Chapter 2- Alone

Shane's POV

*A week later*

I kicked my brothers out to live with my mom. And I haven't heard from her since she kicked me out. And I don't plan on seeing her again. Ever.

Knock. Knock.

Brittany: Shane?

Great. Joey's best friend is here. I sigh and open the door. I invite her in.

Brittany: Joey is mad. But he really misses you.

Shane: So? Shouldn't he come here and tell me himself?!

I was getting heated. I can't help myself. I've lost a lot and I just got out of the games. I'm a mess.

Brittany: Don't yell. I'm just trying to help.

Shane: Help who?! Joey?! Just get out!

I shove her out. I don't need this whole Joey situation. Lisa said she wanted to talk. I sigh and sit down in my living room and think aloud.

Shane: Who do I like?

Shane: Why did I kiss Lisa?

Shane: Was I just acting for the camera?

Shane: Why am I dealing with this?

Knock. Knock.

It's Lisa. I walk over and invite her to sit with me on the couch.

Lisa: Shane we need to talk.

Shane: About what?

Joey's POV

Brittany: Joey? You still crying?

I nod my head. My face is buried in my soaked pillow. I've been crying non-stop all week. I don't know why but it hit me hard. I just hope I get some good news from Brittany. She just came back from talking to Shane.

Joey: So?

Brittany: He yelled at me. I think he's upset too.

Joey: Lisa?

I haven't been speaking in complete sentences either.

Brittany: She just walked past me when I came up here. I think they might be talking. I think you should too. He wanted you to talk to him. Not me.

Joey: No.

Brittany: You can't stay like this forever. Move on or talk to him.

Joey: I can't.

Brittany: You can. I'll be right by you.

Joey: Fine.

I pick my head up. My face is red, puffy, and wet. I go to the bathroom and clean up my face. I take a shower too. Then I get dressed into new clothes. But I still can't smile. I sigh and walk out to Brittany.

Brittany: Ready?

Joey: I think I am.

Brittany: Great!

She smiles and leads me downstairs. My family seems happy to see me up and moving. I just need to talk to Shane.

Shane's POV

Lisa: Us.

Shane: Us?

Lisa: Do you like me? Or Joey?

Shane: I don't know. Both maybe.

Lisa: Come on Shane. Be serious. I can't do this if you won't be committed.

Shane: What?! I am serious! I'm confused! And you aren't helping! And commitment? Really? We broke up like a year ago! We told everyone it was fine but that was a lie!

Lisa: I miss the old you!

Shane: No going back now! Thanks mom!

Lisa: Why are you shouting?!

Shane: Why are you?!

Lisa: You yelled at me!

Shane: So did you!

Lisa: You're being a jerk Shane! Screw you! I don't need this!

Shane: Get out of my house! Don't come back!

Lisa: Fine!

She opens the door and gasps.

Lisa: You have visitors. Hope you can stop being a jerk and just talk to someone for once!

With that she stormed out. Good. I don't need her clinginess and temper. That's one reason why we didn't work out. But now I've got a temper. I sigh and check the door. Brittany's back. And so is Joey...

Shane: Come in.

The walk in and sit on my couch. I take a few deep breathes. I can keep blowing up. I walk over and across from them.

Shane: So?

Brittany: Joey wanted to talk to you.

Shane: Ok. Talk.

Joey's POV

I looked down. I was frozen. I can't move or speak. Brittany shakes me. I take a deep breath and look up at Shane's eyes. They looked lonely and cold.

Joey: I-I miss you.

Shane: Yeah.

Joey: What's going on between us?

Shane: Are you serious? You flipped out on me!

He started raising his voice. This won't end good.

Joey: I-I'm sorry Shane.

Shane: For what?!

Joey: I don't know.

Shane: They why are you apologizing?!

Joey: Stop yelling.

Shane: You're making me yell!

He turns around and leaves the room. Brittany and I get up and leave. I flop right back down in my end and cry into my dry pillow. Brittany sighs and says goodbye. I wish I didn't leave. I feel even worse.

Shane's POV

Shane: I hate everyone!

Shane: I hate my life!

Shane: I hate Jo-

I can't say it for some reason. Why?
