Chapter 5: City trip.
When Serenity sat at the kitchen table the next morning, she was even more tired then before she went to sleep. All night she was haunted by one and the same nightmare. Joey had already left for work, leaving her and a empty house.
Sigh....she couldn't eat one bite of the cereal that Joey had left for her, because of a weird aching feeling in her stomach, like she swallowed a handful of glass. The food on the table was only making her sick. She went to explore Joey's room, because she still knew little about him. She walked over to a big pile of stuff in the middle of the room, and started to look through all the stuff. Sock's, cd's, text books and so on all came out of the pile one by one. She looked through his notebook, witch completely empty, except for a few ripped out pages, that were probably used to make little paper planes. She looked at his cd's, mostly rock and nu-metal like Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit... She randomly took one out and put it in the cd-player, playing a random track.
//It´s easier to run// //Replacing this pain with something numb// //It´s so much easier to go// //Than face all this pain here all alone//
The harsh voice of the lead singer send shivers down her spine......but not only the voice, the lyrics seemed to be taken right out of her life.
//Something has been taken// //From deep inside of me// //A secret I´ve kept locked away// //No one can ever see// //Wounds so deep they never show// //They never go away// //Like moving pictures in my head// //For years and years they´ve played//
She picked the empty note book of the ground, and motivated by the music, she started to write. A soft voice replaced the harsh one, rapping for forgiveness.
//If I could change I would// //Take back the pain I would// //Retrace every wrong move that I made I would// //If I could// //Stand up and take the blame I would// //If I could take all the shame to the grave//
//It´s easier to run// //Replacing this pain with something numb// //It´s so much easier to go// //Than face all this pain here all alone//
//Sometimes I remember// //The darkness of my past// //Bringing back these memories// //I wish I didn´t have// //Sometimes I think of letting go// //And never looking back// //And never moving forward so// //There would never be a past//
All her experiences since the divorce of her parents and her travels around the world, until her comeback home she wrote down, to the most freighting details.
//If I could change I would// //Take back the pain I would// //Retrace every wrong move that I made I would// //If I could// //Stand up and take the blame I would// //If I could take all the shame to the grave//
//Just washing it aside// //All of the helplessness inside// //Pretending I don´t feel misplaced// //Is so much simpler than change//
Tears dripped on the paper as Serenity wrote word after word, page after page.

Serenity heard some one "knocking" on the door down stairs. Wiping away her tears and closing the notebook, she noticed that she must have been writing for hours. She hurried down the stairs, feeling much lighter and happier. The pain in her stomach was gone, and she was glad that it really helped. Carefully she opened the front door.
Hya! Mai greeted. I came to bring you your clothes, you left them at my place yesterday.
Oh, thanks Mai.
Are you doing anything today?
No, not really......
Great! I'll show you the city today then!
Wait, come in fist. Serenity invited. I have to write Joey a note.
When Serenity was done writing she grabbed one of Joey's jackets, and off they went.
Joey was walking back home when tiny raindrops fell silently on the ground. He didn't care, and he wouldn't even care if there was a hurricane that would destroy the entire city. Because once again he had no job, he was near broke and nobody would take him. He's been in this situation before, but now he had two mouths to feed, his own and Serenity's. Live just wasn't fair.................................
Hey Wheeler!!!! Looking around Joey saw Duke Devilin hanging our of the window of his sports car.
What!?! He asked irritated, Devilin was on of the last persons he wanted to talk to right now.
Tsk ,tsk, tsk....not so nice. Duke said. I'm looking for a little angel with a big mouth that crosses the street.....Duke mused out loud.
Hey Devilin! Joey shouted. Yeah?
Fuck you! He yelled and walked away angrily, not listing to what Duke was yelling at him. Why would he be interested in some little slut that yelled at Devilin?....Jeez.
Finally...home. Joey thought as he walked into his apartment. He grabbed a can of beer, and read the note Serenity left for him. Luckily she's with Mai. He thought. Better than that good for nothing Tristan. He walked to his room, when he entered, he noticed a his stuff was shifted from it's original spot. Yes, even in such a mess as Joey's room, he could notice when things were not on the spot where he left them. (A/N: It's a six sense!) His note book now lay near his stereo, where all his CD's lay scattered on the ground. He picked up his notebook and opened it, the pages were filled with a neat, curly handwriting. Sitting down on his bad, sipping beer, he started to read.
So where are we going first? Serenity asked.
I don't know. Mai answered. I guess the first shopping center we see.
When they had arrived and they walked through the glass door, Mai pulled Serenity directly to a small café. C'mon, let's have a drink first.
B-but I don't have any money! Serenity protested blushing.
Doesn't matter, I've invited you, so I'm paying! And before Serenity could stop her Mai already ordered. A few minutes later, they were both enjoying a nice cup of tea, and Mai was telling something about the city, while Serenity doze off.
Serenity woke from her slumber when she heard a duff "boom" next to her. It was Tea, who had dropped a large bag on the ground. She wore sport clothing and looked exhausted.
Phew........hi everybody! She said breathlessly.
Hi! Mai and Serenity greeted back.
Before any one could ask something, Tea said: I just came back from dancing classes and that's why I'm so exhausted.
When they finished their thee and said god-bye to Tea, Mai showed Serenity the rest of the city. They want into all different shops trying the newest fashion on and looking at guys. They say time flies when you have fun, and the truth is no different. The sun started setting by the time Mai drove Serenity home. Not that they were taking the shortest route, because they spent their time waving and whistling at boys, who whistled happily back. The car stopped in front of a (uhhh, how do you call those lights that have 3 light a red, a green and a orange one?) Serenity prepared to whistle at some guys, when she was rudely interrupted.
Hi ladies! A sly voice said. Serenity and Mai both turned their heads to the car next to them.
Well, well, well....Mai. he smirked. When are you going to be my Valentine?
Shut up Devilin!!!! Mai yelled. But he ignored her.
And who's the lady next to you? Ah... if it isn't are little street crossing angel..... Well, if there was one thing Serenity learned in America, than it was to bite off.
Why don't you get out of that car. She said viscous. And I'll show you a piece of my "divine "fist!!!!
Wow! Every time I meet you, you get sweetah! Laughing out loud he drove away.
Why the.....Serenity screamed fuming.
Just ignore him. Mai said. He's one of the worst guys in town.
There are worse? Please tell, at least I know who I should avoid.
Yeah, people like Seto Kaiba.......... He definitely the ultimate lady killer with capital 'K'.
Really? Serenity asked interested
Yeah, most girls fall for him, but he denies each single one. There is even a story about a girl that killed herself because he rejected her (Serenity: O.o). But still...Mai mused out loud.....I don't think he's a virgin anymore......cuz I heard a lot of stories about him taking advantage of girls.........poor souls.....they should have known better.
Maybe they weren't in the position to reject him............not a chance, if he has enough authority...............Serenity said.
Authority, huh? Well if you owe that. She tiled her head in the direction of a giant skyscraper. You have more than enough.
Serenity looked up to the building......KaibaCorp.......The longer she looked at it, the smaller she felt.
Totally of the topic Mai said: You can have my old clothes, witch I don't like or fit , because they're just filling up my wardrobe. Serenity just nodded vacantly.
When they entered Joey's apartment (Joey gave the spare keys to Serenity) they saw joey staring vaguely out of the window.
Joey! Serenity said, hugging him.
Hi sis. He said, while patting her in her head. I'm sorry to say this. He continued. But you'll have to get a job, or we'll run out of money soon............
No that's okay. Really! I'll go check the paper now!
It's in the living room. Joey said laughing.
OK! Serenity left and Joey's smile fated.
Mai, I need to talk to you. He said trying his best not to blush. Mia followed him into the kitchen.
Here. He pointed at the notebook. Read it. A little uncomfortable Mai sat down, and opened the notebook.
Wha- Mai started
Just read. Joey interrupted her, and again he was staring out of the window.
And so Mai read.......................
A/N: Phew.....another chap finished. This week also chap 1 of Millenium Girl (I hope) It's late so that's it. Oh, and Prague won (my city rules).......Good night! Or more like good mornig........
