Joey Drew Novels & Stories

Joey said, "Alright. You should carry on with your work. I'll see myself out." "Okay, bye." … Joey's smile slowly faded by the time she reached her office. She turned on the computer to see an email draft that she had finished editing. She hesitated and clicked on the attached picture once more. It was a children's drawing of a red building using crayons with no skill or technique involved. Nevertheless, it displayed a childlike innocence. Joey stared at the picture for a long time. Eventually, she sent the email. After confirming that the picture had been sent, she let go of the mouse and leaned into her chair with a heavy heart.

Jaden has a serious face on and angrily gets up to leave. "You are not interested, or is it because you are the one behind it?" Joey sounds angry as he suddenly asks. Jaden is about to take a step when he instantly ceases in his tracks as he hears Joey. Jaden turned back to look at him, fiercely…

he paused and licked his lips, “Conversation yesterday.” Yuck. What a sleeze. “Conversation, huh?” I looked him up and down. “I wouldn’t have a ‘conversation’ with you if you were the last man on earth.” Joey looked smug. “See what I mean, boys? She’s feisty. Plenty for all of us.” He lunged at me, and I sidestepped. The other three hooted at us. Joey lunged again, this time grabbing on to my arm with his good hand. I looked down at him and considered my options. Mentally I shrugged. Better to take this out of sight, I guess.
