The Trouble With Love (SHOEY Fanfic) DISCONTINUED

Happy Times Are Here At Last (Chapter 16)

We got home, and there was a decent amount of celebration.

Sawyer and I had a drinking contest (which did not end well), Izzy showed off her newfound DJ skills that she learned from Sawyer, and Hitch probably ate too many dog biscuits (also has to do with the drinking contest).

I was happier than I've ever been in a long time. Shane won't hate us anymore. He still wants to be my friend.

For all I know, maybe he does love me.

Izzy was still slightly pissed, but she looked happier. Her brother won't hurt her anymore. She told me her doubts as soon as we got home, that Shane could go back to how he was anytime he likes.

But the last time I had been this happy was when I moved here to LA. Getting away from my past released all my frustration and sadness. I just felt free.

My whole life seems like a broken record, playing over and over.

I have happiness for a while, but something comes along and shatters it. I don't take sadness very well, in case you haven't noticed yet.

But after I'm fed up with the torture of depression, I work my way out and I'm in uncontrollable joy. I make the change for myself when I can't stand the pain any longer.

It seems like my heart just has its ups and downs in large periods of time.

The party had died down, and the three of us sat in silence.

I sat on the couch just smiling to myself. I glanced to my left at Sawyer, who was currently passed out. To my right Izzy sat, just looking at the ceiling.

I couldn't believe my plan actually worked. I'm free of most of the pain he caused me.

Izzy was starting to fall asleep, a relieved expression across her face. She looked like the weight of the world was lifted off her shoulders.

The weight of the world was lifted off all our shoulders.

---Next Morning---

I had woken up with a decent hangover. Sawyer's was much worse, bless his heart.

I looked over at his room and snickered at the groans coming from there.

He deserved it... That alcoholic.

I was trying to busy myself, considering my depression was taken away by Shane. He saved me in a way. But it was me who saved myself, by going after him again.

One day I can still try to make him mine. I just hope he lied when he said he wasn't gay. I mean, why did he touch me so much yesterday if he wasn't gay. He touched my crotch at least five times! But I'm not complaining...

I was cleaning up my room and flipped through a few old magazines I had kept from when i lived in Boston. There were a few Lego, Filmmaking, and Car magazines. I was pretty into that stuff when I was younger.

I tossed them into a box to be put in the attic, along with a few army figurines, and my first camcorder. I kept all of that stuff because it meant a lot to me.

The magazines to help me remember who I was before my... Um... Change of heart...

The army figurines to keep the monsters under my bed away.

I chuckled and rolled two of them in my hand. They were like my comfort toys. I remember a time when I used to draw scenes with each of them in it. I taught myself how to draw around age 11. I just kept at it, and any time I had no inspiration, I would sketch little cartoons with them in it. I preferred realistic drawings, but hey, you go to the extremes if you have no inspiration.

I set my first camcorder in, because I had no use for it, but I still want to keep it.

I moved the box into the attic and came back downstairs.

When I passed by Izzy, who was sitting on the couch using my laptop, I noticed she was looking through a baby clothing site.

"How about that one?"

My voice surprised her, just like I had hoped. She jumped slightly and looked at me, jokingly irritated.

"You ass! Quit scaring me. You'll scare the baby too!" She rested a hand on her small baby bump and grinned.

"Yeah, yeah. I scare who I wanna scare." With that I turned and danced to my room, with Izzy shaking her head and scowling.

I pulled out my phone and flopped on my bed. Might as well text Shane to see how he's doing.

Joey- Hey :P

Shane- Heyy. Wassup?

Joey- Just hanging out. We celebrated our peace treaty last night. How ya doin?

Shane- Ahhh ;) Sounds fun. Im just happy that we can start getting better

Joey- :) me too

Shane- say, you wanna come over tomorrow to catch up on stuff? I missed you :/

I practically dropped my phone and squealed. Shane actually missed me?! I might sound like such a girl- I AM gay and all but ya know... -but I have the right to freak out sometimes, right?

Joey- Yeah! Sounds great! Izzy has a doctors appointment at 2 so I can go then. She just wants Sawy with her, so I won't be missed. :P

Shane- Cool! :) ttyl Joseph xD

Joey- Fuck you -.-

Shane- Hard?

Joey- dammit.

I put up my phone and sat up, lost in thought. Okay, I was daydreaming about tomorrow's events...

I think i like this Shane a lot more.

---AN---

"Filler chapter!!!"

......

"Fuck you, Karrie, we wanted excitement."

"Hold on, im getting to it, im getting to it!"

Yay! We have our cover up! I made it on Polyvore, and Whitty put it up for me. I think it looks fab!

What do you guys think?

Okay, I just want to clear up a few things.

1)I love Shane Dawson irl. <3 He is perf to me, so don't think I hate him.

2) Joey is going to be pretty moody in this story. He has a very crazy past, which im slowly revealing. Whitty knows some of it, but I want the truth to come out slowly.

3) There will not be any more suicide type attempt stuff, but there will be a bit more cutting/anxiety/sad stuff. But in the far far FAR future there will be one actual suicide, but it'll be wayyyy far into the book, and its not going to be Joey or any of my main characters.

4) This whole story will be in Joey's POV. I might rewrite this in Sawyer's or Baylor's (future character) POV. Who wants Whitty to rewrite this in Izzy's POV? I won't do it because Izzy is Whitty's character. I don't know Izzy's motivation, POV, inner conflict, and such.

5) Shoey is going to be a very unstable relationship, I am definitely keeping that in the story. I know exactly what happens, because spoiler I ROLEPLAYED THE WHOLE STORY UP TO SHOEY POSSIBLY GETTING KIDS. But this is my story, so for all you know every character in this story gets shot up in a bank robbery by a man in a banana suit holding a BB gun, and they all die of banana rape. I'm fucking random right now because its 1am okay?! ;-;

But I need sleep because my theater performance is tomorrow (technically today), and holy shit I need to focus and not fall asleep while I banish my niece in the play xD
