Shitty Life

 

A/N The time line is fucked up, and I won't really follow the season. This is taking place while Jerome is in Arkham the second time with Scarecrow and Penguin.

Parents, that's what everybody has right? Whether your an orphan, or only have one parent present in your life. We all have a pair that makes us who we are. Where ever we go people say how much we look like them or act like them, or have the same go to attitude.

In their eyes Jerome and Josette didn't have parents. Even though Josettes parents were both alive they were not her parents. She had a mother and a father but not a mom and dad, there is a different between those titles. A mother and father are the people who created you. A mom and dad are there for you, they care for you.

With Jerome it was a somewhat different story. He hated his mom with every cell in his body. His dad, well he only found out who his dad was about one year ago. Jerome killed his mom first, it was something he has been longing for. He got caught, his dad turned him in and that same day that's when he found out the old man was his father. It was honestly funny to Jerome how things play out. He killed his dad months after that.

Josette would never kill her parents, she has 6 other siblings that would probably never trust her again if they found out. The second youngest, Katie still has hope that maybe one day they will change and become the 'perfect family'. I know sounds like a cliché. The 'perfect family' just simply does not exist. Her father, Frank beat them, except Katie and Kol, he probably forgot they even existed, no the oldest were the ones who got the beatings.

Jerome took care of himself, never had anyone not even his twin brother. No mom, no dad, no brother. He did have one friend though. She believed in him, listened to his crazy ideas and was always there. Josette Mikaelson was the name he thought about the most whenever he was at a all time low. He hadn't seen her since he killed his mother, which was a couple years ago. All he knows is that she's stuck in Gotham with her siblings, that annoyed the crap out of Jerome.

The young girl was home today, organizing the attic. Looking at a box of trophies, she had won them during her high school years. She had to drop out in the middle of Junior year, to get a job. Everything was going great, she had a GPA of 3.8, she was a cheerleader, danced, ran in track, sang and people knew who she was. All of that had to be put behind her, she needed to do actual adult things, something her parents never did.

Josette put the boxes in a corner and went down a small wooden ladder. Her brothers Philip, Elijah, Gabe and Peter were at school. Josettes sister was with Josettes friend and her daughter. Kol was sleeping in his small bed, he's a one year old.

These past few months have been a bit hard for her. Jeremiah had stopped talking to her and was now with her best friend. It's not they Jeremiah and Josette were together but he was one of the people who helped her and they also lived together or used to live together.

Josette sat down at the kitchen table, it was quite, no noise could be heard just the sound of the air conditioning. She leaned back and began to tap a rhythm on the table with her nails. Looking around the house there was nothing to do.

Suddenly there was a loud knock on the door followed by four more. The sound made her jump from her seat.

Josette quickly went to the door in fear of the knocking waking up her sleeping brother.

In one swift motion she opened the door. "What could you possibly wa-" she whispered shouted but was cut off by an arm snake around her putting a hand over her mouth.

The force pushed her back into her wall with the unknown person closing the door with his/her foot.

Josette swore she blacked out for a small second because the person was cornering her against the wall staring right at her with his hand still covering her mouth.

It wasn't just a random person it was Jerome Valeska. Didn't he get sent back to Arkham? She asked herself.

"Don't. Scream." Jerome whispered. Josette quickly nodded. His hand carefully came off her. The red head looked at her with his forest green eyes.

"Jerome? What are you doing here?" She slightly whispered.

"Well I broke out of Arkham. Obviously. But now the GCPD is on my ass." He explained.

"You do realize you being here can land me in jail?"

"Since when do you care Jo Jo?" Josette hated that nickname.

"Well I care alright I know I never did back then but this is me now." The girl crossed her arms as if it could somehow protect her.

Josette didn't realize that this moment right now would change her life forever.
