PLEASE READ AND REVIEW!

JOUNOUCHI'S POV:

On school I used to get wonderful grades. Now, I just don't seem to have time for that anymore. Yes, another bad grade, I know it's not going well. But what do you expect from a teenager with adrunk ass dad? No, I'm not lazy. It's my father who's lazy. All he ever does is drink, waste money and watch TV. Yes, my father is an alcoholic and he's a big asshole. But he's still my father, so I'm responsible for him.

I know I know, I'm nagging a lot. But sometimes I just have the feeling I'm gonna break down sooner or later. Wait…

I blink at that thought.

I'm nagging? If I'm nagging, does this mean I'm lazy after all?

I mentally sigh.

So maybe I am being a bit lazy. I mean, I don't do that much, I bet may teens have gone through worse. Taking care of the house and all, working and paying bills and doing my homework late at night… It doesn't seem that much, every student does it.

"Hello? Earth to Jou!"

NORMAL POV:

"Hello? Earth to Jou!"

Jou jumped in the air. "Whoa! What happened! What- Oh…" Jou trailed off. He had probably looked really stupid, staring into space like some sort of zombie.

"What were you thinking of, Jou?" asked Yugi.

"Uhm, nothing important…"

Yugi and the others didn't know about Jou's problems at home. Maybe something about his alcoholic father, but that would be it. Jou didn't want them to know anyway, so that was no problem.

"Oh well," Yugi turned the subject. "I was asking you what-"

Jou shoved his papers to Yugi; he already knew what the boy wanted.

"Oh, that's not very good, Joey. You should do more about your homework. Why won't you go to my place, together with me, Honda and Anzu?"

Jou sighed. Yugi, Anzu and Honda had been doing homework together ever since the four of them were friends. But he never joined them. He didn't have time for homework; he had to work in that damn fast-food restaurant, Burger World.

"Uhm, sorry Yugi. I have plans."

Yugi frowned. "What plans can be more important than your future?"

Joey rolled his eyes. That boy always thought about the future. It probably had something to do with Anzu. Yugi didn't have much time anymore, because Anzu always asked him out to go shopping with her. She claimed it's good for their FRIENDSHIP. So, Yugi had to plan out everything in order to make some time free.

"Just, uhm… stuff, okay?"

It was rude, Jou knew that, but he couldn't let his secrets slip out. And with that Jou walked away.

JOUNOUCHI'S POV:

Yeah, I know, I was bad to Yugi. But what else could I do? Let them know that I have a drunk ass dad, who beats the crap out of me, when I don't pay the electricity? Yes, he does care about electricity, because his precious TV needs it.

I really wonder sometimes, why I keep doing this for him.

All right, because he's my father, that's why. And he's the only one, who knows about my secrets.

Oh geez, of course he knows. He IS the cause of all my problems. Why am I so stupid?

But sometimes… I just wonder what kind of person could be worse than my father.

NORMAL POV:

Seto was lost in his thoughts about his company, when someone bumped into him, making them both fall over to the floor.

"Ow!"

Seto pushed himself up onto his elbows and opened his icy blue eyes, just to find himself staring into honey brown ones. His eyes widened a bit, but then quickly went back to their normal size.

"Get off me, Mutt!" Seto snapped and he shoved the blonde hard, making Jou tumble backward.

"Ow!" Jou cried out as he hit the floor. He still had a blue spot there thanks to his dad. He rubbed the sore spot as he got up and sent a death glare to the CEO.

"Well, here's my answer," he said and walked away, leaving Seto in confusion.

"What was that all about?" Seto mumbled to himself. He shoke his head, brushed himself off and walked away.

Chapter2 is done! STAY TUNED…
