She's Not Afraid/ Carl Gallagher

I'll Go With You

Laci's pov
  I never thought I'd be one of those girls. One of those girls who got dressed up and went to a school dance. In my family Debs was always that girl; never me. But things have changed, I have changed. We were at the pre-dance dinner. Sitting at a fancy table with everyone dressed up. All popular kids and Fall Fling nominations for King and Queen. All the Queens had trench coats on hiding there dresses. That was some stupid tradition. But I was a part of it. I was nominated for Fling Queen and Logan Fling King. What has happened to my life;what has happened to me? A year ago Carl and I were making fun of this dance and smoking in random parking lots. This very night.

"Excuse me.", Logan says standing up. "I'd like to make an announcement."

Everyone quiets down. I think to myself what the hell is he doing?

"Six weeks ago I met a girl.",He tells everyone.

I blush. He's so sweet.

"I told her I love her.", he announces. "But now I need to tell her something else. Seven weeks ago the basketball team bet me to find a lame, ugly, desperate girl and ask her out. And that's exactly what I did.", he yells.

Everyone starts to cheer and they take out there phones and start taking pictures and videos. By this point I'm so furious. I can't even cry I'm so mad.

"Fuck you!!!!",I scream at Logan and run out.

Once I'm outside I rip my heels off and start running home. There's people outside taking videos and pictures of me. I run as fast as I can all the way home. I walk in crying and slam the front door closed behind me.

" What's wrong?!", Fiona asks very worried.

"Nothing!" I yell at her and run upstairs to Carl's room.

I don't even shut the door just crawl into his bed under the sheets and start to bawl. I haven't cried for two years. I hear footsteps and look up to see Carl standing in the doorway. He doesn't say anything just climbs up and crawls in bed with me. He wraps me in his arms.

"I don't know what's wrong but I'm here.", he whispers. "And whoever made you cry I'll beat there ass too.", he says.

I let out a little laugh through the tears.

"Room for one more?", Debbie says looking up at me.

I nod. Once she climbs in I tell them everything that happened and the tears slowly come to a stop.

"I'll kill him!", Carl yells when I finish my story.

"We'll help!", I here a guy's voice say.

I look down to see Fiona, Lip, Ian, Mickey, and even little Liam standing by the door.

I laugh and say " You guys didn't have to all come in here you know."

"We know but we were worried as shit when Fiona said you were crying.", Lip says.

"I wasn't crying.", I say jokingly.

Everyone starts laughing.

"We're gonna show that dick what he's missing!!", Debbie shouts.

"NOBODY MESSES WITH THE GALLAGHERS!!!!", Fiona screams.

Everyone cheers. Debbie and I climb down from the bed and go into her room. She takes of my smeared making and starts reapplying it.

  "And your sure this is necessary?" I ask as I tug at the dress clothes Lip told me to put on.

"Yes!" Everyone yells.

"Okay okay." I say.

   "Finished.", Debbie says proudly.

I look at myself. I look amazing for once. She did a beautiful blue eye look. And did loose curls in my brown hair. My dress is royal blue and very short.

"It looks amazing!" I say and hug her.

"Thanks.", she says and laughs.

"One problem.", I say. " I have no one to go with."

"I'll go with you.",she tells me.

"No, no you definitely won't." Carl says and walks in.

I look at him. He looks so hot. He's all dressed up and holding a box.

He walks toward me and says " I'll go with you."

I can't believe he would do this for me even after how I've been lately.

"Well can I come too?" Debbie asks us.

"Of course." I say

She grabs a pink dress from her closet and walks to the bathroom, leaving us alone.

"I brought you something. Sit down.", he says smirking at me.

I sit and he pulls out a new pair of white converse and slips them on my feet.

"Thank you so much!" I say and pull him into a hug.

"This is so cute!", Fiona says standing in the doorway. "Good thing I got it all on video.", she says holding up her phone.

Carl rolls his eyes at her. Debbie walks in wearing a pink dress with curled hair and light makeup.

"Let's go." I say.

Carl grabs my hand and we run down stairs.

Before we go Fiona takes a million pictures. Then she drives us to the school. We get out and start walking towards the school.

" Wait.", Carl says and turns towards me.

   This is it I'm finally gonna tell her.

" I'm in love with you!" I blurt out.

Oh god that was too soon she just got out of a relationship I think to myself. But then she leans in and kisses me and I kiss her back.

"Me too." She says smirking as she pulls away. "Let's go!" She screams grabbing both Debbie's and my hands and we run into the school.
