Chapter 6- Slut

Chapter 6- Slut

Joey's POV

Shane has been recovering quickly. He'll be out of the hospital soon.

And he seems so much happier. I'm glad I saved him from Lisa.

I won't let anyone lay their hands on Shane so long as I live.

I walk into his room. He smiles as soon as he sees me.

Joey: Hey babe.

I give him a kiss then sit next to him. I grab his hand and rub it.

Shane: Do you know when I can leave?

Joey: Nope. But probably a few days.

Shane: Ah shit!

Joey: What?

Shane: Well I don't know where I'm supposed to live and I can't go get my stuff from Lisa. I'm too scared.

Joey: Well I can get your stuff for you. Then I can take it back to my apartment.

Shane: I'm gonna live with you?

Joey: Yeah.

Shane: What about Sawyer.

Joey: He'll understand. Trust me. I'll take care of it.

Shane: Fine. I love you.

Joey: I love you.

We sit around for a while. We talk, joke around, and I try to cheer Shane up.

Joey: Hey, I'm gonna go now. Ok?

Shane: Ok.

He leans forward and gives me a kiss. I kiss back then pull away.

Joey: I'll be back tomorrow morning. I promise.

I leave the hospital and drive to Lisa's apartment. I knock at the door.

After a minute she comes to the door. I can see some guy on her couch with lipstick all over his face.

Lisa: F*ggot.

Joey: Slut.

Lisa: What do you want?

Joey: I'm here to pick up Shane's things.

Lisa: Fine. Make it quick. I'm busy.

I roll my eyes. She immediately finds another guy right after hurting Shane? That's the worst thing I've ever heard.

I ignore her and go to her bedroom. I go into the closet and get all of Shane's clothes. Then I go through the rest of the rooms, collecting his things and placing them into boxes.

I put all of the boxes into my car. Lisa gives me dirty looks every time we make eye contact.

Once I have my last box I flip her off and get into my car. I drive to my apartment.

Sawyer looks confused when he sees me carrying in a box.

Sawyer: What's that?

Joey: A box of Shane's things.

Sawyer: Why-

Joey: I'm sorry I didn't ask you before but can he stay here? I really want him to be with me so I can make sure that he's safe.

Sawyer: It's fine with me as long as he doesn't get messy.

Joey: Fine. Thank you Sawyer.

Sawyer: Need help with the rest of those boxes?

Joey: Yeah. Thanks again.

Sawyer: No problem Joey.

We bring all of the boxes up to our apartment. Then I carry them one by one up to my bedroom.

I clean up a little to make room for the boxes. I take out most of Shane's clothes and put them in my closet.

After I'm done I fall onto my bed completely exhausted. But it's worth it.

I fall asleep knowing I will need to get up early to visit Shane tomorrow.

I can't wait to have him home. It will be nice to see him smile and not worry about Lisa.
