Give Up (Shoey)

Chapter 8- Proposal

Chapter 8- Proposal

Joey's POV

I call Shane. And as I guessed, he wouldn't pick up. I decide to leave him a voicemail. I take a deep breath before I give him my message.

Joey: Shane I love you and I know that you're proposing to Lisa. But please come back to me. I need you Shane. Don't you remember all of those happy times we had together? All the times we said we loved each other? I love you so much I can't live without you. If you don't call me back then I guess this will be our last goodbye. I will not live without the man I love. Don't even try to stop me unless you can say you love me and you mean. So this is up to you Shane. I love you. Goodbye.

I sit next to my phone for two hours. He doesn't call me back. I knew he wouldn't care. I give up. Lisa wins and I'll be out of the picture.

I take the piece of paper and pen I grabbed. I write a note for the person that finds me. I tape it to the bathroom door. Then I sink to the floor and cry. I never thought my life would end up like this. I need Shane but he's gone. I search through my cabinets until I find a razor.

I glance at my phone next to me. Still no call from Shane. I cry for another hour before I decide I'm ready. I bring the blade up to my wrist.

Shane's POV

I get a call from Joey while I was ring shopping. I ignore it. He leaves me a voicemail. I'll read it later.

I've been searching for about an hour when I find the perfect one. I buy it and hide it in my pocket. I intend on proposing as soon as I get home.

When I get home Lisa isn't around. I decide to make a fancy dinner. I set the table and cook some chicken. Lisa comes home just as I'm finishing dinner.

Lisa: What's going on?

Shane: I made dinner. Sit and we can eat.

We eat the dinner. I actually did pretty good. But as we finish I become nervous. I hope I don't mess this up. I want her to say yes and for everyone to know that I will not leave her.

Lisa: Thank you for that very romantic meal Shane.

I stand in front of her before she could leave. She looked confused. I take a deep breath. I wish I had practiced this...

I get down on one knee and pull out the ring. She gasps and tears up.

Shane: Lisa, will you...
