Right next door { Carl Gallagher}

As I was moving the last box inside my new house I went up to my bed room and started to unpack everything.

As time gone by I had just finished unpacking and so I decided to go outside on my porch and draw.
Drawing usually get everything off my mind. You see I kinda hate my life.

Why you might ask. It's because my mom is just perfect.
People might ask me why she that a bad thing. Well let me tell you it is because she excepts me to be perfect too. But I don't want to be.

My mom would say that reason why we moved is because she got her job transferred, but she is lying.

The really reason why we moved is because my dad is in jail for murdering a guy. My dad was crazy in the head so maybe that's the reason why he did it.

So that's why me and my mom moved, so my dad wouldn't find us because my mom is scared of him.

Plus the other reason we moved was that I was doing bad in school so my mom wanted me to have a restart. It kinda makes no difference because she is always at work, she is barely home.

I was drawing in my book with my earbuds in listening to music. Then something or someone caught my eye. I looked and it was a boy that looked that age 18 or more.

He was waving, I guess to get my attention. So I took out my earbuds and I heard him say hey. I walked closer to his house but I was still on my porch.

"I heard that their was new neighbors moving in today. Are you them?" He asked

"You heard right, and yes I am the new neighbor, Dylan Moon." I said while holding out my hand for him to shake it.

Philip Gallagher , but you can call me lip." He said while shaking my hand.

"That's very original, I like it." I said.

Then he pulls out a cigarette and lights it up. He offers me one and I accepted. I pulled my face close to him and hit light it up for me.

"So how old are you?" Lip asked.

"14 " I reply.

"Your the same age as my brother and sister." He said

"Are they as cool as you?" I smirk while asking.

"Haha they wish they were as cool as me. But they are pretty chill. So who do you live with. " lip asked.

"It's just me and my mom." I replied back.

"Dad problems?"

"You can say" I answered back while still breathing the air of my cigarette.

"Don't worry me too and I also have mom problems"

"So who do you live with" I asked.

" it's me , my 2 sisters, my 3 brothers, and sometimes my dad comes over and also my half sister with her little son."

"O shit that's a lot."

"Yea but they are family and that all I got." He pause for a minute.

"If you want you can come over and meet the wak job of a family I have." He asked.

"Sure why not." I said.

"Well I have have to get to work so come over at 8 and I will introduce you to them. I have to go to bye Dylan."He said walking down his stairs and out the gates.

"Bye lip " I said in return.
I went back to my drawing and listening to music. It was 1 now so I didn't have to rush to get ready to me the Gallaghers.

Hope I can make friends.
