Redemption
Chapter 3: I Can See No Way
Joey ran frantically from room to room throwing things in boxes and garbage bags. His husband was wrapping everything from plates and glasses to pictures and snow globes carefully in newspaper and bubble wrap.
Everything was caving in around them, just when they thought it was safe to relax and stop looking over their shoulders.
Yugi was crying silently when Joey walked into the room, sweat dripping off his brow.
"Hey." He put his hand over his husbands, "Hey, we're gunna be ok."
Yugi sniffed, "I can't. I just want it to end."
"It's ok." Joey pulled him into a tight hug, "We are just leaving for precaution, he doesn't know where we are, this is to make sure he never will."
The door opened.
"Hey- What's going on?"
A short girl with straight, black, shoulder length hair stood in the entryway.
Joey looked up at her.
"We have to leave." He stated
"What? Why? I just started a new school."
Yugi straightened himself and tried his best to look strong.
"We have to move, please understand." He told her
She stood silent for a moment, then sighed.
"Where are we going?"
"Yamagata." Yugi replied
"Do I at least get to pack my own stuff?"
Joey held out a box, "Of course."
The girl smiled taking it.
"When do we leave?"
"First thing in the morning?"
"Wow, when you have a surprise you really have a surprise."
"Go pack, if you forget anything we may not be able to come back for it." Joey smiled
The two men watched their adopted daughter go into her room and close the door behind her.
"Do you think this is too much for her?" Yugi asked
"She's been through a lot already, I think moving is one of the least tramtizing things that will happen to her."
"Yeah, but Clara said that she doesn't remember any of it, like suppressed memories."
"Clara doesn't know what's going on in our daughter's head. And she might just not want to talk about it." Joey retorted
Yugi laughed, "Clara has been working with kids, like Harper, for over 20 years, I think she knows her stuff."
"Okay, fine, maybe she doesn't remember, but would that be such a bad thing?"
"No, no it would not."
"When we adopted her we made a promise, a promise to take care of and protect her. This isn't just about us anymore." Joey stated
Harper Rea Wheeler stood in her room looking at her things.
"Where am I supposed to start?" She asked the walls
She decided to begin with her clothes, pulling them out of their appropriate drawers and the small closet and placing them haphazardly into the box that Joey had handed her. She wrapped anything breakable in pieces of clothing and placed them in the box.
Harper opened the door after two hours of packing and looked at her fathers.
"What do I do with my bed and my desk?" Asked the black haired girl
"We've rented a moving truck for the bigger things." Yugi told her
"Can I take a break?"
"Yeah come out here."
Yugi sat on the couch next to the young girl.
"How was school?" He asked putting his arm around her
"Boring, as usual, I still haven't made any friends." She sighed, "Maybe moving won't be so bad."
"I never had any friends, not till I was 15." He told her
"Really? But you have lots of friends from High School."
"Yeah, I do, but I didn't for a long time."
"What changed? Did your adoptive parent move you to a new town in the middle of the first semester?" Harper joked
"Nah." Joey's voice came from the second bedroom, "He rescued me and our friend Tristan from the biggest, meanest bully in the school."
"No way! Really?"
"Yep, not only that, but me and Tristan used to pick on him, we were really mean. And he saved us from getting our asses handed to us."
"Why are you telling me all this?" Harper inquired, "I mean, I like the sharing thing, but I don't think dad wanted me to know that you used to pick on him."
"Because I want you to know that no matter how badly things seem, no matter how badly people treat you, all it takes is a little bit of kindness, just a shimmer of forgiveness, and your entire situation could turn around."
