Jealousy

Jealousy

Joey's POV

There he stood. Shane Yaw, or Dawson as most say. He's my best friend and the love of my life. But he doesn't know the second part. And I don't plan on tell him. Ever.

Shane: Hey Joey!

He walked up to me with GIRLFRIEND. Lisa. I hated her for the most obvious reason. She had him. He loved her.

Lisa: Hey Joey!

Joey: Hey guys...

Shane: Is something wrong?

Joey: No. I'm a bit tired.

Lies. I always get enough sleep. I love to sleep because I have happy dreams about us being together. I always wake up with a smile. Then it's erased when I realize that will never happen.

He leans in and whispers in my ear.

Shane: Call me.

He looks at Lisa and they smile at each other.

Shane: Let's go. Bye Joey!

I frown. What am I supposed to say to him? Oh well.

**Later**

He kept calling me. I ignored my phone. I can't talk to him. I need to forget him. I sigh and lay back onto my bed.

Joey: He'll never love you...

Sawyer: Who?

Joey: Shane...

I let it slip out of my mouth before I could stop myself. Of course I've told Sawyer of my sexual orientation. He knew I was gay. I just never told him who I liked.

Sawyer: He's calling you.

Joey: He has for the past hour.

Sawyer: Pick up.

Joey: I need to forget him and move on.

Sawyer: We both know that won't happen.

He's right. I sigh again. He leaves the room and shuts the door, leaving me in darkness. I've been lying on this bed since yesterday. I have eaten or gone to the bathroom. Just moping in the dark room.

I close my eyes. My phone stopping ring for a while.

Joey: He's over you. He doesn't care.

That's when I lose it. I love him! I love him with all my heart and he won't love me back! I curl up into a ball and start crying my eyes out. He doesn't love me. He never will.

Shane's POV

He won't pick up. I'm worried. He always answers me. And if he doesn't he'll text me. I've tried for an hour before deciding to visit. I grab my phone and keys. I walk into the living room and find Lisa and Corny.

Shane: I'm heading off to Joey's.

Lisa: Ok. Bye.

I get in the car and drive. I'm nervous. What if he was hurt

Shane: Stop Shane. You're worrying yourself.

I get to his apartment and knock on the door. Sawyer's the one that answers.

Sawyer: Shane! Hey!

Shane: Hey Sawyer!

He invites me in and shuts the door. He then turns back to me.

Sawyer: So what are you doing here?

Shane: I'm worried about Joey. He hasn't answered his phone.

Sawyer: Oh...

His expression changes severely. He seems upset.

Shane: Is he ok? Is he hurt? What happened?

Sawyer: He's upstairs. Follow me.

I follow him up to Joey's door. I can hear crying. I don't care. I just burst through the door and find him on the floor crying his heart out.

Shane: Joey!

I sit next to him. He looks at me and more tears spill out of his eyes. He's so upset. I pull him into a hug and rub his back. He cries in my shoulder.

Shane: What happened?

Joey: Someone broke my heart.

He continued crying. I felt mad. Who would hurt Joey? What a jerk.

Shane: Who is this asshole?

Joey: I can't tell you.

Shane: Why not?

Joey: You'll hate me.

Shane: No I won't.

Joey: Yes you will! Then I'll lose you forever!

Shane: Fine. Don't tell me but calm down please.

He stops crying and I hear him sniffling. I pat his back and then he pulls away. He gets up and sits on his bed. I join him.

Shane: Hey. Let's hang out. We can get your mind off things.

Joey: Ok. What should we do?

Shane: Let's do a sleepover at my place! Come on!

Joey: Why your place?

Shane: You've been cooped up in here all day. Come on.

He grabs his phone and we walk downstairs.

Shane: Bye! We're having a sleepover at my place!

Sawyer: Ok. Bye guys!

We walk out and get in my car. I drive us to my place. I walk in and Lisa's making dinner.

Lisa: Hey babe!

She runs up to me and give me a hug, along with a kiss.

Shane: Hey babe. Joey's sleeping over because he's feeling down.

Joey's POV

Them calling each other babe does not help my situation.

Lisa: I'm sorry Joey.

He puts her hand on my shoulder. It burns.

Lisa: I'm making chicken if that makes you feel a bit better.

I smile even though I'm dying on the inside. She smiles and runs back into the kitchen. I go and sit in the couch. Shane joins me. He picks up my hand and holds it.

Shane: Are you sure you can't tell me?

I nod my head. I avoid looking at those eyes. He sighs and drops my hand. He wanders over to the kitchen to talk with his girlfriend. I stay in the same spot until Lisa calls me over to the table to eat.

I sit down next to them at the table. We eat dinner. It's ok, I don't love it considering SHE cooked it. After Shane put on a scary movie. I hugged his arm during the scary parts. Lisa did the same but Shane kissed her. So I let go and hugged my knees.

Shane: What's wrong Joey?

Joey: Nothing!

I must've yelled because they go quiet for the rest of the movie. After he gives my some pajamas to wear. They're loose and baggy. It's really comfy and they smell like him.

Lisa: I'll sleep on the couch and you two can have the bed.

Yes! I get to be alone with Shane! In the same bed!

Shane: Ok Let's go!

I sit down in the bed and shuts the door. He sits next to me on the bed.

Shane: Tell me what's wrong. Now. I've watched you all day and I could see in your eyes that you're depressed. You can trust me.

Joey: Someone broke my heart.

Shane: Who's the bitch that would do that to you?

Joey: It's not a girl...

Shane: Oh. That's cool. Who did that to you then?

Joey: Um...

Shane: Do I know him?

Joey: Yes. He's one of my best friends.

Shane: Luke?

I shake my head. I don't want to tell him directly.

Shane: Sawyer? That would be really hard be-

Joey: No. It's you!

I said it. He has Lisa. He loves her a lot too. He would never want me. I look down at my feet. He lifts my chin so we're facing each other

Joey: Shane I-

Shane: Shh.

He leans in and connects our lips. I feel a huge spark. Like the first time we kissed but bigger. This was bliss. But he pulled away.

Shane: So you like me?

Joey: Yeah.

I'm embarrassed. He probably only did that because he felt bad for me. I sigh and look down.

Shane: Great!

He grabs my neck and kisses me again. I push him away.

Joey: Stop! I'm confused.

Shane: You like me, I like you. And then we kiss.

He leans in again and I stop. He looks at me annoyed.

Shane: What now?

Joey: Um, what about Lisa?

Shane: Oh yeah.

He gets up and opens the door. We walk out into the living room.

Shane: Lisa?

Lisa: Yes babe?

Ugh. Again with the babe. I want Shane to call me babe.

Shane: Joey said he likes me-

Joey: Oh my god Shane!

Shane: So now we're gonna be together.

I was expecting her to blow up in our faces. Instead she gave me a big hug.

Lisa: Congrats guys!

Joey: I'm confused.

She pulled away and had me sit next to her in the couch.

Lisa: We never really dated. I was his cover up because he was gay. And he liked you a lot for a while. So I'm glad you two are together. Plus I have a real boyfriend.

Joey: Who?

Lisa: Uh, Sawyer. He thinks I'm cheating but we're not. So I'm gonna go and leave you two alone.

Shane drags me off to the bedroom. He throws me on the bed and we start making out. It was perfect. He pulled away and smile at me.

Shane: I love you Joey.

Joey: I love you too Shane.

And with that we share one last kiss before falling asleep.
