I walked across the road in the blistering cold, tugging on my large maroon cardigan as the Gallagher house door flew open, revealing Debby wearing a bright pink robe.

" Sometimes I wonder about these kids" I laughed to myself as I stopped in front of the chain link gate, opening it up with a sudden squeak as I walked up the concrete steps

" EVERYBODY UP, COME ON" Fiona's voice carried out from the other side of the door as I opened it up, seeing Carl pulling a flannel shirt on. He faced me with a smirk plastered on his lips

" In your dreams Gallagher" I sighed, pushing past him as I instantly got greeted with the large amount of food on the table and the piles of bills

" Liv, you're here early, you don't normally come until idiot #1 and #2 are up" Fiona said as I sat down on an old wooden chair

" Mum was passed out this morning and I didn't want to deal with Dad" I said, shrugging my shoulders as Fiona placed Liam in a high chair beside me 

" I'll get the others up and we can have some breakfast" Fiona smiled, ruffling a piece of hair that stuck out of my beanie 

I rolled my eyes at the gesture as I faced Liam and shook one of his toys in front of him

" At least you like me Li" I smiled as Ian ran down the stairs, in only a pair of jeans. Loud footsteps echoed from upstairs which was normal in this house 

" Okay so i've got the entire streets papers, what else do we need?" Debby asked as she shook snow off her robe, smiling at me as she set the papers in front of me 

" Just go and get dressed Deb" Fiona said as she set a bowl full of cereal in front of me 

" You don't have to do this Fi, I can just get food on the way to school" I said as she put a hand up

" Liv, you're practically a member of this family you eat when we eat" Fiona said as Lip ran down the stairs and took the spot next to me

" Hi Liv" He said, pecking my cheek as Fiona set a plate with toast in front of him

" You know what would be a good breakfast? Mcflurries" Debby said as I faced her and nodded my head

" Now that is a good idea, next time i'll bring some" I said as Debby high fived me 

" Great idea, Liv ice-cream at 7 in the morning" Lip said from beside me as Fiona placed a bill and a small box in front of him

" Electricity's due" She said as I rummaged through my pockets and brought out $12

" Here, I can help" I said, placing my money in the box 

" Liv, you don't have to" Fiona said as I shook my head

" I practically live here Fi, I can chip in" I said as Ian came down the stairs with a smile plastered on his face 

" You know I can get a job to help pay for the bills" Carl said to Fiona as she sighed

" You can help pay the next bill Carl" She said, smiling as I finished off my cereal

" You ready?" I asked Lip as he nodded

" Ian come on" I said, grabbing my bag as Lip and Ian did the exact same thing

" I don't want any fights today, Olivia please keep them out of trouble" Fiona pleaded

" You know I will Fi" I laughed walking out of the house in between Ian and Lip 

" So how's my little gay friend?" I asked Ian as Lip snorted, taking a cigarette out of his jean pocket and sticking it in between his teeth

" Shut up Liv" Ian sighed

" You're about as straight as a bent ruler" Lip said as smoke came out of his mouth. I burst into a fit of laughter 

" You're a bendy ruler Ian" I laughed as a cool breeze hit me making me sigh and pull my cardigan around myself 

Lip noticed as he wrapped an arm around my shoulder, pulling me into his side as I rested my head against his chest 

" You two should just fuck already, you've been flirting since we were 13" Ian groaned, shoving Lip 

I looked up at Lip as he took a puff of smoke. I shook my head at the thought as we walked through the school gates

" Oh god Karen's going to be here" Lip groaned

" Maybe she'll suck your dick in the Janitor's closet" I said as Ian held back a laugh

" I shouldn't have told you, stop making jokes about it" Lip hissed as we noticed Karen waiting out the front 

" Say Hi to your girlfriend Lip" I smirked as I walked into the corridors with Ian 

We walked past Mandy Malkovich who was basically obsessed with Ian, I quickly hooked our arms together as I sent her a wide grin making her send daggers in our general direction. I smiled at Ian as he sent me a small smile back

" What's up Gallagher?" I asked him

" Nothing" He mumbled as I stopped in my tracks

" Nope, there's something wrong and if you don't tell me so help me god I will hurt you Ian" I said as Ian sighed

" I'm scared Liv"

" Scared about what? Your family finding out?" I asked as Ian slowly nodded

" Hey Ian, i'll be right by you when you tell them, when you told Lip he was cool with it remember?" I asked

" Liv, he was as high as a kite when I told him, i'm surprised he even remembers me telling him" Ian sighed, running a hand through his hair

" Okay true, but they're your family Ian, your flesh and blood" I said as I held my hands in his

" You're the best Liv, what would I do without you?" He asked

" Crash and burn probably" I laughed as the bell rang making us both sigh

" Algebra?"

" English" I mumbled as Ian sighed once again

" I'll meet you outside class" He said, kissing my cheek as I walked towards my class
