Breaking Free [1]

Reaming hours

Joey

I sit in front of the clock in the room, sitting on a mattress. Counting down. In the mean time, we did explore a little and decorated the hide out a little. We all have our own bed and that stuff.

"Hey." Lauren says as she comes and sits down next to me.

"Hey." I reply.

"I know you won't care but I have to tell something that I haven't told anyone else." She starts.

"I will care. This other me probably wont, but you know the real one will. And if you haven't told Alex, then it's important." I explain to her.

"Well. I guess." Lauren smiles. She then starts whispering. "I'm pregnant."

I gasp. "Lauren!" I smile. "When did you find out?"

"I took a test. I snuck a test thing in my bag before we left. I found out maybe a day ago."

"This is wonderful!" I say. "When are you gonna tell Alex."

"I dunno. What if he doesn't love me anymore when I tell him? I mean, we aren't even married." She answers.

"You better tell him soon. He will find out by you doing less activity and sleeping more. Plus, your stomach will grow. And, you'll need to keep me away from you."

"You're going to help me. And I mean later. And I don't care if you have a curse." She says with a smirk. I chuckle.

"We better start last words, to Joey!" I say.

"I'll get Meghan." Lauren told me. Meghan walks over and we hug tight.

"We will still be best friends. When you have a curse. And when you marry Daniel." She says as she starts to cry.

"Hey! Don't cry. It will be alright. The cursed Joey may not like you, but you know the real Joey will. I've been telling everyone that." I told her. We hugged tight one last time and she got both Alex and Tyler.

"Thanks for bringing me back to life." Alex says as he hugs me.

"You are special and one of the funniest people I met." Tyler told me.

"You guys will still be my friends. Like I've been telling everyone, the cursed Joey may not like you, but the real Joey will." I tell them. We hug tight and they get Daniel.

We sit in silence. I only have 2 mintues until midnight.

"I don't wanna lose you." I said under my breath as tears started pouring out of my eyes.

"You won't. I will still love you no matter how much you hate me. I will love you even if you don't wanna be with me. Just think of this as a... think we can take care of. I'm sure we can control this." Daniel.

My voice than went shaky. "A-all these ye-years on my own. F-fight my fight, all a-alone. Un-until you came. D-don't y-you know..." I tried singing to feel a little better.

"Hey, hey." He said whipping my tears. "It'll be okay. We will get through this together."

"20 seconds!" Lauren yelled.

19, 18, 17, 16...

"You are so important to me, Joey." Daniel said rushing.

10, 9, 8, 7...

"I will love you no matter what!" He finished and we hugged tight.

4, 3, 2...

My eyes shined green and I passed out.

Daniel

I don't want to lose Joey. I wanted to tell him how much I loved him. I hugged him tight one last time. His eyes went green and he passed out in the bed. I lifted him up and out him under the blankets.

When I climbed in bed, I held him close. One last time. He felt lifeless. Dead. I held in my tears. This was my last time of me being close to him.
