Okay this is the last chapter……..it will probably be long but idk. You know I feel like the end of this story is turning out to be a big, big failure. I've never actually finished a story b4 so idk how to end one.

……………………………..

Joey pulled up to his mom's house, he felt extremely nervous. He hadn't been thinking about this too much he'd been much to distracted by a certain Blonde.

"You know Mai I think I'd rather do this on my own."

"Yeah? Well I understand I'll just go to one of the stores around the corner."

Joey Shook his head and she gave him a kiss on the cheek and gave left the car and begun to walk down the road. After a few steps she turned around and saw Joey walking up to his moms door. 'Good luck Hun.'

VvVvVvVv

Joey walked up to Serenity's house, Joey always wanted his mom to notice him, and now would be when he would find out if she ever would. He knew things might not be perfect if things did work out but at least he'd have a mom.

Joey took a deep breath and then knocked on the door.

'Please be in a good mood.'

Serenity opened the door and looked at her brother then smiled big.

"I was wondering if you'd come back I thought you'd be mad with me, you know, after my lying."

"Of course not is mom home?"

"No, but she will be in a min. come in and wait for her."

Joey walked in and looked around the house they were definitely better off them him and his dad were. For a second he was sad, but then felt grateful the his sister had a better surrounding.

"I'll make you a sandwich, peanut butter and Jelly right?"

"Yeah."

Joey sat down on the couch it was real comfy. He suddenly missed his friends. There support would have been real helpful at the moment. But he knew they were there for him no matter what. He kept thinking about so many different things.

Joey's mom walked through the door Shocked to see her son on her couch.

"Joseph I just got home I'm not in the mood for this, I've been working all day and I can't take it. Please leave."

"Ma I want to settler this once and for all. Please just talk to me."

"I have nothing to say to you Joseph."

"I love you, you're my mom and I want you to be a part of my life you already missed the big part, you know where I grow up. But there are still other things like my graduation, my wedding, and my first kid. Your gonna be there for Serenity why won't you be there for me?"

"Joseph not now, not ever, leave."

"Ma?"

Serenity stood in the kitchen listening she became so nervous why wouldn't her mom listen to him. Why does she have to be like that? She took a big bite out of the sandwich she made for Joey. She always ate when she got nervous. Serenity was getting angry why did her mom have to push him away. She was suddenly drowned in anger so she screamed.

"Mommy why can't you can't just listen to him?"

Suddenly Joey and his mother stop arguing.

"Okay I'll listen get on with it."

'Of Course do it for her.'

"Well…"

"Mom I don't know why you got to be the way you are? I'm not like my dad, I swear it. I just want you to be in my life because my dad isn't. I thank god everyday that I at least have my sister."

"Joseph when I left your dad he hadn't gotten to serenity, but he'd got to you. You were always in fights, not going to school, getting bad grades, you were just like your dad when he was little, and I didn't want to watch you turn into him."

"So you took my sis and ran away. She was innocent, you weren't."

"Did you ever think that maybe if you took me with me I coulda changed? Get me away from him and take me to a better environment to save me I was nine, c'mon."

"I didn't think you would change."

"Ma? I'm not like him."

"There I listened and I haven't changed my mind now leave."

Joey stared at her he could she was upset; he knew she was wrong, but it didn't matter. Serenity was still in the kitchen she listened to the whole thing and was in tears. She could see her brother wanted to. She ran to him and gave him a big hug.

"No matter what Joey I'll always be there for you whether she wants me to or not."

"Thanks I knew you would be."

"Even if you don't want me to be around I will be because I love my sister."

"I'm sorry Joey that it has to be this way."

Joey saw his mom reach for the phone.

"It's not your fault, I'll call you later, I got to go before mom calls the cops."

Joey jumped in Mai's car. He felt so dumb he knew it was pointless to try but he wanted her to love him so much. He let himself cry, no one could see anyways. Except Mai who decided that she didn't want to shop so she laid down in the back of the car.

"I guess things didn't go the way you wanted?"

Joey jumped then looked at Mai.

"I'm sorry I scared you."

"I'll tell you what happened when we get to your apartment.

……………………………

…………………..Epilogue thingy……….………….

Joey went back to domino two days later, things didn't change too much there. They went on as they always had. Joey continued high school and graduated. Him and Mai have a long distant relationship. They visit each other every other weekend until Mai decided she'd buy an apartment in domino. Which was pretty much useless because she always at Joey's house.

Joey, Tristan, and Yugi are all going to college together and Joey's keeping his grades up rather well.

Mai and Joey were dating two years before they decided to get married, There planning on buying a house and starting a family.

The End…….

Okay I guess that wasn't that bad. Kinda sad maybe but yeah. I've been going back and fourth on whether or not I should so a sequel and while writing this I decided to do it. I got some ideas. So I'm going to focus on my other story for a while and then start it and I have a one-shot coming out.
