[KneelingAngel and Gilmore ] A Long Road Home

[KneelingAngel]

"Hey, it's okay, Darlin." Clay says and hugs her close. He grabbed her hand with the engagement run and held it up for both of them to see. "I wouldn't have give you this if I wanted to leave you. I'll marry you, with baggage and all. I'll stay with you as long as you'll have me." He kissed her hand and then her lips. "And you're no brat." He told her. "You are the most perfect girl I know and you're all mine."


"Fine, thank you for asking." Justice said with a bit of a forced smile. She wasn't completely fine though. She wanted to know what James wasn't aloud to tell her. So much for having a boyfriend to share everything with. "I'm just not very hungry any more." She told the butler and got up before heading towards the gaming room to clear her mind by killing zombies at 9 am.

Effie looked at him and sighed. "That is true.Thank you babe."Effie said. He always made her feel better. Yeah she still had nightmares about her family they were worse whwn Justice was in the house now they were getting better. Effie sighed and stayed curled into Clay. She closed her eye's and Yawned. " I am so tired, but we have so much to do."She says. She sat up gently and put the covers over her gently.


James woke with a groan.He sighed and got up. He stumbled into his room and went to lay on his bed to go back to sleep. His phone went off. He groaned and pulled out his phone. "Yes?" He snaps." Yeah yeah I am coming." He says he goes and showered. He grabbed New clothes and grabbed his keys. He went down and sighed." Tell Justice if she cares I went out." He says

Clay chuckles and pulls Effie flushed against him and kissed her head. "Just sleep, the others can take care of everything." He whispered and closed his eyes as well, just enjoy the presence of Effie next to him. There was no one else that made him feel the luckiest man alive.


Justice sighed and was about to head to her office when she noticed James leave. "Where are you going?" She asked. "There's nothing special on your schedule today." She told him. As manager she knew the bands schedules out of her head. She usually planned everything and made sure that everybody got there on time and safe. But James leaving at this time in the morning was NOT in his schedule.. She didn't like it.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Effie happily layed in his arms. She fell asleep in his grip. She was so tired and out of it. Hours into her sleep she seemed to cringe and whimper. Yeah she normally slept well in his hands, but she had been so stressed out. She was just worried its what caused the nightmares.


James grabbed the door handle and sighed. He was hung over and annoyed" out to see a friend." He says. His eye's covered the lights bugging him." What about you what are you doing up?"He asks. James was impatient and wanted to go.

"It's 9 am, I don't sleep in like you guys do, and since when do you plan things this "early" in the morning." Justice questioned with a slight frown on her face. "Who is this friend?" She asked and noticed that James was hung over. "Did you drink yourself to sleep again last night?"


Clay shushes Effie and softly hums Effie's favorite song , hoping to get her to calm down in her sleep. "'s okay, babe." He whispers through the song.

" look I have to go. I got a call and I got to go. Just a friend. Will talk later.and yeah maybe I did drink till I passed out."He says. He grabbed the door handle and opened the door.


Effie sighed in her sleep. As she clung to Clay. She sighed she wasn't fully awake, but awake enough. "Babe?" She asks gently.

"Just a friend, as if I've never heard that one before." Justice said with a low growl. "Fine, do as you want." She brushed past James and headed into her office. "It's not like I care what you do in the first place.. Say hello to that "friend" of yours." She said and slammed the door to her office shut.


"Hmmm?" Clay questioned, combing his fingers through Effie's hair. He was actually really comfortable where he was. "What is it darlin?" He asked, opening his eyes to see her beautiful face.

James sighed and slammed the door. He dropped his phone and didn't realize it. He went to his car and drove to a small cafe. A girl ran to his arms crying. He sighed and sat her down." What happened? What she do?"He asks.the girl cried and shook her head." James it wasn't mom this time it was dad. He is getting worse." The girl says.James sighed. "Keeley it is okay, everything will be all right. He hugged her.She looks at him." What about your girlfriend she know your out with her sister? "She asks wiping her eye's. "Yeah no I said you were friend no one knows about my family. Even the band well you know Clay thats about it."He says and leans back. She shakes her head." You need to tell them especially her."She says.James just laughed and groaned "this is god early. Lets go back to the house, you can stay for a bit, I need sleep." James says. " your hung over aren't you.?" She asks. He nods and put his jacket over shoulder. " leave it Keeley lets go." He said leading her to the car.


She slowly opened her eye's and looked up at him." Thank you. I love you very much."She says she wrapped her arms around his neck.

Clay's smile couldn't have been brighter as he hugged the girl back. This was the Effie he knew. "I love you too." He said into her hair. "Just do me a favor and say I Do at the alter." He joked. "I don't want to go looking for you first." He teased and kissed her nose. "I love you so much that not even death can tear me from you. There is nothing you will ever be able to do or say that will make me leave you."


Justice was sitting in her plushy office chair, looking at the wall she had pinned everything of the wedding. Sketches, dresses, suits, colors, flowers, cakes, even napkin origami was on the wall, but Justice couldn't get herself to work. James was bugging her. He drank himself to sleep... Again. She had a feeling that he started doing that more and more, but what was the story behind it? Didn't he know how dangerous it was?!


Justice sighed and bit her nails. What was he hiding from her? Another girl? Yesterday he told her that he loved her, was that all a lie? Was she getting toyed around with again? Had she just been some replacement for another girl?


Tears appeared in her eyes and some rolled down her face. She didn't know what to think anymore.

Effie sighed and laughed. " mmm my man. Your amazing and so sweet. I love you more then life and trust even death do us part can't separate me from you love."Effie nuzzels into him. And wrapped around him.


James pulls up and sighed. " come on Keeley, lets get you something to eat, can't let my sister starve."he teased. She hit him."oh shut up James you know I won't be staying long." He laughed and sighed letting her inside." So where is Clay what is he up to?" Keeley asked.James sighed. " first off thats my best friend secondly dudes getting married leave him Alone Keeley he loves Effie and Effie loves him. Plus your my sister thats a bit weird. Especially from what you told me about you two."James says as they walk down the hall for the kitchen.

Justice walked out of her office to go and get something to drink, but then she noticed a dark haired girl besides James. Biting her lip to stay silent, Justice left without them seeing her and headed back into the office, locking the door as silent tears fell. How dare he to bring another girl into the house when she was RIGHT THERE?! The guts on this guy!


"Now I have to make up something new for my vow." Clay mumbled teasingly. "Should we go get breakfast, darlin? You know, before they start to think we become the new Luke and Char?" His stomach growled and laughed. "How about you make me those delicious pancakes of yours?" He asked and kissed her head. He could use some American pancakes, and Effie's were the best!

Effie smiles and kissed down to his shoulder. "Fine love. She grabs his shirt and boxer's and goes for the door.Effie walked down to the kitchen and spotted James."umm James what the hell?"She asks. James looked up. " ahhh Effie meet my sister Keeley. Keeley this is Effie. "James says. He looked at Effie "nice look." He says. Effie nods to him and hits him" yeah yeah shush. And Nice to meet you Keeley. May I ask how long you will be staying. "Effie asked. James had seen Justice and goes up to go after her." Babe open the door. Its not what it looks like that is my sister I brought her here. She is the one who called me this morning. Ask Clay he is the only one who knows about her. He also screwed her a bit ago."James says.

Justice unlocks the door and pulls it open, het angry tearing eyes glaring at me. "Oh so your sister was the "just a friend"?" She asked angrily. "What? You can't tell me that?! You think I wouldn't have understood or anything?!" She walked out with crushes, having had the pain shoot through her leg again. "What made you think that you couldn't tell me that?! You know all of me and I don't know that you have a sister?!" She felt hurt bad, real bad. Justice walked to the game room, not caring for James's excuse. "I'm going to be killing zombies and pretend that they are you!" She shouted to James. "If you value your life, you leave me the hell alone!"


Clay walked down the stairs, having seen everything. "You brought you sister?" He questioned. Why of all people did he have to bring her?

James sighed and went after Justice. " I haven't told anyone but clay and I didn't tell you because I knew you were mad and I was too."he says." Look you were pissed off last night and ticked me off. I drank slept on the pourch and stumbled to my bedroom just as my sister called. I have a hang over wasn't thinking straight. " he sighed. " fine dont believe me but go ask her your self your mad for no reason. "He says. He walked to his room ignoring Clay.


Effie looked up when Clay walked down. Effie looked at him when the girl turned. "Hey Clay." Keeley said smiling. Effie stood and went to walk past Clay. Keeley gave Clay an innocent look.

Clay growled. He didn't like this girl. For once he was happy that Justice, maybe she could chase the girl out of the house. "Don't do anything stupid." He told the girl and followed after Effie. "So... No pancakes?" He asked and kissed her cheek. "Maybe you should go talk to you sister, darlin'." He said. "She's really upset for some reason... And I think she's going to kill Keeley." Not that he minded the last part.


Justice was angry. Really angry. Why had James forgotten to tell her the tiny detail of having a sister? They had now officially been together for half a year, damn it! Justice noticed that she was still in James's shirt from yesterday and growled. Now she had to get changed. She pulled the door open and left to go change, but the she saw James's little sister standing on the stairs.

Effie looked at him her eye's were stinging with tears. "Were you ever with her and why didn't you tell me if you were?" Effie asked. She looked up at him.


Keeley spotted her" Hi just wait a minute okay.I asked my brother to keep me a secret. I didn't want any one knowing. His life sucked in my house with our parents.I gave him a new start.I covered for him when he ran."She says.


James was in his room. He had grabbed vodka and was drinking to help go back to sleep.

"What?" Clay asked. "I've never been with her. It's always been you." He said and grabbed hold of her arm, stopping her. "She's just a little girl with a crush. I've never been with her, I swear." He said, hoping that she believed him. They just fixed the last fear, they didn't need a new one.


Justice stopped and turned around to glare at Keeley. "I don't care if he wanted to keep you a secret. He could at least have told me." She snarled. "Now thank you for your explanation, but no thanks. I don't care if you're James's sister, I don't like you." Justice said and continued to crawl up the stairs with crutches. "I'll go get your brother so he can drive you home before I call the dogs." She growled and head to James's room. "Could you please be so kind to get your sister the hell out of here-? What the hell are you doing?" She questioned and pulled the bottle from his lips. "Are you trying to drink yourself into a coma?!" Justice asked worriedly and angry at the same time. "It's not even noon yet!"

James looked up. He looked at the clock he shrugged "hello and a coma no.sleep yes." He said and rolled to his side."sleep." He muttered.

"James, stop it, pull yourself together!" Justice ordered and slapped him in the face, trying to make him focus. "What the hell is wrong with you?" She pulled him back into a sitting position. "You brought your sister here and you start drinking?! You're supposed to be a role model for her... What's going on in your head?" She asked and cupped his face, making him look at her.


"Come on, darlin." Clay said and hugged Effie closer. How about we go do something fun today? Let's go do something crazy." He suggested. "All of us, we've been in the house for too long, we could all use some fresh air."

Effie nods to Clay"yes please my love."She pulled her self closer to him. She wrapped her self around him tightly. Effie sighed it had been a long day and it was only 10:00.


Janes tryed to focus and shook his head."Justice let me sleep amd stop slapping me." He mumbled. Keeley walked over."he only drinks this much when is mad, depressed, or something has been happening at home."Keeley said."ots okay I can take a cab."She says

"Good, then disappear." Justice snarled at Keeley before turning back to James. "I won't let you rest until you tell me what the hell is going on." She shop him by the collar to keep him awake. "You are never EVER touching alcohol again! I'm saying that as your girlfriend and manager." She growled.


"Let's go find the others." Clay said. "You go find your sister and James and I'll go find Luke and Char, that shouldn't be too tough." He rolled his eyes and walked away to find Luke. When he reached the door, he rolled his eyes again. Some noises just would never stop. He slammed his fist against the door. "Oi, give your dick and girl friend some rest." He shouted over the bedroom noise. "Grab your swimming trunks and meet us at the bus in five minutes, we're heading towards the beach."

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Effie sighed and went up the stairs. She stopped seeing Keeley. The girl nods to her." I am leaving. No worries."Keeley leaves and looks in at Justice and James.She sighed and walked in."James you fucker again?" Effie asked. She moved her sister and got James to lay down and cover him up."Trust me your not getting answers out of him like that."Effie says to her, now come on wee been in this house to long lets go get dressed. "Effie says to her sister.

"I um, I'll stay here with James." Justice said when they were about to walk out of the bedroom door. "It's not like I can do much with my hip, and besides, it's my fault that James is like that. We had a fight last night, so…" She trailed off and looked at James over her shoulder. What was going on with him? Why hadn't he told her that he had a sister? Why was he drinking so much?
