Heeey guys another update, thanks everyone for the lovely reviews and sorry for everyone that wants a new chapter every day, I just don't have enough time but I'm trying to get in at least 2 in the weekends and a few weekly…
Continued straight on from last chapter…
He couldn't believe it and neither could anyone else. Rick and Frank jumped up almost immediately grabbing Johnny and pulling him away from everyone. Tee just stood still and stared. She stared at the boy she called her brother.
She raised her hand to the burning read mark on her cheek and a tear silently rolled down her face. "Johnny what have you done to her you stupid idiot," Rick said, shoving him in the chest. Tee ran away from Johnny, her so called brother.
She never wanted to see him again.
"I…I.. Tee wait!" Johnny said, attempting to run after her but failing after being pulled back by Frank and Rick. "Johnny, leave her, you've done enough damage for today, I really think seeing you again is the last thing Tee wants," Erin said, shaking her head in disgust.
"I'm sorry; ya know I didn't really mean that about you?" Johnny said, shaking. "I don't know what to believe from you anymore, "she said.
"That could've been me," Kitty said, trembling, "If I'd stayed with ya I mean, you might've hit me." Johnny shook his head violently. "Kitty no!" Johnny shouted, distraught, "I would never hit you, any of you, I swear."
"Then why Tee?" Kitty asked, getting up, "She's lovely and she's never done anything bad to any of us, she's like a saint and all she's done since she was born is follow every order she was given, first from that horrible stepdad, now from you."
"Don't you ever compare me to him, we're nothing alike!" Johnny shouted angrily. "Really, he hit you and Tee before you came into care, didn't he?" Kitty said, smirking as he ran off.
"That was a little harsh Kitty," Frank said, "You didn't really have to get his family involved did you?" "What, he deserved it, you all know he did!" She shouted looking at the group who all looked rather uncomfortable.
"Right you lot, try sort yourselves out, I'm gonna try and find Tee," Erin said getting up and walking in the direction of the house leaving Rick, Frank and Kitty sat on the grass in a very awkward silence.
Erin ran up the stairs shouting Tee's name. When she reached Tee's room she cautiously knocked on the door, hoping for a reply.
When she didn't get one slowly Erin pushed open the door, peering round it. On Tee's bed a mound of duvet was in a ball at the top.
"Oh Tee," Erin sighed as she walked over to the bed. The lump under the duvet moved and Erin could hear Tee sniffing as if she was trying to stop crying.
"Tee come out please, he's honestly not worth crying over," Erin said. The duvet moved and suddenly Tee emerged from it. "Come here," Erin said, pulling her into a warm hug.
"I'm not crying over him, I'm just crying because I'm shocked, I mean I know Johnny had anger problems but I couldn't ever see him hitting or hurting anyone here, especially his own sister," Tee said, wiping her eyes.
"I know Tee but however harsh he was to me, you and the others , he didn't mean what he did to you and I'm pretty sure that he's never gonna do it again," Erin said, comforting the girl.
"Too right he's never gonna do it again," Tee said, jumping up. "What'd you mean?" Erin asked, confused. "I'm leaving," Tee answered plainly.
Erin jumped up at this rushing over to Tee. "Tee you can't run away, you're not streetwise, your get hurt or mugged or anything could happen to you, please don't leave, the effect it would have on everyone would damage a lot of us, especially your brother," Erin begged.
"Look, I'm 13 now, that was your age when you arrived here and you snuck out all the time," Tee said, recalling when Erin and Rick snuck out after curfew. (Note: This wasn't included in the story but it did happen okay, haha)
"Tee that's because I had Rick to protect me, he was streetwise and there's different types of girls, your innocent, small, helpless you really couldn't fight off anyone who tried to hurt you, I'm feisty, tall and I can pack a punch when I want you really wouldn't last very long out there," Erin pleaded with the girl.
"You think you know it all don't you?" Tee said, pushing Erin away, "Oh look I'm Erin the big streetwise superstar, you lived for years afraid of your bloody parents!"
"Look fine Tee, ya got me, maybe I don't know everything but I do know that you wouldn't last very long on the streets, not many of us would so please don't go, just stay at least until tomorrow so you can sort things out with Johnny and we'll go from there?" Erin said, trying to reason.
"Okay, I promise you I won't even think about leaving until I've sorted everything with Johnny," Tee said, smiling, "And I'm sorry for what I said, I didn't mean it I just got angry."
"It's alright," Erin said, hugging Tee and jumping up. She held out her hand, "You coming downstairs, we're all still in the garden. "Nah I'll just wait up here for a little longer, I'll come down later, I really don't want to face everyone yet," Tee said, shaking her off.
"Okay, see you later," Erin said, waving as she closed the door. Tee waved but as the door closed she pulled out a rucksack and began shoving everything important in, money, clothes, and memories. She was leaving tonight; she was not waiting to sort it out with her brother. She wanted to torture him and this was the perfect revenge.
(The following morning) (The start is a little bit of a copy from the episode Esme but I liked the idea)
Johnny rolled over in his bed to hear a crunching sound. He sat up and saw a piece of paper folded in half lying on his pillow. Picking it up he wondered what on earth it was but he felt a strange vibe in the air that morning, like something was missing. He unfolded the paper and began to read…
Dear Johnny,
By the time you've read this I'll defiantly be long gone. I've had enough of being your slave and to be honest this is my way of making a stand. I've run away and please don't come looking for me as you'll probably never find me. I'm really sorry to leave you but I'm fed up of living in fear of doing something wrong because you'll get angry at me, just remember that wherever I am we'll always be brother and sister and I will miss you and the others so much but it's just my time to go, I don't belong with you, I need to be free,
Loving you forever, Tee.
Johnny's eyes brimmed with tears, threatening to fall as he read the letter. He had to go after her, there was still a chance of finding her that way. He couldn't let his baby sister escape from him. It was his duty to protect her and all he'd done was hurt her and order her about.
Jumping out of his bed, he pulled a hoodie over his bare chest and replaced his trackies with a pair of jeans. He grabbed some money and his phone and opened his door.
Erin was stood outside his door, clutching another piece of paper in her hands. Her eyes were red and blotchy and her cheeks were tear streaked. "I'm so sorry," She whispered, holding out her arms.
Johnny broke down in tears as Erin wrapped her arms around him comfortingly. "We'll get her back, I promise," Erin whispered clutching onto him as they both laid collapsed on the floor.
