Joey has fallen asleep on the way back to his house. I'm glad he decided to stay with me, even though I could understand if he went with his mother.

I pull into his driveway, putting the car into park. I leave it running for him so he'll be comfortable while I go and pack his clothes for him. I get out and gently shut the door, then head into his house and towards his room.

I go into his closet to look for a bag for his clothes, and find a duffle bag. I then turn to the shelves of his clothes, picking out stuff I think he'll look good in.

Once I'm done packing his stuff, I head back out to my car and open the trunk, putting the bag in. I walk back around and get into the driver's seat, seeing Joey had woken up.

"I got a little cold.." He says, noticing I had seen him wearing my hoodie. It's a few sizes bigger on him, and his hands can't reach out of the sleeves if pulled all the way down. It's adorable.

"It's alright. You look cute in it anyways." I smile at him, watching his cheeks heat up. I chuckle to myself softly and back out of the driveway.

We listen to music and ride without much conversation back to my house. On the drive, Joey had fallen asleep again. He might sleep for a while, I can tell he's tired due to previous events, and I don't blame him. I actually admire him for how much he stuck to his mother's side.

When we get to my house, I park in the garage, get out of the car and gently pick up Joey, who's still sleeping. I smile to myself at the sight of him sleeping, open the door quietly and step into my house. I carry him upstairs to my room, setting him gently on the bed. I take his shoes off and get him out of his jeans so he'll be more comfortable while he sleeps.

When I'm sure he's comfy, I bend down and kiss his forehead, then quietly shut my door. I decide I need a shower, so I head to the laundry room to get a pair of clean sweats and a t-shirt, then head to the guest bathroom.

I turn the water on rather hot, climbing in when steam rises from the shower. I sigh softly and lean against the wall, closing my eyes. I try clearing my mind, only thinking about the water falling over my skin. For a while it's relaxing, the constant drumming of water on my body. I have to convince myself to get out after thirty or so minutes.

I step out of the shower and dry myself off, pulling on my clothes. I brush down my hair, then walk out into the main living room and plop myself onto the couch. I grab the remote and turn the TV on, the science channel playing 'How It's Made,' just as I had left it.

I sigh quietly again, laying across the couch and closing my eyes, the TV spewing background noise for me. I didn't think the accident would have this much of an effect on me to be honest. I can't fully understand what Joey must be going through, but I feel some of his pain. My parents are never around because of work, so I barely get to see them. Sometimes they miss my birthday. It's nothing like the loss that Joey's had, but it still sucks to an extent.

I shake my head, not wanting to get bogged down by these thoughts. I need to try and stay positive, to help Joey though all this. That'll become words to live by in the next few months, because I want nothing but the best for Joey, even if it comes at my own expense. I would do anything for him.
—————

A few hours have gone by, by the time I wake up. I must've fallen asleep at some point, because it's now dark outside. I stretch and rub the sleep from my eyes, sitting up from the couch. The TV is still playing, which I end with the remote.

I get up and get a glass of water to appease my thirst, then walk back to my room. When I open the door, Joey is still asleep, in a tangle of sheets and blankets and pillows however.

He must've been having bad dreams or something while he slept. I slowly and gently climb into bed with him, fixing the pillows and blankets in the process. I cuddle up to him and wrap my arms around him, closing my eyes. I feel him scoot back into me, and I smile softly into the back of his neck. I give it a soft kiss and once again, slowly drift off to sleep.

Mine.

Sorry for the shorter chapter everyone. I've been a bit busy with irl stuff and haven't had much time to write. Hopefully things should clear up soon and I'll be back to writing more often.

Thanks again to everyone who's supported this story with your votes! It means the world to me.
