Chapter Ten

The young men and Joey all received Medical and Psychological Care. One day a man came into Joey's hospital room and introduced himself and said "my name is Kenneth Nelson and I'm the psychologist assigned to your case." Joey just laid there in bed and stared at the ceiling and said nothing.

Kenneth the said "alright we can do this the easy way or if you want to be a hard ass we can do it the hard way, it's all up to you." That got Joey's attention and he said "what's the difference?"

Kenneth smiled as he explained "alright I've read your case history and it says here that you were forced to perform sexual acts with men and some women and how you've become withdrawn and won't talk to anyone about it, is that right?"

Joey had tears running down his face as he stared at this man who seemed didn't give a damn and he yelled "that's exactly right. I was raped then forced into being a male prostitute and taken away from my home, family, friends and the man that I love and" Joey couldn't continue because he was crying and that's when Kenneth spoke up and said "you probably think that I'm some kind of uncaring bastard, but you're wrong. You see I became a drug addict at a very young age after I was raped by my Uncle. I stole money and things just to get the drugs that I needed and then one day a man offered me money and lots of it if I'd perform a sexual act with him and that's when I became a male prostitute at the age of sixteen. So you see I do know where you're coming from and how damn hard it is to talk about it to anyone, but if you don't talk about it then it will eat you up inside and eventually it will either make you commit suicide or just give up and you'll go insane and be locked up for the rest of your life. It's up to you, I can't tell you what to do."

That was the day that Joey finally admitted to Kenneth and to himself that he did want to live and how scared he was to tell anyone about what happened to him. Kenneth then told him "just start with baby steps and then move on to adult steps and then it won't be so hard talking to anyone about it. I know, you see I had to tell my best friend who eventually became my wife about my past and believe me it was the hardest thing that I ever did, but afterwards it felt like I was re-born again."

Joey had several sessions with Kenneth before he felt he was ready to talk to anyone and he decided to talk to Seto first. Kenneth shook his hand and then he said "you won't regret this move because if this guy loves you he will understand and be always be there for you."

When Seto came to see Joey one day, Joey said "we've got to talk and I hope and pray that after you hear what I have to say that you'll still love me. Joey went on to tell Seto that his father became hooked on drugs and borrowed money from some man and when he wasn't able to pay it back the man has his friends beat him up and then when I came home from school one day, the man decided to take me as payment I was knocked out and then my dad was killed and the man took me to a place where I was told that I would learn to allow men to use me in whatever way they wished and when I refused he had me beaten to show me that was what I would get every time I refused to do was I was told to do. After awhile I just did it and then I started taking drugs to forget all the shit I was put through and then that's what I was doing when you sent them to rescue me. God, Seto I wanted to die so many times but I didn't have the nerve to kill myself." Joey had tears running down his face when he was through and then Seto went to him and held Joey in his arms and they cried tears for what he went through. Seto then whispered "I glad that you told me all of this, but if you told me just so that I would leave you well you can forget it. Joey I love you and there isn't a damn thing that you could say or do to make me hate you."

Joey couldn't believe what he was hearing. Seto still loved him ever after he told him all the disgusting things he did while he was owned by Diablo. Joey wiped the tears from Seto's face and he asked him "would you stay with me while I tell mom about my ordeal?"

Seto wiped the tears from Joey's face and then he kissed him and he told Joey "I'll be right here and I can tell you right now that she'll feel the same way that I feel. Nothing will ever make us turn away from you, Joey we both love you."

The next day while Mary was visiting her son, he told her all about that happened to him and as he was telling her, Mary was crying and sobbing because her baby boy had been forced to do all those terrible things and now he was having to tell her and how it must have been a hard decision to do it. She was so proud of Joey for finally facing his demons and together with Seto they would help him put his demons to rest and make his life joyful again. Ginny was smiling from heaven as she watched her grandson and her daughter crying and loving each other as it should be. She also loved the fact that Seto wasn't leaving but standing beside Joey and would till be there for him always.

The other young men were receiving the care that they needed, but sadly two of them didn't make it. One young man couldn't live with how his life had been so screwed up that he killed himself and the other well his poor mind couldn't comprehend what was going on and had to be institutionalized for the rest of his life. The others were becoming able to talk about all of the shit they had to do and eventually the psychologists hoped that they would be able to join society again. When Seto was notified of all of this he was saddened about the two young men but he was glad that the others were coming around to understand that they had done nothing wrong and that the men involved were the ones who were wrong.

One day while Seto and Joey were talking, Joey asked about the other young men. Seto was uncertain if he should tell him the truth but he knew that Joey had to find out and so he took a chance and when he finally told Joey, Joey cried and cried for all of them especially for Johnny who killed himself and for George who will never be right again. Then Joey asked "Seto could you find out if the others wants to get together or not?" Seto told him "I will call the psychologist in charge and talk to him and he can call and let us if they want to get together or not."
