*READ: Listen to Mirrors Nightcore Dubstep while reading =)*

[Joey's POV]

Sitting on a cold bench while it's raining is hell. I was sure I had hypothermia, no doubt. I was cold for awhile until someone behind me put some sort of blanket around me. I looked behind me and there stood an old woman.

Old Woman: You seemed cold.

Joey: Well, it is raining..

Old Woman: You're making it rain with your sadness, sweetheart...

Joey: What do you mean?

Old Woman: I can tell you're upset.. Being upset makes life look dark and cold.

Joey: Oh ok..

Old Woman: Go back to him..

Joey: How do yo-

Old Woman: You've been whispering "Sawyer" for awhile now.. Sounds like someone you love, dearly.

Joey: You're not against gays?

Old Woman: Of course not! Gay rights are human rights. (A/N Macklemore reference)

Joey: You're really wise.

Old Woman: Thank you. I have to go now. Keep your head up high, and remember to not run away from your problems.. it's like running a race that you'll never win.

I nodded. The old woman walked away, slowly. She's so nice. She's right too. I remembered what Shane said about running away. I should of stayed at home and..no. That would have been worse.. I don't know anymore. I heard someone calling my name. I looked behind me once again and saw Meghan with..Sawyer.

Meghan: Joey, it's freezing rain and you're out here!

Joey: An old woman gave me a blanket. I'm f-fine.

I was literally freezing my butt off even WITH the blanket. I looked over at Sawyer and he stared at me. I looked over at Meghan.

Meghan: Can't you guys talk to each other?

I looked down. I got up from the bench.

Joey: I'm cold.

Sawyer: Let's go in the car.

We all walked over to Sawyer's car. I sat in the back, not wanting to sit in the front. Sawyer's car was warm and I fell asleep, thinking about to the wise old woman.

[Sawyer's POV]

Meghan: He's asleep.

Sawyer: Okay.

Meghan: Stop acting like you don't give a crap about him!

Sawyer: Well-

Meghan: He freaking loves you and you never let him explain himself!

Sawyer: I just thought-

Meghan: Sawyer, just remember to let him talk.

Sawyer: Right..

I drove home, quickly. Joey was still asleep when we arrived so I carried him bridal-style inside. I put him down on the couch. I turned around and Shane stood there with his arms crossed.

Shane: You have serious issues.

Sawyer: What do you mean?

Shane: You hurt Joey and now you seem to "love" him.

Sawyer: I've always loved him.

Shane: It looked like you didn't give a single shit about him earlier.
