Twisted - Tangled Limbs Sequel (Shannon Leto Fanfiction)

Chapter 14

(Trigger Warnings: Language)

(Shannon's POV)

I understood why Missi wanted to go out and do something different for a change. She was dressed like a party chick, way more sleazy than I'd ever seen and that concerned me. Michael had controlled every aspect of her life and maybe this was her way of letting that go somehow.

'Aren't they home yet?' Jared asked when he joined me in the kitchen.

'Nope'

'I thought they'd be back by now. Was it just me or did they look like they were going out looking for Mr. Goodbar?' He asked as the door swung open downstairs.

We looked at each other, then went to see if it was them. Brittany appeared to be okay, but Missi looked wasted. Her makeup was smeared as if she'd been crying and she was holding onto Brit to maintain her balance.

'What the fuck?' I said hastily.

'She had a little too much to drink.' Brittany said.

'Ya think?' I said, unable to hide my displeasure.

'Hey baby girl.' Jared said greeting Brittany, then shot me a look that indicated chill out.

'Come on Miss, I'm putting you to bed.' I grumbled.

'It might be better if I slept with her. She's already been sick once and I don't mind taking care of her.' Brittany said.

'I've got this.' I said and carried her upstairs to the spare bedroom.

'Shannon?' Missi asked.

'What baby?'

'I just wanted to make sure it was you. I'm so glad to be home.'

'We're at Jared's Miss and who else would be carrying you to bed?' I asked trying to be lighthearted as I laid her down on the bed.

'I don't know.' She said and started crying.

'What's wrong? Did something happen tonight?'

She didn't answer, and her tears turned to sobs.

'Hey, look at me. What's wrong?'

'I don't want to be away from you anymore.' She whimpered.

'You don't have to be baby. Calm down. I think you're just having a bad reaction to the alcohol. You probably shouldn't mix that with the medication you take.' I said rubbing her cheekbone.

'I need punished!' She declared suddenly.

'Miss you're drunk.' I said starting to undress her.

'That's only one reason I need punished.'

'And what would the other reasons be?' I said grinning, amused by her drunken reasoning.

'Lust'

'Okay, anything else?'

'You're not taking me seriously! You're supposed to give me what I deserve when I misbehave.' She yelled, falling as she tried to stand up.

'You need to settle down, you're going to hurt yourself.' I said helping her up.

'I'll hurt myself then if you won't!' She screamed.

I suddenly realized I didn't know who she was just then. There was more to this than being drunk and wondered if she was acting out something that happened when she was with Michael.

'What the hell's going on?' Jared asked from the doorway.

'Your guess is as good as mine.' I said perplexedly.
