Gallavich

Four

Ian went missing. He's completely gone. For 13 days. No one has heard from him, no one has seen him.

--

"You owe me Gallagher."

Ian watched mickey walk away. Ian wasn't ready to be left alone. After Mickey was out of sight, he got up and started walking. He didn't know where he was going or if he was ever coming back.

It was already dark when he started walking. He stole all the money out of Monica's purse when she was sleeping. He slipped out of Mickeys arms to go take a piss, but seen Monica's purse and seen makeup, money and meth.

Ian wanted mickey to be with him. He wanted to be in a relationship, wanted to get to know him more, wanted to be open about it. But he knew that couldnt happen, because of terry.

Ian walked to the L and sat down. He wanted to get as far as away as possible.

--

"Hey have you seen Ian?" Mickey asks the Gallagher siblings after work. "He wasn't at work and Linda said she hasn't heard from him."

Mandy and the gallaghers all looked concerned. Fiona finally spoke up and said, "No he never came in last night. We thought he went home with you."

Mandy picked up her phone and tried calling Ian. No answer.

Soon everyone was texting and calling Ian.

--

Ian didn't want to talk to anyone, so he turned his phone off and put it in his back pocket.

He smiled looking out the window, knowing he was finally free.

--

"Dude what if fucken Monica took him?" Lip asks. Fiona, him, mickey and Mandy were all in the livingroom trying to figure everything out.

Mickey shook his head. "No, theres no way that bitch would take him. and if she did, he would have found a way to tell us already."

Frank came in from the kitchen. "Or he could have just ran away." They all laughed sarcastically at frank who continued, "I'm serious, he took all of Monny's money."

Mickey and Mandy both mumber "fuck" at the same time as lip and Fiona mumbled "shit."

--

"Hey. freckles, I'm talking to you." Ian looked up and was met with a guy. Ian has been walking back and forth for almost half of an hour.

"Are you lost?" The guy asked Ian. Ian looked at him and said, "Kind of. I ran away from my hometown and have no clue where I'm going."

The guy smiles and says, "Come back to my house. I have a spare room. we look about the same age n shit. I'm 17." Ian smiled and said, "Okay, sounds good. I'm Ian and I'm also 17"

The guy nods at Ian and says, "Hi Ian, I'm Trevor."

--

Mandy and Mickey both walked to their house for the night. As they were walking home, Mandy said, "What if some dude kidnaps him? I'm worried about him."

"Mandy, you know how he is. Hes strong. He'll be back eventually...I hope." Mickey put his arm around his younger sister continuing to walk.

--

"Fiona, when's Ian gonna be back? he moved my knife and I want it back." Carl was talking to Fiona who was watching t.v.

Fiona sighed and said, "He left, he said he would be back at some point but didn't know when. Went to a friend's for a little while." Fiona planned on lying to the younger ones so they didn't worry.

--

The next morning Mandy walked Mickey to work on her way to the Gallaghers. Mickey constantly checked his phone for a message. Any sort of thing from Ian. Where he might be. There was nothing.

At the end of his shift, he looked at Linda and said, "Look, thank you for this job. I appreciate it a lot. but I quit." Mickey walked out with an unphased Linda and a relieved Kash.

--

"Oh hey mick. didnt know you were coming." Carl said letting Mickey in. "Lip and Mandy are upstairs, Fiona is out with Jimmy-Steve, and Debbie and Liam are with sheila."

Mickey nodded before going upstairs. Mandy and Lip watched as Mickey sat at the foot of Ian's bed. He looked up at the two and said, "its been a week without a word from him."

Mandy and Lip both nodded.

--

"Ian, babe, dinners done" Trevor yelled to Ian.

Ian walked to the kitchen where Trevor was. Its been almost 2 weeks since he had his phone.

"I told you not to call me that." Ian replied, rather angrily. "Sorry" Trevor mumbled out.

"Im leaving tomorrow morning." Trevors eyes got wide. "What!? Why!?"

Ian shrugged his shoulders. Once he was done eating, he started packing his stuff.

--

"Tomorrow makes two fucking weeks Mandy. Two weeks since anyone fucking seen his bitch ass." Mickey was telling Mandy. They were at the Gallaghers house for dinner, something they started to do. That way they could catch up and see if anyone has heard anything from Ian.

"Mick, he'll come around." Fiona was telling Mickey. He rolled hia eyes and continued to eat.

--

"So that's it? You're just gonna leave?" Trevor asked Ian. "Shut the fuck up before I go now."

Trevor laughed and said, "You're to much of a pussy to even leave tonight!"

Ian grabbed his bag, put his shoes on, put some money on the table and left.

--

"Frank get the fuck out of my house!" Fiona yelled from the kitchen with everyone as the front door shut.

"Bitch don't compare me to that piece of shit" Ian laughed dropping his bag and walking to the kitchen.

Everyone fell silent. Mickey was upstairs using the bathroom. As he was coming down the stairs he said, "Who the fuck is coming over this damn late?"

He didn't see Ian because everyone was hugging him. When Ian heard Mickey, he turned to face him. Mickey stopped in his tracks.

Mickey and Ian made eye contact as everyone watched in awe. Mickey said "Hey, what the fuck Gallagher."

After a couple of seconds, the two shared a quick but tight hug.
