"Seto!" Mokuba screamed as we walked into the mansion. Mokuba glomped Seto legs.

"Hi. Mokie, could you put my laptop in the study and an extra chair, please?" Kaiba asked.

"Okay, but what is Joey doing here?" He inquired.

"He is handcuffed to me." Seto said lifting up our hands to show Mokuba. Mokuba scurried off to do as he was told. Wait did I just call Kaiba, Seto. I thought this would be a good time to call home. I opened my phone and typed in my home number. It rung three times. Please go to voice mail Please. Bad news he picked up.

"Hello?" I heard him say.

"Hi, dad. I won't be home for a week I'm staying at a classmate's house." I said in a little voice hoping he wouldn't yell. Kaiba gave me a weird look, I didn't know if it was because of the voice I used or if it's because I said classmate.

"Boy, you better get home right now or your going to be sorry!" He yelled through the phone loud enough so I had to hold it away from my ears, so Kaiba probably heard.

"I can't come home sorry." I whimpered.

"Sorry, ain't gonna cut it boy. You get one swipe each hour your not home!" He kept yelling.

"Sorry, bye," I hung up and put away my phone.

"Mutt, what's a swipe?" Kaiba asked.

"None of your business, moneybags." I snapped at him. "by the way what's 24 times 7?"

"168." Kaiba answered.

Yup, I'm not coming to school for at least a month, good thing it's spring break. Oh, and if you were wondering my dad got a new whip the leather kind. And last week I got 17 slashes or swipes for talking back to him.

"Damn." I muttered. Kaiba went to his study with me following. He sat down and started typing so I sat down.

"Hey, Kaiba?" I asked. He looked over a me.

"What?" He answered.

"Can I have a piece of paper and a pencil?" I asked.

He reached out into his drawers and gave me what I asked for. "There."

He said turning back to his work. I wrote:

The Pain

By: Joey Wheeler

You hurt me Verbally

You tell me I'm a worthless, Mutt

And I believe you.

You hurt me physically

You beat me and send me to the hospital

You tried to kill me when I fought back

I work to keep us together

I let you abuse me.

You're the reason for my pain

But I still have to put up with you

And one day I will say goodbye

For the last time

I doodled a picture next to it of a lost, hurt, golden puppy. The picture was pretty good. I heard Kaiba stop typing and I looked over to see him staring at the picture.

"Why would you draw that?" Kaiba asked.

"Because it goes with the poem and it's me" I said looking at my feet.

"Joey, that's not true." Kaiba said grabbing my shoulders to turn towards him but I kept looking at my feet.

"Yes, it is!" I sobbed still looking down.

"No It not." He said pulling my head up to face him.

"How would you know? You're not there when I'm whipped or beats me or yells or takes everything out on me, because what I am. You have no idea what I've been through." I sniffled.

"What have you been through?" he asked pulling me into an awkward hug.

"Alot." I said quietly. "Hey, Kaiba, would you come with me to a rally with me tonight. There's something I want you to see."
