Marik: well then, darknesssavior does not own yugioh, Joey's house, the school there going to.. ummm anything else I'm forgetting?

Darknesssavior: all I own is alex, now on with the story

Joey's pov: the next thing I knew I was waking up in my bed I had a bandana tied around my head and when I felt the back of it it was wet. When I brought my hand back it was full of blood. I went to jump up out of bed but quickly laid back down. I felt dizzy again. Then my dad came in my room talking on the phone. For the first time in years I was seeing him sober. He was talking to the school saying I'd be out sick. Sick? I don't remember being sick maybe that's what was wrong, memory loss. Then I stopped, this isn't memory loss! He did this to me! I tried to jump up again but my dad stopped me. Laying me back down carefully. What was up with him? Was this what he was really like? I just didn't know. About 4 o'clock that afternoon I realized I had to go to work or I'd be fired for sure. My dad was drunk by now so I couldn't have him call in. I realized I should just call. When I called in they said it was no excuse and I should have called in this morning to say that I was sick. I tried to explain why I wasn't there but they thought I was lying and told me I was fired unless I showed up in the next 5 min. I knew that wouldn't happen so I layed there and tried to think of another job I could work.

"no one in this industry understands the life I lead and when I sing about my past its not a gimmick not an act"

Alex's pov: me and Tris where on our way to Joey's not having any idea what we'd find out. When we finally got there I couldn't get myself to knock. So I had Tristan do it. we waited and no one came. I knew someone had to be home so I knocked harder. The door swung open and there stood Mr. Wheeler. His eyes were all red and he definitely didn't look sober. " what do you want?" he snapped at us. I told him we just wanted to bring Joey's homework up to him and he told us to be quick. We ran in the house shot up the stairs and found Joey's room. When we walked in he was sitting up and there was blood on his pillow and his head. I looked over and saw he was holding a razor blade in his hand and staring at his wrist. I ran over and snatched the razor out of his hand and started yelling at him. Asking him what he thought he was doing and then I saw it. there was blood dripping down his wrist. It didn't look horribly deep but it was bleeding a lot. Suddenly Joey passed out.

Tristan's pov: I ran down the stairs when Joey passed out. Drunk or not his dad had to be told. But when I told him I didn't get the reaction I expected. He didn't even seem to care. He said joey would probably be fine. I fleew back up the stairs asking Alex what we should do. When I suggested we call 911 she immediately said no. she was right if an ambulance came her it would just be all bad. That meant…."there's no way I'm giving him mouth to mouth recitation!" Alex told me I had to but I told her she should, I didn't even know how. Alex immediately went to work, before I knew it Joey was waking up. we helped him up and cleaned the blood off his wrist. I got him a couple Band-Aids and Alex found a clean bandana to tie around his head. We didn't say a word the whole time. None of us could think of anything to say. As we walked out Joey told us to stop. He said thank you and we of course told him he was welcome and walked out.

Joey's pov: the next day I got up ready to go to school. I still felt like crap but I'd rather be at school then with my dad again. When I got to school people just kept staring at me. I wasn't surprised. I couldn't imagine what was going through their heads seeing me all dressed in black with a bunch of blood in my hair and a cut across my wrist. I couldn't even take a good shower to get the blood out of my hair, the showerhead was broken. So all I was able to do was stick my head in the sink with the smelly stink water and hope most of the blood came out. Then some kid walked up to me and just stood in front of me. I asked him what he wanted and he just kept staring. So as I went to walk away he spoke " you think you're punk don't you?" what? I asked. " You think your punk with your black clothes and the fake blood in your hair? The cut you probably got when you fell down….poser" I just stood there I didn't say a word. I wasn't going to get in a fight in school. I'd talk to him after school; see how tuff he was then. During the day a bunch of cliques of people came up to me. Some saying stuff about being an imitation punk, some just saying I looked like crap. I just decided not to talk all day. On top of it all alex and tristan seemed to be avoiding me. I don't think they knew what to say. Walking home from school I passed a couple of the kids who had called me an imitation punk but none of them said a word.

"these critics and these trust fund kids try to tell me what punk is but when I see them on the street they got nothing to say"

Tristan's pov: I didn't talk to Joey and I felt really bad for doing it. Its just I couldn't think of anything I could possibly say. I mean knowing what he was going through and having no way of helping him…it was hard. I was walking home and realized something, Joey's father obviously didn't care about him and he let Joey just go off on his own maybe.. I ran home and shot in the door. I quickly explained everything to my mom and asker her a difficult question.

Serenity's pov: now that I was older I decided it was time to know more. I walked up to my mom randomly and told her I wanted to go see Joey and my dad. You know what she said? She said no. she said it wasn't safe going there and that Joey would be a bad influence on me. I didn't understand, I thought she said they were happy. She wouldn't even give me the town they were in or phone number.

Joey's pov: Tristan suddenly ran up to me when I was on my way to Jewel to ask for a job. He started babbling at me saying that he told his mom about everything that happened. When he first said that I almost got mad but he told me to let him finish. He said that his parents were…were willing to let me live with them for a while and that they would take care of me. He told me to at least think about it. I nodded, that would be a lot of change but it was better then living like this forever.

" and if I make it though today will tomorrow be the same or am I just running in place."

Tristan's pov: I'd done what I could, I just hoped Joey would think about it. I'm sure it would be weird for him at first. Its just he needed to get out of there. I called Alex when I got back home and told her what was going on. She thought it was a great idia.
