Protection (Shoey)

Chapter 10- Coming Out

Chapter 10- Coming Out

Shane's POV

We filmed our coming out video. I was so afraid of everyone's reactions. But Joey reassured me that everything would be ok.

Joey: Wanna upload it now?

Shane: Uh...

He walks over to me and kisses my cheek.

Joey: Don't worry babe.

He sits down on my lap facing me.

Shane: I'm afraid of how everyone will react. I don't want our friends or family to hate us.

Joey: I promise that no one will hurt you Shane. If anyone tries, I'll protect you.

I lean forward and rest my head on his shoulder.

Shane: Ok. Upload it.

Joey: You'll have to get off of me first.

Shane: No...

Joey: If we post the video we can cuddle.

Shane: Fine.

Joey's POV

I sit up and he gets off of my lap. He sits next me. I hold his hand and wait for the video upload.

Joey: And... done!

We decided to wait a few minutes and look at some of the comments. Some were nice like;

"Omg! Shoey is real!"

"You two are soooooo cute!"

"Finally! I knew it was real all along!"

And some were nasty like;

"Disgusting f*ggots"

"F*ck Shane. Joey could do so much better."

"I hate Shoey. Cat and Joey are much better."

I squeezed his hand tighter and he looked away. I turned off the computer.

Joey: Some people won't like us. Others will. But no matter what I won't leave you. I love you Shane.

Shane: I love you too Joey.

Joey: Now let's get away from the computer for a bit.

I stand up. He stands up with me. I lead him up to the bedroom. We lay down in our bed.

Shane: How do you think our friends will react?

Joey: I don't know. But I'm sure they'll be fine with us.

We laid in silence. He slid a little bit closer. I wrapped my arms around Shane. He laid his head on my chest.

Shane: Joey?

Joey: Yeah?

Shane: Who do you think posted those pictures?

Joey: I don't know... They only person who could've taken those pictures was...

I quickly sat up. He sat up with me. I was furious.

Joey: Sawyer! That asshole!

Shane: Calm down. Let's ask him later ok?

Joey: Why not ask him now?

Shane: Don't pick a fight Joey. It's unnecessary.

Joey: I don't care. I have a feeling I know why he posted them.
