Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ A cry of pain, A kiss of happiness ❯ Prologe ( Prologue )

" YOU SNOT NOSE BRAT!", Tears ran down his semi- pale cheeks of his face, as he felt his father's shoe hit against his ribs. He almost felt the bones crack from each strike that his gave him.

"Dad, Please, Stop!" He choked out in pain, he moved his body in a crouching position on his side and he felt more blows on his right side of his body from his father.

The wasteland of an apartment was becoming darker as he consensus was fading.

His father crouched down at the boy's level.

The alcohol spatter all over his face along with spit, as his father yelled directly in his face and shaking his full of beer bottle in his hand.

"you worthless child!" he continued", Do you even realize what you are saying!? "

" Y-Yes..." He coughed out.

"Joey Joey Joey....No you don't. If you knew what you were saying, then you knew to tell me you fell in love with girl...NOT A BOY!" he slurred,stood, and looked down at the boy like a worthless mutt that he just found in the street. He Kicked the teenage boy in the face.

Blood smeared on his right shoe, he laughed drunkly as he watched his son wither in pain.

"Now now my boy...Don't cry, men don't cry! But of course your not a man, your a girl now since you love a boy!".

' Joey there just words...Don't worry Joey...' The blond youth comfort himself as darkness took him away form the real word as the words of his father were just noises fading into the distance of Joey's mind.

If he died, he wouldn't mind at this point,no he wouldn't. He would just miss the one he loved. The one who would never love him....Never.

He choked back tears again, even at deep sleep of darkness. He could still cry, because even in dreams he still felt pain deep inside his mind, the pain of hurt emotionally and physically.

----------------------------------------

Just several hours later Joey heard his father call out his name, ruining his wonderland of make believe in his own little world inside his mind.
Oh he could just feel those pair of sweet lips on his own as his dream was ending from such racket from his father.

"Get up boy, I'm leaving to get some beer ." He paused to look at the boy, who was just starting wake up to world .

"You better be gone when I come back...I don't want to see your nasty ass face when I get back!" With a grunt he opened the door and left the ' house hold ' .

Falling back onto the ' hard wood ' flooring , he bumped the back of his head." Oh...God why didn't let him kill me, why?" Tears ran down his face, he didn't deserve to live...

The thoughts swam past him,reality drifted a back from him as he laid there in middle of living room, no covers covered his battered body, no pillow to help support his head.

Just him and himself laid there, crying.
His body was stretched out, with his arms sprawled out equally on each side of his shoulders.
With his legs spread apart. There he laid in his own little pool of blood. Made by his father when he went unconsence, his father must of cut him on his side, leaving the blood to dry on the floor and the wound to scar his son's body.


The phone let it's 'music' of rolling it ' R's ',Joey raised his body off of the floor and walked over to a small table where the phone lay it's self comfortably still.He gentle picked it's head off of it's body. He gently let it rest on his ear.

"Hello?"

"Hey Joey! It's me Yugi!" Normally his hyper happy voice of cheerfulness wouldn't bother Joey, But today with his head hurting so much from yesterday's beatings. He couldn't but help groan in pain.

"Joey, are you okay?" Yugi asked in concern, Yugi knew about the beatings his father did to him

"Yea, Fine", He faked his perkiness, he didn't want Yugi to worry for him...

"you su--" The blond cut off the shorter youth "Yea, fine Yug"

"Hello Joey" Joey blinked once then returned the welcome ," Oh! Hey Yami, you scared me a bit.."

He nervously laughed, he was REALLY laughing at himself for being so dumb-founded over who welcomed him over the phone.

"Oh really? Scared?" Yami couldn't but help but laugh at his lover's best friend.

"Yea...Heh." He smiled, even though neither Yami or Yugi could see his grin.

"Well Joey, would you mind coming over today?" asked the pharaoh.

"Sure why not. Hey it's best if I do get out of this place anyways...." He faked a laugh.

"Joey....This isn't good how your father hurts you so, you need to tell someone." He suggested to the taller youth, but Joey didn't take it the right way.

"NO I CAN'T YAMI!" he shook all over at the thought "I wish I could Yami, but I can't, because I need him so I won't go to a foster home!"

He could here Yugi scold Yami over phone," Joey it's okay..." Said his best friend,Yugi.

He sniffed as he felt fresh tears form, feeling wave of salt semi- cold droplets cloud his chocolate eyes, then fall like a stream down his light tanned face.

" ' Men don't cry !' " The flash back of his father's words repeatedly came to mind. Making it hard for Joey to even let a tear fall down his face, even though he failed so many times trying to stop himself.

"Joey..." He snapped out of his reality to join where everyone else was, Hell. Hell that was the third dimension.
Hell that was Earth, Hell that everyone experience. Some survived, some died from trying. Some died because they gave up and kill themselves...

He almost gave up and became the group who sacrifice their lives to be in a better place, in another words, suicide.

"Uhhh....Yea Yug?" He blinked.

"We need to get off now,see you later!" He hung up, Leaving Joey in a state of confusion.

Slowly and gently, his hand let the head of the phone attach it's self back on it's body.

He walked into his room, finding any clothes that would appear in eyes sight.Gathering a blue and white striped shirt, and blue jeans, his personal favorite choice of clothing , He picked and pulled on his old and bloody shirt and pants off of his body, letting the new pair of clothes cover his burised,bloody,and scarre for life body.

He walked up to the door,opened it,and headed out into one of the hallways of the old appartments.

Something inside him told him to say where he was,but if he did, he would beaten again.Probly worse if hsi father was in a bad mood.
