DOLLHOUSE (TayGa)

Chapter 1: "We'll Be A Perfect Family"

Joanne's pov
Here I am again, in my room pretending to be asleep and not hear what's going on, I'm sure my siblings are in the same place as me doing exactly the same. I'll explain better what's happening and what I'm not supposed to know.
I'm 17 years old, my name is Joanne Kinney, and as you may notice I'm the daughter of lady gaga and Taylor Kinney, I have 3 siblings an older brother, who's 19, his name is Joseph but we call him Joey, and then are the twins, they are 11, their names are Annabelle and Alexander, even they know what's happening, which is sad.
I look at the clock 11:38pm. I sigh and tip toe to the door of my room, and carefully I put my ear against it.
-"STOP NOW! YOU'LL WAKE UP THE KIDS!"- I hear my mom trying to keep her volume down, even though she's not trying that hard since I can hear.
-"FINE! I have to go for a walk"- my dad answers and then there's a loud noise of the door being slammed. I hear my mom curse and then walk away.
I go out of my room and to the twins, I knock and open, both of them are seated on their beds, I notice that Annabelle has little tears in her eyes, I walk and sit on her bed and hug her.
-"it's happening again"- she sobs in my shoulder, I kiss her head, and motion Alex to come here too, he gets out of his blue bed and joins the hug, I can tell he wants to cry too.
-"shhh it'll pass"- I say to comfort them, but I don't even know if it ever will. I hear someone coming into the room and all three turn around, I was hoping to find mom but it's Joey. He sits next to me and Alex hugs him. We're the oldest to in this situations we have to be strong for the twins, they need us to be strong.
After a while the twins are sleepy so Joey and I go out.
-"this needs to stop"- Joey tells me and I nod.
-"the saddest part is that they think we don't know"- I say as we walk to the kitchen, we sit down and I prepare some tea. As we are talking mom appears.
-"what are you two doing up?"- she says, her eyes are swollen, probably from crying which breaks my heart.
-"we're just having some tea, you want some?"- I ask as I fill in two cups, she nods and sits across Joey.
-"has your dad arrived yet? He went for a walk a while ago"- she tries to act normal. Joey and I look at each other and shake our heads. I pour mom a cup of tea and sit too. Joey and I have talked about letting mom know that we know what's happening so she can stop pretending, we know she does it to not make us suffer but she's making herself suffer, and dad too. I feel like now it's the time to talk.
-"mom...we need to talk"- I start, she looks straight at me but Joey hits my leg under the table as a sign for me to shut up.
-"about what?"- she asks
-"about...I wanna try homeschooling"- I say, which is true but I haven't told anyone, not even Joey, so he looks at me confused.
-"Joanne is too late to discuss this, can we talk about it in the morning?"- she says slightly relieved.
We talk about random things until we finish our tea. It's 1:45am. And as we are still on the kitchen table the front door opens and dad walks in, surprised to see us up. I relieved that he's safe.
-"what are you doing up?"- he asks to the three of us but looking straight at mom.
-"kids go to sleep"- she says and walks to dad and kisses him, I know they're pretending. And we walk upstairs to our respective rooms.
-"goodnight "- Joey says and sighs in that moment I hug him, which is rare because I'm not very affective.
-"it's going to be okay"- he whispers to me and I nod
-"I hope so, bye"- I enter to my room and just try to sleep, but I have a knot in my belly.

Joanne and Joey went to bed and now I walk leaving my husband behind, I'm really tired of all of this, the fighting, the pretending and never ending circle.
I get into bed and Taylor enters and puts on his pajama.
-"we need to stop this"- I say as he closes the door.
-"stop what exactly?"- he sighs and gets in the king sized bed, on the other edge. I still remember when we couldn't apart and look at us now.
-"the fighting. The kids are noticing, they're not stupid, Taylor"-I say, we've been trying to hide everything from the kids but they'll notice sooner or later.
-"I'm not saying they are, but what do you wanna tell them?"- he says.
-"I'm not sure, but we have fix this"- I say and he looks at me confused
-"fix our marriage"- I explain and he looks down.
-"anyway, night"- I say and turn my back him, I hear him sigh.
-"goodnight"- and we doze off to sleep.

I wake up and look at the clock it's 10:07am. I'm late for school! Why didn't anyone woke me up!? I get dressed as fast as I can and I go downstairs to the kitchen to find the image of the "perfect family" having breakfast, mom, dad, Joey and the twins all smiling...what's happening? Maybe they're all just pretending.
-"good morning"- Joey says when he sees me standing there in my uniform all confused. I walk and take my seat.
-"why am I the only one in uniform?"- I ask
-"because you guys are skipping school today and we're going to see grandma Pam in Pennsylvania "- dad says smiling at me. I don't get it.
-"plus you went to bed way too late last night, young lady"- mom says and I just stay there, quiet trying to figure out why is everyone acting so happy, even Joey.
We finish having breakfast and mom tells us to pack a suitcase for the rest of the week. As we're walking to our respective rooms I grab Joey's arm and pull him.
-"what's going on? Why is everyone acting so weird?"- I whisper
-"we're going to Pennsylvania"- he shrugs
-"I know...but why are they acting like we're fucking stupid and a perfect little family "- I loose control this is ridiculous.
-"calm down, they're trying, plus the twins are happy to go in a family trip"- he says and walks to his room. I do the same and start packing, a few minutes later I go downstairs and everyone but Joey is in the living room.
-"there you are!"- my mom says standing up from the couch.
-"Joey isn't ready yet?"- I ask
-"why don't you go to see why he's taking so long?"-she says and i nod, and walk upstairs I knock and open to find him hiding something and turning to me.
-"I didn't say you could come in"- he rolls his eyes annoyed
-"I'm sorry...what do you have there?"- I ask trying to see, he shuts his suitcase and walks out
-"nothing"- he goes down stairs. I walk confused and we all get in the car
We're on the private plane on our way to grandma's house, as I'm just looking out the window, mom comes and sits next to me.
-"hey"- I say smiling.
-"hi, so we need to talk about this homeschooling thing"- she takes my hand
-"oh yeah, well I wanna try to get into the show business "- I have told my parents this before but they told me wait until I can understand all it takes, I'm the only one from my sibling who wants to be in the public eye.
-"are you sure?"- she sighs, I know she worries about me but she kind of has me inside this bubble and I want to be what I think I'm meant to be.
-"yes."- I say decidedly. And we land so our conversation gets postponed one more time.
TO BE CONTINUED....
Hey guys, so I just had this idea that I want to do something different.
So please tell me if you want me to continue this or not haha. Thank you.
