Protection (Shoey)

Chapter 16- Help

Chapter 16- Help

Joey's POV

I sat on the bed crying for an hour straight until Shane's mom noticed my absence. She came upstairs and I told her everything. I knew she was sad about it too but she didn't cry.

Shane's Mom: Maybe you should go talk to a friend and get their help to find Shane.

Joey: Yeah. You're right. I shouldn't sit around and cry. I have to find him.

I hug her. She smiles and walks out. I call Meghan. After a few rings she picks up.

Meghan: Hey Joey! What's up?

Joey: I need your help. Could I come over?

Meghan: Are you crying? What's wrong? And sure you can come over.

Joey: I'll tell you when I come over. See you in a few minutes. Bye.

I hang up and run out to my car. I quickly drive over to Meghan's. I knock on her door. When I saw her I started crying again.

I couldn't help it. I felt so helpless. She brought me inside and we sat on the couch.

Again I had to explain everything to Meghan. At the end my face was wet with tears. Meghan hugged me.

Meghan: Well I can't say I ship Shoey...

Joey: Please Meghan. I need someone to help me.

Meghan: I'll help you. I see how much you care for Shane. I can tell you love him. I'll help you find him.

Joey: But I have no idea who took him. How are we supposed to save him?

Meghan: I think I know who took him.

Joey: Who?!

Meghan: Lisa and Sawyer.

Shane's POV

I sat in the chair. I've been here for hours. All Lisa and Sawyer have been doing is whispering. Probably about me.

I look around to see if I recognize this place. It's just a big dark room. I sigh.

There's no way I can escape. And there's probably no way Joey will be able to find me. I began to cry again.

Shane: Please let me talk to Joey. Please.

I cried harder. The more I thought about being away from Joey the sadder I got. Then I thought about being trapped in here forever and never seeing Joey again.

I would rather die and watch over Joey as an angel. That way I could protect him.

Lisa: It's ok babe. You'll forget about Joey soon.

Sawyer: And if you're good we'll untie you.

Shane: Untie me now! I need Joey!

Sawyer: Forget about Joey. You'll never see him again.

That made me cry again. I squirmed in my seat. I wanted to be untied. I wanted to run away. I just wanted to fall asleep in Joey's arms knowing he would protect me.

Lisa: Stop crying over that bastard. He doesn't deserve you. If we must, we'll take care of Joey.

I froze. They can't hurt Joey. I can't let them. So now I have to go along with whatever they say if I want Joey to be ok.

I can imagine Joey searching for me now. I know he will save. I have faith in him. Joey's smart. He will find help and come up with a plan. It might take a while but I know I'll be reunited with my Joey soon.

I watched Sawyer and Lisa walk away, satisfied with my silence. I looked down and whispered.

Shane: I love you Joey. I hope to see you soon...
