Chapter Two: Joey's Pain

 

Joey ran up to the stairs of the apartment she shared with her father. She was hoping he was in a good mood and wasn't to drunk.

*Please let my father be in a good mood, please god let him be in a good mood,* Joey prayed in her mind as she put the key in the door. She turned the key unlocking the door and carefully walked inside. Just as she walked threw the door she spotted a brown bottle coming her was and ducked just in time to avoided being hit by the bottle. She looked up in the direction the bottle came from and saw her father, who was in a drunken rage. She stumbled trying to put more room between then as her father came walking towards her.

“Goddamn son you're late again,” slurred her father, “What were you with your friends again.”

“Y…yes I'm sorry we…I lost track of time, I'm sorry,” Joey nodded her head slightly while she stuttered out the answer. Her father moved slowly closer causing Joey to keep moving back until she was up ageist the wall and her father right in front of her. Her father raised his hand and punched Joey repeatedly on the face, chest, and stomach. Joey cried out in pain with every blow but then screamed when her father grabbed her then threw her into the wall. She hit it on her left side, her arm taking the full force of the blow and the sound of her arm breaking echoed threw the room. Her father wasn't threw yet though, he walked up to Joey then picked her up again and threw her onto the hard table. The table broke under the force as did Joey's ankle making her cry in pain again.

Her father hovered over her until he was satisfied that she had learned her lesson since she was bleeding baldy and couldn't move. As soon as she was sure her father was gone Joey painfully moved to the phone and called Tristan.

“T…Tris I need help…..p…please c…come and get me and t..take me to the h…hospital,” stammered Joey.

“I'll be right there Joey,” Tristan said quickly before hanging the phone up. Joey hung the phone up and fell onto the ground, passing out. Tristan ran into the house to find Joey still on the floor. He carefully picked her up and walked out of the apartment, then putting Joey into the back seat of his car. He speed to the hospital and then ran into the waiting room yelling for help.

The hospital took Joey to surgery while Tristan was in the waiting room. He looked up when he saw someone stop in front of him and saw it was a doctor.

“Is h…she ok?” asked Tristan knowing that Joey was signed in as Josephine.

“Her left arm and right ankle is broke and as was her lower right leg, both are in cast,” said the Doctor, “Also she was stitches on her right cheek and above her left eye.”

“But she is going to make it?” asked Tristan.

“Of course and you can see her now,” said the Doctor. Tristan nodded his head and walked into Joey's room to see her hooked up to an iv as well as a heart monitor. He sat down next to the bed and rubbed the upper part of Joey's left arm. It was alittle weird to see Joey in a hospital gown since it made it obvious she was really a girl.

“I'm sorry Joey, I let you down again I swore I wouldn't let that ass hurt you and he did,” said Tristan to her even if she was still sleeping. Tristan then laid his head on the bed and fell asleep.

While that was happening the nurse that had left the two walked to the nursing station, Joey's medical information in her hands. She placed the information on the counter and started dialing the number of Joey's guardian. She looked up to see her supervisor walk up and look at her.

“Just calling Miss Wheeler's guardian,” the nurse said, “It says to call him before her father.” The supervisor nodded her head before going back to her rounds while leaving the nurse to dial the number.

The nurse finished dialing and waited for Joey's guardian to answer the phone. “Hello Maximilian Pegasus of Industrial Illusions speaking,” answered Pegasus on the other end.

“Um Mr. Pegasus this is Nurse Rev from Domino hospital I'm calling to tell you that Josephine Wheeler has had an accident and will be hospitalized for about a week,” said Rev. “Why?” asked Pegasus in a rush, “What happened.”

“We don't know her friend said he didn't know and she is still unconscious,” said Rev.

“I'll be there in a couple hours,” said Pegasus before hanging the phone up. Rev wrote something down then put the information back in Joey's room, not bothering to tell Tristan that visiting hours were over because she could tell he wouldn't leave his friend's side until she woke.

As this was going on Pegasus was at his house on Duelist Kingdom getting around to leave for Domino city.

“Sir what is wrong?” asked Kaito.

“My god daughter is hurt and I'm going to Domino to see how badly and to see who hurt her,” said Pegasus as he got to his helicopter. As Kaito flew the two to Domino city Pegasus was lost in thought, wondering if Joey's father had gone on another drunken rampage and hurt her again. Pegasus gripped his knee secretly wishing he was already their with her.
