Fear Itself [ A Shoey Fanfic ]

|| Joey's P.O.V ||

i pulled the velvet blue blanket over Shane's body, turning the noise of the heart monitor down a little bit. i sighed and reached for my phone in the hoodie Sawyer brought for me. the time read 10:56.

damn. i haven't slept for a good 73 hours. well, i couldn't sleep now, especially after what happened with Shane this morning. i have to watch him in case something does go wrong.

i watched his breath patterns change rapidly.

they sky rocketed and pounded insanely and then dropped really slowly. something was wrong with him. i wish i knew what happened before i found him.

the memory courses through me.

running down the street. my face streaked red with tears. frantically searching down each street for him. a limp body. cold and blue. breath slow. stopped with fear. losing myself. slowly picking up my phone.

i came back to myself. i shook my head. jeez, this is really getting to me. i slowly got up off the uncomfortable window seat and turned to get a blanket from the cabinet. it was green, the same material as Shane's. i wrapped myself in it.

i turned my phone to the camera and turned it towards me. i didn't bring my vlogging camera with me, so this would have to do. i clicked the button and whispered into the phone.

"hey guys!"

i turned off the camera just as i heard the door click open. i shoved my phone in my pocket then stared at shane blankly.

i watched as the doctors talked, then looked at me and shook their heads. something wasn't right here. the doctor slowly wandered over to me and put his hand on my shoulder and firmly yanked me up.

i grunted as he yanked me by the shirt, waking Shane up. this is the first time we've been awake at the same time for awhile. he sleepily reaches for my hand. i tried to grab it. the doctor forcefully pushed it to my side, me wriggling free.

"what is wrong with you?!"

i screamed, pulling my hand from his wrist.

sir, we don't allow "friends" here.

he scowled and pushed me out of the door. i stood facing the cold metal door, my hot breath rebounding off the door.

what the hell is going on?!
