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

Chapter 9: Let Them Die

~Joey's POV~

The guy I loved was lying on top of me, practically shoving his tongue down my throat.  

Not to mention earlier today he had rejected me.  

I thought I heard a knock on the door, but I ignored it.  Shane's lips glided across mine, and everywhere our bodies touched, I felt a spark of electricity.

There was no other way to describe it...it was perfect.

The knock came again, but this time it was more like a pounding.

Shane broke the kiss and smirked.

Shane: Looks like someone wants to get in.

He rolled off of me, and I could see the back of Sawyer's head in the tiny window.

Shane opened the door and sat back on my bed.  Sawyer turned around, hand over his eyes.

Sawyer: You decent?

I blushed, and Shane rolled his eyes.

Shane: No, we're butt-naked but we let you in anyways.

Sawyer took his hand away from his eyes and looked at us.  His cheeks were strangely flushed, and his hair was messed up.

Joey: You okay?

Sawyer: Yeah, I'm fine.  I can see you two are more than fine yourselves.

So he wasn't going to tell us.  I could interrogate him later at the house.

Shane: Yeah, I guess you could say that.

Shane interlocked his fingers with mine, and I felt that same surge of electricity travel through our hands.

Sawyer grinned.

Sawyer: You do realize you will kill the shippers, right?  I mean, once you tell everyone.

Shane: Let them die.

Joey: Oh my god, Shane!  That is so bad!

Shane laughed and squeezed my hand to show me that he was just joking.  In return, I gave him an evil smile.

Joey: My psychopaths will slit your throat.

Shane giggled and pressed his lips into mine again.  Before we could get too carried away, Sawyer cleared his throat.

Sawyer: I just came back in here to tell you that Lisa's free to go today.  Do you want me to stay with her?  You guys seem...busy.

~Shane's POV~

Oh, he didn't know how much I wanted to get "busy" with Joey...but of course the innuendo flew over Joey's head.

Shane: Oh sure, that'd be great, thanks.

Sawyer seemed more than eager to go back to Lisa's room, and I'd rather be in here with Joey, anyways.

Wait.  Joey and I would have to tell Lisa about us sooner or later, why not now?

Shane: Wait, Sawyer!

He walked back into the door, looking confused.

Sawyer: Yeah?

Shane: If Lisa's feeling up to it, could you bring her in here?

Luckily Sawyer didn't ask me why, just nodded and left.

Joey: Why did you ask him to bring Lisa, babe?

Babe.  I smiled at how easily the word fell from his lips.  Those plump, tasty lips...

Shane: I wanted to tell her about us...is that okay with you?

Joey: Yeah, sure.

He looked kind of crestfallen.  Well, duh Shane!  You were dating her for the past 2 years, why wouldn't he be jealous?

Shane:  Sorry, Joey, I should have asked you first.

Joey: No it's okay, Shane.  I trust you.

He looked up at me with his wide, sparkling eyes.  Joey trusted me.  After all I did to him...actually, just today.

Today, I broke his heart and somehow, miraculously, found a way to fix it.

Shane: Joey, can I ask you something?

Joey: Anything.

Shane: What's it like to be in love?

Joey: Weren't you in love with Lisa?

Shane: I'm not so sure any more.

Joey: Well...I'm in love right now, so that's easy.

He smiled at me, then launched into his explanation.

Joey:  When you're in love...it seems like the world revolves around this one person.  You feel the need to know everything and anything about them.  Seeing them, whether it be online or through texts or in person, makes your entire day.  You can always count on them to be there emotionally for you, even if they don't speak a word.  Just knowing that they know you exist and that they care about you is enough to fix everything.  The one you're in love with has no flaws...you naturally overlook any flaws that they may claim they have.  You'd take a bullet for them, even if you're unsure they'd do the same for you.  This person is your entire life.  Nothing else matters besides this person.  They make you feel special, even if they treat you the exact same way they do anyone else, but the fact that they took the time to glance your way or send you a little text means the world to you.  Each and every time you make physical contact, you feel shocks of electricity.  Even if you just brush hands, you'll notice.  You prize them above all other people.  It's positively magical what they can make you feel.  You'd stay up a whole night or two to help them solve one of their own problems, and you wouldn't feel exhausted at all. 

Joey smiled at me and wiped a tear off my cheek.  I didn't even know I started crying, but I felt the shock he described when his hand brushed my face.

Joey: No other feeling in the world can compare.

I placed my hand on the back of his neck and pulled him closer to me, kissing him softly.  He sighed into the kiss, and I couldn't resist smiling.

Finally, he pulled away and we caught our breath.

Shane: Joey?

Joey: Yeah?

Shane: I think I'm in love.
