer now.

"All I ever wanted was to be a good mother. I've failed you Joey. All I ever wanted was to love someone who would love me for who I was. Now I know that I make you feel worthless. Do you know how hard I have worked to make you happy even after all the struggles I had to deal with as a sad and lonely woman."

Joey began to cry and so did Nicole. Their mother has been an alcoholic ever since their father left her. She was afraid being left alone. She felt worthless and a part of her was missing. The only thing that filled that hole in heart was her precious children. Knowing that one of them felt worthless makes her feel like a horrible person.

"Joey, even though you're a brat and my extremely annoying little brother. I will always love you. You're the only person I want to grow up with. You're the one few persons in my life who actually matter. Friends come and go and family is forever.", Nicole said after a single tear rolled down her cheek.

Finally they all hugged and smiled. Joey hated seeing his mom emotional ,but all it took was a hug and a moment of bonding.

Suddenly, a figure sat up from the chair in the corner and walked up to the room curtain.

"Wait!", Joey shouted without knowing what to say after.

The boy turned around which revealed his puffy red eyes yet he still looked gorgeous. The boy stood there patiently, waiting for him to say something.

"I-I um...er...forgot to ask what your name was?", he asked nicely ,but the boy's jaw dropped and stared at Joey with shock.

He noticed he wasn't the only one with a surprised face.

Joey's glance switched from Nicole to his Mother's face. They all had the same expression.

"What's wrong?", Joey was more than just confused this time.

The boy opened his mouth to speak ,but Nicole interrupted his words.

"Joey, do you honestly not know who it is? It's Daniel...Daniel Preda your friend and neighbor" Joey shook his head sadly.

Daniel finally spoke, " We met in the summer before the first year of middle school began. And had the same dreams."

Joey frowned and replied," sorry...it doesn't ring a bell."

Daniel opened his mouth the speak again but quickly closed it and just look down at the floor with sadness.

Joey felt bad for him. He really wanted to know what Daniel was talking about ,but he just doesn't recall anything about meeting in the summer. All he remembers is re-uniting with his friend Brittany in Middle School and that's just it.

Daniel sighed," I guess I have no right to still be here." He took a deep breath and exhaled with a hint of pain.

"No! Wait! ",Joey blurted out making Daniel slowly turn around and lift his head up to see Joey.

" y-yea?", Daniel looked depressed now.

"Before you leave...I wanted to tell you that you are a rather interesting looking person. I would love for you too swing by tomorrow at my house...so I can get to know you, again?" , Joey smiled and Daniel smiled weakly in return.

"Sure, I'd like that", I guess this is a start to a new beginning. Its kind of sad how all the gold memories we've had together are gone...at least I get another chance.

With that Daniel glanced at Joey one last time before exiting the Hospital. He walked home and went straight up to his room. Tomorrow was a new day. He freshened up before getting comfortable and getting in bed. Daniel still had hopes.

What if Joey gets his memory back and remembers the good times only? What if he remembers it all and forgives me? What if...he doesn't?

Daniel wishes it didn't have to be this way ,but he doesn't want to waste a new start of a what he hopes is a beautiful friendship.
