Chapter three: Will you be all right? "Joey?" Yugi asked timidly "are you going to be alright?" After Mai left Yugi had gone right over to Joey, "Yeah Yuge, I'll be fine" He gave Yugi a smile but Yugi saw the emptiness in it. "I'm just gonna go home now, kay? Have a good time with Tea" He got up and began the walk home, Yugi just stared after him. Mai was dreaming a horrible dream. Joey was there and He told her he loved her and she told him she loved him to. Then Mai had split into two and her good side and her bad side had fought. Her bad side won and started making fun of Joey and telling him she never cared for him and he was just her pawn. Her good side had been trapped in a cage through out it all and was desperate to get out and help Joey. Finally after she had called him a dog, he gave up his pleading for her to stop. He looked at her and told her he would always love her but obviously she was tired of him and He left. Then the scene where she had told him not to hurt her flashed before her eyes and she woke up sobbing. Joey opened the door and passed his dad passed out on the couch. He walked into his room and sat on his bed. He looked at his desk. It was covered with schoolwork and pictures of him and Mai. He picked up one that was his favorite. It was on there first date and Yugi had taken it. He had Mai and in his arms and was leaning her half over the balcony kissing her passionately. He hadn't even seen Yugi take it. He chuckled quietly, and wondered if they would ever make any more special moments together. He walked over to his computer. There was an old email on it from Mai. He checked it, it was right after he had sent her a ton of pictures of them and said simply "Why do you keep so many pictures of us?" He smiled ruefully and presses reply so that she could see the original message and wrote "So now that it's all over, I'll always have our memories in both my heart and soul and it won't be as if it never happened". Mai looked over at her computer "You got Mail" she sat down on the chair and wiped away her tears. Oh! It's from Joey! She read his message and the tears came again. Why don't you just get together with him again? She sat down on her bed and picked up a picture frame off her bedside table. The picture was of them at them at the Valentine's Day carnival. Joey had won her and adorable kitty stuffed animal and she had been so happy. She picked the kitty up and hugged it to herself, Because one, You're friends don't like him, two his dad hurts him and well you never know, three I can't deal with LOVE right now, I'm 17 and my life is busy enough, and lastly he deserves better than me. Heck, What makes me think he would even take me back after how mean I was?!?!?! And with that she set off another flood of tears.
