(Shane's POV)

Its hot outside.

The sun shines brightly over the lake we were at.

Sitting on the soft grass, looking over all of natures beauty.

Shane: so...this is the place?

(Joeys POV)

Joey: yeah, I always use to come here after school.

-flash back-

Gay

Faggot

Ugly

All of those Words that were meant to be hurtful, did hurt as I walked through the hall.

Everyone pushing me around.

The jocks did everything.

Pushing my head on the toilet seat in the bathroom, then slamming the lid of the toilet on my head. Cause me to black out and my head to bleed.

They punched me, kicked me, and held me down as they would torture me until I eventually blacked out every time.

It was one winter day. I was walking to school.

The two jocks that usually picked on me more than the others were standing....staring at me as I walked passed them trying not to be recognized by putting my hoodie up.

Of coarse they noticed me eventually.

They ran at me.

I ran as fast as I could, the school was so close and I had to make it in so they couldn't get to me.

But it was too late.

And before I knew it...I woke up in the hospital.

-present day-

Shane: joey? Are you alright? I asked you a question.

Joey: huh? What was the question? Sorry I zoned out.

I came back to reality when Shane called name.

Anytime I even thought of high school, I felt alone.

Shane: I asked why. Why you came here after school.

Joey: Shane, I've never told anyone that story before.

Shane: what story? Oh sorry...you don't have to tell me.

Should I?

I know he'll be there for me.

Even though this all happened in high school...it still comes about in my dreams, and thoughts. It still hurts sometimes.

Joey: it's alright. You are my boyfriend so I should be able to tell you anything.

Shane: this is about to get real personal isn't it? It's alright, you can tell me anything, like you said.

He held my hand as he spoke.

Joey: alright.

I inhaled...exhaled.

Of coarse...I was about to tear up before I Evan began speaking.

And he noticed...holding my hand tighter.

I just looked at the sun shining on the lake to calm me down.

Joey: alright. This goes way back to high school. I was bullied...a lot. Because I mostly grew up with girls around me, and had a lot of girls who were my best friends, barely any boys, I was very feminine. So of course I was called gay, faggot...excetera.

Shane: mhmm...

Joey: and...I was beaten... By the jocks of coarse. This is really any teenagers story of high school.

Shane scooted closer to me.

Putting his warm hand on my thigh.

Shane: tell me everything.

So I did....

It took about 10 minutes explaining to him everything about what the jocks did to me. And I saved the hospital part for last. That was the part that mostly inverted in my mind.

Shane: joey...I'm so sorry that all happened to you.

Joey: well it was high school. Kids were dicks.

I smiled

Shane: well...what if I told you I had the same problem in high school?

Joey: I wouldn't feel so alone and I think that would bring us closer.

Shane: well that was a brief and very descriptive description.

Joey: haha well it's true.

Shane: alright, well I did. I went through everything you did. People calling me names as I roamed through the hallways. Even this girl who had a crush on me, she saw a pic of me kissing a guy and she called me an ass hole.

Joey: why an ass hole?

Shane: I was to her. I left her at a dance because I was so confused about my feelings it scared me. So I left her in the middle of a dance.

Joey: and she called you an ass hole after she saw the pic?

Shane: she thought that was why I left and she was mad because I didn't tell her. Even though it wasn't a real pic. It was photoshopped my some douche.

Joey: oh...wow. Well at least we share the same stories. I always feel alone anytime I think of it.

Shane: you don't have to feel alone anymore. And this place that were at right now...this is our place now.

Joey: yeah...I like that. Our

Place.

________________________

So Joey and Shane both had bad experiences in high school. I know in the beginning of this story, it started out with Shane bullied and stuff and then I sort of ignored that part and moved on to this without saying whatever happened to Shane.

So no I didn't forget about it.

I even said a few chapters later after all of the drama in high school with Shane "a few years later" and that's when he met joey :-)

Just a little refresher of the brain ;-)

And now I told Joey's life story in a flash back kind of way... Pretty cool right? They both had same things goin on...

I like this chapter :-) it's cute I think...
