Chapter Nine
When Seto squeezed Joey's hand, it was like a miracle, and as Seto opened his eyes, he looked at Joey and tears ran down his face. Joey softly said, "We'll get through this, I promise."
Doctor Lawrence came in then and as he heard Joey talking to Seto, he went over and checked his vital signs and then he said, "I guess that love is the best medicine."
The doctor ordered that the breathing machine be taken out, as the Nurse looked at Seto she said, "I'm going to remove the tube in your throat, I need you to take a deep breath and let it out slowly."
When it was removed, the doctor told Seto, "You won't be able to talk for a few days, so don't stress your vocal cords, here is a tablet to write on." When he left the room, Seto wouldn't look at Joey and when he asked Seto about it, Seto wrote, "How can you talk to me after what I did?"
Joey wiped the tears from Seto's face and he said, "You didn't know what you were doing, Seth was in control of your mind and body."
Seto shook his head no and then wrote, "I can still remember what he did while inside my body, and I remember torturing that poor man and how I left his body, he must have suffered before he died. Why, why did he make me do that?"
Joey didn't know what to do or say that would take away the horrible images that Seto was seeing; he only knew that if someone couldn't help Seto, he might try to do something bad. Just then, the door opened and Bakura, Marik and Yami walked in.
Bakura then said, "Joey, please leave the room, we have to talk to Seto."
Joey turned to them and he said, "No, no I'm not leaving."
Marik then said, "Alright, but you have to keep your mouth shut, no matter what you hear, you have to keep quiet."
Seto looked at them and he said, "Help me, please tell me what the hell is going on."
Yami then said, "Seth found a way to enter this world and he possessed your body and when he sensed your love for Joey, well he decided to make you send Allister away, then he went to find Joey and no matter what, Joey would be brought back into your life."
Tears ran down Seto's face and Joey would wipe them away and as their eyes met, Seto would look away as if he had no right to look at Joey, but all Joey would do, he'd touch Seto's face as if he were telling him, "I'm here, I'm not going anywhere."
By the time Yami was done telling Seto what Seth had force him to do, and when Joey heard that because of Seth, he's father died, it was hard to hear this, but he didn't leave. Seto then asked, "Why, why did any of you help me, you could have stopped me, why didn't you?"
Bakura said, "There's a young man out there waiting to see his big brother, he's the reason why."
How am I going to be able to live with what I did, without going out of my mine?" He asked.
The door opened and as they all looked, Roland walked in and as he walked over to the bed he said, "When Dr. Lawrence released you, you'll be going to the best Psychiatric Hospital in the world where you'll be talking to some of the best doctors, and hopefully they will be able to help."
How can I go back to the Manor after what I did, god, I killed Brad, he didn't do anything, and I tortured him." Seto sobbed.
Listen, you let me deal with what happened there, all I want you to do is get better and come home to me and Mokuba." Roland said.
Seto looked so scared and then Joey said, "I'm going with Seto and no one can tell me that I can't."
Roland smiled at him and he said, "I was hoping that you would, and I'll make the arrangements and Seto, please remember, just get better and come home."
Seto held out his hand and Roland took it and he held onto him and he said, "Son, we'll get through this."
Seto then asked, "What about the law, I broke it when I killed not only Brad but Joey's father, I'll have to go to prison for what I did."
Bakura then said, "Listen you just get better, leave the rest to us, we'll find a way to deal with what happens."
Joey looked at Bakura, he looked down at Seto, and he said, "Please don't worry, they'll be able to help, please just get better."
Seto then looked at Roland and he said, "I yelled at Mokie, I've never yelled at him before, does he hate me?"
Joey moved and Roland walked over and as he lowered the railing and sat down, he took Seto into his arms and he said, "Son, your brother loves you as Joey and I do, hell everyone here loves you."
Then he door opened up and Bakura was there with Mokuba and Roland stood up and Mokie ran to the bed and Roland picked him up and as Mokuba's arms went around Seto's neck, everything that happened seem to just go away.
Mokuba said, "I love you, please get better and come home."
Seto held onto his brother and he said, "I'll be fine, I have to go away for a little while and when I come back, I'll be my old self."
Seto didn't know how these people could forgive him for what happened but he was glad that they did, then as Mokuba let go and he got down, Seto looked at Yami and he said, "Please will you thank Ra for what he did, I heard him pray that I would get better, so please thank him for me."
Yami nodded that he would and then he said, "We'll leave now and let the others come back and see you, just get better and as you've heard before, come home."
After everyone came in and told Seto that they were glad that he was alright and going to get the help he needed and then they all left, leaving only Joey there, Seto asked him, "Did you mean what you said, "That we would get through this together?"
Joey smiled down at him and he said, "Yes I meant it, listen I know that things happened between us, but I haven't stopped loving you and if in time we get back together, I'll be here."
Seto closed his eyes and he said, "What about Allister, is he alright, I was a total bastard to both of you."
Joey then said, "Listen, Allister went home when he found out that you were going to be alright, but he told me, stay with him, it's you he loves not me, so that's what I'm going to do, stay."
Seto then held out his hand and Joey sat down next to him and they held each other and finally they both were able to let go and cry, cry not only for what happened, but cry because they both hoped that things would work out and that they'd be together again.
