«joey's front steps 6:57pm»
•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~
Joey sat on his front steps, thinking about what he had said to Daniel.
Truth is: he wanted to be an item with Daniel. He was too scared to ask though and thought running from his problems would make it easier, but in truth... It would just make things worse.
But before he could even stand up he heard a voice from the left and it wasn't Daniel. "Hey Jo" it was his other neighbour Meghan. "Oh hi Meghan, how are you?" Meghan looked as though she was thinking, she probably was. Meghan was such an over thinker. "I'm fine, how are you? You seem down."
"Really I'm fine, I just - I may have ruined my chances of getting in a good relationship" Meghan climbed through a gap in the fence and sat with Joey. "Tell me about it"
"Well I may have told him I didn't want a relationship with him. But I do. I just got scared"
Meghan thought for a while and as she thought they sat in silence. It was a comfortable silence though, not an awkward one.
"You should go to him" she said finally. "Apologise, say that you do want a relationship. Tell him that you were scared, it can make things any worse"
Joey hugged Meghan tight.
"Thank you so much, you're just the motivation I need"
Meghan smiled.
"No problem"

"I'm so sorry Daniel" Joey sobbed.
"About what? There's nothing to be sorry for Joey"
"About all that I said, I do want to be with you but I got scared. The years of abuse and alcohol, they just- they got to me. Bad. I'm sorry Daniel"
"Again, I understand Joey, not everyone has a perfect life and I accept you and yours. I'll help you"
Daniel pulled Joey into a soft hug, and kissed his forehead lovingly.
A/N: so I listened to Enya while writing this so its kinda inspiring or motivational. Listen to Caribbean Blue by Enya to get the full effect of this chapter.
Sorry it's shorter I didn't have much time for this and I'm sorry that I'm slow on updating.
