Chapter Twenty-Two


Mokuba got up to get something to drink, as he passed Joey's room, he heard Joey's screams, when he opened the door to see what was going on, Mokie saw his brother holding Joey, he was trying to comfort him.

When Seto looked at the door, he saw Mokie, then he motioned for Mokie to come over, when Mokuba climbed onto the bed, they both wrapped their arms around Joey and Seto softly whispered, “It’s alright now, we’re here.”

Joey's face was wet from the tears and when he looked over and saw Mokuba sitting there beside Seto, at first, he was embarrassed that Mokie had to see him like this, but Mokie said, “I was there for my brother, now I'm here for you.”

Joey wiped his face and in a small voice he said, “Thank you for wanting to help me.” Mokie then said, “You're part of this family and family to me is the most important thing in the world, we all stick together.”

Then both Seto and Mokie held Joey in their arms and he finally went to sleep, Seto looked at his brother and said, “I love you.” Mokie smiled and said, “I love you too big brother.”

As they lay there watching Joey sleep, Mokie looked at his brother and said, “I prayed for Joey to get better, and you know what, I really felt like someone heard me. I know that he will get better, but until then I'll be here to help you, we're all brothers now.”

Seto then reached out and touched the side of Mokie's face and he said, “I'll never forget what you did for me and I know that Joey's feels the same about what I know you'll do for him.” Then he and Mokie closed their eyes and went to sleep.

The next morning, Greta went to check to see how Joseph was, and when she opened the door, she smiled as she saw Seto, Joey and Mokie in bed, Joseph must have had a nightmare and both Seto and Mokie was there to comfort him.

When Greta closed the door, Joseph woke up and he looked at both Seto and Mokie who were lying beside him. Had they stayed here all night? He moved slightly and Seto woke up and said, “Good morning.” Then he sat up, touched Mokie on the arm, and said, “Will you please go see if Greta has breakfast ready.”

When Mokie left, Seto looked at Joey and he said, “Listen don't be embarrassed, when I first came home, I too had nightmares, and it was Mokie who came and slept beside me, it was the only time I got a good nights sleep.”

Joey smiled up at him and then he asked, “Where's my father?” Seto knew that eventually Joey would ask him. Seto then said, “Matthew shot your father, he had just gotten through raping you and he was about to hit you with a wrench, but that's when the bullet from Matthew's gun stopped him.”

Tears ran down Joey's face and at first Seto thought it was because his father was dead, then Joey said, “ I'm not crying because he's dead, that bastard deserved to die, I'm crying because I owe so many people for saving my life, how will I ever be able to repay them?”

There was a knock on the door and Seto went and opened it and there stood Roland, Seto let him in and when Roland walked over to the bed he asked Joseph, “How are you this morning?”

Joseph wiped the tears from his face and he said, “I'm just getting use to people caring what happens to me, for the longest time I was alone, it's going to take time to get use to all of you giving a damn about how I feel.”

Roland smiled at them and then he said, “You'll soon find out that we are a very different kind of family, there are people here who have done things that they aren't proud of.

Then there are those who just need to find someplace to fit in, and its here that they all can be themselves, and no one asks questions.”

Mokie came back into the room and said, “Greta said to come downstairs, and breakfast is ready.” Roland then said, “Seto get Joseph his crutches and let’s go, if I know Greta she'll give our breakfast to the others if we're late.”

Between Seto and Roland, Joseph was able to walk down the stairs using his crutches and when they got to the kitchen, the others were already there. Greta said, “Come on sit down, this food is getting cold.”

After breakfast, Paul came to talk to Joseph. As they went into the den, Paul closed the door and he asked, “How was your night?”

Joseph told him, “I asked Seto if he still had nightmares and he told me not any more, then when it started getting dark, I got scared. I asked Seto if he'd stay with me just until I fell asleep.”

Paul then asked, “Did he?” Joseph then said, “Yes he did. Sometime during the night, I had a horrible nightmare, I was terrified, but Seto was there and it was his talking to me helped me through it.


What I didn't know at the time, his brother Mokie came into my room, he was beside his brother the whole time, when I opened my eyes and saw that Mokuba was there, it kind or embarrassed me.”

Paul then asked, “What happened then?” Joseph said, “Mokuba said that he had been there for his brother, and now he was going to be there for me too.”

Paul then asked, “What happened then?” Mokuba went to see if Greta had breakfast ready and I asked Seto about my father.” Paul then said, “What did he tell you?”

Joseph said, “He told me that my father was dead, that when he was raping me, he grabbed a wrench and was going to hit me with it and that the bullet from Matthew's gun killed him.”

Paul then asked him, “What did you say when Seto told you that your dad was dead?” Joseph told him, “I said that I didn't now how I'd ever repay everyone for what they did for me.”

Paul then said again, “What really happened when you found out that your dad was dead?” Joseph then said, “I'm glad that the bastard is dead, because now maybe I could heal and I'd be able to be a young man again, someone that people could love.”

Paul then said, “That's enough for now, Joseph I want you to start writing down everytime you have a nightmare, and your feelings about them, then when I come again maybe you can express your feelings about everything that has happened to you.”

Joseph took the journal that Paul gave him and he said, “I don't know if I can do it.” Then Paul said, “At least give it a chance, it'll help you heal if you can write down your feelings.”


Joseph asked, “Will the dreams ever go away?”

Paul said, “Eventually they will, but until they do you'll have to try to understand that they are only dreams and that they won't hurt you.”

Joseph got up and walked over to Paul and he gave him a hug, “Thank you for what you've done to help me. If it weren't for you I know that I'd be completely insane and locked up in some institution, instead I'm here living in this home with people who love me and who I love.”

Paul then told him, “I'll be in Domino for another two weeks; I still want us to talk every other day until I have to leave in case you have any questions.”

Joseph then said, “Alright and as I said before, thanks again.” Paul then asked, “When will the cast come off your leg?” Joseph told him, “I've got to go back and see Dr. Hunter next week; he'll take the cast off and take another X-ray to see how it's healing. Then he can tell me if I've got to have another one put on or if my leg is healing enough not to.”

They walked back to the living room and Paul said, “I'll be here for another two weeks, in that time I told Joseph that I'd like to talk to him a couple more times.”

Greta then asked him, “Can you stay for dinner?” Paul chuckled as he asked her, “What are you cooking?” She laughed and said, “Don't worry, I won't put anything in it, I promise.”

Paul then said, “I'd love to have dinner, I'll be back around six, first I've got to make a few phone calls.” Then he left and Mokie said, “Who wants to play some Video games?”

Matthew, Daniel, and James said, “We do.” So they went with Mokie into the family room to play video games, Joey asked Seto, “Can you help me upstairs, I'd like to get some rest, my leg is bothering me.” So with Seto's help they went to Joey's room.

When they got to Joey's room, and Seto helped him over to the bed, Joey said, “Remember when we talked about when I knew that I was ready that I'd let you know just how much you mean to me.

Well I want you to know that it's your love that's made me realize that hey, I'm worth someone loving me.”
