Nobody's saying our neighborhood is the Garden of Eden. Hell, some people say God avoids this place altogether. But it's been a good home to me, my junkie mom and the family I always wished was mine.

My mom. Where do I even start. Born an alcoholic and will forever be an alcoholic.

She is known around the southside as 'frank gallagher 2.0', some say they hit it off back in the day but I'd rather not think about thatbecause it's quite frankly disgusting.

She's never around and by that I mean never in the house that she apparently pays for. Practically lives in trash cans at this point.

Fiona. The sister I never had. I feel bad for her because of how much responsibility she holds but she's always reassuring me that it's fine.

Lip. He's literally the definition of being dim-witted. Very smart, straight A's and like the most annoying person ever.

Ian. My best friend since I turned up on his porch one day. Incredible work ethic. Loves comics and I have a sneaking suspicion he may love men aswell.

Debbie. Sweet. Lovable and kind. Never heard a bad thing about her. Runs for class president every single year and gets it. Maybe because noone else runs for it but we congratulate her anyway.

Carl. Very, Very strange child. doesnt stop coming up to me with random dead animals he found...or killed probably both knowing him.

Liam. Not much to say about him. Doesn't seem like Frank's kid but we love him anyway.

Kev and V. They are practically my parents at this point. Whenever my mom goes on a bender and the Gallagher's are way too stressed out about bills and stuff, they always let me crash at their place. Though, they...make alot of sound let's say...

And me. Bowie motherfucking monroe.  before you ask yes I was named after David Bowie and Marilyn Monroe.

My mom was on so many drugs when she gave birth to me that she named me after David fucking Bowie and the worst of all Marilyn Monroe. To add to that they were not prescribed drugs.

I'm just a fifteen year old girl trying to grasp whether she'll make it or not in this shit hole of a place. But it'll work out, it'll always work out because in everybody else's eyes I'm always fine. They never know what I'm truly doing or what I truly feel..

Me and the others may not have much, but all of us, to a man, knows the most important thing in life. We know how to fucking party !!

_________________________________

Police sirens blared throughout the distance making me cover my ears and start looking around.

"SCATTER" I heard Frank say drunkenly as I quickly grab onto Carl's hand and run with the Gallagher's presumably to their house.

"hey can I crash at yours tonight?" I ask Veronica.

"sorry baby me and kev are having some alon time...if you know what I mean" she says with a bit of a laugh as everyone slows down after seeing the Gallagher household in the distance.

"first of all what the fuck"

"second of all it's fine I'll just ask fi" i continue.

"see you tommorow B" she says while turning back to kev and walking into their home.

Everyone here knew that I hated the name I had so they didn't use it much unless they were mad.

I let go of Carl's hand and walk quickly over to Fiona.

"any chance I can crash tonight?" I say with a hopeful attitude.

"sorry B it's a full house"

"I'll...I sleep in the boys room...or...or the couch..plus if I sleep in the boys room I can share with Ian..he's probably fucking ga-" I joke quietly.

"I get it, I get it you can stay" she says not wanting me to continue.

"c'mon fi, he's gay are you blind" I say while laughing

"Bowie" she says sternly trying not to laugh.

"alright, alright mom" I say while sniggering .

We all walked into the house and instantly ran upstairs not wanting to deal with any of Frank's bullshit.

Me and the boys all walked into their room.

"sharing with me I guess?" Ian said knowingly.

"yeah I made a point to Fiona about how you might be gay" I say with a laugh as lip jumps up onto his bed.

Ian goes quiet and just nods and awkwardly chuckles. He grabs a joint and lights it while looking out of the window.

"you can't not share" i say with a smirk.

He passes it on and before I know it were are both lay in his single bed together. Now his wasn't weird as I knew I'd never be attracted to any of the Gallagher boys like that.

Plus I was 100% sure I was into women.
