Chapter Six

Seto was in the den when Roland announced that Doctor Cartwright had arrived. Seto turned away from the window and asked the doctor to sit down. Then Seto asked him a question that kind of threw him for a minute. "Could my falling and hitting my head caused me to forget certain things?"

The doctor asked him "what things are you talking about?"

As you know, Joey and I are married and well now he has accused me of forgetting things that he said I promised and I can't for the life of me remember ever promising him anything, but all our friends and even my own family have said that I did promise Joey things. Could I have suffered some kind of brain injury that caused me to forget?"

The doctor thought about it for a second and then he said "tell me what happened before you passed out, and I might be able to tell you what has happened."

Seto related to the doctor everything that happened and when he was through, the doctor then said "I believe that you are suffering from what we call hysterical amnesia. What that is, is that when something so horrible happens to us our brains shut down and won't allow us to remember what caused us to break down in the first place. I believe that when you read the letter that Joey sent you, your defenses kicked in and well your brain refused to accept what had just happened."

"What the hell and I going to do? Joey may at this very moment be filing for divorce and oh, god, I can't lose him I love him to much." Seto said through his tears.

Doctor Cartwright then suggested "give me the number where he is staying and I'll call and talk to him and try to get him to come home and maybe we can get to the bottom of all of this." Seto gave him Mai's phone number and the doctor stepped out of the room and called Mai. When she told the doctor that he had left and she doesn't know where he is, well the doctor thanked her and went back to talk to Seto.

"Joey has left there and Miss Valentine doesn't know where he is. Is there any of your friends who might know what the heck is going on?" The doctor asked him.

Seto thought for a minute and then he said "Yugi and Yami might know." Seto walked over to the phone and called and asked if either of them knew where Joey was?" All Yugi could tell him was that Tristan had gotten a call from Joey the other day and wouldn't say what it was about." Seto thanked him and told the doctor what he found out.

The doctor told Seto, "if we can't get to the bottom of all this, what is causing your problem could very well become permanent, so it is of the most vital importance that we locate Joey and that the two of you get together and talk about what has happened. I will give you the name of one of the best therapists in the world and maybe he can find a solution to all of this." He gave Seto, Doctor Bernard's number and said "I'll call him and tell him to expect a call for you." Seto thanked him and when Doctor Cartwright left he called Tristan.

Tristan could stand to hear the sadness in Seto's voice, so he told him "where Joey was and asked him not to tell him that he had said where he is." Seto thanked him and said "I won't tell him that you told me where he is."

Seto decided to wait till tomorrow before he went over and tried to get Joey to listen to what he had to say and prayed that he'd believe him and would go see Doctor Bernard with him. It was going to be the longest night of his life, waiting till tomorrow to see the one true love in his life and he just hoped that it would go alright. Seto cried himself to sleep and as the last tear fell on his pillow he drifted off to sleep.

Across town in a small one room apartment, Joey also cried himself to sleep.
