Truth and Lies (RP for me and Battleship44)

[Arella18]

Gem’s life wasn’t one of ease and comfort, no it was the opposite. Her pain had started at the age of seven when her father died. A year later her mother remarried out of grief. It had affected her deeply and she became depressed. In the coming years she slowly turned away from her family and turned to a bad crowd. She never got involved in the partying or drugs but they were people that would actually be there for her. Her step-father had seen it as the perfect opportunity to treat her like crap. Noone believed her they only cared about his words.

So here she was standing at the doorstep of her step brother. She’d been kicked out and it was really the only way to keep her in school. With a deep sigh she pressed the doorbell and adjusted the small backpack on her shoulders. It only had the things she cared to bring from the house. The rest was with her friends and she’d get it later.

“Come on…open the door” She sighed knowing exactly what to expect.

Her step father had probably told him lies about drug use. Even the story about her friends death would have been twisted and turned against her.

Axel walks down his staircase slowly, sighing and rubbing the back of his head lightly. He was taking off his tuxedo as he came down. throwing away the jacket and tie, till only his partially unbuttoned shirt remained along with his pants. He had just come back from his highschool graduation.

He slowly opens the door and looks at Gem with abit of a funny smile on a handsome face. Leaning on the door post lightly "So what kind of shit have you gotten yourself In this time?" he says sarcasticly, moving out of the door way to let her In before she can even answer.

"You wouldn't believe me anyway" She said softly walking past him.

Her eyes were cast to the ground not wanting to even look at him.

"Though I'm gonna be here for awhile" She told him "Your dad doesn't want me back".

She went straight for his living room and sat down on the couch opening her backpack. Taking a small book out of it she opened it and began to read in silence. There was no concievable reason for her to try and be pleasant with her step brother, they were polar opposites anyway.

Axel sighed a little bit as she walked past him without even a thank you. but that was her, and before all of this argument and fighting, they used to get alone with each other. The closes the door shut and unbuttons the rest of his shirt as he walks In the living room aswell, revealing his muscular figure which was quite well hidden under his tuxedos and shirts. Axel was always the prized possesion of his family. A genius In school, Amazing at sports, artistic, Agile, basicly the whole package, A parent's prefect dream. But he could care less. To him..he was just simply being himself. He went through the living room and slides open the kitchen door, he was still In Gem's sights as he rummages through some cupboard "Want something to eat?" he says lightly, Not wanting to force questions on her. as he returns to living room and sits down next to her, Offering her some potato chips "I cant really be that bad...want to talk to about It?" he asks innocently.

"Not really in the mood for food" She said finally looking at him. He was always so damn looking but it really didn't matter to her at all. "I'm even in less of a mood to talk about any of this" She said softly "Its none of your business". He wouldn't believe it anyway not after his father's lies got through with him. It was something unfortunate but he did have a father who could make someone believe the sky was brilliant purple. "Don't bother asking me about it...or anything else" She said softly "I won't tell you".

 

[Battleship44]

Axel takes a long, drawn out sigh as he withdraws the food, tossing It aside open, just adding mess to an already messy house. He shruged lightly as he looked at her. "You know, Im not Biast like my father Is..Im not going to go by what he said alone..If you ever bothred to ask me my opinion, Or explain your shit I might actually help you once and a while..but your mind seems dead set on this..So have It your way Gem.." He gets up and takes his shirt completley off. walking past the living room and stops at the bottom of the staircase "You can obviously stay here for as long as you wish..Just come up to me If you finally want to tell me why the fuck my father kicked you out." and with that, he dissapears up the stairs.

She sighed softly and closed her book then she saw the clock on the wall.

"Oh no...I have to leave" She said to herself and stood abandoning her backpack.

Without a word to Axel she walked out of the house and took off down the the street. His house was a lot closer to the club than her mother's had been so she would be able to get there faster.

"The guys are gonna kill me" She panted "I've never been late before".

In all fairness she'd never had to go through this kind of bull before.

 

[Battleship44]

Axel had a feeling something like that would happen. He had been staying at the top of the stairs, hiding behind a corner. As soon as she steps out of the door and closes It, he jolts down and grabs a shirt, opening the door quietly and following her to her destination, not even bothering to put on the shirt before he leaves, he does as he follows and leaves It unbuttoned. Side stepping through lawns and between fences, hoping to figure out what she has gotten herself Into.

 

[Arella18]

She stopped to catch her breath a few blocks from the club.

"Damn...I'm not cut out for this" She panted "Axel lives too far away".

"Hey Gem" She heard a voice and looked up.

Walking towards her were two girls and a guy with his arms around them. It was Liz, Devonna, and Fang, her bandmates if they were here it meant the gig was cancelled.

"Oh man...don't tell me" She sighed softly "I'm so sorry"

"How could you flake on us like that" Liz said angrilly stepping toward her "We were counting on you tonight".

"Seriously Gem" Fang said "You're the one thing keeping us from getting ahead...god why do you have to be such a princess".

She looked down at the ground it wasn't her fault...she didn't exactly have another place to go.

"I said I was sorry" She said to them "Its not my fault tonight...".

"Oh shut up..." Devonna said rolling her eyes "we don't need excuses".

"I got kicked out of my fucking house" Gem snapped "SO I'm sorry I didn't get to the damn club on time...I'm sorry that my nazi mother and step father made me leave and start over somewhere new...it won't fucking happen again...".

They scoffed and walked passed her Liz shoving her out of the way making her stumble into the road and fall to the asphalt.

"You'd better not be late again...we can't lose another fucking gig" Fang growled angrily.
