Whatever was going on upstairs with Carl and Dominique, was lasting a lot longer than Ada thought. She was going to give him one minute tops to - well, finish.

Not wanting to stick around, she opened the bathroom door, shoved her phone back in her pocket and walked downstairs.

Getting ready to make soup for Liam, the front door opened to find Ian helping Lip inside.

"Lip!" Ada says, rushing towards the boys. "You okay?"

Lip gives the girl a side hug, pushing Ian away, resulting Ian in rolling his eyes. 

"I'm alright, Ads. Where's Carl?"

"You don't wanna know."

"Huh?" Ian chimes in.

Hearing footsteps raising down the stairs, Carl runs down to be meeting with his brothers and Ada.

"Either of you guys got a condom?" He asks.

"What?" Lip asks.

"A condom." He repeats. 

Ada rolls her eyes, trying to act busy looking at whatever's in the fridge, which is not much. Reminding her to go grocery shopping later.

"Did he say a condom?" Ian asks, looking at Ada and Lip."

"Yeah." Lip responds, taking a sip from his beer.

Ada grabs the beer, taking a chug of it. "I guess so." She responds blandly.

"You got a girl in your room?" Ian asks, proudly.

"Yep, she only brought one."

"Maybe that was a sign to stop after the first round." Ada says, nonchalantly - resulting in the three boys giving her a confused look. 

Ian pulls out his wallet, giving him two condoms. "Here you go, two."

Without responding another word, Carl runs back upstairs.

Lip and Ian chuckle.

Lip asks the girl, "Is that his first time?"

Ada bluntly responds, "Yeah." Opening the cabinet, grabbing a bottle of vodka and walking away.

"Fuck's wrong with her?" Ian asks, almost wanting to grab the alcohol away from her.

"She's a teenage girl, who the fuck knows." Lip says.

All Ada knew in this moment was that she needed to get away from everyone. From her mom and her dad, the Gallaghers, from being sober. She didn't know why she felt so upset about Carl and Dominique, she didn't know why in the pit of her stomach she felt hurt by seeing the two together. She missed him. She missed him being himself, and Dominique took him away from her. She knew him since she was a kid, she did everything with him; and now she barely talked to him. Why was she so upset? She had Maxwell. 

Ever since she sent the first time, he asks like every night to send more. Ada felt like she was being taken advantage of or whatever and told him exactly this:

"If you ask one more fucking time, I kick your balls until you cry."

Needless to say, he hasn't been asking anymore.

Slowly taking sips from the vodka, she was probably four shots down by now, Ada started to finally find the feeling she was searching for. Feeling absolute nothingness.
