After the Kiss (A Shoey FanFic)

Chapter 12

Shane

     This was it, this was finally it. I felt myself going cold, my heart slowing. And Joey wasn't here yet, but why? Did he not care? All I wanted was for him to be with me this one last time. But I knew I didn't deserve him, no one did. Joey was so incredible, everyone else dimmed in comparison. I was lucky to even have met him.

      Suddenly I heard the door burst open. Someone squeezed my hand, and I instantly recognized that person as Joey. He was here, here for my death. I could die happy.

     I felt the soft fabric of one of Joey's finest suites. I smelled the fancy cologne he only wore for very special occasions. What was all of this for? I wasn't going to be able to see him anyways. So why bother?

     "Shane, I just want to let you know that I'm sorry. I know I should've been more considerate, that I should have helped you. B-but I'm selfish. I... I'm so sorry, for everything. I'll see you on the other side," he sobbed as he squeezed my hand.

      Wait, the other side? Him dressing up? The cologne? Oh no, fuck no. This was impossible, this couldn't be happening. Joey was going to die along with me.

     I struggled to move my body, but it wouldn't budge. I was frozen, paralyzed throughout my whole body. But I had to save Joey! He couldn't die, he had so much to live for.

     Suddenly I felt his warm lips crush against mine, the heat of his passion so intense that it went straight to my heart, burning with a thousand flames. I could suddenly feel everything. It all came crashing down on me.

     Joey walked away from my bed, his footsteps becoming further and further away. No, this wasn't going to happen! I gathered up all of the strength I could, my heart still burning with my eternal love for Joey.

     "No J-Joey," I heard myself croak. "C-come back... please." I used an immense amount of strength to open my eyes. A bright light flashed across my eyes, then when it it dimmed I saw him.

     He was an angel in distress, the saddest and most beautiful person alive.

     And he was mine.

Joey

     "Shane?" I whispered through my tears. I let go of the door knob and ran towards him. "Shane! Oh my gosh you're alive!" I lifted up his head and kissed him, caressing his beautiful face.

     Tears were running down my face, but for the first time in what seemed like forever, they were tears of joy. I was so overjoyed in this moment, Shane was alive. The love of my life, finally with me forever. I couldn't have been happier.

     I was so happy I almost didn't notice the doctors rushing in, exclaiming that this was a miracle. As far as I could tell, Shane and I were the only people in that room, we were both so in love.

     Nothing could ever change that moment and how I felt about him. He was my other half, my true soul mate. And I loved him more than my whole life.

     Eventually the doctors had to pry me off of Shane so they could make sure all was well with him. I sat in the lobby, wanting to see Shane again so bad. It seemed like my life had just gotten a whole lot better now that Shane was back!

     Shane was then in the hospital for two more days. While he was there for an overnight stay, I went home to prepare things for his welcome-home celebration! It was gonna be awesome-anya!

     First I dusted nearly everything in the house. When I got to the kitchen table, I took the note I left and ripped it in half. There was no need for that anymore, now that I finally had Shane back in my life. After taking care of that matter, I looked up a recipe for pizza online. It turns out I was really good at making homemade pizza.
