Chapter 39- Blank Ceiling

Chapter 39- Blank Ceiling

Shane's POV

Three days of concerts. I'm tired of touring. But I don't have many concerts left thankfully.

I lay down on my bed in my hotel room. I look at my phone in my hand. I haven't talked to Joey since I woke him up really early a few days ago. He hasn't called me either. I'm kinda worried since he could be hurt or upset.

I call him and let the phone ring. He finally picks up. I stare at the blank ceiling.

Joey: Hey Shane...

Shane: Hey babe. Are you ok? You haven't called in a few days.

Joey: Neither have you!

I stayed silent for a second. I wasn't expecting that from him. He seemed almost angry.

Shane: Joey what's going on?

Joey: Nothing. I'm fine.

Shane: You sure?

Joey: I said I'm fine!

He was yelling at me again. This broke my heart. Were we fighting? Our relationship is already so difficult, I don't want to mess anything up.

Shane: You seem tense. Got something on your mind?

He sighed.

Joey: Yeah...

Shane: Is that why you were yelling at me?

Joey: Sorry.

Shane: It's fine. Tell me what's wrong.

Joey: Don't take this the wrong way but I wish I wasn't dating you.

Shane: Are you breaking up with me?

Joey: No! I mean I love you so much Shane but I just want to go back to being normal. I hate all of this unwanted attention.

Shane: Oh Joey. I'm sorry. I should've known this would've happened. It's my fault, I made our relationship public.

Joey: Shane don't blame yourself. I'm just stressed over everyone bothering me.

Shane: I know. It will be over soon. Just hang on Joey. Soon enough you won't have to deal with this as much.

Joey: I know. Hey Shane?

Shane: Yes?

Joey: When do you think you'll visit me again? I miss you so much already.

Shane: Soon I hope.

Joey: Ok... I love you. Bye.

Shane: I love you too babe. Bye.

I hang up. I'm happy I made him feel better. Also I have a surprise for him soon. I know he'll love it.

Joey's POV

I sigh after hanging up. I hate the attention I'm getting. I text Brittany and ask her to come over.

A few minutes later I hear a knock on my bedroom door and she walks in.

Brittany: Hey. You ok?

Joey: I'm fine.

Brittany: Why did you want me to come over?

I sat up and she sat down on the bed next to me.

Joey: I'm getting a bunch of unwanted attention. I just hate it.

Brittany: Did you talk to Shane about it?

Joey: Of course. He thinks it's his fault.

Brittany: It isn't!

Joey: I know. That's what I told him. Anyways, I still miss him and I just feel bummed out. I want to go on a date with Shane and just hug him.

Brittany: You know he's coming back soon. After all you're close to 18 and you're graduating soon. You'll see him soon.

Joey: Yeah... That doesn't stop me from missing him though.

Brittany: You still have me.

I smile and hug her.

Joey: I know. You're the best friend I could ever ask for. Even if it seems like I care about Shane more than you. I care for you just as much as I care for Shane.

Brittany: I know. Just remember I'm always here for you. No matter what happens between us.

Joey: Thank you Brittany.

I let go of her. Then a thought popped into my head.

Joey: My birthday!

Brittany: What about?

Joey: Maybe Shane will come home then. I mean all I need is my boyfriend.

Brittany: I wouldn't count on it but you're right. He might come.

Joey: That would be great if he did. He makes me forget all of the crap that's going on.

I lay down on my bed and stare at the blank ceiling. I can imagine Shane doing the same right now. I smile. Maybe he's thinking about me too.
