30 Days [Janiel AU]

Joey's POV

As soon as Daniel exits my house, I feel the tears begin to stream down my face. I know I can't let anyone into my life, so why did I allow him into it? It's just going to leave him in complete and utter pain once I'm gone.

I sigh, standing up and sauntering to my bedroom. Sleep seems to be my only option right now. Being awake causes me to think and I can't handle such things right in this moment. The blankets are soon enveloping my body as I climb into the plush bed. As soon as I close my eyes, I feel myself falling into a deep slumber, dreaming of pretty boys with dark hair whom I've hurt this very night.

My eyes open slightly the next morning. I'm blinded briefly by the sunlight shining through my window, but I quickly adjust and rub the sleep from my tired eyes. As soon as I stand up, I feel winded. I've grown used to this feeling, but this morning it seems ten times stronger. As I begin walking towards the stairs, my head begins to spin. This causes my foot to miss the first stair and before I know what's going on, I'm tumbling down the long staircase. The fall seems to drag out longer than it has and as soon as I reach the bottom, my head bangs directly into the corner of one of my small coffee tables.

My vision becomes blurred for a few moments and I sit in great pain for a few brief seconds before everything turns black.

(a/n: small and short but will suffice...{that's what she said} considering there are two more updates😅)
