"Joey!" Sawyer yells up the stairs.

He came back! I quickly wipe my face, tear free.

"Yeah?" I yell back.

"Any chance you could give me a lift there and back?"

He came back to go.

"Ermm ... Yeah sure." I say disappointed.

I walk downstairs.

"Sorry, it's just that I assume I'm doing another drunken video with Tyler," He explains. "Do you know how to get there?"

"I know my way around."

We both get in Satzuki.

I drop Sawyer off and am kind of upset to let him leave. I know I have to talk to someone about this. I would go to Meghan's, but she's out of town. Who could I talk to? I scroll my contacts list on my phone and I see Stacy's name. She's kind and understanding, I'll go talk to her. I drive to Stacy's and I am quickly greeted by Paige. I knock on Stacy's door and she opens.

"Hi Joey!" She greets me

"Hi, ermm, I need to talk about something important."

"Sure, come on in!"

I sit down on her couch and she sits next to me.

"So, what's wrong?"

I explain my situation to Stacy. She doesn't interrupt at all, just listens, I really needed that sort of support.

"Wow, well obviously you need to tell Sawyer -"

"I know, bu-"

"Hey! I was not done talking Mr. Graceffa." I laugh a bit

"Sorry." I say, still smiling.

"Thank you. As I was saying before I got rudely interrupted, you need tell Sawyer, yes, but you shouldn't just pile a load of hate on Tyler, just because he MIGHT be trying to have Sawyer, you don't know 100%."

"Yeah, I guess you're right." I admit, I'm not entirely sure of Tyler's motives.

"Okay, so about telling Sawyer, we can work on that. Just imagine I'm Sawyer and tell me."

"Stacy that's ridicul-"

"Who's Stacy? My names Sawyer," She says in the worst man accent ever, bad enough to make us both burst out laughing. "Okay, serious." She says after we calm down.

"Fine."

I practise with Stacy until I think I'm ready. It didn't take that long, so we play some good, old MCSG. Not recorded, just for fun. I play on Stacy's new laptop, while she plays on her old one. I have to admit, I did not miss the constant weird noise her old laptop makes.

After 2 hours.

"I gotta go pick up Sawyer." I say as I get my stuff.

"Good luck Joey! And remember what we went through!"

"Will do! Thank you so much Stacy!" I say as I hug her.

I then leave and get in Satzuki. I make my way to Tyler's. Once I get there I text Sawyer, saying I'm outside, shortly after he walks out the door. He walks fine and gets in the car normally.

"Sawyer, I thought you were doing a drunk collab."

"Oh, no we decided not to," He says "But thank you for giving me a lift."

"No problem boy!" I try and sound casual.

As I drive home, I occasionally glance over at Sawyer, he spends the whole time looking out the side window. 'You need to tell him. You need to tell him. You need to tell him.' The more I think about it, the more nervous I get, and I keep thinking about it. My leg starts to shake and my awareness of other cars is fading. Should I be driving? I shouldn't be driving. I panic even more. My leg shakes more violently, until it hits the accelerator pedal, hard. The car swerves onto the other side of the road. We crash.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dun, dun, dun! So, if Joey's on the left side of the car and the car goes left and crashes, won't that mean Joey will be the one worse off? :O I should know, I'm writing it... THANKS FOR READING!!!
