Fear Itself [ A Shoey Fanfic ]

|| Joey's P.O.V ||

this was crazy. Shane was delusional. there is no way a lady hit him across the face and knocked him out, he's stronger than that. it is possible he passed out from dehydration.

i ran downstairs after my argument with Shane that had began to falter.

i rushed down the stairs, my face red and tired looking from being sleep deprived. i shook my head and turned into the kitchen.

i heard crashing glass, then Hitch began to howl. and not puppy bark, he began to howl like a wolf.

i ran to the kitchen, sliding next to Hitch with my fists raised. when i looked to my feet, i saw Sawyer lying on the ground, clutching his wrist.

"Sawyer?! what the hell is going on?" i yelled toward him.

he muttered quietly, "glass, in my hand."

i turned my attention towards his hand, blood pouring down his palm and onto his other hand.

i quickly rushed to the bathroom and grabbed a roll of gauze and tweezers. i jogged towards Sawyer and helped him up, sitting him on the couch next to me.

i carefully pulled the piece of visible glass out of his hand, causing him to groan a little out of pain.

i then took the gauze and tightly but gently wrapped it around his hand, applying pressure to the gauge.

"stay right there" i commanded, running upstairs.

i opened the door so quickly it hit the wall and rebounded into my face. i startled Shane as well. i was panting a lot from running around the entire house. i grabbed my flip flops from the closet and then Shane boldly asked,

"what the hell is going on?"

i answered, still panting, "it's Sawyer."

he looked confused at first, then started to get up from the bed.

"oh hell no mister, you're staying here." i pushed him back down into the bed.

he groaned and I took off, closing the door behind me and rushing down the stairs, skipping steps. i walked over to Sawyer and helped him up and into Satsuki, and i took off towards the hospital.

this whole time, while my roommate was bleeding and in so much pain, all I could think was about how Shane was.

well, there is no way I can go back to that hospital. but I haven't told Sawyer about that whole event either.

ill have to compromise.
