Fix You {A Shoey Fanfiction}

Ready To Fly Chapter 5

-Shane's POV-

"No Lisa! It's not what you think!" I shouted to her as I pushed myself off  Joey. At this point, she was already halfway down the hallway and I was already regretting my decisions. I was running after her when I realized what I was doing. I was being a complete dick to both Joey and Lisa,  but why was it so pleasurable?

Lisa stopped running and sat down against the wall. She was out of breath and her face was going pale, as if she was going to get sick. I slouched down beside her. I went to put my arm around her put she pushed it away and hesitated.

"Lisa, it isn't what you thi-"

"Don't you dare tell me that it's not what I think but I don't think anything. I know Shane. I fucking know that you don't love me. You love Joey and I could see by the way you looked at him," she looked up to the ceiling, trying not to cry.

"No. You're wrong. I don't love him. I love you, not him," I didn't dare to say Joey's name in fear of breaking into an unstable mess.

"Then please explain what that was."

"It was nothing sweety, nothing," I was starting to cringe.

She hesitated then pulled me into a hug," Please don't be lying, " she whispered in my ear as her tears trickled down my back. I pulled away from the hug.

"I'm not lying," I smiled at her with the fakest smile ever. Of course I was lying but I couldn't choose who I loved more. My girlfriend of three years? Or a one night stand?

-Joey's POV-

How could I let this happen again? I let Shane run off to his girlfriend whilst he leaves me feeling so down that I want to pull all the machine chords out of the wall and just die. But there's more important things than Shane. For example, my family and my "friends".

I've never experienced such depression like this. I was in pain physically and mentally. How could he do this to me?!

I bit my lip to hold back tears but it was inevitable for me to cry. I even cry over those obviously fake "inspirational" Facebook stories. I'm such a loser.

I was starting to wonder if Shane was even going to come back. Was he still chasing after Lisa or was he on his way back to me? Or he just lost the way and that's why he's taking forever? Maybe that was up to me to discover.

I sat up in the hospital bed and prepared myself to stand up. I pushed myself with all my might and my feet touched the cold floor. I detached most of the machines and hobbled out of the room. I was lucky as there were no nurses and doctors in the hallway.

I made my journey down the hallway and stopped at all the corners so I could look to see if anyone was there. I couldn't see anyone except for technically dead cancer patients gasping for air in their little hospital rooms. It frightened me to know that that was happening to me and I didn't have the money to cure it. I shook my head and continued walking.

When I got to the end of the hallway I could see a blonde woman embrace a ginger-brown haired man. The blonde woman whispered something in the man's ear and they started crying.

The ginger-brown haired man looked in my direction and I immediately knew who it was.

"Shane?!" I called out.

He turned to the woman who I could now detect as Lisa, and said something to her, kissed her and stood up.

He started walking to me slowly, as if he was dreading the upcoming events. 

"Joseph," he's never called me Joseph. "This, isn't going to happen."

"What? W-Wha-What do you mean by this?" I could feel the tears welling up in my eyes.
