Chapter 213

Chapter 8: Talk Therapy.

Marlon dropped Josie off back at the Taylor estate about 7am the next morning; before heading to work.

“I’m not kidding Jojo…I don’t give a shit about a court order. If they hurt you…call me immediately!.”

“Don’t worry! I will.”

She quickly made her way to her room; she would have to meet with that therapist at 10am. As soon as she entered the house, Laura walked up with a bright smile on her face.

“Good morning Josie…I trust everything went well with the service?”

Josie gazed at Laura before she caught Vanessa in her peripheral vision. Ignoring Laura’s question; she walked straight over to Vanessa.

“Oh! Good morning sister! How was your-”

SLAP!!

Josie slapped Vanessa directly in the face causing her to fall backwards. Laura screamed as she ran over to her.

“Josie!! Why would you do such a thing!!!”

Suddenly, the brothers along with her father all made their way into the foyer.

“What the hell happened!!”

Harold yelled as he saw Laura hunched down next to Vanessa.

“I don’t know!! Josie just slapped Vanessa and…”

“You what!!! What the hell is wrong with you!!”

Christian barked as he stood in front of Josie who was still glaring at Vanessa. Jamie immediately ran over draping his arm around her shoulder. Shooting death glares at Josie, he fumed.

“What the hell is your problem Josie! Has being in prison made you uncouth!”

Suddenly, Vanessa spoke up; tears flooding her face.

“Please don’t blame Josic! I read somewhere that a person can develop PTSD after leaving prison! She probably thought-”

“I don’t have any got damn PTSD…What I did…I did on purpose!”

The room went quiet. Laura spun around…gone was the passive motherly act. Now she had fire in her eyes.

“Why would you attack your sister?”

Josie stared at Vanessa.

“Why don’t ask her? Do you want to tell them what you did…or should I?”

Vanessa looked at Josie with a surprised expression. Tears flowing down her face.

“Sister I-”

“Stop calling me your fucking sister! Just admit what you did!!”

Suddenly, Jamie intervened.

“Look! I don’t know what you learned at that prison, but Vanessa didn’t-”

Suddenly, Josie started laughing hysterically as tears fell down her face. She started mumbling something before her words became clear. The family stared at her with shock.

“I. Am. So. Sick. Of. This. FUCKING! FAMILY!”

Harlod’s eyes began to bulge as he became furious.

“What did you say!!! How dare you! You little brat!!! After everything we’ve-”

“What!!! After everything you’ve what! Done TOO me! Because you haven’t done shit FOR ME except destroy my fucking life!!!”

Josie began to vent out all of her frustrations; it felt as if these four years had finally caught up to

“Even after everything!! After EVERYTHING FUCKING THING!! I tried to be the perfect daughter and the perfect sister, but it wasn’t enough!! It was never enough!!!”

“Why didn’t you just give me back!! HUH! Why didn’t you just give me back to my REAL FAMILY!!! To the people that loved me!!! Because it was painfully clear…you all never wanted me!!!”

“And that was fine! I was fine with that! Because I had people that actually loved me!!! And you took them away!! You took her away…..You couldn’t even…”

Josie’s words began to break as the tears flooded down her face. Laura walked up.

“Josie…I don’t know what’s going on…but if you just apologize to Nessie we can all talk-”

“Oh my fucking god!!! The days begin and end with ‘Nessie‘ so much that even when I AM THE ONE HURTING you make it about her!!! Am I not worth five minutes of your fucking time!!”

Laura tried to grab Josie’s hand, but she quickly jerked it away.

“Don’t fucking touch me! Don’t you ever fucking touch me!”

Christian began to grow frustrated.

“Why don’t you tell us what happened instead of spazzing out!!”
