Behind Closed Doors [A Shoey AU]

Chapter 11

*Shane's point of view*

 Joey was about to start talking when the nurse came in. She set my cloths on the side table and looked at Joey.

 "So Joey your mom is waiting downstairs." She then turned to me "Joeys mom offered to drive you home and we checked with your mom and she said its fine."

 She took a bottle of pills out of her pocket and handed them to me. "You need to take two every day one when you wake up and another before you go to bed. It will help stop the pain."

 "Okay." I nodded.

 She came over and unhooked the monitor from me and helped me up. I stumbled a little when she left me standing but Joey quickly walked over and put his arm around my waist to support me.

 I remembered I still had to change into my cloths but the nurse had already left. I think I can manage.

 I looked at Joey with an awkward look on my face. "I have to change. Um could you help me?" I blushed a little. I was wearing boxers but I didn't want him seeing me half naked. He already knew about my cuts but he didn't know how many there were.

He laughed a little then winked at me playfully. "We just met yesterday and you already want me to help you change?"

 I pouted at him. "Why you don't wanna see me half naked?" I joked.

 "We'll if you insist." He chuckled a little.

 I undid the strings of the hospital robe and set the robe on the bed. I wrapped my arms around my body but had to drop them because the pain in my ribs shot through me.

 I stood awkwardly while Joey grabbed my pants. When he looked back at me he paused. He was focused on my arms and thighs. They were covered in scars and some newer cuts. He looked me in the eyes. I could feel the sadness coming from him but he didn't say anything.

He bent down in front of me allowing me to get my legs into my pants then he pulled them up. His hands paused at my waist and he moved them to touch me. I felt his soft hands on my sides he was looking right into my eyes. I felt like I was going to faint.

He broke our connection to grab my shirt. I lifted my arms up so he could put the shirt on me. Once the shirt was on I sat onto the bed so he could put my socks and shoes on.

It was so nice of him to do this for me. I really like him. I'm so happy he likes me back. I don't think I've stopped smiling since he kissed me.

 Before I even noticed my socks and shoes were on.

"Shall we get going Shaney?" He asked and I nodded. He put his arm back around me and helped me off the bed. I winced in pain. I had forgotten it was there for a second.

My head fell onto him and he turned his head towards me and moved his free hand onto my chin. He forced my head to tilt up to his. "One more?" And before I could ask one more what he kissed me again. I immediately forgot the pain. He moved his head back and smiled at me.

 We started walking and before we knew it we were standing by the car with his mom.

 "Shane you can lie down in the back of the car if you want? And Joey are you sitting in the front with me?"

 I nodded and Joey said "No I think i'll sit in the back with Shane. I'll be his pillow." His mom smiled and winking. She must know about us. Joey helped me into the left side of the car right behind his mom. He walked around and got in. He patted his lap. So I laid my head on it. He took my hand and let his thumb trace the palm of my hand. It was so comforting and before we even left the parking lot I had fallen asleep.
