Alcohol | Gallagher sister*-discontinued-*

Twenty six

Debbie and carl came back downstairs with their bags packed. Dwayne led us outside to his truck and we all could hear lip yelling at Ian and Fiona from the backyard. We all hurriedly got into Dwayne's truck and he drove off to his house.

The ride was quiet and you could cut the tension with a knife. We made it to Dwayne's house and we got out of the car.

We made it up the front stairs and into the house.

Dwayne's sister was sitting on the couch with Dwayne's step mother and two brothers.

Dwayne walked upstairs with me, Debbie and carl following him. He led us to the guest bedroom and turned on the light. The room was a tan color with two beds in it. I set my stuff down on the floor by the bed I was sleeping in and Debbie followed my actions. Me and her were going to be sharing a bed. Carl set his stuff on the other bed. I left the room and met Dwayne in the hallway.

"Thank you." I say hugging him. He wrapped his arms around me and rested his cheek on my head. "You're welcome. I will always be here for you and your family. I love you Ivy." He says.

I looked up into his eyes and smiled. He leaned his head down and soon our lips met. It was a sweet gentle kiss but it was also passionate.

"I love you too dwayne." I say giving him a peck on his jawline. He smiled at me "you guys get some sleep. If you need anything you know where my room is." He said.

We shared one last kiss and he walked to his room. I smiled lightly to myself and went back into the guest bedroom, closing the door behind me.

I saw that carl was already ready for bed. And by that I mean he was just in his sweat pants. Debbie had her things ready in her arms and she was looking at the floor.

"Carl, can you leave for a second so me and debs can get changed?" I ask him. He nodded and left the room closing the door.

I got out my things and started to undress myself. Debbie started getting ready too and then she sat on the bed with her arms wrapped around her stomach.

I finished and looked at her. She looked deep in thought.

"Debs are you okay?" I asked her sitting beside her. "Um. I-I need to tell you something." She stuttered.

"Okay, what's wrong?"

"I'm uh, I'm pregnant." She says. My heart dropped into my stomach.

"And I know it's a lot of work and I know that this is a mistake but I'm keeping it. I will get a job and I will take care of it so you, Fiona, lip and Ian aren't as stressed." She rambles tears falling from her eyes.

I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her into my chest. "Debbie it's gonna be okay. I promise. I will help you if you ever need anything. I love you so much and I would do anything for you." I say.

"Thank you Ivy. I'm just so scared to tell Fiona. I don't want her to be mad at me." She cried.

I rubbed her back, "it's gonna be okay. When you want to tell her I will be right there beside you. I know she will be mad for a few days because she will be in shock but I promise that she will come to terms with it and support you too." I say.

Debbie pulled away and looked into my eyes. "Thank you Ivy. For everything." She said. I smiled at her and gave her hand a squeeze.

There was a knock at the door. "Are y'all done in there? I want to go to sleep." Carl said his voice muffled by the door. I rolled my eyes, "one second!" I reply.

I hand Debbie a box of tissues and she drys her eyes. I opened the door and carl came in flipping on his bed. I shut the door and climbed into my bed. "What's wrong with you guys?" Carl asked.

"Mind your own business." I said, shutting him down. He shrugged and rolled so his back was facing me and Debbie.

Debbie then slid into the bed next to me. I smiled at her and kissed her head. She smiled at me back and we both fell asleep.

By the time I woke up Dwayne's whole damn family was up and doing things around the house. Debbie was up too and was brushing her hair in front of the mirror.

I changed into my day clothes quickly while car was still asleep. Then I started to shake him awake.

"Carl get up." I said shaking his arms vigorously. He groaned and rolled over, his eyes still closed.

"Carl I'm not asking you again, get the fuck up." I said. He huffed and did as told changing into his day clothes and sitting on the bed with his arms folded.

"Alright you guys ready to go?" I asked them. They both shrugged and I sighed.

"I'm sure that lip has calmed down. If he hasn't we can go to the movies or something to pass the time." They nodded and we walked out of the room. Dwayne was standing outside the room and smiled at me when he saw me. He walked up to me and gave me a kiss, placing his hands on my waist. I kissed back and giggled whenever I heard carl making gagging noises.

"Shut up carl this is sweet." Debbie said with heart eyes. I smiled at my two siblings and kissed Dwayne's cheek, "thank you for everything dwayne. I mean it, I love you so much." I say as Dwayne leads us to the back door and out the gate.

"It's no problem sweetheart. Come on, I'll take y'all home." He said. I nodded and we all loaded our stuff into his truck. He opened the door for me and I got in, him closing the door.

He got in the truck and started driving us back home. His hand was resting on my thigh the whole way back. I smiled at this, it was comforting and it made me feel special.

We pulled up to the house and I sighed.  Debbie and carl watched me for instructions. "Let's go." I said unbuckling my seat belt and waiting until Debbie and carl were out of the truck, moving to the tailgate to get their things.

"Dwayne thank you, for everything." I said once again. He gave me a smile and we kissed. I squeezed his hand before getting out of the truck and grabbing my things.

As the three of us walked up to the house I turned around and waved at dwayne. He waved back and blew a kiss. I caught it and blew one back, he caught it and put it to his heart. I smiled and turned around.

I walked up the steps and put my ear on the door, listening for any movement. There was nothing.

I nodded at my siblings and we entered the house. I turned and waved at Dwayne one last time. He waved again and drove off slowly. When he was gone I shut the door and made my way upstairs with my siblings.

Debbie went to her and Liam's room and me and carl went to ours. We walked in and I set my stuff on my bed. Ian was in there sleeping so me and carl tried to be quiet.

But of course, luck wasn't in my favor. I bumped into the dresser and a book fell of the top of it, making a loud thud. I winced and looked at Ian, who was now sitting up and rubbing his eyes.

Carl looked at me gave me a smirk. I rolled my eyes at him and looked back at Ian who was now staring at me.

"Where were you two and Debbie last night?" He asked.

I sighed, "we stayed at Dwayne's house since Lip was going fucking crazy." I said sitting on my bed with my arms crossed.

Ian nodded, "but you still should've told me or Fiona. We were worried about y'all." I chuckled and rolled my eyes.

"Yeah, well you two were busy yelling at lip and I wanted to get them out." I said. At this point Carl had left and Ian was standing with his arms crossed.

"Okay Ivy." He said, guess he didn't want to argue with me. He left the room and shut the door, leaving me alone.

I shook my head and rolled my shoulders. Then the tears started coming.

Why am I such a fuck up? What the hell is wrong with me?
