Chapter Thirty-Six


When everyone went inside, Serenity found herself separated from the ones that she had just spent the last three months with and it scared the hell out of her.

Bakura saw the fear in her eyes and went over to stand beside her and he softly said, “You're alright now, you're with your brother and family.”

Roland heard what he said and he knew that Serenity would need time to get use to the idea of not being near them; so he walked over to Joseph and said. “You sister is terrified, she hasn't been without the ones that were with her in the house and now we expect her to be happy, well it's going to take time for her to be able to be separated from them.”

Joey knew the feeling, he still hated not to have Seto beside him, so he decided that just for now, and maybe Serenity should stay at the house until she could get use to being apart for the others. Joey walked over to Stacy and said, “We need to talk.”

When Joey was through telling her what Roland said, she knew that this might happen, she agreed that it would be better to make the break a little at a time.

Then Joey talked to Matthew, Daniel and James and they thought that it would be a good idea, now the only two left to talk with were Marik and Bakura.

Stacy walked over to where Bakura and Serenity were and she said to Serenity, “How about we go get something to drink.” She then motioned to Bakura that Joey wanted to talk.

Bakura then touched Marik on the arm and they both walked over to where Joey was and when he was done talking to them, they knew that he was making the right decision, and then Bakura said, “I think that you need to be there too, so that when we all leave she'll have you to depend on.”

Greta came back into the living room and said, “Come and get it.” They all went into the dining room, sat down and had a great time eating, talking and joking. Serenity was having a great time, she really loved being here with all these people, people who thought she was worth saving.

When they were done eating, and they all went back into the living room, Joey went over to Serenity and said, “Want to go walk through the garden with me?” She smiled and took his hand and they went outside.

As they walked, she never let go of his hand and when they got to the reflecting pool, she said, “I'm scared of being alone, Joey I don't want to ever be alone again.”

Joey put his arm around her and said, “I understand, so for awhile you'll be staying at the house with the others, just until you feel safe enough to want to come back to the main house to live.” She hugged him and in a little girls voice she asked, “You're not mad at me.”

Joey wanted to scream, that bitch of a mother really did a job on his sister, he then said, “Rene, I love you I could never be mad at you, in fact I'm going to coming to stay at the house with you.” Serenity wiped the tears from her face and she smiled at him and said, “You really do love having me here, don't you?”

Joey hugged and kissed her forehead and he said, “ Yes, I love you, you're my baby sister and I want you to be with me for the rest of our lives. We all love you, so until you're ready, we'll stay at the house together.”

While Joey and Serenity were outside in the garden, Roland walked over to tell Greta, when he was through, she was in tears. He put his arms around her and held her and then he softly said, “She's been through so much, we need to give her time to want to come be part of our family, so Joseph is going to help he do that.”

Seto overheard what they were saying and he walked over and said, “We need to give them time to bond and for her to know that no matter what we'll always be here for her.” Greta put her arms around him and said, “Alright, we'll do just that.”

Then Seto walked outside and went over to where Joey and his sister were and he said, “Dad talked to me about what's going on and I agree with him.” Serenity then looked at her brother and she asked, “What happened to you, where's dad?”

This hit Joey like a ton of bricks, he knew that eventually he'd have to tell her about this, but he didn't think it would be now. He took a deep breath and said, “Dad's dead.” Serenity then asked, “Why?”

Seto put his arm around Joey and he said, “Your father was abusing your brother.” She then said, “You mean like mom was doing to me?” Joey had tears running down his face when he said, “No, it was much worse, it started out with just mental abuse, then he started raping me, he'd laugh as he was doing that to me.”

Serenity put her arms around him and they fell to the ground and held onto each other as they cried for the innocence that was lost because of the people who was suppose to be protecting them. Then she looked up at Seto and she asked, “Were you abused too?”

Seto reached down to help them stand up and he said, “Yes I was, but nothing as bad as what happened to your brother.” Serenity then said, “And your family doesn't care, they still want him here to live with them.”

Seto then said, “My family has loved me no matter what, they never stopped loving me, and they love your and your brother and will always be there for you both, no questions asked.”

Serenity then wiped the tears from her face and she said, “When I'm ready to come back here, I'll be able to accept their love and understanding, but right now I'm terrified to be away from the ones who helped me get my life back.”

Seto then smiled at her and he said, “We all understand, when you're ready we'll be here with open arms to welcome you into our family.” Serenity then kissed Seto's cheek and she said, “Thank you.”

They all walked inside, Greta walked over, and she said, “How about if we all go out to get something for dessert?” Serenity smiled at her and she said, “I haven't had ice cream for a long time.” Roland then said, “Then lets go get some ice cream.”

Then they all went outside got into the Hummers and drove to the Ice Cream Shop and they all got some ice cream, when they were all through, Roland said, “It's getting late, let’s go.” Then they drove back to the safe house.

When they got there, Seto, Joey, Serenity and the others got out, the others went back inside as Seto said good-bye to Joey and Serenity. He gave them both a hug and kissed her cheek and when she walked inside, Seto took Joey into his arms and kissed him and said, “I'll be back in the morning.”

Joey held Seto in his arms and said, “Thanks for understanding; she really needs to feel safe before she can come stay at the house with us.” Seto smiled at him and said, “When she's ready, we'll be there. Good night and I'll see you in the morning.”

Seto got back into the Hummer and they drove back to the Manor. As they went inside, Greta put her arm around Seto and said, “She'll get better, she has the very people who will help her.” She kissed his cheek and he walked upstairs and went to his room.

Mokie ran up the stairs behind Seto and he said, “Don't worry, with Joey there, his sister will get better.” Seto smiled down at his brother and he said, “Thanks, for being my brother, I love you.” Then he kissed him and they went to their rooms and went to bed.

At the safe house:

When they all got inside, Serenity walked over and looked out the window, she had tears in her eyes, Joey walked over and put his arm around her and he said, “Just remember that when you feel safe, we'll be going back and living with them, but not until you feel safe.”

She turned and looked at him and she asked, “Were you scared.” Joey said, “I was terriried, I didn't think that anyone would ever want me, I had been abused so badly that I felt worthless, but it was Seto and Mokuba's love and understanding that gave me the courage to leave the hospital that I was in and go live with who now are my family.

Soon they will be your family too, but only when you feel safe to leave here and go live at the Manor. No one will ever condemn you; they will only give you their love, strength and understanding.”

Then hand in hand they walked over and sat down on the couch and started talking to the others, they talked until everyone was sleepy, then everyone went to bed.

As he closed his eyes, Seto said a prayer, “Dear God, its me Seto again, please help Serenity to get over what her mother did to her, we love her and want her to become part of our family, but she can't until she gets over the fear of being alone. Please help her like you helped Joey and me when we asked. Amen.”
