Lost and found

Chapter 9 - Carl: I swear to god

N/a: Hey readers! I hope you are still reading this. I just wanted to lyk I had a little break but I hope you're still ready and eager to read more about Liv and Carl's journey. If you need a little summary: Carl and Liv just spent the night together (but they can't remember anything). And Debbie just came to pick Carl up from a night at Casey's. Carl just found out that Liv/Olivia is his soon-to-be stepsister! 

Carl Gallaghers POV

Okay, a quick disclaimer. I didn't know that Olivia is my soon-to-be step-sister. I mean how the fuck am I supposed to know? I can't remember shit from last night.

"That was low of you Carl," Debbie mutters, still walking in front of me in this unknown neighborhood.

"Debs I swear to god I didn't know!" Defending myself catching up to her quick pace. As a pregnant woman, she can walk fast.

"You don't believe in god," she says stopping in her tracks.

Debbies wearing the dress from last night. But has a sweater on top. Probably Caseys because the logo off-white is visible. So she spent the night at Caseys, interesting.

"Ok I swear on YOUR life I can't remember anything!" Telling her the truth.

"Well I do, would you like me to explain what I remember?" Debbie counters, the wind blowing in her auburn hair.

Spring is almost here. Each day is getting warmer. Do you know what that means for me? Getting girls at pool parties. My favorite time of year.

"Basically you and my step-sister hit it off hard! But don't worry I wasn't jealous or anything. You guys kept drinking and drinking. You even got Casey hardcore drunk. Way to go! Then I had to take Casey home before she started throwing up on you guys. So we went our separate ways. That's it." Debs blurts out without hesitation.

Making a slight 'Oh' shape with my mouth to let her know I heard everything clearly. So things didn't get too crazy from what I heard. Gallaghers always party hard. It's in our blood. Picking up the pace I lead Debbie to the subway station a few blocks from here.

"Aren't you gonna call Fiona? Telling her about what you've done," Debbie demands reaching for my shoulder to turn me around.

"For what? Telling her I kissed my step-sister? Nah I'm good," Shaking off her hand to approach the subway.

All I want to do right now is go home to our shitty house and take a fucking shower. Is that so hard to do? Debbie can suck a dick, I'm not in the mood for scolding.

"That is exactly why you should, she's the eldest she will know what to do!" Debbie's voice trailing from behind me. She's not gonna give up until she gets her way.

"Debbie you're not my mom, and Fiona isn't either. I can do what I want!" I groan, steps getting quicker.

"Your right OUR mom left us when we were babies. But who takes care of us? Fiona! She is our fucking legal guardian. So she has the right to know Carl!" Debbie pleads practically begging me to call her.

"Why do you care so much? You're in a fight with Fiona, remember, Fiona doesn't even want you in the house!"

"She's our sister Deb. I love her guts deep down," I reveal, hesitant to open up. I stop when I see the bus station sigh. Ah, one more step until I can rinse off the memories of last night. The goddamn best fucking memories.

"Aw does that mean you love me?" Debbie cheers as she stops behind me, and sits down on the stool offered at the bus stop. The walls of the little shelter are glass, making the warm weather warmer here.
