At Joey's place
We made it to Joey's place, and went inside. We sat down on the couch and I looked at him. "Now, what's bothering ya kid?" He asked. I sighed. "Well...my boyfriend and I have a child named Anna. One day, she started crying for no reason and I tried to comfort her but...it didn't work. It went on for weeks until her father said he was taking the week off to help. She started crying when she saw me, so I moved out to the living room and she stopped crying. When she would see her father, her face lit up. When she saw me, her face filled with fear...she was afraid of me." I explain, trying to keep my voice from breaking. His face was in shock. "I....I don't....oh ra...I'm so sorry that's happenin' to you" He said rubbing my back. "It's ok...I just hope my father won't try to kill me when he finds out I'm here.." I gulp. "He knows you're here, I told him what happened when I found you and he was a bit mad, but he understands what you're goin through. He said you can stay here until they figure out why Anna is afraid of ya." He told me softly. "Everything will be ok, I promise." I nod and wipe away any tears that formed.
A little bit later, Joey started cooking dinner and his friends had came over to visit. "So you're Kaiba's daughter?" A tri-colored hair man named Yugi asked me. "Yes, he is. I get that you guys aren't on the best terms with him but...he's going through a lot. He has a family to take care of and a company to run. He's under a lot of stress, if he get angry or deny that you're his friends, it's his stress talking." I explain to them. "I hate to say it but I feel bad for the guy." The pointed brown haired guy called Tristan said with a bit of a frown. "We all do. I wish we could help him." Joey sighed. "Knowing him, that's impossible." I look at him. "Actually, he really needs it. Mokuba has been doing the best he can but it's not enough." I said to them. "Food's ready!" Joey shouted. Everyone rushed to go get some, well everyone except me. I wasn't very hungry. "Joey, can you show me to the spare bedroom? I'm not really hungry, but I'm really tired." I said and he nodded taking me to the bedroom. "If you need anythin, I'm right next door. It's always open." He said. I nodded. "Thank you, for everything." I whisper laying on the bed and falling asleep. "You're welcome Hope, sweet dreams." he smiled and leaves the room.
