[KneelingAngel and Gilmore ] A Long Road Home

[KneelingAngel]

"I know this is going to sound crazy, but I can't leave mom." Justice said, not looking at her sister. "I-I don't know why, so don't ask my why, but even though what happened, I still love her. She's not always evil and she actually has feelings." Justice looked at her sister again and smiled sadly. "I'm sorry." She didn't know is she was saying that to Effie or herself.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Effie sighed. "Well then take my number. And call me if you need me were here in the states for about 6 months.and come meet the band also here take this. She hands her a rolled up wad of cash.Effie let her gently out of the hug.

[KneelingAngel]

Justice sighed and handed her sister the number and money back. "It's better if you just forget about us, Effie. You got your own life now, your own band, probably a man walking around somewhere, you don't need me to fuck it up." She rubbed her wrist in bad habit, she couldn't cry again. "I'll survive, I've done so for the last eight years… You don't need me anymore." You've never needed me. Justice said in her head, but kept if for herself before walking away.


It was better this way. She didn't want to cause her sister trouble or anything. It would be better if they were just apart. Effie was glamour and glitter, Justice was nothing but negative and down. She wouldn't be able to cause her sister happiness, at least not anymore. When they were younger maybe, but now? Justice wasn't so sure anymore.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Effie ran after her"justice please take it."Effie slipped it in her purse."Please come meet the band then you can go back home if you want.come on and of course I need you. I need you safe. I want you happy yoyr my sister." Effie wrapped her arm around her shoulder come on sour puss. Have a fun night with me and the band.Please. "Effie says

[KneelingAngel]

"Okay." Justice sighed, suddenly feeling deadly tired. "I'll hang with you for tonight, but only if you leave me alone after that.. Please.. I don't want you hurt. You have to forget me after tonight, act like I never existed, promise me that." She said looking at her sister with pleading eyes.


It was the truth, she didn't want to hurt her sister. They weren't close like they used to be, she didn't want her sister to shed tears over her at her funeral, which she knew wouldn't take much longer.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Effie shook her head."no but what I can do is give you a better chance at life. If you will take it."Effie looked at her."please I don't want to hear your in a mortuary because of something that twat and her wanka boyfriend did."Effie says."just think it over tonight. "Effie says. She was glad she had slipped her number and money in her sister's bag." Now come on."She stopped as the band came out."Eff you alright Mate? Who's this?"they ask. Effie smiles," yeah all good me mates. This be my little sister Justice. She is gonna hang with us a bit tonight. "Effie winks at her."Safe." They say."Justice this is James, Luke and Clay. Me mates from London. Good group of guys, can be tossas at times." Effie says. Effie watched them light up a blunt and offer her sister. "Not here wankas Americans dont allow spliff. Do it on the bus." Effie says

[KneelingAngel]

"Hey guys." Justice greeted with a smile, putting on a mask. "I didn't hear much from your music, but I guess it was awesome. Sorry for stealing your amazing singer, I couldn't help myself… As for that spliff." She added. "Call me when you have a good one, I don't mind." She laughed before leaning into her sister. "You guys need to start talking clearer, I can barely understand you guys." She whispered to her sister only.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Effie smiles and hugs her."were british girl me and blokes been living there for some time now safe yeah?" They nod."aight come on lets get back on the bus and have a bit spliff and good time." Effie tryed to sound like sge use to."sorry Justice, you get the accent and language picked up out in ol'blighty."Effie says. She walked her sister to the bus and they hopped walked in." Thats Frank the driver and Mac our Manager. Bit of a tossar wouldn't bother with him"Effie says.


Irish Ice Queen

 

[KneelingAngel]

"Hello." Justice greeted the driver and manager, before walking after her sister. The bus was bigger then she expected, it was sort of amazing. "So… You all stay here? All of you?" She questioned. "Sleeping and everything included, right? What does everybody do when some one brings a girl or a guy? Does everybody watch as they go at it or something?"

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Effie laughs. " the boys have there own beds in the back there. When they surf an turf most of us are out at a pub or here playing cards. But yup we all sleep in this and eat breakfast. Lou we all share, but I been living with them for years so we all work well together." Effie says and sits on the couch and lights up a blunt." Here you are I am gonna grab something. Mates behave or I will stick you in the boot the rest of the trip."Effie says. Effie winks at her sister. James sits by Justice. "We have heard a lot about you, your sister always talks about you and your family. Never misses to send you a birthday card and present. Trust me your sister is a good mate. Bit of a twat at times.but then again who isn't." James says and smiles. Clay and luke laugh. Effie peaked her head out an flipped the guys off "I heard that you sods." Effie says


Irish Ice Queen

 

[KneelingAngel]

Justice forced a smile as the others were having fun. Trust was that she was extremely uncomfortable. She doubted what James said, her sister wouldn't talk about the family, her, maybe, but not the family. There was nothing good to tell about them, or had Effie told everyone about the abuse back home? "Yeah, she's a good friend." Justice beamed, knowing that it was a lie coming from her mouth. She didn't believe a word. "So what do you guys do when you're not on stage? Do you guys just stay inside or go girl hunting?"


She just wanted to change the subject.. She wanted to go home, this couldn't be anymore awkward and tense for her. Even though she was really good at covering it up, she didn't want anyone to question anything about her. There was nothing good to tell.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

James laughs.eh no clay has his bird and well I am the only single one here. So no we kinda just hang together go to pubs or play games or smoke spliff."James says and smiles. "What about you. Your sister says your in a university. She said she wasn't sure what for. I am sure you have told her.so come on dont be a sad sack. I can tell your not fully into hanging with us blokes.

[KneelingAngel]

Justice shot James a look, telling him to shut it before putting a smile back on before anyone noticed besides him. "Sorry, but not seeing your sister can do that to you. And it's not like I know any of you." She said calmly even though she wanted to snap at him and smack him up the head. "I study management and events, as long as I can party and do whatever I want then I don't mind studying. Whatever keeps my mind off of other things." She smiled.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

"Trust me mate your sister loves you. We know about the abuse. Why go back Mac here is looking for someone he pay you a 100 quid a day."James says.


Effie walks out."here I am guessing mom hides my presents and letters. I got this for you." She hands Justice a box.She gives her a snall smile.


Irish Ice Queen

 

[KneelingAngel]

"You don't know anything." Justice hissed at James and pushed the present in Effie's hand to the side before standing up. "I'm going home." She told her sister and grabbed her purse as she walked out of the bus. Once she was outside in the cold air with the bus door shut, she leaned back against the side of the bus and felt tears coming up.


No one knew anything!

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Effie sighed and took the blunt."lets go Frank" she says. She tossed the present and laughs with her mates. She gave james a look and they laugh as the bus drives off.Effie looked out the window after her sister.

[KneelingAngel]

Justice decided to take the long way home once the bus was gone, just to clear her head, but no matter what she did, no tears would stop falling. Heading back home, Justice walked through the front door, feeling too broken to climb back through her window. Once she closed the door behind it her mother appeared on the top of the stairs.


"And what do you think you're doing out at this time of night?" The woman asked as she walked down. "What did you go and do? Drink? Drugs? Sell your body to get some money so that you can leave?" Cynthia, the girls' mother, snatched the purse out of Justice's hand and turned it upside down. Everything fell out, including the money her sister had given her. "So that's how it is?" The woman asked and hit the girl in the face when she didn't look up. "You dirty whore!" She shouted. "You father would have been ashamed." Cynthia grabbed Justice by her blue hair and rammed her head against the nearest wall. "Let's get that body selling idea out of your head." The woman snarled and repeatedly started to hit Justice's head against the wall.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

As she slammed her daughter's head into a wall."you were with that sister of your's weren't you. That bitch trying to take you from me isn't she."She yells." Well okay then I will kick you out just like I did her. She didn't deserve a family or you. Grab your shit and get out of my house. Go be a who're like her." Her mother yelled.


Irish Ice Queen

 

[KneelingAngel]

"No!" Justice pleaded. "Mommy, she just took me with her. She asked me to go with, but I said that I couldn't because this was my place. Please don't send me away. I don't want to be like her. I want to stay here with you." She pleaded. "Please don't do this." Justice cried. "I'll be a good girl, I'll do whatever you want, but please don't kick me out… I have no where to go but here." She added in a whisper through her tears.


She wouldn't know what to do without her mother. Yes, she got abused daily, 24/7, but she just didn't want to leave.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

"I dont care grab your shit and get out of ny house now."She says. She picked her up and slammed her into the wall." You make my life hell and your old enough get out. You make promises you can't keep.just get out."She snaps


Irish Ice Queen

 

[KneelingAngel]

"Yes, ma'am." The girl mumbles, not looking up at her mother. She picked up her things that were on the floor before walking up the stairs and to her room. Tears were rolling down her face as she tried to stuff as many clothes into her backpack. She packed some make up, her electronics and her favorite book in a plastic bag before walking down the stairs again. She grabbed her purse and looked at her mother. She kissed the woman's cheek and walked out.


Walking around the corner, Justice leaned against a wall and moved down until she was on the floor, hugging her knees in tears as she cried. With shaking hands she found her sister's card and dialed the number. "Please come and pick me up." The girl whispered in a sob. "Please."


Too make everything worse, it started to rain.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Effie heard this she stops." Shut up you damn wankas." She yelled. "Sure Justice were on our way just stay there."Effie said. "Turn around now."Effie says. Frank nods and goes back.they take 20 mins to get to her sister. The bus doors open.Effie runs out and holds out her hand."come on." Effie says gently. Her eye's warm. She gets her sister in side and sits her down."here dry, clean clothes. What happened? I am glad you called dont get me wrong but I thought you couldn't leave mum."Effie says


Irish Ice Queen

 

[KneelingAngel]

Justice felt terrible. Not only had she begged for her sister to come and get her, but now also the whole band was there to hear what she had to say. "She kicked me out." The girl mumbled, almost inaudible, as she hugged herself. Her blue hair fell around her face, hiding the brand new bruises and cuts on her face. "I wasn't careful when I got back. She found out that I had been with you so she kicked me out…" She hugged herself tighter and started to shake. "S-she told me I made her life a hell." Justice sobbed softly. "All I wanted for her was to be happy..."

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Effie sighed and hugs her. "Can you give me and my sister some space. Go all of you."She snaps."I am sorry, it will be okay.I got you okay."Effie says." Come on I will get you a shower and take car of those cuts when your done. The boys won't bug you. We have are own room." Effie says." But if you dont want me there I can sleep some where else. "Effie says


Irish Ice Queen

 

[KneelingAngel]

Justice shakes her head. "It's okay, thank you." Before taking a shower in the small bathroom of the bus. Once she was done, she pulled on the dry clothes she had gotten from her sister and walked to her sister's room. She sat down in the middle of the bed, her blue hair hanging around her face. She felt to broken and useless to move or do anything, so she would wait for her sister to appear.
