Lost to Me ~A Shoey Fanfic~ *ON HOLD*

Chapter 8: Leap of Faith

~Shane's POV~

I looked at Kaitlyn out of the corner of my eye, hoping she would speak up and I wouldn't have to go back to the front desk to get a slip or something.  I've had enough exercise for the week.

Kaitlyn: Oh! Joey's my patient. You can just go, it's okay...he's in room 199.

She gave me a reassuring smile, and I sighed.

Shane: Thank you.

Kaitlyn: No problem!  By the way, someone else is into visit him, too.

Shane: Who?

Zoe: It's Sawyer.

Shane: Okay, thanks.

Sawyer might have to get a room of his own soon...

I took off down the hall.

How long have they been dating?  

Who asked who out?  

So many questions...I'll have to ask Sawyer before I try to punch the crap out of him.

It's Sawyer...I highly doubt he'll just stand there and take it. 

I was glad Joey's room wasn't too far away...I got there before long, and peered in the tiny window in the door.  

Sawyer was sitting on Joey's bed, and they were laughing about something.  I couldn't tell if they were holding hands or not, but I didn't care...

I needed to know what happened between them.

I turned the handle and shoved the door open.

~Joey's POV~

I finally got the courage to tell Sawyer what had happened between Shane and me...After all he's done today, he more than deserved to hear the story.

After I was done, Sawyer looked at me with a gaze that completely dripped pity.

Sawyer: Joey...

Joey: It's fine, I'm fine...now.

But my headache was killing me, to be honest...

Sawyer: Wouldn't that be funny if Shane was here too?  What if he had a little too much to drink, too.

Joey: I highly doubt he had fucking Fireball Cinammon Whiskey...it feels like the devil was inside of me!

Sawyer started laughing, and then I joined in.  I felt like I hadn't laughed in a long time...and it felt good.

I heard the door open, but Sawyer was blocking my view.  I sat up, and to my surprise and dismay, Shane was standing there.

Joey: Sh-Sh-Shane?  What are you doing here?

Shane: Isn't it obvious? I came to see you.  

Sawyer stood up and walked over to Shane.

Sawyer: So, is that how you want to play, huh? Sure, lemme break someone's heart, then come laugh at them in the fucking hospital of all places?

~Shane's POV~

Damn...with Sawyer as his boyfriend, no one would ever touch, let alone look at Joey the wrong way again.

I couldn't believe it...

Shane: Um, no, because I came over here to talk.  Not laugh.  Now, I would appreciate it if you would leave your boyfriend for one fucking second so I could talk to him.

~Joey's POV~

Boyfriend?  Where did Shane get that idea from?

I looked over to Sawyer, who had completely dropped the tough-guy act and was collapsed in a chair, laughing so hard he was almost crying.
