The other Gallagher

Money troubles

"GOD DAMIT FRANK!!!" I Hurd Fiona yell from downstairs. I got out of bed and walked downstairs quietly. once I got to the third to last step I sat down and listened. "it's not my fault, those fags ripped me off." frank said to Fiona. "yeah sure like everything els isn't your fault right. also it's not called ripping you off if your gambling all your i mean OUR money." She said back in a pissed off tone and walked to the stove to make breakfast. "come on Fiona your overreacting now, it wasn't all my money just.... well I still have 25." he said back in defense. "25 thousand or 25 dollars." she asked him rolling her eyes. He just walked to the fridge for a beer. I stood up and started acting like I'm walking down the stairs but as I was about to go down Carl pushed me and I feel on my face on the hard kitchen floor. "Carl what the hell!" Fiona yelled as she walked over to me and picked me up. he just chuckled and smirked. Fiona rolled her eyes at him. "how about you go take a hot shower before Carl can." she whispered to me. "and Carl your gonna have to watch Tilly today I have to go to work. ms make sure frank doesn't take any more of our money." she said to Carl as she finished up cooking our breakfast. "i have to work to." Carl said in defense to her. "you said you work at some fruit stand just keep an eye on her." she said grabbing her coat and giving me a kiss. "a weekend is supposed to be fun." Carl wined to her. she rolled her eyes, ruffled his hair and walked out the back door. carl turned to me "go take a shower and get dressed your coming to work with me." he said and turned back to his plate of bacon and eggs. "Can I have some of the fruit your selling at work?" I asked as I walked up the stairs to my room. "ha if I give you some of the fruit I'm selling Fiona would kill me." he said and chuckled. I ignored him grabbed some cloths and walked to the bathroom as Debbie and Ian pass me and walk downstairs. I shut the bathroom door and put my cloths down. I turned on the shower, got undressed and stepped in letting the hot water hit my small back. I washed and conditioned my hair and stepped out. I grabbed a towel and turned off the shower. I dried myself off and put on a small nirvana crop top, overall shorts thing, black vans, and a red bow head band. I put my hair up in a messy bun. (the outfit is in the picture box thing and she's not wearing the backpack because she's not going to school, it's the weekend.) I brushed my teeth and threw my dirty pjs and towel down the laundry shoot. I walked downstairs and into the kitchen. "hey." I said to Debbie and Ian. "hi." they both said to me. "where did all the food go?" I ask because their was none on the counter anymore. "we ate it." Debbie said. "I didn't get any." I said kinda sassy. Carl gave me a look because he gets annoyed when I wine. I rolled my eyes. Carl stood up "let's go Tilly." he said grabbing some cloths off of the dryer and walking towards his shoes. "but I didn't eat anything." I said. "What do you want me to do throw up the food in your mouth." Carl said sarcastically. "god no." I said discussed. he laughed and stood up, he walked towards his plate picked up a half eaten pice of bacon that was his and shoved it in my mouth. "let's go go." he said annoyed. I chewed the bacon and swallowed. "I'd prefer bacon that doesn't have your germs all over it." I said following him out the front door. "well you asked for food and I gave you some." he said as I was trying to catch up to him. once I caught I asked him "what are those cloths for?" "Oh their for my job." he said looking down at the blue polo shirt thing and light brown pants. we walked down to this street that had a bunch of guys leaning agents a wall. I grabbed Carl's hand and stopped him. he faced me "what!" He whispered impatiently. "this isn't a fruit stand." I whispered furrowing my eyebrows at him. "Yeah I know I kinda lied just don't tell Fiona ok." he whispered to me. I nodded and we continued walking towards the guys. they were wearing saggy jeans and big shorts and tank tops. "Carl." one of the guys said walking up to us and doing some sort of handshake with him. "what's up." Carl said to him. "nothin man, go get changed and why did you bring a little kid?" The guy asked. "she's my little sister and I have to watch her because no one else can." he said rolling his eyes. the guy nodded and walked back to the wall. I started walking towards the guys but Carl pulled my arm back. "I have to change come with me." he said looking back at the guys. I nodded and we walked over to this little dumpster. he took off his shirt and changed into his blue shirt. "what do you actually do for your job?" I asked him as he took his pants off and slid on the light brown pair. (don't worry he was wearing underwear lol) "i sell drugs." he said wile buttoning up his pants. "isn't that like kinda agents the law?" I asked as we walked towards the guys. "yeah only if you get caught." he said chuckling a bit. I nodded and walked down to the wall with him. The guy handed him and little plastic bag with I guess some kind of drug in it "50$ no exceptions." they guy said to Carl. he nodded and held onto the bag. I leaned agents the wall with them but I probably looked really stupid. a small white dodge pulled up and rolled the widow down, Carl walked up to the window with the bag "$50 for a quarter of it." Carl said to the guy. the guy handed him 50 bucks and Carl pulled out one rolled up thing that looked like a tiny piece of paper. once he got the drugs he rolled up the window and sped away. Carl walked back up and Leaned agenst the wall. "wow. why do you have to do this?" I asked Carl looking up at him. "did you not hear, we have really bad money troubles because of frank. I need to contribute." Carl said to me. I nodded. "I need to contribute to" I was thinking to myself. another guy in a black jeep pulled up and Carl walked towards it. I looked to my side and saw a black backpack filled with bags of drugs. now it's my turn. I grabbed a bag and walked up the little hill. their were more people who sell drugs up their so I walked over. none of them had any drugs. a little black car pulled up and I walked forward. "$60 for one." I said to him through the rolled down window. "is this a joke?" The guy said. I showed him the bag "does it look like one?" I asked smirking. "alright fine." he said and rolled his eyes. he handed me 60 dollars and I gave him one of the drugs. he drove away and I turned to see all the guys with big eyes. I just smiled and walked back down the hill with the cash and bag of drugs. "Tilly wear the fuck were you!" Carl yelled as I walked down the hill. "when did you start caring?" I asked. "well I don't want you to die so I kinda always did." he said rolling his eyes. "well I just thought I should contribute to." I said and handed him the 60 bucks. his eyes went wide and he smiled at me. he grabbed the bag of drugs and tucked the money in his pocket. he put the bag of drugs back in the backpack and we started walking off. "wow Tilly you actually did something good." Carl said to me still smiling. "Yep." I said smiling to myself. "thanks." he said looking at me. "your welcome." I said back looking up at him. "you just can't tell anyone we did this ok." he said to me. "ok." I said like it was no big deal. "Hey Carl I need to pee." I said as we walked towards a gas station. "ok." he said. "I'll stay here just be quick I don't want to wait." he said. I nodded and ran in. I didn't go to the bathroom though. I walked into the candy and chip section and shoved some candies in my overalls. I kept looking at the cashier but she was to busy trying to flirt with a costumer. I casually walked out and ran over to Carl. we started walking and I pulled out a bag of m&ms for him and one for me. "you stole these." he said with a smile wile opening the bag. I nodded and opened mine. he chuckled as we walked home. once we got home the sun was setting. we stepped inside and saw Debbie and her boyfriend on the couch making out. she was straddling him and he was about to take off her shirt before me and Carl said "get a room" at the same time. "CARL TILLY GET OUT!!!!" She screamed as she got off of her boyfriend and his face turned super red. we started laughing. "um I don't think so this is our house." Carl said as we both walked to the kitchen. he pulled out all the money as I took out the rest of the candy I stole. we put it on the table and asked Debbie if Fiona was home. she was upstairs so we called her down. "look what we got." I said to her as I jumped up and down by the table. Carl was sitting in a chair counting the money. "wow how much is it Carl?" She asked him surprised. "Its about $160 in total pulse candy." he said looking up at her with a smile. "and that's for like 4 and a half hours." She Said with a smile. she grabbed the money and stuffed it in the squirrel fund jar. "So what do you guys want for dinner?" Fiona asked as she put the jar away. "I don't care." I said. "ok how about I make pasta?" She asked us. we nodded and she started making it. Carl started walking upstairs and stopped and looked back at me. he motioned me to come with him so I did. he walked into his room and we sat down on Ian's bed. "wanna fuck with Debbie?" Carl asked. "yes!" I said excitedly. he nodded. we walked into the bathroom and Carl opened the little mirror that had medicine and bandaids and stuff. He pulled out a box and smirked. he closed the mirror and we walked back into his room. "do you know what these are?" Carl asked me. "yeah, how could you be a Gallagher and not know what a condom is." I said and he laughed. "ok well Debbie's in their with her boyfriend so we're gonna take all of these out of the box and shove them under the door for her." he said smirking a pulling them out. he handed me a strip and we walked to her door. we pushed them all under the door and knocked on it then ran back to his room. We were laughing really hard. when we stopped Carl asked me "can you sneak downstairs and go to the fridge and grab us some beers?" I nodded and walked quietly down the stairs and snuck behind Fiona and grabbed 2 beers then ran back up the stairs and to his room. he opened the door and then shut it. I handed him his beer and he opened his. I tried to open mine but I couldn't. He took the beer from me and opened it then handed it back to me. we both drank our beers and walked down the stairs once Fiona called us down for dinner. We ate our pasta and Fiona told me to get ready for bed. "why do I have to go to bed and they don't. I winded and pointed to Debbie and carl. "because their older just go get ready now." she said. "fine." I mumbled walking up the stairs to mine and Debbie's room. I opened the door and saw all the condoms. I laughed and changed into one of Carl's old shirts that don't fit him. it had skull hands that had the middle finger up. it was my favorite of his that I use. I brushed my teeth and walked back downstairs to say goodnight. I hugged Fiona then Debbie and then Carl. "your actually pretty cool." Carl said to me as he hugged me. "you to." I said as I let go. "goodnight everyone." I said as I walked upstairs to my room. I hopped in bed and turned off the lights. I shut my eyes and let the darkness take over.
