"Hi." Joey said standing at the door step.

"Hi Joey, come in." Coreys grandma said.

Joey walked through the door, taking off his shoes. "Where's Corey?" He asked looking up at her.

She sighed "he's asleep in bed. He's got an awful bout of flu."

"I'll go see him." Joey shrugged.

"Good luck not catching it." She laughed "if you need anything I'll be catching up on my show." She smiled before walking off to her chair.

Joey smiled to himself as he opened the door to coreys bedroom. It was a mess, but what was new. Some things in coreys room had their place and Corey would get funny if Joey moved it, and other things he didn't care.

Joey spotted him in his bed, wrapped up in his Spider-Man blanket, which his grandma gave him when he was young. He had told Joey he always had kept it there so he knew it was safe when he moved around.

He sat down on the end of the bed as corey slept. His eyebrows furrowed yet he looked relaxed. His hair spread out on the pillow. Snoring slightly.

It was so nice to just see him sleep. And not over think with his pretty little head that over thought way too much.

Joey stroked the side of his face. As Corey let out a snore, joeys eyes trailed to coreys arm which was on display. He frowned. He stroked the marks gently. Corey had told him he had stopped...

He took Corey's wrist and kissed it gently. Corey would probably have pushed him off and cussed at him for doing something so...pathetic. But Corey was beautiful. Scars and all.

Joey could hear Corey's laboured breathing from the fact he was ill as he layed next to him. Cuddling up in his side. He missed when he wasn't around Corey. Just his scent alone brought Joey happiness. He loved him

.

"Five days mom!" Joey shouted "its been five fucking days."

"Nathan, calm down." She said trying to show support for her son, after all his best and probably only friend had been missing for days.

"Stop calling me Nathan. Its always Nathan. I hate Nathan!" Joey screamed "I'm Joey!"

"I'm sorry Joey..." she said

"Hes not going to come back. It's all my fault. It's all my fault. Fuck."

"Its not your fault. Hes a perfectly capable adult now Nathan." She said

"For the last fucking time. Its Joey!" He hissed

"Just calm down sweetie." She begged

"No! Mom! What happens if hes done something stupid?"

"I doubt he would have-"

"Hes a maniac!" Joey said

"A maniac?"

"What's it called...hes got that thing with mania...uh...bipolar!"
