Chapter Two
One day there were two new kids that came to Domino High, they were twins, David and Danielle Haggerity. Joey had almost convinced himself to commit suicide, because he didn't know how much more of this life he could take, when he saw her. She was standing alone by the same tree that he like to sit under and she looked so lost. Joey took a chance and went over to her and he said "hi, my name is Joey Wheeler."
The girl smiled at him and stuck out her hand and said "my name is Danielle Haggerity." There was something different about this girl and it intrigued him so much that he wanted to get to know her better, so he sat down and she did too. At first she was really quiet, but then what she said made him flinch when she said "how long has the abuse been happening to you?"
Joey closed his eyes and then he said "I don't know what you're talking about." Danielle didn't say anything for awhile and then she said "you know there are places that can help you if you want help." Then what Joey said sent shivers down her spine "who in the hell would want to help me? Hell, I'm not worth bothering about." That's when Danielle slapped Joey across the face and she said "not with that attitude you're not. Listen as long as you wallow in self-pity nothing is going to help but if you start standing up for yourself the world can be your oyster."
Joey didn't understand what she meant by that last statement and the look of wonderment on his face made her smile and then she explained what she meant and he still couldn't believe that someone would want to get mixed up in his life. Danielle then touched his face and whispered "if you ever need someone to talk to just call me and she gave him her phone number and then she got up and walked over to some guy who looked a lot like she did, maybe he was her brother. Joey stared at the number before he put it in his pocket. The bell rang for the next class and he got up and walked to class.
That afternoon as he was walking home, Joey thought of the conversation he had with Danielle and he wondered if there really was someone out there that would listen to him. He hurried home and when he got there he noticed that his father's truck wasn't in the parking place. Thinking that he was safe, he opened the door and when he turned around to close it he was hit in the back of the head and knocked out.
When he came to his head hurt and when he touched it he found blood on his hand. Joey gently got up and walked to the bathroom and placed a washcloth on the back of his head and walked back to the living room to see if anything was taken. What he found was that the television and stereo had been stolen and he knew that his father would blame him and he would be in store to yet another beating, so he went to his room and took a change of clothes and went out the back door and ran. He ran as if the devil was on his tail and he didn't stop till he was out of breath.
Joey saw an abandoned house and he went inside and sat down to think about where he was going to go next. His head hurt terribly and then all of a sudden he passed out. When his father came home and found that his house had been robbed he called the Police and after they filled out the report he wondered where that no good for nothing son of his was? Frank shrugged his shoulder and went out to get something to eat and when he got home and Joey still wasn't there he called the Police and reported his son had runaway. When they brought him home he would be getting a thrashing that was for sure.
