Shane's POV
I rushed up the stairs before anyone could see me. In the process, I managed to trip over a prop box it the hallway, and costumes, wigs and props flew everywhere.
"Shit!"
I mumbled, bending down to start picking stuff up. I heard some talking down stairs and then footsteps, and I heard lauren call:
"Tell Him, It's better he knows."
My stomach twisted. I felt so sad. Joey was going to tell Sawyer he likes him. He's actually going to do it. Done. My chances of being with him are Done. Wait... What am I saying?! Sawyer won't like Joey... He's straight. There's still a twisted feeling in my stomach though, I'm still scared Sawyer might like him. Now that would be horrible. I would never forgive myself! I was lost in my own thoughts and I didn't notice Lauren behind me.
"Shane?"
She asked calmly. I guess she noticed the blank, sad expression on my face. I looked up at her and took in a deep breath.
"Shane, what wrong?"
she asked genuinely concerned.
"I love him so much."
I laid on the hardwood beneath me and just stared at the ceiling.
"H-He doesn't like me Lauren."
I said quietly.
"He Likes Sawyer. Sawyer of all people. And it's my fault. I ruin everything."
I groaned flipping onto my stomach. Lauren rubbed my back.
"Shane, it's ok."
She whispered.
"No, no it's not. Nothing is ever right. Nothing can ever be "smooth sailing" when it comes to me and love. something is always in my way, always keeping me from people. I'm old enough to be married for god sake and I'm here crying about a guy I love."
I felt miserable.
"Well Shane, what about Joey? What would he have felt like when he had to stop kissing you? He didn't want to tell you he didn't love you, yet it was something that had to be done Shane, in this case, you have to move on. You can't cry over Joey the rest of your life? Now let's clean this crap up!"
I nodded, she had A point. I started to help her clean.
Joey's POV
My hands were shaky on the steering wheel. I tuned up the music as a distraction but it just made it worse. I felt so many emotions right now.
I felt nervous. I was so scared to tell Sawyer I liked him. I hoped that he wouldn't get weirded out, and that he didn't reject me really badly. I also hoped he actually liked me, this was my chance to form a relationship.
I also felt happy. The love made me feel giddy. I just wanted to hug Sawyer and tell him howling he means to me.
I was Satisfied. Let's be honest, I haven't kissed anyone in 2 years, it felt pretty damn relieving.
Most of all though, I was sad, disappointed, I felt bad... For Shane. I wish I could have talked to him more before I left, but I didn't have time. I really wished he knew how sorry I was and that he would understand.
I pulled into the driveway and shakily pulled the key from the ignition. I slowly walked up the steps, and walked in immediately, the door being unlocked.
"S-Sawyer?"
I called.
"Hey Joey!! Hows it goin?"
He said rushing down the stairs.
"Um... I need to talk to you..."
I mumbled and he looked my sad face over.
"Are you okay?!"
He asked worried.
I nodded and lead him Over to the couch and sat down.
"Yeah I'm fine Sawyer, we just really need to talk."
