But first, I' d like to thank these reviewers...
Flame Swordsman- Thanks for the awsome reviews. I'm going to try to make my chapters longer. I was on a spelling fritz that day so I made some horrible spelling mistakes. If you didn't notice, when I typed 'No girl would ever love me.', instead of girl, I put gril.
Okay, let's go to the story.
I'm going to switch back and forth between Mai and Joey.
Mai walked out of her house and down the sidewalk to the park. She thought that the park might give her some company.
'I wish I wasn't so alone. But, that dream was very different. Why was there a boy who said that he needed help too?
It doesn't make any sense. Could there possibly be someone out there who is in desperate need of someone to be with?
Just like me?'
These thoughts plagued her mind as she passed people on the streets.
Joey awoke to an odd smell. It smelled so bitter, and vile. Joey opened his eyes from his sleep, and saw his father staring at him. He had a grin on his face that Joey wasn't to sure about.
"W-what do you want?"
His father's grin crept wider on his face. Then he started to walk torwards Joey.
Mai's thoughts kept bugging her. She sat down on a park bench. She looked up at the blue sky. She saw the birds fly
overhead. There wasn't any people at the park today. The only sound were the leaves being rustled by the wind. A cool,
gentle breeze flew by her. Making her blonde hair twist and twirl.
'At least it's peaceful.'
But she still felt alone. She wanted to be with someone. Not by herself. She closed her eyes and imagined about the boy that was in her dream. She imagined herself in his arms. His blonde hair delicatly touching her face. Mai felt the warmness that his body gave off. She didn't feel alone.
Mai opened her eyes and saw that he was not there. Her happiness was crushed as she let the sadness take over her.
A small tear went down her cheek.
'Why me? I wish that the boy that was in my dreams come and take me away. Away from the saddness I feel.'
Joey's father advanced on him. Joey tried to get away, but it was too late. He grabbed Joey and threw him down on the bed again. Joey could smell the alcohol on his father's breath. But this time, it was worse. His father's speech was so slurred, Joey couldn't understand what he was saying.
Joey was pinned down. He couldn't move. He was scared. Joey didn't know what his father was going to do.
"What are you doing?!"
His father didn't say a word, all he did was start to hurt his son.
Joey's scream echoed through the apartment. As the pain was so unbearable. When his father was done with hurting Joey,
he passed out. Joey, however, was bleeding, with red marks all over him, and was very sore. He couldn't beleive at what
his father had done to him.
"H-he r-ra-ra..."
Joey's words trailed off as he got up, and grabbed some clothes that had tears in them. Joey switched clothes, and ran outside. Joey ran as fast as he could until finally he had no strength left in him. He ran into the park and collapsed on the grass.
Mai got up from where she was sitting and started to walk home. Until she saw a teenage boy collapsed onto the ground.
She ran over to him. She turned him over so she could see his face. She gasped at what she saw.
'He looks like the boy from my dream. I have to help him. He looks awful.'
She picked Joey up with all of her strength and carried him home. When she got home, she laid Joey down on her bed.
Mai bandaged his arm from a deep gash in it. She let Joey sleep. After a while, Joey awoke to find himself in a bed.
He quickly tried to jump up, but yelled in pain as his arm started to ache.
'Where am I?'
Joey turned to a sound of a door opening. He saw a young woman about his age standing in the doorway.
"Sorry I scared you."
"That's alright. Who are you? And what am I doing here? I thought I was in the park."
"Well, you were in the park until I found you collapsed on the ground. So I brought you here. My name is Mai, and you?"
"Joey. Thank you for taking me in."
"No problem. You were hurt pretty bad. What happened to you?"
"My father abuses me."
"Yeah, I can see that. But what did he do to you?"
"He...he..."
Joey started to whisper.
"He raped me."
Mai's hand was on her mouth as she heard these words.
"Well, you know, you don't have to go back to him. You can stay here with me if you want."
Joey's eyes lit with happiness.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes I'm positive."
"Thank you! Thank you so much!"
Joey leaned forward and hugged Mai. He couldn't beleive it. He was finally free.
Pharaoh's Egyptian Arabian: Awww! So cute! Hmmm... wonder what's gonna happen? Don't know.
Marik & Yami Marik: Hi!
Yami: Oh Ra, what are the nutcases doing here?
Marik: Hey! We're not nutcases!
Yami Marik: I am!
Yugi: XX
Yami: Isn't that the truth.
Mai: Leave a review!
Joey: (Drooling)
