"Joey! Where the fuck have you been?!" Sawyer shouted as soon as I walked in the door.

"With Shane...-"

"What the hell, Joey?! You know full well who Shane is! Every time you go to see him, there's more of a chance that..-"

Right now I'm just too done. As if Shane rejecting me isn't enough, I have Sawyer on my back about going to see him. This was the last straw.

"Leave me alone. Why can't you let me live my life, Sawyer?! You're not my dad, so fuck off!"

I shoved him away, but he quickly recovered, getting up in my face.

"No, Joey! YOU fuck off! All you want is to keep hurting Izzy! I'd bet you never even cared about her!" He sighed and rubbed his face.

"Look, I'm just saying this because I care about-"

"GO FUCK YOURSELF, SAWYER!" I screamed into his face.

At that moment Izzy walks in, tears streaming down her face.

"Stop fighting!!!" I glanced from Izzy to Sawyer. God, these people... I glared at Sawyer and stormed to my room.

I slammed the door and paced my room. A thought hit me and I smiled to myself. Another way of worry relief could help...

I quickly pulled off my T-shirt and pull on a hot muscle shirt. I picked a pair of skinny jeans and slid them on before running my fingers through my hair.

I flopped down on my bed and called Luke.

I listened to the ringing and sighed shakily. No tears, no tears, no tears...

Like picked up the phone and I already was starting to break down.

"H-hey, Luke...?"

"Hey, Joey. What's up?" I paused, swallowing a sob.

"Joey? Are you okay? Talk to me..."

"U-um... Are you free tonight...?"

"Yeah... Now tell me what's going on before I come over there!"

I switched the phone to my other ear.

"Actually... I-I kinda need you to do that... Will you come with me to the club down the street?"

"Of course! Just... Why? Joey, you can tell me. You know I've kept all of your secrets and stories to myse...-"

"LUKE!" I paused, sniffling slightly. "Shane rejected me. He says he has no feelings for me. H-he... H-he just loves me like a brother. A-and then as soon as I get home Sawyer blows up on me, yet AGAIN. P-please.. Can you just get here as soon as possible..? I-I..."

I swallowed another sob, tears falling freely. I lost the man of my dreams as well as my "family". What else could I do?

"Shhh, Its okay. I'll be there in ten. Just kinda chill out there, and I'll come to pick you up. Relax... I love ya, man, okay?"

"O-okay... Text m-me when you g-get here... D-don't bother c-coming inside..." I stammered, curling up into my pillows and stuffed Totoros. He hung up, and I just cried until I had no more tears.

[Ten minutes later]

I heard a buzz from my phone.

From: Lukeyyyy

**Hey im here! r u ready?**

From: JoehG

**Yah. BRT.**

I slid my phone into my pocket and grabbed my wallet. I stormed out of my room, passing the living room where Izzy and Sawyer were sitting at the couch.
