Shoey Gets Real

Not Here Not Now

Author's POV

Joey was lying in a bed with the hospital gown on him. Shane sat by his bed side waiting for him to wake up. waiting for him to get better. hoping he will get better. Shane grabed Joey's hand and a few tears would roll down his cheek every so often.

he has to make it through. he has too. shane would always think those exact words, he has too. whenever he was thinking he could think about is Joey. Him lying there, lifeless. Shane couldn't sleep, knowing the nightmares of Joey dying would return.

He knew if he thought Joey would die that all hope would be lost. nobody knew what was wrong with him. the doctor was nervous he couldn't help this cute couple. everyone they knew they were there at the hospital.

Lisa: Shane can I talk to you?

Shane: Sure I guess.

He walked out of the room with Lisa. as soon as they got out there Lisa planted a kiss on Shane's lips. He pulled away. He said nothing assuming that Lisa would know what he would have said.

Lisa: I sorry but I had to know...

Shane: Know what?

Lisa: Know if you still loved me...I guess not.

Lisa walked away crying. her hair was a disaster and so was she. Shane was upset at Lisa now that she kissed him in attempt to get him back. Why would she do that? Doesn't she have Sawyer? Shane walked back in Joey's room. he took Joey's hand.

Shane: I'm sorry...

the doctor walked in the room

Doctor: He is in a coma.

He put his free hand over his face. what caused it? Shane was thinking it but couldn't say it. he was so upset. Joey's hand was burning hot. it made sense since he has a fever.

Shane: Stay with me...please don't leave me.

Zoella walked in the room. she rubbed Shane's back.

Zoella: He will be fine Shane.

Shane: You don't know that.

Zoella: I don't...but I do know he won't let you go no matter what happens. He won't leave without saying goodbye.

this made Shane cry a bit more then he already was. he turn into Zoella and cried on her. he still held Joey's hand while crying and hugging Zoella.

Zoella: Shhh...

Shane was still crying.

Zoella: Hush little baby don't say a word...

Zoella began to sing.

Zoelle: Mommy's gonna buy you a golden bird...

They both sat down. By now Zoella began to break down in tears. Now both if Shane's hand were on Joey. Zoella had one hand on Joey and the other on Shane. Both of them were close to Joey. Holding his hand, stroking his hair.

Doctor: Shane Yaw...may I speak to you?

Zoella: Anything you say to him you say to me.

Doctor: Alright...

Shane and Zoella turned around, still holding Joey's hand.

Doctor: He has a rare condition... He might wake up if we give him the antibiotics, do you want to hear the details or no?

Shane: No just give him the antibiotics.

the doctor nodded. A nurse walked in with a small bag of antibiotics, she hung them up and gave them to Joey.

*A few Days Later*

Shane was still waiting at Joey's side. Shane hasn't left Joey. Zoella has been bringing Shane food and water. Joey moved his head slightly.

Shane: Joey... are you awake?

Joey's eyes squinted, and Shane's teared up.

Zoella: How you doing Sh-

Shane: Joey is waking up I think.

Zoella: Oh my god.

Joey moved his head a bit more. he squeezed Shane's hand. Joy fled through Shane and Zoella.

Shane: Can you hear me Joey?

Joey squeezed Shane's hand a little harder. Joey opened his eyes.

Joey: Yes Shane. I can hear you.
