Joanna P.O.V
I was light on my feet while I climbed the stairs making sure I didn't make any noise. I looked at my watch to see it was 3:45 am. The boys should be waking up in an hour. Hopefully, I would make it back in time. Harry would be pissed if he found out I disobeyed him, but I had to, we were leaving New York today and I knew I would never have another chance.
I opened up the door to her room, it was big, the house was big in general. It took me forever to find the room, to find her. I would love to live in a house like this but Harry would never let us settle down, that's what this type of lifestyle does to you. My eyes began to water as I looked at how much she's grown. The last time I saw her she was eight but that was nine years ago. She was laid out on the bed. She was curled up in a tight ball. Which surprised me, when we were younger she would sleep so wild.
"Jay," I called out to my little sister. She hopped up scared out of her mind and backed up against the headboard screaming "No Andy!"
Andy?
"It's me Jay, Joanna. Calm down" I said walking up to her.
"Oh my god Jo."She cried throwing herself into my arms. "The cops are looking for you! You're all over the news!" She said looking at me with worried eyes.
"Look at you, you've gotten so big," I said changing the subject. My eyes scanned her body. "What the fuck?" I yelled looking at her bruised skin.
"Your gonna wake them please be quiet." She begged running to the door to close it. "Who did it to you?" I said gripping the handle of my gun. "Andy." She said barely above a whisper. Andy's her adoptive brother. I have been keeping tabs on my little sister even though I wasn't able to see her in person.
I took out my gun. "Where's the motherfucker?" Jay's eyes widened. "What are you doing?" She said looking at the gun with terrified eyes. "I'm gonna fucking kill him." I said unable to keep my calm. "Please don't. They gonna take me to a different family and this the best family I've been to in a while. No one's gonna want me, I'm too old they only want the little ones." She begged.
"I can't just leave you here knowing he's fucking hurting you." I said throwing my arms up in frustration.
"So take me with you." She said her eyes lighting up. She can't come with me, she's not ready for my dangerous lifestyle, nor will she ever be. Hell, I'm surprised I handle my dangerous lifestyle. "No, didn't you hear the news? I'm 'the most dangerous women alive'. You're not ready for that kind of life, you're too sweet. I don't want you to turn out like me, a monster." I said as I looked down not trying to look at my little sister's sad, disappointed face.
"I'm begging you, please Jo. I don't care. I'll do anything just to be with you again. All we have is each other, everyone is dead. Mom, dad, Jordan, Joy. Everyone. Please don't leave me." She cried tears streaming down her face. "Fine," I said. I don't know how the boys are gonna feel about this one. For nine years straight it been only us six.
She's only seventeen I don't know how much she can take before she explodes.
