That night jo managed to have a good sleep in her house until the next morning. she woke up and got ready to go to the château earlier that the other so see jj. she walked into the kitchen and saw her father with a cigarette and a beer in his hands.
"i haven's seen you in days" he said, he look really calm
"you have been out for work" she replied as she opened the fridge
"for one day. what did you do?" he asked as his voice began to get louder "fuck a dirty pogue?" he was now behind her, and i thought he was calm today, he brutally closed the fridge "answer me, damn it!" she shook her head
he grabbed her by her face pushing her against the fridge "don't fucking lie to me!" he yelled, a tear escaping her eye, no matter how many times that happened, it was always horrible
"dad, please. i'm not lying" she was now crying when one of his hands ended over her face "don't fucking cry!"
he kicked her leg making her fall on the ground "you and your sibling are useless!" another kick, he began to kick her, punch her, slap her and after a while she thought she did something to make him hate her that much.
There she was, about to give up.
he was hitting her once again, she was there on the floor and she wanted to yell at him to take a damn gun and shoot her and then she saw those blue eyes remembering how much she loved them, and that smile that kiara always gives her, and john b's hand taking hers in comfort, and sarah laughing with her and she heard pope talking about how much the pogues are important to him and that pogues are for life...
...life. that word echoed around her brain and suddenly she heard another voice waking her from her trance "don't shoot her" it was her sister debbie, her father seriously took a gun and was about to shoot her without her noticing it
"please" debbie was almost crying "i'm begging you, don't shoot her" her sister fell on her knees "i'm begging you" a tear fell down her cheek "she is the only sister i have and i need her" and with that someone knocked at the door so her father opened it.
it was a man that handed to thomas, jo's father, something like 100/200 bucks "she is there, the older one" she heard her father saying and the man took her by her throat, he smelt exactly like her father, like cigarettes and beer and he was probably high as fuck. he headed to jo's room and brutally pushed her on her bed as she kept screaming and begging to let her go.
