Chapter Nineteen


Seto sat on the bed holding Joey in his arms, when Joey looked at him and whispered, “What if I'm not strong enough to fight the demons in my mind, what do I do then?”

Seto looked down into his beautiful amber eyes and said, “Just hold onto me, I'll help you and if I'm not there, then Roland, Matthew, Daniel or James will be, Joey you are now part of my family and in my family we all help each other no questions asked.”

Roland walked over to the bed and he said, “Joseph, Seto's right, any one of us will always be there to help you all you have to do is ask.”

Joseph looked at the men standing in the room and he said, “Thanks for all you've done, if it weren't for Dr. Osborn, I'm afraid that I'd be locked up someplace for the rest of my life.”

Paul then said, “Joseph this is only the first step in you fighting the demons, it'll be a long and sometimes scary journey, but like Seto said, “We're all here to help, just reach out and we'll be there.”

Then Paul walked over to Roland and he said, “Now comes the hardest part, helping Joseph heal his mind and then and only then will he be completely again.”

Craig over heard what Paul had said and he asked, “Do you really think that Joseph is strong enough to face what lies ahead?”

Matthew then said, “That's a question that no one can answer, the only thing that any of us can do is be here just in case Joseph needs us.”

Paul then said, “How soon can Joseph be released?” Craig told him, “Joseph's knee is healing and as far as I can see he can be released tomorrow, why?”

Roland said, “We have to get Joseph to the Manor, where Paul can begin to help Joseph release all the bottled up anger, hatred and fear that's been festering inside him ever since his father started abusing him.”

Craig then said, “Alright, I'll have the release forms ready for Joseph to sign in the morning, and I pray that all of you know what the hell you're doing.”

Roland said, “As you know I've been down this road with Seto, and I believe that all of us can help Joseph the same way we did Seto.”

Craig then said, “Joseph needs to get some rest, tomorrow I'm going to release him, you can all come back then.”

Joseph heard what Craig said, and he looked up at Seto and said, “I'm afraid to be alone, what if I have nightmares, what do I do to make them go away.”

Seto then looked at Dr. Hunter and he said, “I'm staying here tonight, Joseph is afraid to be alone.” Craig started to protest, when Roland said, “I think that you can arrange it for Seto to stay can't you.”

So it was decided that Seto would spend the night in Joey's room, then Paul, Roland, Matthew, Daniel and James all came over and they each told Joesph, If you ever need a helping hand, all you have to do is ask.”

Then they all left the room, Seto sat there holding Joey in his arms and Seto said, “How about if we see what's television shall we.” Joey was soon asleep, and Seto shut off the television and just laid there holding onto Joey.

Tears filled Seto's eyes because he knew what Joey was about to go through and he prayed that Joey wouldn't give up.


At the Manor:

When they got back to the Manor, Greta walked over to Roland and asked, “How's Joseph doing?”

Roland smiled down at her and said, “As well as can be expected, soon he'll begin facing the demons that are plaguing his mind.”

Mokuba came downstairs, when he saw that Roland and the others were back he ran over, wrapped his arms around Roland, and looked up at the man who was more like a father to him and Seto and he asked, “Is Joey getting better?”

Roland smiled down at Mokie and said, “Joseph is beginning the first trek on his way to getting better, your brother is staying the night there.”

Mokie then said, “Is Joey going to come here to live with us?” Roland said, “Tomorrow Dr. Hunter is going to be releasing Joseph and yes, he's coming here to live.”

Greta then said, “I guess I'd better go get some lunch ready, I bet all of you are getting hungry.” Matthew's stomach growled and Daniel said, “The way Matt's stomach is growling, I hope that you make enough for all of us.”

That caused everyone to laugh and Matt looked at Daniel and he started chasing him, that made Greta say, “If you two are going to ruff house, do it outside I just got through cleaning this room up.”

At the Hospital:

The Nurse came in to check Joseph's vitals and when she came in and saw that both Seto and Joseph were asleep she smiled and walked over and said, “Sir, you'll have to move, I need to check Joseph's vitals.”

Seto blushed and then he got up and Shelly said, “Joseph, I've got to take your temperature.” Joey opened his eyes and looked around, when he saw Seto standing by the end of the bed, he settled down. Shelly took his temperature, his blood pressure.

Then she said, “Here's the menu for your dinner meal, could both you please fill out what you want, I'll be back later and take it to the cafeteria.”

After she left, Seto walked over and sat down next to Joey and he said, “Why were you so scared, didn't you think that I'd be here, I did promise that I'd stay, so please calm down I'm not leaving.”

Tears filled Joey's eyes and he looked down at his hands, then he said, “I'm sorry, but I've never had anyone care what happened to me in a very long time, it feels good.”

Seto smiled at him then he lowered his head and gently kissed Joey's lips. When he lifted his head, Joey touched his lips and then he said, “Why did you do that, and why would you want anyone like me, I'm not the kind of person anyone could ever want.”

Seto then lifted Joey's face and he said, “If you ever say that again, I'll kiss you again and again until you realize just how special you are to me.”

Then Seto kissed Joey again, as he was kissing him, Shelly opened the door, when she saw what was going on, she quietly closed the door, then she knocked and Seto sat up. Shelly came in and picked up the dinner menu and she said, “I'll be back with your dinners.”

At the Manor:

After dinner, Greta said, “I'll make sure that the room next to Seto's is ready for Joey.” Roland went over and he kissed her and said, “You're the best thing that ever happened to me, I love you.” She pretended to faint, Roland chuckled as she went to go upstairs.

Mokie was upstairs in his room when Greta walked towards the empty room, when she heard when she heard the sound of crying coming from Mokie's room. She knocked on the door, Mokie wiped his eyes and he opened the door.

Greta opened her arms and Mokie ran to her, she wrapped her arms around him and she asked, “Why the tears?”

Mokie looked up at her and he said, “What if Seto can't help Joey?” Greta smiled down at him and she said, “Your brother is staying the night there, Roland said that Joey was afraid to be alone, so that's why your brothers there.

We have to have faith that everything is going to work out and that Joseph will be alright.” Then Mokie kissed her and said, “Why did you come here?”

Greta said, “I'm getting the room next to Seto's for Joseph to use.” Mokie asked, “Can I help?” Greta smiled and said, “Well come on, lets get the room ready.”

At the Hospital:

After they had dinner, Seto and Joey laid on the bed and talked, soon Joseph then fell asleep. It didn't take long for Seto to fall asleep too.

When Shelly made her last rounds, she went to Joseph's room, when she went in and saw Seto curled around Joseph, she smiled because she knew that maybe now he would begin to get better.
