I'm Okay ~ Shoey

Chapter 15

Chapter 15

~Joey's POV~

Fluid in the lungs. Of course it was. Not my death. Not the end of the world, just my broken lungs filling with fluid causing me to stop breathing, which led to me passing out. Typical. As soon as the doctors drained my lungs I was fine again.

I laid in my hospital bed, taking long deep breaths. Well, trying to at least. After the draining, my chest has become a bit tight and sore. The doctor said it's completely normal and in a few days it should be back to normal. It's like straining a muscle really.

I hadn't seen Shane at all during the procedure. And that was a few hours ago. Sawyer had come down from the station saying he was hysterical about the situation. Apparently he thought I'd died. But in all honesty, I'd thought that too.

"You doing okay?" Sawyer asked me while I was trying to get comfortable.

"I'm trying.. To sit upright.. But.. It hurts" I panted. Talking really gets me out of breath even with the tank attached up my nose.

Sawyer got up from his chair, and put his arm around my back, lifting me from the bed. I automatically clung to his arm. I literally have no strength anymore. He sorted out my pillows then lowered me back so I was now sitting upright perfectly fine.

"Thank you" I gasped. He smiled in reply. "Where's Shane?"

"You know I don't know" he sighed with a sad smile.

That second, a very sad looking Shane walked into my hospital room. "Oh my god" he breathed out in surprise. He rushed over to me and threw his arms around me tightly. I made a choking noise and he released the tightness to just a soft one.

"I'm sorry I scared you" I said softly. He pulled back from the hug, and I saw tears stream down his face as he looked at me.

"I thought I'd lost you. I love you so much Joey Graceffa" he cried. It made me cry too. He stepped back and started fussing in his jacket pocket. "I've got two tickets to Vegas. Joey, will you marry me?"
