Ch. 3 Trip to the hospital
Through clench teeth, Joey glowers at Valon as he places the cool cloth on his forehead. He doesn't understand why they are helping him. What has he done to deserve such a cruel fate that is his life? The pain at his sides starts to get unbearable. He ignores the pain as long he could but he won't tell them its hurt really bad. He was half tempted to ask them to drop him off at the hospital.
Mai could see that Joey is in a lot of pain. 'That idiot is too proud for his own good.' Mai muse as she lightly touches his side causing a soft hiss from Joey. Her eyes narrow dangerously feeling his injuries at his sides as Joey wriggle away. She felt some broken ribs but wasn't sure. She mouth to Valon, "Grab him now because we are going to take him to the hospital."
Valon wrap his arm around the slim waist. Joey continues to struggle in Valon's arms. The Aussie closes his eyes holding back a moan as the friction of the blond's tight ass against him. He got to stop that wriggling or he won't be able to get up for a while.
"Joey stops doing that or there will be consequences." Valon hiss as his voice became huskier in the blond's ear.
Joey stiffens not wanting to give in to the warm touches of Mai's and Valon's. He could felt that Valon is aroused causing him to blush lightly. Mai smirk at Valon as she understood his arouse by Joey's wriggling. She moves closer to lightly touch the Aussie on the arm making him moan softly.
Joey had to get home before his father kills him. The feeling of Valon's arousal sticking up his ass and Mai leaning against him made him feel safe. He almost felt at home in their arms. The emotions he's getting start to scare him more then he would like to admit.
"I have to go home before…" Joey stop talking as he realize he was about to blurt out his secret.
Valon and Mai exchange looks before turning to Joey sitting on Valon's lap. 'Does he get abuse at home? I hope it's not his father who does it.' Both of them thinking of the same thing as they watch the golden-brown orbs became wary. It didn't stop their uneasiness of the suspicions that it is his father abusing him.
"You're not being abuse at home, right?" Mai inquire softly, causing Joey to look at her.
He flinches not wanting to have Mai and Valon know his problems. Mai move from Valon's side to touch Joey's cheek and look in his eyes carefully. In his eyes she saw a little boy that is scared and needs to be love.
She nuzzles his nose with hers she softly whispers to him as Valon pulls her on top of Joey. "You're going to be safe. Valon stop tugging me this instant."
Joey chuckles at the embarrass look on Mai's face but he wrap an arm around her waist to keep her close to him. She glares at Valon before placing her head on Joey's shoulder careful not to lean on his side to much. Valon gentle pull Joey closer with Mai in his arms.
"Your father is an abusive drunk." Valon stated from all the rumors of the man that the bars.
Joey blinks for a moment before snaps angrily. "What would you know?"
"His name is Akeno, right?" Mai ask caching on to what Valon was doing.
Joey nod glaring at Valon then Mai as his lips form into a scowl. Flinching, Jou didn't want the two of them get part of his problems dealing with his father.
"I heard about him from people in the bars. They all say the same thing about him. He brags about how he abuses his son with different techniques with no name." She continues angrily.
Joey stare at the wall blankly as Mai nuzzle his neck while Valon comb his fingers the silky blond hair. The Aussie felt Joey begin to fidget. A small yelp passed his lips automatically placing his hands to his side. Mai quickly got off his lap as the whimpers came out again.
"Joey what's wrong?" Valon ask seeing the pain expression on his face.
Joey gasps out. "Too much pain and it really hurts…ahh!" He let out a scream as a pain from his side shoot through his body.
Mai rub his back murmuring lovingly to him. "We're taking you to the hospital right now. Don't you dare argue about it?"
Joey answers raggedly. "I don't care as long the pain would stop."
Valon pick him up bridal style walking swiftly to the door. Mai move past them to start the blue convertible. Valon place Joey in the middle seat next to him and Mai before sliding in. Joey gritted his teeth as the pain double through his body. The whimpers came out once but stop when Valon gently rub his arm.
The drive to the hospital was completely silent expect for the whimpers coming past Joey's lips. His brown eyes getting a bit diluted from the pain he's in. He knew there is one person who can help him and keep his visit a secret. Dr. Amara Takeo not only his doctor but confident when he's badly hurt when he's able to make it to the hospital. The only person who knew his secret about him being abuse since his mother left.
They made it to the hospital quickly and nearly cause the receptionist a heart attack when they rush inside. Before she could ask what's wrong, Joey told her through the pain. "I want to see Dr. Amara Takeo. Tell her that Katsuya is hurt and needs to be away from the knives. She'll understand the message and take care of the rest."
The woman picks up the phone and call Dr. Takeo's number. She whispers the message the blond teen told her. Mai and Valon nearly jump while the nurse did when a woman's voice was heard. "Don't sit there and leave him alone! Send him up here this instant. I have no patients and don't trust anyone to treat him but me!"
The woman shook her head before waving her hand to one side as if telling them to take the elevators. She calls out to the three of them. "Take the elevator to the fifth floor and tell the head nurse that you're to see Dr. Takeo."
Joey nearly sags with relief once in the elevators. Mai look confuse about the message that Joey told the receptionist. Valon thought about how Joey put it and knew he must have visited this Dr. Takeo many times before. He passes the blonde woman a look as the doors open.
Standing outside of the elevator, a woman with blue-black hair with golden amber eyes watch Joey closely as she notice the bruises and cuts of a switchblade on his arms. She eyes took in his thin form makes her eyes narrow angrily. Her lips purse in a way shows she's more then angry but livid at the sight of the teen. The doctor glances at the two people holding Joey up.
Talking briskly to them, she directed. "Follow me and well go to the room."
She could see the blonde woman and brunette man care for Joey. She'll wait for a while do judge them if they're the right ones to keep his heart safe. Her eyes flash more wondering helplessly what happen to the young man.
'Did Akeno went farther on him this time or some one else?' She muses over while walking in her office. With her hand she silently directed the two people to set him on the couch she had in her office.
Sitting on the couch, Joey watches Dr. Takeo pace back and forth angrily before she turns to him. Her eyes held a look of pain in them. He felt anger and guilty for not calling right away. He sense Valon and Mai sit besides him to protect him if the case should be. He knew he's in trouble once she starts her ranting at him.
He nearly winces when she spoke softly and deliberately. "Joseph Carter Wheeler, you better have a good explanation to why you're here! You arrive here today with not only bruises but cuts this time. Joey this going to far and you know it. This ain't like the other times when you came to me here at the hospital for these injuries. So start talking right now young man."
