Chapter Four

Doctor Tempest went to see what they found out from the Cat scan and she was overjoyed that nothing was found. At least that was one good thing in the young man's favor. Now all they had to do was hope and even pray that he came too.

As Seto sat there he reached over and held onto Joey's hand and started talking to him. "Joey, you have to get better and come back here so that I can tell you to your face that, well that I have feelings for you, hell I think that I'm falling in love with you. You're so damn strong and the way you protect your friends well use that strength to fight and open your eyes. I don't know what I'd do if you give up. I need you to open your eyes, and smile that crooked smile of yours. Please I pray that you can hear me."

Roland was sitting by the door with tears running down his face. He remembered talking to Seto when he was hospitalized and fighting for his life. He sat beside Seto's bed almost day and night just talking to him and then one day he opened his eyes and Roland thanked the Lord for hearing him pray to help that young man come back to them.

Then there was a light knock at the door and he opened the door and there stood Solomon, Yugi and Yami. Roland went outside and let them know what they knew about Joey's condition. "The Doctor is waiting for the results of the Cat scan and now we just have to wait. Yugi walked over to Roland and asked "can we go and see Joey?"

Roland smiled and then he said "Seto's with him now but I don't see what harm it will do" and then he opened the door and they all walked in. As Yugi and Yami walked over to the bed they saw just how upset Seto was and the tears running down his face told them that he really cared for Joey. Yugi went over and stood beside Seto and he softly said "he's coming back, I feel it besides he owe me another game of poker." Seto smiled at him and then he said "we all need to talk to him and let him know how much we love him and want him to come back to us?" So the three of them took turns talking to Joey and telling him how much they loved him and then once in awhile Yugi would tell him something really stupid that Tristan did and they would all kind of chuckle.

Little did they know, but Joey was hearing them but he didn't want to come back because he was so afraid that his dad and Uncle would get him back and this shit would all start over and he didn't no he couldn't stand the pain ever again.

Solomon the walked over and he stood there and he whispered "Joseph listen to my voice. You know me and that I can't lie so when I tell you that you will never have to put up with anymore of the pain that you've had to deal with in the past. I swear to you that I will personally make sure of that, so please come home because you have to many people who love you and need you to come back."

Seto looked up into the face of Solomon and he smiled because he felt that he would stop the bastards from ever hurting Joey again and hell, he was scared of Solomon himself. Then a very strange thing happened, Seto felt Joey squeeze his hand and Seto looked at Solomon and the old man's eyes filled with tears and he whispered "Joey's coming home to us." Then Seto told them that Joey was here under an assumed name of William Tucker so that his father and Uncle couldn't find him, so they had to be careful not to use his real name. Yami, Yugi and Solomon said that they understood.

Roland went to find Doctor Tempest and when he told her they both came running to the room and when she examined Mr. Tucker she found out that indeed his vitals were getting stronger and that he was trying to wake up. "It might take a few hours to a couple of days for him to come to." She told them. Then Yugi asked "can we come back tomorrow and see him?" The doctor told them that as far as she was concerned it would be alright.
