it's been about three weeks since carl left for military school, and every day was completely boring without him. even till today i'm still bored without him.
i got off my bed and tried to remember fun things i used to do that didn't involve carl.
smoke? read? write? workout? (HAHAHAHA)..
things i used to do in the past didn't faze me at this moment.
HANGOUT WITH LIP!!
easy. hangout with lip. there hasn't been a time where me and lip fought, or got bored with each other. even though he's a couple years older, he never failed to give me a good time. (not in that way u dirty hoes)
i didn't bother to text him since he always either never answers or takes hours to respond. instead, i got ready and headed out the door and walked to his house.
--- i fast walked up the gallagher porch and reached for the doorknob.
"Y/N!" kevin called out right next to me from his house.
i gasped really loud and my body jumped in surprise at the loud outburst. i looked back at a dumb smiling kevin with his hands full, holding gemma and amy.
"sheesh kevin... could you be any louder?" i asked catching my breath.
"of course i could but that's too much work. how's everything kid? i haven't seen you around lately ever since carl went off to that shooting place with sweaty kids and shouting old men" he said energetically.
"you mean military school?" i laughed slightly. "but everything's good! i miss carl but i'm sure he's having fun being away from me." i said sarcastically, starting to open the door.
"haha, have fun kid. don't do drugs... unless it's the cool ones." he said smiling, putting gemma and amy in their strollers.
"no promises." i said walking into the house and closing it.
all of a sudden i collided with some chick that looked like she was leaving the house, we just happened to be opening the door at the same time.
a guitar case fell from her hands as she bounced back just a little, which surprised me since i'm tiny compared to everyone.
i waited a few seconds for her to pick it back up and for me to see her face.
"oh i'm so sorry sweetie" her voice was gentle and caring, making me feel welcome to continue talking to her. she was blond and older looking.
"oh no it's my fault i'm sorry about that." i said brushing off my face while tucking my hair behind my ear.
"i don't think i've seen you before, my names monica." she said sweetly.
wait. monica. i recognize that name. carl's mom? no one really called monica mom except for debbie. but really, this is not some random lady that happens to be in the house? she's supposed to be the crazy, bipolar, careless, woman who neglected the whole family? this sweet lady? my matches did not add up.

"oh i'm y/n, are you carl's mom?" i asked, trying to not be impatient to hear the answer.
"yes ma'am. where's carl by the way? or anyone as a matter of fact." she asked confused. "oh and frank, where is he too?" she said impatiently.
"well carl's in military school, and i'm not sure where frank is, he's probably down at the alibi room drinking." i was surprised at her for not knowing anything, but i couldn't blame her since my mom is the same.
"oh i was just about heading down there... but i guess i'll wait, let's talk? i've been a little alone lately." she said a little desperately with a smile on her face.
"i was just about to hangout with lip and i came here to see if he was here but i guess not." i said looking around the house, " so i'll be happy to talk to you." i said, telling the truth as we walked to the table, gladly sitting down.
"so, how do you know lip? are you guys dating?" she said with a smile, it was kinda creepy that her smile hasn't left since i got here.
"no" i said with a slight chuckle, "i'm actually dating carl. lips just a close friend of mine."
"ohhh i see. you seem about carl's age. i don't blame him though, you're a beautiful girl." she said nicely which put a smile to my face.
"thank you."
--- our conversation lasted a good 30 minutes until lip walked through the door and didn't look to see who was here. he went to open the fridge instead to grab a water bottle.
"i see you grabbed water instead of a beer." i said proudly, remember the bet we made of how he couldn't drink and how i couldn't smoke.
"yeah, still remember the bet. have yo-" he paused as soon as he saw monica.
"what are you doing here?" he said confused, but not quite too fazed by her presence.
"hi lip! you look older and so handsome." she said getting up to give him a hug, her sweet smile still not leaving her face.
lip looked unamused as he slightly moved his hand to give her a very vague hug.
"you wanna go somewhere y/n.." he said as monica released him. he seemed a little uncomfortable but careless at the same time.
"yeah that's why i'm here actually" i said standing up. "i wanted to hangout with you."
"alright let's go." he said quickly.
"awh you guys are leaving already?" monica said, her smile finally fading.
"yeah, it was nice meeting you. i hope you find frank." i said to her, giving her a hug that was much better than lips.
"oh yes thank you for reminding me!" she said quickly as she picked up her guitar case. "i'll see you guys later!" she said zooming out the door.
me and lip looked at each other. "what was th-" i said until he interrupted me.
