Okay now people this is the chapter that you have all been waiting for. I
hope that it is good in your standards and I hope that it satisfies your
craving of Heero! I'm also pretty excited to get to finally write this. I
just love Heero and I think that the idea I came up with was pretty cool
but I want you guys to be the judge of that. This started out as being
kind of short but now its kind of . . . long. Now in this chapter there are
going to be mentions of past rape, child abuse, drug abuse, wife abuse,
mentions of prostitution, Heero feeling all alone, and Heero being rescued.
LOL
I wanna say thank you for all the reviews that everyone has given me. But I did get one review from someone called chibidark angel(). First of all thank you for the very nice review . . . it tells me that I am doing something right and to keep it up. And they asked me what was wrong with 1x2. In my opinion I just don't like 1x2 because some of the ones that I have read all have Heero as being the biggest asshole alive, killing everyone in sight, and saying that he is just plain nutty. Now I will admit that I have read some really nice 1x2 but I just cant get into it. I just don't think I was born as a 1x2. LOL. But what catches me about 2x1 is that they show the other side of Heero. The kind and loving side or the scared little boy side that needs some Duo-lovin. HEHE But they were right and we should all get along . . . so all you 1x2's can bow down to us. HAHA! Okay that one was great . . . but on the serious note I hope that everyone understands me better now. I'm not a 'kill all living 1x2' I'm more of a 'kill all the bastardization of Heero and of him being 100% asshole/nutty and let the 2x1 atleast be equal to 1x2.' It just really makes me mad that 1x2 has more than us. I really don't like that. But yet again chibidark angel() is right: "Remember, love is love, doesn't matter the pairing, its all good, I like them both, don't see why people have to have preferences, it doesn't make any sense, cant we just all get along, we're all open minded people, right?" I think that should be quote of the day. HEHE Anyways on to HEE-CHAN'S STORY!!

~*~*~*~*~
Now I am going to take you to a place where many, in fact all, people are not living the good life. You may know this place as colony L1 but others know it as hell. People come to this god-awful place when they hit bottom. Bottom of what you say? Well the bottom of everything imaginable. It is some peoples' last resort. Some have know where to go, some don't know what to do with their life, or some just can't do anything that benefits them or their well being.
I want to specifically take you downtown. This part of L1 is where you will see prostitutes and drunks on every corner. And always be careful when walking down the streets. It doesn't matter if there is a street light near you or not. Some pickpocket will try and take whatever they can . . . and it may even be your life if it satisfies them. In the alleys there are rapists, druggies O.D or just insane people with a dirty knife ready to cut any passerby.
Now if you go down Ikopler Dr., drive straight down and pass the graveyard you'll come to an old rundown schoolhouse. Once you come to that you'll want to make a left and should happen upon another rundown hotel that's called the "Mechs." But we aren't here because of the hotel . . . oh no . . . we're here because of what's inside the hotel on the 6th floor in room 651 . . .
~*~*~*~*~
"Come on Heero," a tall dark figure huffed, "we have to get going or were gonna miss our flight and you wanna get outta here don't you?" The figure jumped up onto the suitcase that was packed full of clothes trying to get it shut.
"Of course I do, this is my only chance to finally be free of this place. But its just that . . ." the smaller figure across from him lowered his head and wrapped his arms around himself as if he was cold.
"But what?" Kevin asked gently.
"It's just that . . . everything is finally going to change," he paused, " but what if I don't fit in where you live. And what if the kids hate me there, what if I don't make any friends, he said that I was a worthless little runt and that no one will ever want to be my friend. What if he's right and what if . . ." Heero was cut off from finishing his statement as Kevin came over to him and hugged him. Heero buried his head in his chest and tried desperately to hold back his tears but it seemed that a few of them wanted to escape.
Kevin sighed, 'Oh Shorty, I wish that none of this had ever happened to you . . . it should've happened to me. Damn her,' he thought bitterly.
"Heero," he started, " there are going to be a lot of 'what ifs' but we just have to get past that. There is no guarantee that everything is going to be peachy keen once we get there. But I will promise you that if you don't like where we are going to live then we can move somewhere else where you feel comfortable. Would you like that?"
Heero shook his head furiously, " Kevy I can't ask that of you. You have already done so much for me. And plus your supposed to be starting the college there. No, whatever happens I'm just going to have to get through it like you said. I will just have to suck it up. I've done it before . . . I can do it again." He wiped his fallen tears away and pushed away from Kevin going back to finish packing.
"Heero . . ." Kevin sadly sighed trying to think of something to make Heero feel better, "come on Hee-chan you're gonna love it in the big CA. There are all kinds of things you can do." He thought that he had failed at getting Heero in better spirits and was about to go back to packing when he heard a small reply.
"Like what?"
Kevin lightened up, he knew a lot about California. He had after all lived there since he was 8. "Well," he began, "in California you can go to the movies, clubbing . . ."
Heero interrupted, "Clubbing?"
Kevin looked at Heero astonished, "Heero Kenji Yuy don't you stand there and tell me that you have never been clubbing."
"Well . . ." was the meek reply.
"You've never gone clubbing?"
A firm shake of the head was his answer.
"Do you know how to dance?"
Heero stayed quiet and looked as if he was going to cry. 'I wonder what I did to upset him.' He then proceeded to ask, "Heero what's wrong?"
"I'm never going to be normal," he started to break down with new tears forming in his eyes, "and it's so not fair because that's all I want to do. People like you, normal people, can do normal things. I cant."
"Why not sweetie?" He asked gently.
"He used to make me dance for him. I had to wear clothes that barely covered me and I felt so . . . so . . . dirty. He even made me dance in front of his friends and sometimes they would . . . touch me in places that made me really uncomfortable." He was sobbing hard by now, crystal tears running down his face. He slid to the ground, pulled his knees to his chest, and started to rock back and forth.
'That bastard,' was all that went through Kevin's mind. He walked over to Heero, knelt down next to him and brought him into his lap, rubbing his back in comforting circles.
"Kevy it was awful. Sometimes he would . . . do things to me that I never liked. And I had to do things to him too or he would hit me. And I didn't want him to hit me so I did it. I'm so sorry Kevy . . ." He curled in on himself and clutched at Kevin's shirt.
"SShh sweetheart. You had to do what you needed to do to stay alive. I just wish that you had called me sooner and I would've come for you."
"I didn't call you sooner because you had a life, a good one, and I didn't want to ruin it for you. And besides, I know that mom didn't want to see me anyway. She hated me and she still does," he whispered sorrowfully.
"She doesn't hate you Shorty, she loves you because you are her baby," he whispered gently while starting to rock Heero.
"Then why did she leave me here, why didn't she take the both of us instead of just you, and why did she say that she never wanted me?"
Kevin stayed quiet for that one, he just continued to rock Heero trying to calm him down. Kevin knew what she said and knew that she had meant it at the time but he still did think that maybe, if she saw him and really got to talking to him, would take back those hateful words.
'I even remember the day it happened.' He thought back to the time where he still did live with Heero, where they were still a family albeit broken but a family nonetheless. Back to the time where he actually got to see his brother every day.
Oh wait a minute, I never did tell you the whole story did I? Well please accept my apologies and let me take you back. Back to where Kevin and Heero didn't exist . . . back to where their parents were still together and very much in love.
Now this all took place while Jessica and Jack were in high school. They had been dating for a little while and decided that they were in love. They thought that they were so in love that they should express it . . . physically and didn't think that they needed protection. Well all of us smarties know that if you don't use protection while having sex (male and female) the outcome is a baby. Well surprise, surprise that's what they got.
Well needless to say neither one was prepared for this and that's basically where everything started to go wrong. Jessica found out too late and couldn't get an abortion without her parents knowing. So now the only choice is to have the baby. Well they both told their parents and their parents blew up. Literally. They were furious. Their parents were the parents that had everything planned out for their children. That they would go to Harvard, become lawyers, marry in their early 30's, have a boy and a girl, and live the normal American dream (sorry, I forgot to mention that they were American with very few hints of Italian).
But once their parents knew, they blew up, and they kicked them out of the house. They had nowhere to go and had no money. Everyone knows that L1 is the poorest colony out there and so that is where they went. 1 month later Kevin Jack Willis (that was Jack's last name) was born.
Being the young man that he was, Jack had no idea what to do. He was only 17 years old and was already a father. Everything was happening so fast for him, the last thing that he remembered was he was scoring the winning touch down for his football team that would put them in the championships and kissing the most popular girl in school who was also the head cheerleader. He needed an outlet to vent upon. He needed something to make him feel real and in charge again. And that's when he starting beating up his wife, started drugs, started using prostitutes to fulfil his sick fantasies and found his new best friend that had his name too . . . Jack Daniels.
As any woman would be Jessica was pissed that there was another woman . . . or make that about 10 women a week. She had gotten her job as a prostitute as well and made pretty decent money. One night she found a customer and did what she did best, whored herself, but this time it was different. She decided that she would make her husband jealous by having the same customer every night for a week. So it was like she had a boyfriend. She thought that it would at least piss him off because she was with someone else and not to mention that he was Japanese. She knew that he hated Japs could barely stand to look at them and she herself hated them too. They had those freaky looking eyes and the way the talked just made her want to throw up. But she endured this because she thought that it would make her husband upset. During this week, one night she forgot to use protection of some kind while 'servicing' him. And it ended in . . . what was that boys and girls? . . . yes! You got it . . . a baby!
She knew that he would be pissed about that. He could barely stand Kevin and hasn't even held him since he was born. It was when Kevin was 4 that this terrible mistake happened. And she knew that she had to tell him. After tucking Kevin in she told him that she was pregnant. And like she had predicted he was furious. She tried to work the plan that she had thought up by saying that it was his and that they had done it while he was drunk so he couldn't possibly have remembered it.
The only reply that she got from him after that comment was, "I would remember fucking a whore like you." In the end she had finally told him that it wasn't his, it was one of her customers and he was Japanese. She thought that he would at least give her some pity, I mean it was a Jap for goodness sakes! She would have a half Jap baby that was the worse thing that you could ever do. But pity was not what he gave her, but what he did give her a black eye, a broken nose, 2 bruised ribs, a sprained wrist and ankle.
After that day it seemed like he would hit her everyday for no reason at all, more than he used to. Surprisingly she had a healthy baby boy with beautiful dark blue eyes. So dark that they matched the midnight sky with soft chocolate brown hair. She hated him on sight. She started hysterically crying for the nurse to take the 'cursed beast' away. All Jack did was stand there and flirt with the nurse who was cleaning up the instruments. The nurse was the one who named him. She named him Heero Kenji Willis. At that moment Jack said, "Oh hell no. That half JAP will not take my last name. Why doesn't he take the name of the son of a bitch you fucked."
The nurse nervously looked to the mother of the child. Jessica had finally calmed down to where she was able to speak clearly and muttered right before she passed out, "Yuy . ." So on that day, it came to be that Heero Kenji Yuy was born.
So after that, life went on pretty much the same. Jack still did prostitutes, Jack Daniels and was recently introduced to Angel Dust. While Jessica continued to sell her body she was secretly also trying to contact her mother to save her from the hell that she was living.
It happened when Heero was 4 and Kevin was 8. Jessica's mother had finally called back to answer Jessica. Her mother had apologized for disowning her little girl and not being there when she really needed her. Jessica then said that she didn't care, it just mattered that she was there now. She then proceeded to tell her mother about everything that had happened between Jack and her. It was 2 weeks after that day, with the help of her mother that she filed for divorce.
Jessica was ecstatic, she was finally going to leave the hell that she had been living for 8 years. But yet again she fell from her white fluffy cloud in the sky when the judge said that she would take Heero, since he was so young, and Jack would take Kevin. She pleaded and begged the judge for Jack to take Heero because he needed a male role model growing up and what better than his own father. The judge thought this over and allowed him to take Heero. It was a week later that Jessica took Kevin and moved back to California with her mother.
After that day it seemed as if Heero and Kevin were living in 2 different worlds. While Kevin was playing with kids his own age, Heero was watching kids his own age playing in the park while he walked home from getting groceries. While Kevin had the chore of keeping his room clean, Heero had the chore of keeping the whole house clean. While Kevin helped his mom make cookies, Heero was making full course meals. While Kevin was asleep warm in his bed, Heero was shivering from the cold on his old worn out mattress with a thin holey blanket to keep him warm. And while Kevin would get a spanking or a smarting cheek for doing something bad, Heero would get a beating that would include a bruised cheek, a black eye maybe even 2 bruised ribs and usually a sprained ankle . . . only if he was lucky.
It was very hard for Heero while he was growing up. He would classify as having feminine features for a little boy and everyone noticed that. He was just too pretty for his own good. I mean just imagine a little boy who was small and even looked a little sickly with big cobalt blue eyes that took up half his face with a small rounded nose and full rose colored lips that formed a little bit of a pout. Everyone who saw him wanted to posses the boy . . . and sadly some did including his father. His father wasn't one to not notice beauty and he noticed it in his son. He didn't care that Heero was his son or just a little boy. All he cared about was taking the boy in a way no father should ever do. He even sometimes made the boy dance for him and his friends. And when they were low on cash he would let his friends have their way with him for money.
Heero was a very broken boy and lived the horrible life until he was 16 years of age. One night his father left in a drunken stupor and said that he was never coming back. Well Heero thought nothing of it and just thought that he would come back later. But he didn't come back that night, that week, or that month. It was soon known that he was never coming back. It was about 2 months after he left that he heard a pounding on the door. Well he went to answer it and saw that it was his father's friends, drunk and high. They barged in the house and all started talking to him. One of them, the one named Larry, moved forward and shoved a piece of newspaper into his hand. The title of the article was 'ANONYMOUS MAN FOUND SOUTH OF HARPERS RIVER,' Heero immediately knew that it was his father.
Larry smiled lecherously at him, "Well baby," he breathed in Heero's face, "I guess now that your daddy isn't here anymore you need someone to look after you. And I think that we're the people to do that." He looked back at his gang and they all laughed. He continued, "Now you can't just freeload. You gotta earn your keep. And I think that you know what I mean."
Heero stuttered, "Y-You k-know I . . . don't think that y-you should b-be here. I-I'm gonna c-call the p-police if you don't l-leave right now." Heero was violently shaking by now.
Larry grabbed Heero by the waist and hoisted him over his shoulder while walking to the backroom. Heero started to kick and scream while he was being picked up. The men behind him started to follow their leader.
"Please d-don't d-do this. I-I'll do anything. Just please don't do this." He sobbed while the tears poured down his face.
One of the men called out; "Oh boy do we know that you'll do anything."
Larry threw Heero on the bed once he reached the room and jumped on top of him, straddling him. He called over his shoulder while pinning Heero's hands to the bed, "One of you go get me something to tie him up with!"
Heero was screaming at the top of his lungs calling for someone to help him but he immediately stopped when he got punched in the mouth. "Shut up you little slut. Don't worry you might think that you wont enjoy this but I know you will."
The men came back with belts and ties from all over the house. They proceeded to tie and gag Heero. They then ripped his clothes off and all Heero could do was close his eyes. 'Please God . . . I know that you really don't like me. But please just kill me now. Please just kill me now.' But God did not answer him and so Heero was awake through the whole entire thing . . . the gang rape.
When they finished they left Heero in a pool of his own blood and their cum. He didn't move for hours, the only sign of life from him was of him blinking his dull eyes. He finally got the strength to untie himself and clean himself up. He tried to kill himself numerous times after that but he just couldn't go through with it. 'Fucking chicken shit,' he used to call himself because he was so afraid of death but yet he wished for it more than anything.
After that day it seemed like they would come over 2 times a month. But he finally got tired of it and decided that he really needed to do something. And that's when by accident he found Kevin's number, well it was mother's number. He remembered before Kevin left that he told him to call him if he ever needed anything. Yeah, he was only 8 when he said it but he still felt as though he meant it.
So he got up the courage to finally call Kevin. When he called it sounded like an English man on the other side of the phone, 'I guess this is the butler,' he thought to himself. He asked for Kevin and the butler replied, "I'm sorry. Master Kevin doesn't live here anymore but I can give you his current house number." So the butler gave him the current house number of Kevin.
He was very nervous, I mean it took a lot of guts just to call that number. Now he had to call another?! What was this world coming to? But he called the number anyway and this time it was Kevin who answered. 'Oh my goodness. I can't believe it's really him.'
"Kevy?" he called Kevin his childhood nickname.
There was a very long pause and then, "Shorty?"
'I can't believe it. He still remembers!' "Uh yeah it is. H-How are you?"
"Holy shit this is not Heero is it?"
"Uh . . . yeah it is but if you don't want to talk to me. It's okay . . ."
"Oh my God! Heero I haven't heard from you in forever! How have you been Shorty?"
"Um actually not so good," he quietly replied.
"What do you mean? Where's dad? Are you okay?"
After those questions Heero just couldn't hold it in anymore. He broke down and told Kevin everything. From the time when he left, to the time where his dad first touched him, to the time where he hadn't eaten for over a week to the present time. He also told him that he had nothing here anymore, he also told him the bad news that their father was dead and that his dad's friends kept coming to get him.
That's when Kevin made up his mind to come and get Heero. He could even take Heero with him to the other part of CA where he was going to live. He was transferring there to attend the college, he knew that he could find a nice house to get in a nice neighborhood too. He could even register Heero into high school. With his mind made up he took the first flight up to L1.
And now this should take you to the present. I apologize for not telling you this before. I suppose it was very vital information. But now you know so lets get back to the story shall we.
Kevin sighed and began whispering gently while drying Heero's tears, " Heero I can't make up excuses for our mother. And I'm not going to sit here and try. But you have to understand that she was young and stuck on herself then. But you can't stick on her; she made the biggest mistake of her life. And I'm sure that she realizes it but you just have to move on without her even if she doesn't."
Sniffing he tried to smile, "You're right Kevy. I'm sorry I'm being such a baby. I should be happy that you actually wanted to do this for me. And I am. I really am." He turned in Kevin's embrace and gave him a hug. He whispered, "I love you Kevy."
Kevin smiled warmly and returned Heero's hug. After he let go he said. "Oh come, come now. I know that Heero is NOT and I repeat NOT getting mushy gushy!"
Heero feigned mock anger, "Of course I'm not. What do you think I am . . . a girl?"
Kevin was about to answer when Heero interrupted, "Don't answer that if you value your life."
"Oh so you're threatening me now huh?" He pounced on Heero and started to tickle him.
"KEVIN! STOP IT AHAHAHAHAHA I MEAN IT! NOW KEVIN! I HAVE TO FINISH PACKING HAHAHAHAHAHA!" He turned red in the face. He pleaded and pleaded but Kevin wouldn't stop.
So it was 2 tickle fights, 1 bathroom use, and 1 brown paper bag use later they were finally back to packing and were soon on their way to the shuttle port. They gave the guard their ticket and were directed to the loading deck for the shuttle. After being seated by the stewardess Kevin took out his Walkman and Heero took out a blanket and pillow about to get comfortable for the long ride.
As they took off Heero turned to see Kevin already asleep with his Walkman blasting. He turned it down and gazed at him. He tucked a gold strand of hair behind his ear and thought, 'Kevy . . . I don't know how I can ever thank you. But I know someday I will be able to.' He settled back into his seat and closed his eyes.
They then flew off into oblivion, both sleep wise and space wise. They were headed for an adventure that they would never forget. They would also meet people that they would never forget. And finally Heero would be able to try and live the Good Life.
~*~*~*~*~*~
So this turned out to be the longest thing I have ever written. I hope that you guys liked it. I'm pretty proud of this lil chapter my damn self. Send me some reviews. I need them to survive. The next chapter will be coming up soon! Stay Tuned! Haha I always wanted to say that.
I wanna say thank you for all the reviews that everyone has given me. But I did get one review from someone called chibidark angel(). First of all thank you for the very nice review . . . it tells me that I am doing something right and to keep it up. And they asked me what was wrong with 1x2. In my opinion I just don't like 1x2 because some of the ones that I have read all have Heero as being the biggest asshole alive, killing everyone in sight, and saying that he is just plain nutty. Now I will admit that I have read some really nice 1x2 but I just cant get into it. I just don't think I was born as a 1x2. LOL. But what catches me about 2x1 is that they show the other side of Heero. The kind and loving side or the scared little boy side that needs some Duo-lovin. HEHE But they were right and we should all get along . . . so all you 1x2's can bow down to us. HAHA! Okay that one was great . . . but on the serious note I hope that everyone understands me better now. I'm not a 'kill all living 1x2' I'm more of a 'kill all the bastardization of Heero and of him being 100% asshole/nutty and let the 2x1 atleast be equal to 1x2.' It just really makes me mad that 1x2 has more than us. I really don't like that. But yet again chibidark angel() is right: "Remember, love is love, doesn't matter the pairing, its all good, I like them both, don't see why people have to have preferences, it doesn't make any sense, cant we just all get along, we're all open minded people, right?" I think that should be quote of the day. HEHE Anyways on to HEE-CHAN'S STORY!!

"Come on Heero," a tall dark figure huffed, "we have to get going or were gonna miss our flight and you wanna get outta here don't you?" The figure jumped up onto the suitcase that was packed full of clothes trying to get it shut.

"SShh sweetheart. You had to do what you needed to do to stay alive. I just wish that you had called me sooner and I would've come for you."
"I didn't call you sooner because you had a life, a good one, and I didn't want to ruin it for you. And besides, I know that mom didn't want to see me anyway. She hated me and she still does," he whispered sorrowfully.
"She doesn't hate you Shorty, she loves you because you are her baby," he whispered gently while starting to rock Heero.
"Then why did she leave me here, why didn't she take the both of us instead of just you, and why did she say that she never wanted me?"
Kevin stayed quiet for that one, he just continued to rock Heero trying to calm him down. Kevin knew what she said and knew that she had meant it at the time but he still did think that maybe, if she saw him and really got to talking to him, would take back those hateful words.
'I even remember the day it happened.' He thought back to the time where he still did live with Heero, where they were still a family albeit broken but a family nonetheless. Back to the time where he actually got to see his brother every day.
Oh wait a minute, I never did tell you the whole story did I? Well please accept my apologies and let me take you back. Back to where Kevin and Heero didn't exist . . . back to where their parents were still together and very much in love.
Now this all took place while Jessica and Jack were in high school. They had been dating for a little while and decided that they were in love. They thought that they were so in love that they should express it . . . physically and didn't think that they needed protection. Well all of us smarties know that if you don't use protection while having sex (male and female) the outcome is a baby. Well surprise, surprise that's what they got.
Well needless to say neither one was prepared for this and that's basically where everything started to go wrong. Jessica found out too late and couldn't get an abortion without her parents knowing. So now the only choice is to have the baby. Well they both told their parents and their parents blew up. Literally. They were furious. Their parents were the parents that had everything planned out for their children. That they would go to Harvard, become lawyers, marry in their early 30's, have a boy and a girl, and live the normal American dream (sorry, I forgot to mention that they were American with very few hints of Italian).
But once their parents knew, they blew up, and they kicked them out of the house. They had nowhere to go and had no money. Everyone knows that L1 is the poorest colony out there and so that is where they went. 1 month later Kevin Jack Willis (that was Jack's last name) was born.
Being the young man that he was, Jack had no idea what to do. He was only 17 years old and was already a father. Everything was happening so fast for him, the last thing that he remembered was he was scoring the winning touch down for his football team that would put them in the championships and kissing the most popular girl in school who was also the head cheerleader. He needed an outlet to vent upon. He needed something to make him feel real and in charge again. And that's when he starting beating up his wife, started drugs, started using prostitutes to fulfil his sick fantasies and found his new best friend that had his name too . . . Jack Daniels.
As any woman would be Jessica was pissed that there was another woman . . . or make that about 10 women a week. She had gotten her job as a prostitute as well and made pretty decent money. One night she found a customer and did what she did best, whored herself, but this time it was different. She decided that she would make her husband jealous by having the same customer every night for a week. So it was like she had a boyfriend. She thought that it would at least piss him off because she was with someone else and not to mention that he was Japanese. She knew that he hated Japs could barely stand to look at them and she herself hated them too. They had those freaky looking eyes and the way the talked just made her want to throw up. But she endured this because she thought that it would make her husband upset. During this week, one night she forgot to use protection of some kind while 'servicing' him. And it ended in . . . what was that boys and girls? . . . yes! You got it . . . a baby!
She knew that he would be pissed about that. He could barely stand Kevin and hasn't even held him since he was born. It was when Kevin was 4 that this terrible mistake happened. And she knew that she had to tell him. After tucking Kevin in she told him that she was pregnant. And like she had predicted he was furious. She tried to work the plan that she had thought up by saying that it was his and that they had done it while he was drunk so he couldn't possibly have remembered it.
The only reply that she got from him after that comment was, "I would remember fucking a whore like you." In the end she had finally told him that it wasn't his, it was one of her customers and he was Japanese. She thought that he would at least give her some pity, I mean it was a Jap for goodness sakes! She would have a half Jap baby that was the worse thing that you could ever do. But pity was not what he gave her, but what he did give her a black eye, a broken nose, 2 bruised ribs, a sprained wrist and ankle.
After that day it seemed like he would hit her everyday for no reason at all, more than he used to. Surprisingly she had a healthy baby boy with beautiful dark blue eyes. So dark that they matched the midnight sky with soft chocolate brown hair. She hated him on sight. She started hysterically crying for the nurse to take the 'cursed beast' away. All Jack did was stand there and flirt with the nurse who was cleaning up the instruments. The nurse was the one who named him. She named him Heero Kenji Willis. At that moment Jack said, "Oh hell no. That half JAP will not take my last name. Why doesn't he take the name of the son of a bitch you fucked."
The nurse nervously looked to the mother of the child. Jessica had finally calmed down to where she was able to speak clearly and muttered right before she passed out, "Yuy . ." So on that day, it came to be that Heero Kenji Yuy was born.
So after that, life went on pretty much the same. Jack still did prostitutes, Jack Daniels and was recently introduced to Angel Dust. While Jessica continued to sell her body she was secretly also trying to contact her mother to save her from the hell that she was living.
It happened when Heero was 4 and Kevin was 8. Jessica's mother had finally called back to answer Jessica. Her mother had apologized for disowning her little girl and not being there when she really needed her. Jessica then said that she didn't care, it just mattered that she was there now. She then proceeded to tell her mother about everything that had happened between Jack and her. It was 2 weeks after that day, with the help of her mother that she filed for divorce.
Jessica was ecstatic, she was finally going to leave the hell that she had been living for 8 years. But yet again she fell from her white fluffy cloud in the sky when the judge said that she would take Heero, since he was so young, and Jack would take Kevin. She pleaded and begged the judge for Jack to take Heero because he needed a male role model growing up and what better than his own father. The judge thought this over and allowed him to take Heero. It was a week later that Jessica took Kevin and moved back to California with her mother.
After that day it seemed as if Heero and Kevin were living in 2 different worlds. While Kevin was playing with kids his own age, Heero was watching kids his own age playing in the park while he walked home from getting groceries. While Kevin had the chore of keeping his room clean, Heero had the chore of keeping the whole house clean. While Kevin helped his mom make cookies, Heero was making full course meals. While Kevin was asleep warm in his bed, Heero was shivering from the cold on his old worn out mattress with a thin holey blanket to keep him warm. And while Kevin would get a spanking or a smarting cheek for doing something bad, Heero would get a beating that would include a bruised cheek, a black eye maybe even 2 bruised ribs and usually a sprained ankle . . . only if he was lucky.
It was very hard for Heero while he was growing up. He would classify as having feminine features for a little boy and everyone noticed that. He was just too pretty for his own good. I mean just imagine a little boy who was small and even looked a little sickly with big cobalt blue eyes that took up half his face with a small rounded nose and full rose colored lips that formed a little bit of a pout. Everyone who saw him wanted to posses the boy . . . and sadly some did including his father. His father wasn't one to not notice beauty and he noticed it in his son. He didn't care that Heero was his son or just a little boy. All he cared about was taking the boy in a way no father should ever do. He even sometimes made the boy dance for him and his friends. And when they were low on cash he would let his friends have their way with him for money.
Heero was a very broken boy and lived the horrible life until he was 16 years of age. One night his father left in a drunken stupor and said that he was never coming back. Well Heero thought nothing of it and just thought that he would come back later. But he didn't come back that night, that week, or that month. It was soon known that he was never coming back. It was about 2 months after he left that he heard a pounding on the door. Well he went to answer it and saw that it was his father's friends, drunk and high. They barged in the house and all started talking to him. One of them, the one named Larry, moved forward and shoved a piece of newspaper into his hand. The title of the article was 'ANONYMOUS MAN FOUND SOUTH OF HARPERS RIVER,' Heero immediately knew that it was his father.
Larry smiled lecherously at him, "Well baby," he breathed in Heero's face, "I guess now that your daddy isn't here anymore you need someone to look after you. And I think that we're the people to do that." He looked back at his gang and they all laughed. He continued, "Now you can't just freeload. You gotta earn your keep. And I think that you know what I mean."
Heero stuttered, "Y-You k-know I . . . don't think that y-you should b-be here. I-I'm gonna c-call the p-police if you don't l-leave right now." Heero was violently shaking by now.
Larry grabbed Heero by the waist and hoisted him over his shoulder while walking to the backroom. Heero started to kick and scream while he was being picked up. The men behind him started to follow their leader.
"Please d-don't d-do this. I-I'll do anything. Just please don't do this." He sobbed while the tears poured down his face.
One of the men called out; "Oh boy do we know that you'll do anything."
Larry threw Heero on the bed once he reached the room and jumped on top of him, straddling him. He called over his shoulder while pinning Heero's hands to the bed, "One of you go get me something to tie him up with!"
Heero was screaming at the top of his lungs calling for someone to help him but he immediately stopped when he got punched in the mouth. "Shut up you little slut. Don't worry you might think that you wont enjoy this but I know you will."
The men came back with belts and ties from all over the house. They proceeded to tie and gag Heero. They then ripped his clothes off and all Heero could do was close his eyes. 'Please God . . . I know that you really don't like me. But please just kill me now. Please just kill me now.' But God did not answer him and so Heero was awake through the whole entire thing . . . the gang rape.
When they finished they left Heero in a pool of his own blood and their cum. He didn't move for hours, the only sign of life from him was of him blinking his dull eyes. He finally got the strength to untie himself and clean himself up. He tried to kill himself numerous times after that but he just couldn't go through with it. 'Fucking chicken shit,' he used to call himself because he was so afraid of death but yet he wished for it more than anything.
After that day it seemed like they would come over 2 times a month. But he finally got tired of it and decided that he really needed to do something. And that's when by accident he found Kevin's number, well it was mother's number. He remembered before Kevin left that he told him to call him if he ever needed anything. Yeah, he was only 8 when he said it but he still felt as though he meant it.
So he got up the courage to finally call Kevin. When he called it sounded like an English man on the other side of the phone, 'I guess this is the butler,' he thought to himself. He asked for Kevin and the butler replied, "I'm sorry. Master Kevin doesn't live here anymore but I can give you his current house number." So the butler gave him the current house number of Kevin.
He was very nervous, I mean it took a lot of guts just to call that number. Now he had to call another?! What was this world coming to? But he called the number anyway and this time it was Kevin who answered. 'Oh my goodness. I can't believe it's really him.'
"Kevy?" he called Kevin his childhood nickname.
There was a very long pause and then, "Shorty?"
'I can't believe it. He still remembers!' "Uh yeah it is. H-How are you?"
"Holy shit this is not Heero is it?"
"Uh . . . yeah it is but if you don't want to talk to me. It's okay . . ."
"Oh my God! Heero I haven't heard from you in forever! How have you been Shorty?"
"Um actually not so good," he quietly replied.
"What do you mean? Where's dad? Are you okay?"
After those questions Heero just couldn't hold it in anymore. He broke down and told Kevin everything. From the time when he left, to the time where his dad first touched him, to the time where he hadn't eaten for over a week to the present time. He also told him that he had nothing here anymore, he also told him the bad news that their father was dead and that his dad's friends kept coming to get him.
That's when Kevin made up his mind to come and get Heero. He could even take Heero with him to the other part of CA where he was going to live. He was transferring there to attend the college, he knew that he could find a nice house to get in a nice neighborhood too. He could even register Heero into high school. With his mind made up he took the first flight up to L1.
And now this should take you to the present. I apologize for not telling you this before. I suppose it was very vital information. But now you know so lets get back to the story shall we.
Kevin sighed and began whispering gently while drying Heero's tears, " Heero I can't make up excuses for our mother. And I'm not going to sit here and try. But you have to understand that she was young and stuck on herself then. But you can't stick on her; she made the biggest mistake of her life. And I'm sure that she realizes it but you just have to move on without her even if she doesn't."
Sniffing he tried to smile, "You're right Kevy. I'm sorry I'm being such a baby. I should be happy that you actually wanted to do this for me. And I am. I really am." He turned in Kevin's embrace and gave him a hug. He whispered, "I love you Kevy."
Kevin smiled warmly and returned Heero's hug. After he let go he said. "Oh come, come now. I know that Heero is NOT and I repeat NOT getting mushy gushy!"
Heero feigned mock anger, "Of course I'm not. What do you think I am . . . a girl?"
Kevin was about to answer when Heero interrupted, "Don't answer that if you value your life."
"Oh so you're threatening me now huh?" He pounced on Heero and started to tickle him.
"KEVIN! STOP IT AHAHAHAHAHA I MEAN IT! NOW KEVIN! I HAVE TO FINISH PACKING HAHAHAHAHAHA!" He turned red in the face. He pleaded and pleaded but Kevin wouldn't stop.
So it was 2 tickle fights, 1 bathroom use, and 1 brown paper bag use later they were finally back to packing and were soon on their way to the shuttle port. They gave the guard their ticket and were directed to the loading deck for the shuttle. After being seated by the stewardess Kevin took out his Walkman and Heero took out a blanket and pillow about to get comfortable for the long ride.
As they took off Heero turned to see Kevin already asleep with his Walkman blasting. He turned it down and gazed at him. He tucked a gold strand of hair behind his ear and thought, 'Kevy . . . I don't know how I can ever thank you. But I know someday I will be able to.' He settled back into his seat and closed his eyes.
They then flew off into oblivion, both sleep wise and space wise. They were headed for an adventure that they would never forget. They would also meet people that they would never forget. And finally Heero would be able to try and live the Good Life.
