'I would but I'd rather not.'| Eight

*recap*

I heard a knock on the door. Carl nudged my side with his elbow.
Rolling my eyes, I got up and opened the door,"the fuck do you wan-" I paused, gasping softly, my eyebrows furrowed, "Olivia?"

*now*

"Olivia? What are you doing here?" I squinted my eyes, crossing my arms against my chest.

"I- uh. I got out of Juvie.." She awkwardly scratched the back of her head,"Avery said you'd be here.."

I heard someone run up and stand next to me. I looked over. It was carl, "Woah! You've been to Juvie?! For what?" He asked.

Olivia gave a small nod,"Uh, yeah and possession of unauthorized weapons or whatever."

I looked over at Carl, wishing he would shut up. His eyes were wide, a smile on his face,"Come inside! I want to talk to you!" He grabbed her hand and brought her inside,"I'll- uh- talk to you later, Brooke!" And there they disappeared into the kitchen, Carl bombing my unwanted sister with questions.

I shoved my phone into my pocket and walked out of the Gallagher house and across their yard into my own home. I slammed the door shut in frustration. I ran up to my bedroom and slammed that door too.

I went on my phone and went through snapchat.
'Olivia Grey - story - 2 mins ago.'
I clicked on it. It started with her and carl using the puppy filter then it went on to them laughing. Seeing her laughing with Carl made me feel.. Upset.
You see, Olivia was always the girl everyone wanted to know. She is beautiful, fit and mysterious. All of my friends would eventually leave me for her, as dramatic as it sounds, it's true. She has a way of luring them in and then she becomes distant and goes onto her next 'friend.'

A knock on my door disturbed my thoughts.

"Hello? Brooke? It's Debbie.. Can I come in or?"

"Yeah, come in." I replied, watching the red head step into my room,"Whatcha need?"

"Carl and that new chick were flirting so loudly in the living room, I HAD to get out of there." She scoffed, sitting next to me on my bed. I felt my heart sting a bit. Debbie must've noticed because she faced me,"Why are you so sad?"

Sighing, I run my fingers through my hair, "Everyone leaves me for Olivia and when I say everyone, I mean everyone."

Debbie rolled her eyes and stood up in front of me,"What happened to 'I don't like Carl." She mocked my voice and used air quotes around that sentence.

"I don't! I just don't want to lose my best frie- did you hear that?" I stood up and put my ear to the door. My front door swung open and I didn't hear it close. "It can't be my mom, she hadn't been around in days.." I grabbed my bat by my bed and Debbie grabbed the bat in my closet as we slowly make our way down the stairs.

"Hello?" Debbie calls out, tightening her grip on her bat,"Anyone there?"

We looked down from the top of the stairs and saw Carl and Olivia kissing beside the door.

Tears threatened to spill as I watched them kiss. I've never felt so sad about him kissing another girl.. Was it because she was my own sister? How could she do this to me.. I've written her about how much I liked him, why why why would she do this to me?

"Fuck." Debbie whispered, wiping my tears. Quickly a smirk was placed on her lip before she ran down the remaining stairs,"INTRUDER!" She screamed running towards them, swinging her arm and hitting Olivia's back with the bat.

I thought she was knocked out before I heard Olivia scream, "Ow, bitch you are going to pay for that!"

"What the fuck Debbie?!" Carl said, pushing her away.

I walked down, my bat in hand and turned on the lights.

Debbie giggled," oops. My bad" she winked at Olivia which made her lunch forwards, knocking Debbie over.

Carl stepped back, watching the scene unfold, "My money's on Debbie, what do you think?" He looked back at me.

"I think my sister is getting her ass beat." I smirked, placing the bat next to me.

Debbie was on top of olivia and she was throwing punches towards her face. She was winning until Olivia managed to flip them over, then she started punching Debbie. Debbie was struggling to get up and her face was no where near as bloody as Olivia's.

"I have to stop this.." I mumbled, stepping forwards.

"Yeah don't want your sister hurt." Carl nodded.

"I don't give a fuck about her, I care about Debbie." I spat, quickly turning back and trying to pull Olivia off of Debbie. Debbie told me to stop and she pulled Olivia off of her again, sending a few blows to her face before standing up and bringing Olivia's face into her knee,"Don't fuck with a Gallagher." Debbie got up, storming upstairs.

Carl rushed to her side,"babe, are you okay?"

"Babe?" I questioned, an eyebrow raised.

"We're dating." Olivia said, groaning In pain.

"Carl get out." I said, grabbing his arm in an attempt to pull him up.

"W-what, No! I have to care for my baby girl!" He stood up, arms crossed.

I grabbed my bat and held it up, repeating with an angry tone, "Carl get the fuck out of my house."

he backed up and gave Olivia a kiss on the cheek,"okay alright I'm out, see you tomorrow I guess.." He slowly backed up, glaring at me, closing the front door behind him.

"Can you help me up, sis?" Olivia asked from the floor.

I nodded reaching a hand out, only to pull my hand back before she could grab it,"Oooh, I would but I'd rather not." I muttered before walking upstairs to help Debbie.
