Southside trash

Chapter one

Everyone here is Southside scum, You have either been to jail or know someone who has, If you are a woman and your not a teenage mom you're beating the Statistics of Chicago, things like gangs, foods stamps and welfare checks are the things we get recognized for having. I don't wanna be one of these people but I already am from the day I was born.

I've been living with the Gallaghers for quite some time now but I'm not actually one of them, I'm just Debbie's friend used be Carl's but he's kinda gone with the whole juvie thing like I said before these statistics we are just numbers . I alway lived down the street from the gallaghers as long as i can remember they have been here, since my parents went M.I.A in the middle of the night when I was 12 maybe fiona had taken me in as one of her own, I'm a " Gallagher" in sense .

It's a normal Saturday for me listening to music in my half of debs room which technically is "our" room but debs thinks it sound childish everyone is gone doing their own thing as usual. I sing with the song that's playing through the cheap Bluetooth speaker on my dresser. I'm just dancing around with Liam when I hear loud voices which I recognize it to Mikey and Ian's voices. " Rowan shut the fuck up !" Mikey screams at me through the door, I turn it off and pick up Liam "we were just having fun, huh?" I look at him he just shakes his little head in agreement. " let's move it downstairs" I laugh
We walk down to the living room, I set the speaker and Liam down and start making both of us a sandwich i sway my hips to the song feeling the music. I grab the knife with a swift swipe cut the sandwich vertical and split the bread apart and go to hand the other half to Liam when my eyes meet the gaze of someone familiar, it takes my brain to make the realization. "fuck Carl when did you get back" I say standing in awe my mouth gaping open. Carl's body shifts in noticeable discomfort. "uh few hours ago"
he says leading a big ass dude in to the house "I missed you" I say giving him a quick hug. "well , you got a little more to grab" he says moving his hand down closer to my lower back, I move from his grasps sitting back next to Liam at the table "she became a whore since you've been gone" Debbie blurts out walking in from outside " fuck you bitch just because I've had a boyfriend since he's been gone its not like I'm hoping from dick to dick Debbie" I say trying not to let deb give off impressions of me "you're on the pill I'm not on it yet and you have condoms in a bowl in your side of the room "she counters in a snide tone" I chuckle in disgust "hmm I don't know maybe there is this thing called safe sex you might want to be educated in it Debs " I say turning off the music "uh whatever I'll be in upstairs , come on nick" carl says shrugging it off I couldn't see his reaction " what the fuck is wrong with you debs making me sound like a damn street walker you know that's not fucking true " I say quietly yelling "nope I don't know that cause why else would someone wanna be on THE PILL" she says way too loud "I'm not arguing with you okay, my mom had me at sixteen do you know how old I am sixteen I don't want to be my mom I want to have a chance to be somebody in life" I say walking up the staircase.
