Joey woke up and felt his whole body in pain. It took him a minute to remember what happened last night when he remembered the person who helped him…he remembered he looked right before he passed out it was Mai who helped him. Joey slowly sat up and let out a low cry. When he finally sat up he looked around. He didn't recognize were he was then he noticed her, she was asleep on the recliner chair. Joey stared at her, he loved the way her beautiful blonde hair hung with that wavy feel to it and how her face was like an angel and how he outfit didn't hide much. Joey shook his head to get those images out of is head and then tried to stand up. Right when he put pressure on his leg pain shot threw like a rocket and he fell back onto the couch with a thump.

With all the commotion Mai woke up and saw Joey sitting there. She instantly remembered what happened after she found him nearly dead on the side of the street. She didn't know why she just didn't take him to a hospital but for whatever reason he didn't want to so she took him back to her place.

Mai's POV

I was driving down the street heading to my apartment when I saw someone on the side of the street. At first I didn't care but when I noticed all the blood that was around him she slowed down and the figure started to look familiar. Mai started to get worried and when she pulled up next to the bleeding figure her fear was right, it was Joey Wheeler, one of her only friends. She ran over to him yelling his name and when she got to him he looked even worse that she thought he would. She tried to get him up so she could take him to a hospital but he protested. He pasted out soon after that and she put his arm around he shoulder and lifted him and got him into her car. She drove to her apartment like a speeding bullet. She pulled up next to the elevator and went around to lift Joey up again so she could get him into her apartment. They got into the elevator and she pressed the button for the second floor. The door closed and for what seemed like an eternity to Mai they got up to the second floor and the door opened. She had to switch Joey so he was leaning on her other shoulder and then she headed to her room. She unlocked the door and went and set Joey on the couch. She went and got a first aid kit out of her bathroom. She first examined his face; he was bruised up but nothing to serious. She moved to his arm. She had noticed there was glass in it. She picked out all of the big pieces then she got out her tweezers and started picking the little pieces out of his arm. After she was sure all the glass was gone she put anti-bionics on it and wrapped it up. She did the same with the other arm which wasn't as bad as his other arm. Next she was the blood stains on his shirt. Mai blushed a bit but quickly snapped out of it and pulled the young blonde teens shirt of revealing many bruises, some were fading away meaning they had been there for a while, and some coming up from whatever happened to him. Mai got up and went into her kitchen to get some ice packs. She returned with a bunch of little backs filled with ice and placed them on Joeys chest and stomach were the bruises were. Mai looked at his pants and noticed glass pieces on one leg but the other seemed fine. She was blushing furiously because she would have to take his pants off. She knew he had boxers on because she could see the top of them coming out of his pants but still this was Joey, not that she didn't like him in that way because she did but she didn't think he felt the same way about her as she did about him. Mai went over and carefully pulled off his pants showing his legs. His right leg seemed to have the most damage but there were only a couple cuts so it didn't look like a lot of glass get threw. Mai cleaned up the cuts and wrapped them up. After she was done checking Joey over to make sure she had gotten everything and had whipped all the blood off of him she stared at his face "God he gorgeous even when he's beaten up and unconscious". She took the ice packs off of him and put a blanket over him and then went over to the recliner and sat down. Before she knew it she was asleep.

END MAI'S POV

"Hey sleeping beauty" Mai said to Joey.

"Hmm..Um…" Joey was embarrassed because he was in his boxers, in front of the woman he loved. "Were I Mai? And how did I get here?"

"Your at my place Joey" Mai looked down on the floor with a really sad expression "You were hurt really bad last night and I brought you here to fix you up. By the way how are you feeling?" she said looking up again giving him a smile but you could see worry in her face.

"I feel like crap, but much better than I did last night"

Mai stood up and sat next to Joey on the couch. "Joey"

"Yeah."

"How did you get these injuries?"

Joey didn't know what to say should I tell her the truth? Should I tell her that my dad hit me? No, no I cant she will think im weak and that I let people walk all over me. I hate to do it but I need to think of a lie.

"Some guys jumped me. I guess they wanted money or something." Joey said not looking her straight in the eye.

Mai knew he was lying because she had looked in his backpack and saw the cloths and money in it.

I bet his dad did this and he was running away, he cant lie to me. I know what hes going threw I was never beaten but my parents never paid attention to me and I ran away more times than I can count, I remember my parents didn't even notice most of the times I ran away and the others times they didn't even care. But I cant imagine what its like to be hit by your father.

"Yeah I guess that's what they wanted" Mai said pretending like she didn't know.

I will have to let talk to him later but right now he doesn't need to remember."

"Are you hungry Joey, I can make yo…" she was cut of by Joeys lips pushing against hers.

Mai was shocked at first but she slowly got into the kiss. Joey licked her bottom lip begging for intense. Mai opened her mouth and Joey didn't waste anytime scouring her mouth with his tongue. After a while they broke of the kiss to get some air.

"What was that for, not that im complaining" Mai said smiling at Joey.

Joey face went red "Um..that was for taking care of me" Joey leaned in and gave her another passionate kiss. "And that was because I like the taste of your lips" Joeys face was now redder than a tomato.

"I like the taste of your lips to" Mai crawled over to Joey and he leaned back so he was lying on the couch and Mai was on top of him being careful not to put pressure on him so he didn't get hurt. Mai gave Joey a kiss know entering his mouth. They staid like that for a while then they broke off. Mai got up off of Joey and stood up "So are you hungry?"

OK im not going to have anything serious happen yet because Joey is pretty much a big bruise right know but don't worry there will be stuff later.
