Shameless // Carrington // Siblings

The rest of the night was pretty calm. Ian and I stayed in our room for the rest of the night, we shared some secrets, or I guess he did. I don't really have any secrets, I can't keep my mouth shut that long. After a little while he started to do push ups while I read my bible.

It was quiet for the most part, I enjoyed the quietness. But like I've said a couple of times, the quiet doesn't last for long. While I was reading Carl ran into the room startling me and Ian.

Me and Ian just stared at him waiting for him to talk.

" Franks downstairs, and he's drunk" -Carl finally said.

" Ok? I mean Frank is usually always drunk" -I replied not looking up. " Just get Fiona to move him outside." -I added.

" I can't. She's not home, I think she's at Steve's tonight." -Carl replied.

Right, she has been spending a lot of time at his place recently.  I glanced toward Ian to see what he was thinking.

He just sighed. " Alright, come on, let's go put Frank outside." -He said getting up from his pushup stance.

I also sighed. Frank has really been getting on my nerves lately.
Ian and I trudged down the stairs and stared at Frank drunk, on the couch, with a beer bottle in his hand.

I sighed. I walked over to his feet and picked them up while Ian picked up the front half of his body. We walked outside and put him on the lawn.

" That takes care of that." -I said as Ian and I walked back.

" I guess. I'm going back upstairs."  -He said walking up the stairs.

I walked to the kitchen and sat down at the counter and started writing in my journal with my bible right next to me. I guess I dozed off because I woke up and Frank was standing in front of me.
I sat up and started looking around a little confused, until my eyes landed on the clock and saw it was 2:30 a.m. shoot.

" Frank what the heck and how the heck did you get in here?" - I asked standing up.

" Well hello to you too. I got in through the window. Why did you think you could lock me out?" -He asked me while waving a beer in his hand.

" Get out Frank before I go get Lip or Ian." - I warned him.

" Oh you don't scare me." - He said, then looking down at my bible on the counter.

" What's this?" -He asked picking it up with his free hand.

" That's mine, put it down." - I responded.

" Why in the hell are you reading this?" -He asked.

" That's none of your business. Now leave!" - I yelled.

Before I could say anything else he started to tear out pages.

" FRANK!!" - I yelled almost in sobs.

" What? It's just a book." - He said slurring his words together.

" It's not just a book Frank. It's what has helped me get through life. An you just ripped it apart, just like my life. Just leave." - I said with tears streaming down my face.

I sighed as I started to pick up the ripped pages off the floor.

After a little bit I picked up all of the paper and glanced toward the clock and it read 3 a.m.

I sighed and glanced over to the living room where Frank was sleeping on the couch.

I walked upstairs and into the room I shared with 3 of my brothers.
