Chapter Eight

Millie suggested to Seto that maybe it would be a good idea to get out of the house for awhile and why didn't he and Joey take Mokuba to the Arcade, so that's where we're going with a very happy Mokie in the back seat. When we got there, we saw Yugi and the others and we all enjoyed the day just hanging out and having fun. What I didn't know was that Millie had an alternative motive for wanting me out of the house. She had found my mother and sister and Roland had gone to America to bring them back. No one knew that Roland had even gone.

We spent the entire day at the Mall and by the time we were ready to come home, Mokie was really worn out. Seto carried him back to the car and laid him on the back seat and after fastening the seat belt around him, we started home. We were all really tired and I guess I kind of fell asleep because the next thing I knew I thought that I heard my mom calling my name. "Joey time to wake up now." When I opened my eyes and looked at the door, there stood my mom, and I fell apart and started crying.

Millie had Seto carry Mokie inside and she was standing next to Serenity with her arm around her shoulder as they watched mother and son deal with their emotions. Finally when I got control of myself and climbed out of the car I wrapped my arms around my sister and we cried and laughed at the same time. Millie had her arm around my mom as they walked into the house with me and Serenity following them.

When we got inside I introduced Seto and Mokuba to my mom and sister and when Mokie looked at Serenity and she smiled at him he started turning beet red. Millie then said to Seto and Mokie "why don't we go get dinner going and let them get reacquainted?" Mom, Serenity and I went into the living room and sat down and then mom asked "how are you doing now?" I couldn't very well tell her what happened to me in front of my sister, so I told "I'm better now." Mom knew that I was holding something back and she asked my sister "honey, go and see if you can help them while me and your brother have an good talk." When she left the room I really didn't want to tell her, but she's my mom and I couldn't lie to her.

Taking a deep breath I told her "when you and sis left dad started blaming me and saying that if I wasn't born then you and he would still be married. Then came the verbal abuse and then he started hitting me and he damn nearly killed me once. Then came the really ugly stuff." I had to stop and blow my nose and then I closed my eyes and told her "about how my own father took money from some men to allow them to use me as their own sex toy and they raped me over and over till I prayed for death. Then I told her about how I ran away and that's how I came to know Millie. She is the one who saved me from wanting to die and because of her Seto and I are together and mom, I'm gay."

My mom was sobbing by the time I was through and she grabbed hold of me and held me in her arms and whispered over and over "baby I'm so very sorry that you had to live with all of that. If I could take it all back I would. Please forgive me, please forgive me."

I held onto to her and I said "mom there wasn't a damn thing that you could of done to stop that bastard from doing what he did and I never blamed you for anything that happened to me. I was so damn glad that you and Serenity wasn't around to witness any of that, and besides he could of done that to sis too and it would of killed me to see that." There was a little knock at the door and when it opened there stood my little sister and she was crying and she ran to me and fell into my lap and cried "Joey are you really alright now?" That's when we knew that she had been out there listening to everything that was said and I told her "sis, I'm getting better and with you and mom here I will great in no time." The three of us held onto each other and cried healing tears.

That evening at dinner it was a joyous affair. Everyone was telling stories crazy stories and all we did was laugh till our sides hurt. After dinner, Mokie asked my sister "want to play some video games?" And she told him that she would. Millie, Seto and Roland helped with dishes and that left me and my mom to go into the other room and talk some more. She asked me "are you in love with Seto?" I was afraid to tell her but then I can't lie to my mom so I told her "yes, but we are getting to know each other. We've both been through similar things in our lives and neither of us are ready to take that next step. Mom, are you alright with me telling you that I'm gay?"

Mary put her arms around her son and said "son, if that's what you want then I'm happy for you. You have a right to be happy and hell, if I were a few years younger I just might give you a run for your money and go for him myself." They laughed and I told her that Millie said the same thing to me. Mom then said "we want to move back home, do you think that Seto might know of a place that won't be to expensive that your sister and I can live? I will have to find a job here and get her registered at Domino Elementary but that won't be hard to do." I nearly jumped up and yelled "ALRIGHT!" my family was coming home. "I'll talk to Seto about it later and see what he can find." I told her.

It was getting really pretty late and Mom and I went to find Serenity and found her and Mokie asleep on the floor of the Game Room. I went to get Seto and the three of us almost started laughing. Seto picked up Mokie and I carried Serenity and we went upstairs and he took his brother to his room and mom opened the door to the room that she and Serenity were sharing. I laid my sister down and gave her a kiss and said "night sis" and she mumbled "night big brother." I had tears in my eyes as I looked at my mom an she gave me a kiss and hug and I told her "see you both in the morning." and I left the room.

Seto was coming out of Mokie's room and he walked over to me and asked "how'd it go?" I smiled and told him "mom would like you to find a place that she and Serenity can live, their coming home here to live." Seto smiled and he said that "he'd look into it first thing in the morning." We walked to my room and we kissed good-night and I went inside and he went to his room and we both went to sleep. I dreamed of making love to Seto and Seto dreamed of making love to me. That was one really erotic dream.
