Red light district. Not exactly where you'd see a kid. Well,not when the sun would go down.
Kids play here during the daytime but once it gets dark,a mix of male pedestrians,pimps and hookers are usually around.
That and the members of the sindacco mob family. Gionna cipriani would normally be home by now,watching liberty city survivor or listening to LCFR or liberty rock radio but here she is,in one of the sleaziest places in liberty city.
Here because home didn't feel like home anymore.
Here because the monorail that leads to hove beach was under reconstruction because of a crash two days ago. She had gotten out of there alive with some minor injuries because it was pure luck that johnny had found her in the last part of the monorail,pinned underneath a beam but conscious. Getting out of carson general hospital took some time,though.
The doctors had no one to release her to because her mother had taken off after another fight. 'Stubborn woman. I wish you would come back home.' Gionna mutters,buttoning her black trench coat and readjusting her red,white and black plaid scarf. 'Playa hater!' She hears a pimp yell after someone almost runs him over.
'Crazy drunk drivers!' Gionna says,laughing softly as the cold wind blows past her face. XXX mags is still open. Maybe it's warmer in there. Just as she walks to the door,a hand grabs her much smaller one. 'Where the hell have you been? It's freezing out here,kid.' Joey says.
'Wandering the city...trying to think of a place to crash for the night.' Gionna says as joey takes his gloves off and puts them on her hands. 'Hey,joey. Hey,gigi.' Mickey says after walking up to us. 'Go get the car,mickey.' Joey says. Mickey gives gionna a sympathetic look,puts his hand on her shoulder and walks back to find the car.
'I'd normally say that i can walk back home but my legs are numb.' Gionna says.'You and your mom have another fight,kid?' Joey says. Gionna nods,letting joey hug her.'Not back to your place then.' He says.
It isn't too long before they make it to salvatore's house and joey explains everything that gionna said to him. The small brunette is on the couch,curled up under a blanket and mickey has gone to the cipriani house to go and get some of gionna's things.
Joey can tell that she's falling asleep after a cup of cocoa and pulls the blanket over her as she lies down on the couch. 'I wish that her mother would treat her better,pop.'Joey says,brushing his hand against gionna's hair as she closes her eyes,letting herself drift off to sleep.
'I wish that too,son. Florence and gionna are strong,opinionated women but they still need eachother. Hopefully,
florence comes to her senses.' Salvatore says,wondering what could possess a mother to leave her child behind.
(This is set a few days prior to missing hours:a teenage horror story. I just wanted to show what gionna's relationship with the leone family was like. Yes,i will write the sequel,it never ends but it might be a while. Until then,feel free to read my other stories.)
