You were a secret, his secret... Joey had found out a few months ago that you had a huge crush on him and used it to his advantage. Joey made you the girl that he snuck out for every night, yet he was reluctant to act like this was more than just plain old fun. At night when Joey crawled into your bedroom, he made you feel like you were on top of the world... His world... He made you feel special and loved.... But that's not love, is it?

The next morning, he would sneak out before you even woke up and you'd have to see him at school, but he didn't talk to you at school. No, of course not. Joey would pretend you didn't even exist... And it stung, but that's what you were willing to put up with for him...

This whole ordeal had been happening for the last 4 months now and you could feel yourself crumbling slowly. Joey wanted to keep your relationship, if you can even call it that, a secret because the two of you come from different social circles. Different worlds in his words.

You were sitting on your bed, listening to music through your headphones when your window slid open. A few seconds later, Joey was stood in your bedroom like he had done so many nights before, but you weren't excited like you usually were... Instead you just felt drained and almost numb. "Hey, baby" Joey spoke with a smile as he walked up to you and climbed onto your bed.
