********** Chapter 3 **********
Tristan woke up the next morning with sunlight blinding him.
"Seto?!!! Why did you do that?!!!!" Tristan yelled.
Seto snuck into the room he had given Tristan and pulled the window covers wide open.
"Well, it's noon and it's time for you to wake up." Seto said.
Once Tristan's eyes adjusted to the light, he glared at Seto.
"I always sleep in late when it's summer break..." Tristan said.
"You did that at your house, not at mine." Seto said.
"What should I do today?" Tristan asked.
"Well, I and Mokuba are going swimming today; you can join if you want." Seto said. "Here's a map of the house, you should keep it with you at all times." He handed Tristan the map.
"Thanks... I know it's past breakfast time, so what do we have for lunch?" Tristan asked.
"We eat McDonalds today." Seto said as he headed for the door. "See you later."
"Seto wait!" Tristan called; Seto turned around. "I want to go swimming, but I didn't bring a bathing suit."
"Don't worry; you can borrow one of mine." Seto said.
Tristan smiled.
"Seto, the food is here!!!" Mokuba called.
"Let's go down before Mokuba eats all of the fries." Seto said.
Tristan got up and the both of them went down stairs.
*********
Joey and Mrs. L were now eating pizza. Joey loved Mrs. L's pizza; he said it was better than takeout.
All morning, Mrs. L was thinking about asking Joey about his father; she already knew the problem, she just want to speak to Joey about it.
"Joey, why were you here in town yesterday?" Mrs. L asked.
Joey's eyes widened; what could he say?
"Um... I was just walking around and wondered here." Joey said.
"Joey, I know you lying..." Mrs. L said as she took another bite of her pizza.
"How?" Joey asked.
"I have a sense of things that bother people I love..." Mrs. L said. "You remind me of my son and I love you for that."
"Do I really?" Joey asked
Mrs. L nodded.
Mrs. L's son Harry was like a town hero. He spent time helping making the town better; as a teacher, he was fulfilling his dreams of educating children in his hometown; he was also a town watch patrol officer. Sadly, being that made him lose his life. One day while he was watching over the children play at the park, a gang shootout occurred. Almost everyone ran; except for two children who were too afraid to move and didn't know what was going on. Harry ran for them and got to them on time. Bullets flew their direction; Harry got shot thirteen times; he died of blood loss; the children lived. The children today are known as Joey and Serenity Wheeler.
In the town square, there is a special memorial for him. It bares a picture of him before his death; and there is an inscription on it. It said: 'Forever an angel; through life and through death.' The head stone on his grave has the same inscription.
The thing that made Joey reminds Mrs. L of her son were their personalities. They were practically the same. As a child, Joey looked up to Harry and wanted to be just like him; but after Harry's death, Joey no longer had anyone to look up to. Another thing is that Joey looked exactly like Harry, it looked like they were related, but they weren't. Today, Joey looks exactly like Harry when he was a teenager, except Harry wasn't so pale and skinny, and he had sky blue eyes.
Mrs. L will forever carry the memories of her son, she'll always love him, and even after the day she dies.
"Let's not let that get us down Joey." Mrs. L said. "Harry would want all of us to be happy."
"Yeah, he would." Joey agreed.
Just then his cell rang.
Joey answered it.
"Hello?" Joey said.
"Hey Joey..." A voice said.
"Hey Tea, how are you doing?" Joey asked.
"I'm doing fine." She said. "Joey, I went over to your house today and when I got there, your dad said you ran away."
Joey paled.
"Tea, stay away from that man." Joey said in a serious tone.
"Joey, what's wrong?" Tea asked noticing the change in Joey's tone.
"I'll explain later..." Joey said. "I have to go..."
"Well, will you be at Yugi's today?" Tea asked.
"Yeah, I will..." Joey said.
"Alright, see you there." Tea said then she hung up.
So did Joey.
"You're going out today?" Mrs. L asked.
Joey nodded.
"Okay, well make sure you stay away from your father, alright?" Mrs. L said.
"Okay..." Joey said as he got up, he went up stairs to his room to change his clothes.
Mrs. L watched as he went.
"Your powers will show soon Joey; then you'll see that there are more reasons why you have to stay away from your father." Mrs. L whispered to herself.
**********
Tea had just finished telling where Joey was and explaining his strange behavior to the group.
"I can't believe Joey lied to me..." Yugi said as tears welled in his eyes.
"I think he was trying to protect you." Yami said. "I think Joey's father abuses him."
"Why do you say that?" Tea and Yugi asked.
"Well, I think I'm the only one who noticed Joey's wounds under his shirt." Yami said. "One day when he thought he was alone; he took off his shirt; I walked into the room, not knowing he was in there. As I left, I had taken a double-look at what I saw; Joey was black and blue all over. He also had some cuts that looked deep and some looked infected."
Yugi and Tea didn't know what to say.
"Poor Joey..." A voice said.
Everyone turned around to see Grandpa.
"His father might be coming here expecting to find out where he is soon..." Grandpa said. "We can't let him find out."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
**********
Tristan was looking at his reflection in the mirror in his room.
He was wearing one of Seto's swimming pants; and he was looking at his stomach and torso. He had so many cuts and bruises; Seto already knew about the abuse he got; but, what could he say to Mokuba?
There was a knock at the door.
"Who is it?" Tristan called.
"It's Seto..." The voice said.
"Come in..." Tristan called.
He didn't turn around when he heard the door open and close; he knew well enough from looking in the mirror that Seto was looking at his wounds.
When Seto entered the room and saw Tristan, he didn't know what to say. He was shocked. He thought he had it bad when his stepfather was alive. He might have got beaten once in awhile and suffered a few cuts and bruises. But Tristan had both of his parents beating him and it wasn't once in awhile, it was everyday. Seto's wounds healed over the years and left only one scar that was barely visible on his neck; but Tristan's wounds were going to take a long time to heal; outside and inside; he was going to be scarred for life.
"Tristan, you okay?" Seto asked.
"Yeah, just thinking..." Tristan mumbled.
Seto walked over to Tristan and embraced him from behind; he knew that what Tristan needed now was love and comfort.
Tristan turned in the embrace and let his head fall onto Seto's shoulder.
"It hurts me Seto, it really hurts..." Tristan whispered.
"I know..." Seto whispered.
Seto walked Tristan over to the bed and he sat both himself and Tristan down. He held Tristan in his arms whispering words of comfort to him. Tristan had tears rushing down his cheeks; Seto kissed them away.
"Thank you Seto..." Tristan said.
"You're welcome..." Seto said.
They looked into each others eyes and they drew closer to each other until their lips finally met.
Tristan was so happy; he felt so much love go into the kiss. Seto was just as happy as Tristan; he was always in love with two people, he had one of them now.
Their kiss continued; until the door opened. They broke a part and saw a very shocked Mokuba.
"Seto, I knew you liked Tristan, but I didn't know you liked him that much." Mokuba said.
"Mokuba, get out now!!!" Seto yelled.
Mokuba left the room laughing when he saw his brother blushing.
"I thought you said that Mokuba was at a club meeting." Tristan said.
Seto pulled Tristan closer.
"The club called and said that the meeting was canceled." Seto said.
"I love you Seto..." Tristan said.
"I love you too..." Seto said.
They shared another kiss, this one full of promises of love.
**********
Joey had just arrived at the game shop.
"Hey guys..." He said.
"Hey Joey..." Tea said while everyone waved.
Yugi couldn't hold himself from asking Joey a question that he needed to ask.
"Why did you lie to everyone?!!!" Yugi yelled.
"Yugi, my dad threatened that if I told anyone; he'd come after you guys..." Joey said. "I can't bear to see any of you hurt by my father; there is no telling what he can do."
Everyone was quiet for a moment. Then Grandpa asked a question.
"Where are you staying?" He asked.
Joey explained Mrs. L and everything else.
Everyone was shocked and angry at the end and swore that they would protect Joey; but they don't know what challenges they'll be facing later on.
To be continued...
