The Twin | Shameless

I.

OUTFIT^^

"Guys get up before you're late for school!" Yells our sister, Fiona. I slept with my twin last night after waking up to a nightmare. It was awful, I'm still shaking to honest. "Come on, Rosebud," says Carl, my twin and Lip were already running for the bathroom for the shower. I smile weakly, I love my siblings. "I'm getting up," I say stretching and I go to my and Debbie's room, also Liam's. She was just getting up herself. "Where were you? I hear crying," she says as she gets ready. I kinda tense up, and I'm sure she saw.

"It was nothing, okay?" I say before quickly changing out into my outfit. Debbie and everyone is eating, I sneak my way into the bathroom and pull out my razer. Tears build up and I kinda just cut until my arm is nearly full of cuts. I stare at the flowing red blood, I didn't want it ruining the floor. I hurriedly wash, I hiss at every touch of water. I can hear someone coming up, I hurriedly stop and pull my sweater sleeve down. I open and jump as I come face to face with Lip. "Whoa, slow down. Come on we're leaving," he says. I let out a breathe I didn't know I was holding. I grab my bag, my way downstairs. I hand Fiona money. "What's this for," she asks. "For the house," I say.

"But that money is for your new journal Rose, I can't." She begins to protest. "No, its okay, its fine. My family is more to me than some journal, besides it doesn't matter," I say quickly leaving with my siblings to school. And school was like it always was; Hell.

Me and my siblings all had our separate ways to class, me and Ian had same classes expect for English. He pulled out, he's real smart. Me? I struggle, I swear I'm too stupid for the real world or anything for the matter. I go my locker and open it to get my text books. When,

Slam!

I jump and turn and see some kid as they shoved me and kicked into the lockers. They laugh with their friends leaving me whimpering against the lockers. "Aw is the stupid little girl gonna go cry to her parents? Oh wait, they aren't there cause they don't love her, and her daddy is the town's drunk, I bet she's just the same," says Savanna Jolla. She's the Queen B of our school, besides that Holly bicth. Her little gang laughs like it's the funny thing they heard.

"I bet the only reason her brothers stay with her, is causes they're force to." "I bet she's pays them." "She's adopted." Whispers filled my ears from all around, they all made me feel so small. "Aw is Rose gonna go play with her only true friend, Mr Raver? I have some new friends for you, I call them Miss Pills and Mr Goner," Savvana laughs throwing a bottle of sleeping pills at me. The bell rings and everyone rushes to class, I get up and close my locker before going to class.....

The classes were just getting harder and harder without Ian being by my side. Apparently his schedule was changed and I was on my own. People whispered about me and through things at me, I wasn't able to pay attention. I couldn't listen or think straight. Lunch came and I was more tense than before. Me, Ian, and Lip all sit together, I grab my lunch. But I don't open it at all, I felt so weak and dizzy. I try to push it out as I hear. "Rose, eat please, " says Lip catching Ian's attention. Both their eyes stared at me. "I ate some my lunch in my last class," I lie. My eyes stare to Penny waited at the lunch room arms crossed. "Excuse me," I get up and grab my things quickly leaving to the hallway. Penny slaps me, leaving my cheek red as my hair. "Where's my lunch, bitch?!" I had her my lunch, she kicks me one last time and walks off. I just wanted to lay here, almost dead.

I pull my self together as I go PE next. My stomache and back were sore and my vision was blurry more than ever.
We were running, I was fastest kid in my grade. I was done and breathing heavily when I hear it. "She's so fat." "She needs to exorcise more, look at her." It pushed me, I began to run more. We were only suppose to do 3 laps. I was now up to 5. "Hey Gallagher," coach O'Conner yells. People snicker thinking I'm trouble. I run over, my ears buzzed and I couldn't see.

"You aren't looking so hot, you okay?" He asks. I kinda just sway back and forth, next thing I know is darkness....

●●●●●

When I came around, I was in the school nursery. I groan. "Oh Miss Gallagher, your brother is waiting for you," says the school nurse. "Which one?" I ask. "Phillp," she says. I nod and get up, I was still a bit dizzy. I walk and Lip was waiting. "I'm gonna drive you to Ian's work, he says his boss was nice enough to let just chill okay? No dramatic shot okay?" He says stern. I nod feeling like he's mad. We get in his car and the whole ride was silence. When we stop, he hands me some money. A few bucks...

"What's this for?" I ask taking the money slowly. "Food, I want to eat got it? And I'll make sure Ian tells if you don't," he says stern like a father scolding his child. "Okay....." I mumble before getting out and walking into Ian's work. "Hey lil sis," smirks Ian.

"You're only a few minutes older," I say walking down the aisles in search of something worth eating. "And by minutes you mean hours and by hours you mean exactly 4," he says. "Shut up," I say, he laughs. I pick some tea and sadly, some gummies. I bring them to the counter and hand Ian the money.

"I'm glad you're eating," he smiles weakly and sweetly, taking the money. "Yea...." I breathe out. We spent the rest time kinda goofing off, you know being twins. We head home and Laim was screaming as Debbie and Carl hit each other, Lip was still not home. "Jesus! Debs, Carl the heck?!" Ian separates them, I calm Laim down before taking him to our room. "Don't worry, Liam one day we'll all be somewhere better, you'll have a nice big house. You'll have a wife or husband and kids and maybe even pets," I say calming him down as he fell asleep. I sigh with relief, before getting up and walking downstairs to find Debbie and Carl shaking hands. "What in Hades name was that all about?" I ask.

"Some disagreement about some show, don't worry I took care it," says Ian before going upstairs. "Wait! Ian the money!" I call after him as Debbie sits in the living room watching tv and Carl goes outside to probably explode something. He throws some money and I put it in the box.

I fell asleep with Debbie in our room until we heard Fiona come home with V and some guy. We all get up and go downstairs. "How many of you are there?" Asks the guy, he sounded strange and deep.

"6, all my siblings," says Fiona.

"Lip."

"Hi," he nods.

"Debbie."

"Why is your hair like that?" She asks.

"Carl."

He doesn't say anything but kinda stares giving him the chills.

"And the twins, Ian and Rosalie."

"Hey." We say at the same time which creeps him out more.

"Thats freaky," he says.

"It happens more than you think," whispers V to Steve.

Soon Fiona all pushes us to bed. Lip stops me as the others all go. "You know Ian, he's gay right?" He whispers. "What he is? Did he tell you?" I rant. "Kinda not really, I found his porn I gues and well yea..." he trails.

"No, he would have told me. I kinda saw it, but still." I say. "I mean you and him are the only ones who know I'm bisexual," I say. "And I was happy you could come to me, when he couldn't," says Lip hugging me. It's moments like this I love with my brothers. We say good night and fell asleep expect knowing my own twin couldn't trust me haunting me and pulled me away from sleep....

It was one restless night.....
