Don't let me Jump (Vic Fuentes )

••.one.••

~Lindsey's POV~
I was currently sitting at the tattoo shop I be been working at for about a year now.
No, I'm not a tattoo artist but I am an apprentice.
I work at the desk. Which means I take all the calls and also clean up the rooms at the end of the day. 
And if your wondering, which I'm sure you are, yes I do have tattoos.
I have a cross on my hip, a dragon at the bottom of my stomach on the left side and a sleeve.
Well it's currently only half a sleeve right now but its a work in progress.
I also have a couple of piercings.
I have snake bites, my nose pierced on the right side, my left eyebrow, an anti eye brow piercing on the right side.
I also have my belly button and nipples pierced.

Let's just say I like tattoos and piercings.

I was currently scrolling through my Instagram feed when my boss, Jon, came through the door.
He had his daughter with him.

He shot me a smile and jade came and sat beside me.

"Sup bitch" she said.
"Work cunt" I said.
See she's too young to be talking like this in my opinion but she not my daughter.
She's only fourteen, but looks and acts like she's my age.
I'm twenty five.
Although I am only five feet tall.
I have short, black hair that falls to my shoulders.
I have blue eyes and where glasses.
I love music. It's my life.
That and drawing.
I leaned forward and continued to shade the white tailed doe I was working on.
She was standing proud and was looking off to the side.
She was surrounded by trees and there was a small pond with some mountains in the background.
" dude that's really good." I heard a voice say from above me.
" thanks" I said as I sat the pencil down on the desk and looked up to assist the person standing above me.

I looked up to see a young girl towering over me with a smirk on her face.
It took me a second to realize who she was when it finally hit me.
I teared up and placed my hand over my mouth.
She smiled as I stood up and slowly walked towards her.
And she soon opened her arms to welcome me in.
She was taller than me.
She has grown up so much I hardly even recognized my little sister any more.
We stood there as I held her close to me.
She held me tight as I cried on her shoulder.
"I missed you" I mumbled.
"I missed you too" she replied.
"How have you been?"

"Good. Oh goodness. You've grown so much." I chuckled.

She laughed. " well it has been four years."

My smile immediately dropped down to a frown.
"I know. I'm sorry for leaving you with mom" I said.

"It's ok. I finally left soon after you did. I was fed up and I ran away." She said. " I went and lived with aunt Tracy in Texas." she said with a small smile.
"Great. How is she?" I asked. Still smiling like an idiot.

"Shes good," she paused hesitantly and chuckled nervously.
"Whats wrong?"
"She, well, um.....kindamaybekickedmeoutfornoreason."
She mumble.
"What the hell Blake" I said slightly amused.
"Sorry?"

"It's fine. You can stay with me. I finally got a bigger apartment." I exclaimed.
"Great. Causes I'm kinda homeless. But I'll find a job soon and help out with bills and such" she trailed off and began to get distracted by the pictures of some of jons best works.

"Wow. These are great" she said. Admiring the large frame that held the picture of rose being pierced by a dagger. It was so vibrant and realistic. Almost as if you could reach through the glass and puncture your skin by the thorns.

"I want a tattoo" she pouted.
My head shot in her direction and I nearly had a heart attack.

"You don't have any tattoos??" I asked her. She just simply shook her head lightly and replied, " Aunt Tracy thought they were the mark of Satan and was giving me a one way ticket to burn in hell along with the music I listen to." She rolled her eyes and I just giggle.
" jade, go get your dad."

"K" she said and walked towards the entrance to her dads shop.
She soon came out followed by a happy looking Jon.

" what is it?" He said plainly with no emotion whatsoever.

" you have to give my little sister a tattoo. "I said. Blacked eyes lit up and she nearly jumped up from excitement.

" sure" he said "follow me"
He motioned in the direction of his back room.
Me and Blake excitedly followed him.
She sat on the black leather chair and smiled brightly at me as I leaned on the door way.

"You know what you want?"

"Yep" she replied.

"Alright, Lindsey leave"
And with that I left. I'm glad I get to Se my sister again after this long. I nearly lost her once I left. She's been through so much.
Poor thing.

....................
after about four hours my sister ran out of the room and nearly fell trying to get to me.
Apparently she didn't get one tattoo, she got four.

One was her four arm and was small cursive writings saying therapy.

Another was on her rips and said
I wanna be the tattoo ink, that swims down through the needle in your skin.-1/13/17.
I knew exactly why she got it.
One)it's one of  her favorite pierce the veil lyrics
Two) when she met them, that's what Tony signed on the poster she bought.
That was the best day of her life.

The other tattoo was behind her ear and it was a little turtle. Another tony thing.

The last one was on her thigh. Her scarred thigh.
I was simple. Small. Powerful.
It was just simply one word.
                  Pain.
It was written in red.
I nearly cried when she allowed her shorts to fall to there regular length.
I walked over and pulled her into a hug.

I missed this.
