Face Round 2 by Drop Dead Gorgeous, Lyrics can be found at a lyrics.com, and also, lyrics are in Italic It had been 9 years since everything had changed and when Molly stopped believing in anything good, in what happiness was all about and honesty. The main reason she didn’t believe in anything was because her family killed that for her. Her mother and father decided to reunite but the truth was they never even separated. They moved back in together two weeks after Justin left or so they say, the truth is they sent him away because they didn’t want to deal with his problems with his disgusting lifestyle and that included 'Brian'. They did call Justin but whenever someone would ask if he wanted to talk to Molly he would say no for some reason and even though she pretended it didn't bother her it always crushed her that her own brother wanted nothing to do with her. She didn’t know why he didn’t want to talk to her and at that point she stopped caring about him. Molly didn’t know where he was or anything about his life and honestly, she didn’t care at all at least that’s what everyone believed, she was a selfish girl, she only cared for herself. That’s what everyone always said. Her parents stopped paying attention and didn’t realize she was completely different and that also included a different out look on life. When she was thirteen she came home from school with a different look and of course her parents freaked out. They didn’t know what happened to their sweet little girl, they ordered her to get rid of her new look, however, Molly who had stayed at one of her friend’s house had dyed her hair jet black along with going someplace to get a nose ring. She was dressed in a pair of Tripp Black and purple chain dark streets pants with a black tank top paired with purple fish net shirt over laying it, classic black converse. She honestly didn’t know how they didn’t see this coming; she wasn’t their sweet little girl that listened to everything they said. She has been dressing the way she wanted to for the past three years and of course that doesn’t stop her mother from buying dresses for her, that’s when she lets her creative side come out, she rips them apart or turns them into something new. She knew Justin was an artist and in a way she thought of herself as one. However, if she ever tried to talk about which college she wanted to go to she was shut down. When she would ask about Justin her father’s reply was always the same at first, 'he chose his own life and was not welcome in this house', but she often wondered what that meant but she never said anything. She was just tied of screaming with them, they would never understand that you were born the way you are. The main fact about her life was she was starting to realize how confusing this time in her life was and was confused about her own self. She would never seriously tell her parents she was, one time when they were having a particular heated battle she yelled; “I’m gay deal with it” that of course resulted in her receiving a slap in the face and being locked in her room. She never told her parents she was unsure about herself again. But of course, the fact that now she was on Liberty Avenue late at night meant nothing or anything. She was tied of waiting till she was eighteen she would just hang around inconspicuously. The fact that no one knew her here meant she could get away with almost anything. As long as she didn’t smile as her smile was exactly like Justin’s, it was actually uncanny. Molly had been going to Woody’s for the past month and a half, she was so scared the first time she walked in and then she met Bill the bar keep. Bill was this body builder type, but it was a little disturbing because his neck disappeared into his shoulders but he looked good like that. He was nice to her. When she smiled the first time he said, "You remind me of someone”. That freaked her out, she didn’t want anyone to know who she was; Molly Taylor all grown up. She just brushed it off, he knew her name was Molly and she had her suspicions he knew who she was but of course that didn’t stop him from befriending her. She would come down here and one night a waiter called in sick and she got to help out. It was Karaoke night so of course it was packed and that’s when she saw him, Brian Kinney. He was with a group of friends, she recognized them immediately. Michael, Ben, Ted and Emmett but of course there was another guy there with Ted and someone with Michael and Ben. She asked Bill and he told her that was Hunter, their son and Blake, Ted’s partner. Of course, she recognized everyone from a sketchbook she found in the trash outside one day when she was like ten. She was hanging out at the bar having a break with a club soda when she felt someone next to her and that’s when he looked up and saw the gap tooth man. "Hello there sweetie." Emmett said smiling. "Hi." Molly was uncharacteristically nervous, as she didn’t want to be found out. "I’m Emmett Honeycutt and you are?" "Molly." Emmett raised his own eyebrow a little. "You have a last name Molly?" Molly smiles a little. "Yeah but I don’t want to tell." Emmett nods his head. "Interesting, well, Miss Molly, It’s nice to meet you." "You too." Molly watches as Emmett walks back to his table and that’s when she decides it time to head home. She gets up and hugs Bill and waves to Emmett and walks out into the night. Another night on Liberty and she was still amazed yet happy no one ever figured out she was Justin’s little sister. Just like every night when she came home the house was dark, she could only hope no one was up because she really didn’t feel like dealing with them, right now. She was in a good mood because she actually talked to Emmett. He was so nice and sweet; even though they chatted for a few minutes she could tell he was a great person. As Molly slowly opened the door and closed it quietly, she was startled by the fact that in the living room was her mother and father. "Where were you?" "None of your business mother." "Molly, tell your mother and I where you were, right now?" Molly looked them both in the eye and stood straight up to them. "I was at Liberty Ave." Molly smirked a little. "You can’t control me anymore Craig no matter what you do." Craig walked over towards Molly and stood in front of her his face was beat red but Jennifer moved him out of the way. "Go upstairs, your father and I have to discuss what we are going to do with you." Molly started to walk out of the living room and turned around at the bottom of the stairs. "Some things never change; you don’t like how your kids behave so you just send them away." With that Molly ran upstairs to her room, her sanctuary and turned on her favorite song at the moment. This is a nightmare. You've lost control. Wake me before you reach the bottom, of what never ends. It feels like summer in the Winter, it's raining all the time. You fell like snowflakes, in the Summer, This is everything I wanted. If it wasn't for you, I'd be happier than ever. And every time I think of you, I'll close my eyes, and blacken my heart, and never love again. Is this a 9mm or is this a ticket home? And I'll forget you, alone, as I lie underground in peace. Is this what you wanted? Are you happy now? Will you live a life of lies and never look back? And leave this place you once called home without a trace, And call this a tragedy? Is this a tragedy or a romance? We need a doctor, baby, Not a souvenir. This glass is poison, baby, it's not your last dance. Hold on to something solid, Don't run, It's now your time to go. In the living room sat a very frustrated Jennifer and Craig, they didn’t know when they lost control of Molly. It was happening all over again. They tried to control Justin even faked getting divorced but that never worked, when he got to hurt they shipped him off and now they were losing Molly but again Jennifer wonder if they ever controlled her. She was the first to break the silence. "What are we going to do?" "Send her away." "Why?" "Because she is worse then Justin. Hell, send her to him." "She hasn’t talk to Justin in nine years." "I don’t care, she is now his problem." With that Craig left the room and headed to his home office while Jennifer thought of a way to actually convince Justin to take her. Whenever he would ask to talk to her they would tell him she wasn’t there or when Molly asked they told her he didn’t want to talk to her. The truth was they kept the kids away from each other and only called Justin once a year. As she picked up the phone she knew this wasn’t going to be good. The next Morning… Molly came down stairs in a pair of black sweats with an over size red shirt. She got her self some cereal and she sat down at the table, while she started to eat she saw her mother walk into the kitchen. "Morning Molly." "Morning." "You need to finish eating and go pack." Molly who stopped eating looked at her mother like she had grown another head. "Why?" "Your flight is at eight tonight, you’re going to live with Justin." Molly who was now standing up looking completely shocked, confused, and maybe a little hurt but she wouldn’t show it. "What? Justin? What are you talking about?" Jennifer who had her back to Molly turned to face her. "Your father and I talked about it and we feel since you can’t be trusted we are sending you to Justin." "I haven’t seen Justin in nine years and you expect me to…" "Yes, we do, now go pack we are leaving at six. " Molly who had collected herself by then looks at her mother with an unreadable expression on her fact. "Fine, Mother." With that Molly leaves the kitchen and goes upstairs to start packing towards her new life with Justin. She was so pissed and angry but yet she was happy to get away from Craig and Jennifer. They were no longer her parents. She was alone in this world and she knew then to never count on anyone. ~Justin~ I can’t believe I even agree to this, the fact that I only hear from my parents every year and when ever I try to talk to Molly, she is never there or never wants to talk to me. Whatever, they couldn’t handle another one of there fucking kids so they send her to me, are we really shocked? No, not so much. My mom said that Molly was out of control and dyed her hair black. She is no longer our problem. How the hell do they lose control over a sixteen-year-old girl? Whatever, Here I am in Lambert Airport waiting my sister to get here. She was supposed to get in at eleven my time. Suddenly, there are a bunch of people exiting security but Justin can’t see anyone that even looks like Molly until suddenly right in front of him is a pair of staring matching blue eyes. "Molly?" Molly smirks a little. "Hi big brother." Justin takes a minute to soak in her appearance, she is wearing sweats and her short black hair is down with streaks of blue in them. "You’re different." "Well, when you don’t have anything to do with someone for nine years I guess they change a little." "Okay, I like the blue." "Thanks, I put it in before I left; I wanted them to have something else to worry about." "Nice, come on." Both brother and sister left to get the rest of Molly’s bags lost in their own thoughts of how bad this was going to be. Molly couldn’t believe that her brother still looked the same just a lot more grown up. His hair was longer but he still looked good. Justin was thinking what the hell happened to his little sister not admitting that the black hair only seemed to show of her true character and she was still beautiful. After, getting the bags they walk to the parking where Justin parked his Nissan Rogue. They pilled all three big bags into the trunk of his car and each got into their seats. "You ready?" Molly sighed and said sarcastically. "Let’s get this party started." TBC
