"Lip, your girlfriend is here!" Carl yelled up the stairs.
"I'm not his girlfriend, but okay,"I sigh. Lip came running down, withouta shirt and dressed in sweatpants.
"Hey, Laur, you okay?" Lip said looking at me.
"Um, I don't have anywhere to stay," I say, looking at the ground.
"Um, what do you mean? What about your dads house?" He said, making me sigh.
"Well, about that," I said sitting on the couch.
"He freaked out on me because I hadn't been home in a few days, because I've been staying here, and he was like you're not telling me where you're going because I know you're not at Karen's and like you need to tell me where you go and I was like no I don't and then he was like tell me or get out, and so I said bye and left." I say quickly.
"I would have to ask Fiona but I'm sure you can stay here." He said sitting next to me.
"If I can't it's not a big deal, Lip." I say looking down. I hated the feeling of being helpless. Like I needed to rely on someone. I haven't relied on anyone since my mom died. She was my rock and when she was gone, I was independent and that's the way I liked it.
"No, Laur, where would you stay? You're staying here." He sighed. He was right though, where would I stay? Like, I'm sure Shelia would let me stay at their house but would I really want to? I didn't have any other friends, I would literally be on the streets. I'm sure I could muster up enough money to stay in a hotel but that'd only be for a few nights.
"I don't know, I'd figure it out," I still haven't made eye contact with Lip.
Fiona walked in the back door.
"Hey, guys. Lauren you okay?" Fiona said looking at me concerned.
"Yea, can I talk to you?" Lip says getting up walking over to Fiona, probably asking if I could stay.
I didn't like being a burden on his life.
They had been gone for like 5 minutes talking and I had thought about leaving but I needed a place to stay and I'm here most of the time anyways.
He came running back in and jumped on the couch with me.
"You can stay here, princess," He says looking me in the eye. I like when he called me names like that. He doesn't often but, when he does I brings a smile to my face.
"Okay, I have all my stuff in the bag over there," I say pointing to the pink bag by the door.
I grabbed the bag and he led me upstairs to his room and we laying there on his bed in silence but, it was a comfortable silence. I wasn't in the mood to do anything and I was pretty tired already.
"Lip?" I says looking up at him.
"Yea, babe," He says, I continued to think about what I was to say, tracing his triangle tattoo on his chest.
"What are we doing?" I asked him.
"What do you mean?" He asked. I knew if I asked this I might not get the answer I wanted but, if I didn't ask it now I know I would never ask it.
"Like what are we? Dating, together, nothing, just friends?" I say, sighing, hoping he said what I wanted to hear.
"I like you, but if you want to just be friends it doesn't matter, but i just haven't had a girlfriend in a while or anything." He said.
"No, no, no I like you too and I want us to be something, I just want you to want it too," I look him in the eyes.
"Well then Lauren, do you wanna be my girlfriend?" I nod, kissing his lips softly.
I loved spending time with him. He seemed like he cared and there was not many people that cared. We had become to close and he has become a big part of who I am and who I am becoming.
He makes me happy.
* I guess after last night I had drifted to sleep. I woke up the next morning in Lip's arms and I remove them to get up and he moans and rolls over. I jumped off the bunk and grabbed my bag and made it to the bathroom and change my clothes into a grey oversized t-shirt with spandex shorts underneath and a pair or white converse. I did my makeup and straighten my hair like I do everyday.

I put all of my stuff in my backpack and go to Lip's room to wake him.
I hop on the bed and shake him awake. He slowly opens his eyes and grabs me and rolls me over to lay with him. He nuzzles his head in the crook of my neck.
"Lip! Stop my makeup!" I whine.
"Babygirl, you look perfect," He moans into my neck. He was never this affectionate with me before. I wasn't gonna stop him because I liked it but it was just different.
"Babe," I moan. He peers his head at me and smiles.
"I like when you call me that." He says.
"What?" I say confused, playing with his hair.
"Babe, I like when you call me Babe," He says.
I feel him smile against my neck and then I feel myself start to smile.
"We have school, Lip" I groan.
"So? We can skip," He said
"No, we can't," I say getting up, "Let's go."
I pull his arms and make him get up.
"Get up, or I will leave without you." I say grabbing my backpack.
"Oh my god, fine," He says getting up.
He gets dressed and We both make our way into school. -
