(Shane’s pov)

I awoke in an unfamiliar room. I didn’t see Joey; or anything for that matter. I was in my bed, but nothing else was the same. I got up and left the room. I realized I was in me and Joey’s new apartment. Why wouldn’t he be here? I walked down the stairs quietly and found Joey sitting on the couch. I looked down when he noticed me.

Joey: How are you feeling?

I didn’t answer. I didn’t know what to say. What do you say to the person you’re in love with after you tried to kill yourself?

Joey: Come here, sit down.

He led me to the couch and wrapped his arms around me. Feeling guilty, I started to cry.

Joey: Don’t cry Shane, everything’s okay.

He calmed me down whispering things to me. Why wasn’t he asking me questions?

Joey: You should just take it easy today; rest, go online, do nothing. Whatever you want.

Shane: I’m sorry.

It was barely a whisper, but somehow he heard me.

Joey: Look at me.

I looked up at him and his face showed everything but anger. I stared into his eyes and he leaned in and kissed me.

(Joey’s pov)

I didn’t want to make him feel guilty more than he already was. I guess I was doing the right thing because while I was comforting him, he fell asleep. He was the reason my life was amazing. I couldn’t even think about what I’d do if I wasn’t there to push him out of the way.

Joey: Shane, wake up.

He woke up an looked at me.

Joey: Are you okay? Tell the full truth.

Shane: I am when you’re here.
