Give Up (Shoey)

Chapter 9- Together

Chapter 9- Together

Shane's POV

I froze.

I pull out the ring and get down on one knee.

Shane: Joey, will you marry me?

Mom: I know his answer will be yes.

All of my memories came flooding back. Everything.

Shane: I'm sorry Lisa but I can't marry you.

I put the ring away and stand up. Her smile fades.

Lisa: Why not?

Shane: I love Joey Graceffa.

She suddenly slapped me in the face and left. I ran into the bedroom and grabbed all of my things and threw them into boxes. I put them all in my car. I sat in the front and called Joey.

No answer. That's weird. I thought he would pick up right away. Then I remember the voicemail he left. I play it.

I feel heartbroken. I can't let him kill himself. I feel even more devastated when I realize how long ago that was. 3 hours.

I drive to his apartment as fast as I could. I walk right in.

Shane: Joey?

Silence. I run around and check every room. Then I see the note on the bathroom door.

I'm sorry you had to find me like this but I just couldn't live without Shane.

~Joey

I felt tears roll down my face. I open the door and see a horrible sight. Joey is laying in a puddle of blood. He has cuts up his arms and down his legs. I kneel beside him.

I check his wrist. He still has a pulse! And he's still breathing. I'm not too late! I quickly pull out my phone and call the paramedics. I hold Joey's hand until they come. I follow them to the ambulance.

Paramedic: Who are you?

Shane: Shane Dawson, his boyfriend.

They let me ride with them. The whole time I think about if he'll ever forgive me if he lives. Once we get to the hospital I wait in the waiting room. I take deep breathes.

Joey will be ok. Joey will be ok.

I start to cry. I call my mom. She can comfort me.

Mom: Shane? What's wrong?

Shane: I broke up with Lisa because I remember everything and I love Joey. But when I went over to his house I found that he tried to kill himself. It's all my fault. I killed him.

Mom: No sweetie. He's still alive. He will be ok.

Shane: Do you think he'll forgive me?

Mom: I know he will.

I smile. I believe my mom. She is right. After we get out of the hospital Joey and I can be together again.
