Hello! thank you for taking the time to read this section of the story even though it has nothing to do with the story. i fear that there might be something wrong with one of the chapters i posted because i dont think everyone can read it, i may be wrong. but either way here is the next chapter, le me know what you think because i'm starting to doubt my story and if i should continue to post it. please let me know what yout hink because its getting harder for me to explain to my parents what i'm doing because they have no idea about anything in my life, including this. so if you would kindly place your attention somewhat farther down the page you can read the story. enjoy!

Seto's POV

I walked back down to the kitchen and saw everyone looking at Joey, that could mean only one thing, he had told them.

"They saw the scars?" I asked. He nodded and then I gave his hand a tight squeeze before the maid came in with the components for sandwiches. Everyone made a sandwich and started to eat. Some of them started to talk about little things but nothing special happened until Joey excused himself to the bathroom.

He took out his knife and placed it on the table before he left the room. Once he was out of ear shot everyone bombarded me with questions.

"Why did he start?"
"How long was he cutting?"

"How bad are his arms?"

"How many times did he try to kill himself?"

"Why didn't he tell us?"

"How did you get him to stop?"

I couldn't keep track of everyone asking me questions so I waited until they stopped asking questions before I gave my answers. "He started a few years ago. He has been cutting for a while, his arms are pretty bad but he keeps them well hidden. He tried to kill himself 5 times and we found him 3 times before he had tried and twice after he had tried. He didn't tell you because he didn't want you all to act like this. We got him to stop because we gave him a reason to live, any other questions or can we stop?"

Just then Joey came back into the room and everyone went back to their conversations, like nothing had happened. He walked back to his seat and put his knife back before Mokuba took out his knife to read the poem. It truly was a beautiful poem and only he should be able to read the precious words.

Mokuba looked at the knife for a bit before he looked away and met the gaze of Joey. Joey extended his arm and Mokuba handed him the knife. Joey read the poem and admired the knife before giving it back.

You could practically hear everyone in the room exhale, they don't trust him anymore, and maybe it's time for some new friends…

Whatever they will learn to deal with it, until then we have plenty of time. Everyone finished eating and left the room going their separate ways to find something to do.

Isis lingered behind and asked in a low voice, "Seto, do you mind if I go and play your harp again?"

"not at all, feel free to use it as much as you like, just please be gentle with it and put anything you take out back, alright?"

She nodded and walked away, heading in the wrong direction. "Isis"

"Yes?"
"The music room is that way" I pointed in the other direction and she blushed a little before she went in the right direction. I chuckled; the mansion is big though so she had an excuse.

"Seto, I'm going to head to my art room, okay? I'll give Isis directions to your room as well"

I chuckled again and gave him a quick kiss on the lips before he left the room, heading straight to his room. I'm glad he was strong enough to not cut himself today. He really was doing a good job.

I headed towards my office passing Pegasus on the way.

"Kaiba-boy"

Great, "yes Pegasus?"

"Is there any way I could get my hands on some painting supplies?"
"Yes head towards my music room and the next door on the left is Joey's art room; ask his permission before you take anything"

He nodded and walked off, knowing exactly where to go. That is a little weird to say the least but whatever.

I headed to my office and stopped outside the door, I wonder what other medications Joey takes….

Curiosity got the best of me and I walked towards our bedroom. I opened the door and walked over to his bedside table, opening the drawer to see the most astonishing sight. There had to be at least 10 different prescription bottles. I started to read the labels and saw that besides his depression medication and eye medications he had a laundry list of pills to take. He had pills of A.D.D, A.D.H.D, some vitamins to help his medications work and finally the most shocking pill was for seizures. I never knew he had seizures! How the hell did he get those? Why wouldn't he tell me…?

I was baffled and started to put his medications back, paying close attention to where he kept his pills. I put them all back and grabbed a book off of my bedside table. In case anyone noticed I had gone into my room they would think I had been looking for the book and not gotten suspicious of what I was actually doing in there.

I walked out of our bedroom and back towards my office, fully prepared to research everything about seizures. If my baby had that problem I was determined to be prepared for anything so I could help him if ever he had a seizure in front of me.

I walked over to the small silver laptop on my desk and started to type away, researching everything I could about seizures and learning everything to do in case he ever has one.

I typed in the name of his medication and researched the medication learning it was used to those who had severe seizures and had a very hard time controlling them.

Damn it, how did I not know?

How could I have not known?
