Incredible Loneliness, chapter 3: Joey
"Look, Yugi, I'm sorry. I wish I could tell this to you in person, but because of the past that renders me a 'tough guy', I can't. It's also because of my past that I am so mean to you. Maybe if you learned about my past, you would see that I am just trying to toughen you up. But I didn't know that something like this would happen...."
"Mr. Wheeler?" A kind voice interrupted my thoughts. "I have news on Yugi for you." I looked up to see a nurse from the hospital. Yugi was in the hospital because he stood up for me, and saved me from the bully, Ushio, even though I had been a jerk to him. As the nurse read me the list of injuries, she told me that even if Yugi regained consciousness, I wouldn't be able to tell him how sorry I was.
I got up to leave because: a) even if he woke up, I wouldn't be able see him b) I knew that he had to have been kind of scared of me for what I did to him and c) I still had to find something to give him.
As I walked out the door, I thought about why he was in the hospital, instead of me. The reason for that is: Yugi's heart is too big for his own good! He saved Tristan and me from Ushio, after the both of us had gotten our butts kicked by him. Yugi took blows that I had deserved! All that had happened to me was some cuts, scrapes and bruises! Just these thoughts made me so mad that I kicked a rock violently, and broke a car window, setting of the alarm.
"Oh, crud!" I muttered as I started to run.
The next day was Saturday, and I was going to visit Yugi at the hospital, but I decided not to; at least not until I get Yugi something to show how sorry I was. I was thinking about just a card or maybe a balloon (I'm not that rich) but as I was thinking about this, I walked past the dirty river near Domino High, and was struck with inspiration, but first I needed to go home.
About 5 minutes later, I was back in the same spot, except this time, I was in a raggedy pair of jeans, a shirt that had quite a few holes, and a pair of goggles, and ignoring strange looks and comments ("What a weird-o!"). When I decided that the time was right, I held my breath, and did a dive into the smelly water.
After a while (and at least 7 times coming up to the surface to gag), I found the spot under the window on the second story of Domino High, and went under one last time.
When I was under, thanks to my goggles, I could actually see where I was going. After nearly 2 minutes, I was starting to run out of air. Thankfully, as I was about to pass out, I saw what I was looking for: the centerpiece of the Millennium puzzle.
I grabbed it and popped up to the surface, started running home, changed clothes in my room and started to run to the hospital. I was almost there, but unfortunately, almost doesn't win duels.
"Well, well, well; look who we have here. It's Joey Wheeler." A familiar voice rang from behind me. It took a minute to place it, but when I remembered who it was, I was so scared I nearly wet my pants. It was Ushio's best friend (imagine that!!), who was simply called Shark.
"I heard that shrimpy little Yugi saved you from Ushio. But this time you won't be so lucky!!" Shark told me, but I knew he was sadly mistaken. Unlike Ushio, Shark was even shorter than I am, and nearly TWICE as dim-witted as his friend (hard to believe, but it's true!).
"Look, Shark-for-brains, I got better places to be, and I would LIKE to get going!" I shouted at Shark while keeping my hand on the puzzle piece. "I don't wanna fight 'cha, but if I gotta, I gotta!" I half-shouted at him.
Seeing as how he wasn't about to back off, I raised my fists, but than I heard another voice behind me, one that was only known as Tristan.
"Look, Joey, if you got somewhere else ta be, then I'll cover for ya!" He told me as he pushed in front of me.
"Thanks, Trist..." My voice trailed off hopelessly.
"Don't thank me, run, Joey, RUN!!!" He shouted at me.
I nodded at him and dashed into the hospital, only to be chastised by the senior nurse about safety. I apologized and walked as fast as I could without getting another lecture.
When I made it to Yugi's room, I opened the door slowly and looked at Yugi (who in turn, was looking at me like I might bite him.
"Jo-jo-JOEY!" He managed to sputter out. "I'm sorry, I-I-I didn't think that you would be mad about Ushio, I-I-I thought that maybe..." I held up my hand to silence him.
"No, Yugi, I'm sorry. I was a total jerk to you. I deserved that beating. You might not be the tallest guy I know, but you have the biggest heart." I would have told Yugi my whole life story, about the divorce, my separation from Serenity, but then I realized about the Puzzle Piece that was still in my pocket.
"Oh, and before I forget, here." I handed him the Piece, and I couldn't have been happier with the look on his face, he was so happy.
A few days later, I saw Yugi after school, and he told me, "You know, Joey, I've been thinking. Maybe your nicer than I first thought."
Yokomon52: how'd you like it? huh? tell me!
Joey: well, I think that you made me seem like such a bad guy!!
Yugi: and like I was a helpless little shrimp!
Kaiba: *coughs suggestively*
Yokomon52: I don't care 'cause I'm not typing it over again! Oh, and on Joey's b-day, KuteAzMe loved your reviews. The only reason why K.A.M. had me post it is 'cause she has EVIL parental controls on AOL.
Bakura: Please R&R!! Yokomon52 needs a little more self-esteem.
Yokomon52:*her eye is twitching and little veins have appeared all over her face, her voice is similar to Yami Bakura's* What WAS THAT, MY little 'Kura-kun!?
