Meghan's POV

I twisted the golden knob over and over, my knuckles bleeding from hitting the door. My face was moist from my panicking tears. I don't know how long Joey has been in the bathroom, crying. I don't remember anything that happened before, why I ended up back in Joey's bed, why I had a cold towel on my head, why Sawyer was running frantically. But that was the least of my concerns, I needed to know why Joey has broken down. "Joey!" I called out, with less effort this time. It was pointless. 

I threw myself against the white door in frustration, I felt the door shift, revealing the insides of the small bathroom. I ran inside, tripping over my own feet. I hit the side of my face the the edge of the door in excitement. I couldn't feel the pain, I only whipped my tears in one swift motion and kept walking. I saw a pale Joey lying on the cold ground. His eyes fluttered and I didn't know if he could see me. 

I fell beside him, touching his hot, pale face. I suprised myself with the sight of my own fingers, just skin and bone. I touched my nose to his, slowly moving it down to touch his ear. "I love you, forever and always..." I whispered, I almost couldn't hear myself but I heard something else.

"For..vr.. n... .always." I heard Joey stirr. I smiled and kissed his forehead.

"You wanna get up?" I said soothingly, my face was probably red from my tears. Joey didn't give me a reply so I turned my head to Saywer. He looked shaken, but quickly jumped to pick up Joey. I stepped out of the way, grabbing the sink to help me get up. I watched Sawyer pick Joey up, carefully.

"it's funny, just a couple minutes ago, I was doing this to you!" Sawyer said while walking out. Me? Why was he carrying me?

Then it all came back to me. The peircing pain in my stomach. I remember clutching the pain, hoping it would stop with the pressure of my hand, but it didn't. Instead, it increased, I remember the burning sweat gathering on my forehead and the cries I let pour from my mouth. I remember my body pouding in pain until it went numb. Then I remember darkness. 

Wait! I remember Joey! I remember his worried face and I remember not being able to respond to his screams. I remember him kneeling down and telling me I was okay. I remember his voice in my mind as my vision went black at the edges. But his voice was also filled with an unexplainable terror. Was I the one that made him break down like this? How? I needed to figure out what bothered Joey about the situation. We need to talk. He needs to know I trust him, and I'll stay with him. 

Forever and Always.

A/N Kinda a filler chapter. I was gonna have David come home this chapter but I'll save that for the next chapter. IMPORTANT QUESTION! Do you guys like short-ish chapters or long one (kinda like the previous chapter). I always push myself to write long chapters but I want to know if you guys actually like to read something long like that! I will alternate, of course, but it might take the pressure off me to write long chapters if I know what you guys like!! Anyways, long author's note, so baaaiiii!!
