Authors Note: Ugh sorry for the short chapter, guys.

Ada had been staying with the Gallagher's for the past couple of days, since the whole situation happened. She was in the kitchen with Debbie and Liam eating cereal when Fiona finally came downstairs, away from Gus.

"Hey! What's up, yo?" Fiona asks, as she ruffles Liam's hair. "How's your day looking?"

"Well, I was thinking I should go on the pill." Debbie admits.

This definitely took Fiona and Ada by surprise.

"So you're going to be-" Fiona starts.

"Well, since things are over with Matty, I figure it's best to be prepared for next time. Don't you?" Debbie asks nonchalant.

"Yeah. But there's more than pregnancy to worry about. How about we stick to condoms?" Fiona asks, more like begging.

"They're only 82% effective." And by this time, Ada had zoned out of the conversation. She honestly didn't want to know about her friend's sex life.

All she knows is that Fiona agreed to make an appointment at Planned Parenthood.
Carl races down the stairs, barely acknowledging anyone in the room, when Fiona stops him dead in his tracks.

"Slow down, Carl!"

"I got to run." Carl says.

"Huh, like you need to be somewhere." Ada says as she munches on her cereal.

"While you're sitting on your lazy ass, I'll be at my job." Carl snarks back.

"Like you actually got a job." Ada says, not believed. Carl just nods. "Holy shit! You have a job?"

"Like I've been telling you, Ada." Carl convinces.

"Anyways, see you." Carl shoved some food in his mouth and raced out the door.

Ada took this as a day she won't be hanging with him, per usual these days. Debbie was too focused on reading about birth control, and Fiona was probably having sex with Gus.

She'd be on her own today when she realized neither Lip, Ian, or Liam were in the house.

Not even Frank.

She'd be caught dead going to her Dad's house but she needed to get more of her clothes and stuff so she had to take the risk. Luckily, it was Monday - which meant he was at work, doing construction. Ada just had to get out of the house by 4pm, it was currently 12. She would make it.

Ada put on her shoes, grabbed her backpack and walked the block to her house. There it was, still ugly and old as ever. Ada rummaged to find her key and opened the door, hustling to her room. It was a mess. Whenever she would leave for a couple of days and her Dad was pissed at her, he would go in her room and throw and break her shit.

Just as a: "Fuck you Adalaide."

This obviously not being the first time, Ada sighed and tried to grab as much of her stuff as she could so she could get the fuck out of there. Which she successfully accomplished.

It was around 1 currently, it took Ada a while to find her stuff. The girl found herself back in front of the blue house and opened it. Still, no one was there.

I've never been this bored. Never. Never. Never. Ada thinks as she slugs her way up the stairs. She would go into Debbie's room but if she had to be honest, that room was a shit show. Carl's bed it is, Ada just trying not to think what goes on in that bed.

She passed out around thirty minutes later.

"Yo, wake up." Ada hears as a hand pushes on her arm.

Ada turns her face to find Carl next to her, "How long have you been out for?" He asks, amused at her grogginess. 

"Ugh, I have no idea. I don't even know what time it is." Ada admits.

"Like ten pm, I think."

"Fuck, I've wasted the whole day sleeping. I'm such an idiot."

"Yeah, you are." Carl says as Ada hits his arm. "I hung out with Frank today."

"Maybe you wasted the day if you're hanging with Frank."

"Shut up, Ada." Carl whines as he moves her over so he can lie down too.

Ada turns to her right side while Carl turns to his left. They're left with a comfortable silence, knowing staying just like that helps them more than they can think.

"Frank blew most of his insurance money." Carl says.

"Of course he did."

"Got a nice car, a nice hotel, some drugs, and gave some plastic legs to kids or some shit." Carl says, annoyed. "We all could have really used the money."

"I know you could've." Ada agrees. "It'll be okay."

"I, uh," Carl tries to start.

"You what?"

"I'm selling drugs."

Ada pauses, lifting her head up. "You're joking? Carl. That shit's serious."

"I know, makes good money. You gotta help me with flashcards, Ada."

"I'm not your mom, I can't tell you to stop." Ada says. "Just don't anything too stupid, alright?"

"I won't."
   
Ada nods, snuggling back into his chest and they botth stay just like that. They stay just like that for the whole night, knowing their friendship will be one for the ages.
