carl woke up in a haze. he'd been quite drunk yesterday and could already feel a headache coming up. he didnt really remember much, except her electric blue eyes and the shocked look on her face when she saw him. he sat up in his bed. he'd finally convinced fiona to let him have lips bed when he was away at college, it was kind of an upgrade from the top bunk, he didnt even fit in it anymore.  carl looked over at liam, his tiny brother, who was still sleeping. he looked so peaceful. carl got up and put on black jeans and a gray hoodie before he headed downstairs. fiona and v was and the kitchen, probably bitching about something carl thought to himself. and girl he wasnt wrong, this time it was something about the lesbos digging a hole in v's garden to protest about global warming or something in that direction. well they were gonna dig the hole but instead they found some of the weed ethel left behind  and it was a real crisis etc etc. "im going out," carl declared. the two of them turned to him they probably hadnt even noticed he was there. "where you goin?" fiona asked. "the alibi," carl simply responded turning his back on them. "yeah like hell you are," fiona said annoyed. "bye," carl said and closed the door behind him. he lit a joint and took a long drag, it calmed him down a little. he took in the view of his neighborhood. right above the gallagher house was the ghetto kids, he didnt really know any of their names, didnt really care either. a few houses down the street was sheilas house. karen got back a few weeks ago and there was this huge drama thing going on between her and mandy seemingly about lip, he hadnt focused much on the whole issue so he didnt really know what was going on. he hoped lip was okay though, he cared about his family more than anything. he walked down the streets of chicago until he reached the bar. when he entered he was greated by a loud outburst from one of the customers standing in the spotlight, frank. "my great progedy! everyone take a look at this bright man, has a young boy ever looked this upstanding!" carl felt a little embarrassed but this was the alibi no one really gave a shit about franks rants. "what do you want frank?" carl had learned not to believe a word that left his dads mouth over the years. he went over to the bar and sat down on a barstool. "what? can't a dad cheerish his son once in a while?" he chuckled and sat down in a stool right beside him. "how you been son? you still doing good at the corner?" frank asked winking at him, he'd always liked that carl was a dealer, proud nearly. "im good, ever since i got back from juvie my co workers havent laid a hand on me, j dog promoted me, i think he trusts me now that he knows id never rat him out," carl spoke. "thats great son! proud of ya!" then he turned to kev "pour something up for my son here, he's been promoted." kev looked at me with a little confused look on his face. "listen frank im not serving your underage kid alcohol, target is a few blocks downtown go buy him some soda instead." frank looked at kev like this was the worst blasphemy he'd ever heard. "how dare you, my son is a man of his own actions, if he wants alcohol in his system he'll have it! now stop acting like a prude and give the boy something to drink," frank stated. kev looked at us both with the same confused/annoyed look on his face, but he started pouring.
when carl had finished his glass he left the alibi and walked home. lip and debbie was the only ones home. "hi," carl greeted as he jumped onto the couch. "where the hell have you been," debbie asked. "the alibi," carl responded, "met frank." "i thought he was in russia?" debbie said. "apparently not," carl responded then went into the kitchen to grab a beer. "hey i was wondering if you maybe wanted to take me out to that nightclub you always go to, derek is outta town and im bored," debbie said still looking at the telly. carl stopped and kinked an eyebrow towards her direction and she turned to him and rolled her eyes at him. "what??" she said sounding annoyed as ever. "nothing .. nothing its just the combination of 'derek is out of town' and 'im bored' that interesses me," carl said smirking. "oh shut up," she said glaring at him. carl walked over to the kitchen table and picked up the daily newspaper. "soo are you going to break up with him?"carl answers, flipping the pages. "no!" she answers imediatly. "so you're not breaking up with him, yet you're bored. you're gonna cheat on him," carl states. "no god! what is going on with you today??" debbie replies throwing an empty beer can at him. "ouch," carl says, not that it hurt him. "i simply want to go out and have a little fun im not going to get drunk and fuck carl, there's the difference between you and me." carl glares at her but accepts her request. even though he'd never really admit this to debbie in person, he cares about her and he'd never let anything happen to her. not on his watch, if someone hurt her he'd beat the shit outta them no doubt.
carl walked up the stairs, he needed to speak with lip about what happened yesterday it always felt better when he had the elder brothers opinion on something, he also had to grab his stash before he headed over to the corner. he could hear noises coming from inside the room but it was his room aswell so he opened the door and walked in. karen squealed and got up, they were clearly having sex. "you know thats my bed too now right?" carl said to lip who'd gotten up and put on a boxer. "sorry bud wont happen again," lip responded not putting much truth into it. carl laughed. "uh listen i actually i wanted to talk to you about something but you're clearly a bit busy and i have to head over to the corner but can we take it later? its kind of important," carl told lip. "yeah of course," lip said sounding concerned. carl nodded. then he looked over at karen who was still clutching to the covers, but they slipped a little. "nice tits karen hmu if he fucks this up," carl said. she snorted and muttered 'perv'. carl grabbed his stash and left the room.
