GOOD TO HOOD ♕carl gallagher

Once my feet ached, I mean ached I stopped. I started feeling more energized. I felt happy and confident. I felt the need to laugh at everything. That was a feeling I had never experienced before. A complete mystery.

I felt hands wrap around my waist and I turned to see Carl. He placed his head on my shoulder and I embraced his softness.

"Time to go," he said.

"What? The party just got started," I whined.

"You're tipsy," he said and smiled.

"No I'm Hadley," I said and laughed. He laughed too. God was his laugh precious.

"I'm hungry," I told him.

"Then let's get something to eat," he slurred. He put his arm around me and we walked out the door. He was about to trip but most of his weight was on my shoulder.

We walked up and down the streets. Carl swore he knew where he was going. I ended up leading the way to his house. I went to open the door and Carl jumped in front of it.

"No!" He yelled and pointed towards the window.

We walked into the backyard and looked at all the lights off in the house.

He tapped the window and shook it around a lot. He then pushed it slightly and it popped open. He crawled in through the window and I did the same. He crept throughout the kitchen and opened the fridge. He threw me a box of cereal and we then sat down. It was dark and I could barely see my feet.

Then we heard footsteps. The bright light turned on and a man appeared. He crawled on the floor towards us. I was confused as hell but Carl rolled his eyes and slapped his forehead.

"And who is thisss?" The man asked slurring every word quite loud.

"Get out of here Frank," Carl said.

"That is no way to speak to your old man," Frank said.

"What is up my son?" He said stumbling towards us. I would be scared but by the size of this guy, I think I could take him.

I heard loud footsteps pitter down the stairs. Lip and Ian both had bats and their hands. Debbie had a shoe and Fiona had a dictionary.

"Carl what the fuck it's 3 am!" Fiona shouted putting the dictionary down.

"Yeah young man some serious explaining," Frank said.

"Hadley what are you doing here?" Debbie asked rubbing the tiredness out of her eyes. She stepped closer towards me.

"Carl and I went to a party," I said looking at him.

It got quite awkward quite fast.

"Look I need to get home goodnight," I said getting up and pushing in my chair.

"I'll walk you," Carl quickly suggested and leaped out the front door. We walked towards my house and I opened the gate.

We stopped in front of my house. It got silent. We both looked at each other not sure what to say. He slowly leaned it and so did I. I felt him place his soft lips onto mine.

I followed Carl's rhythm. We soon pulled back and he left me speechless once again. He then walked away and said, "Goodnight Lil mama."

I scrunched my eyebrows together. I made my way towards my front door. I took the key from under the doormat and slid it into the key hole. I turned the key sharply and heard the lock click.

I gently pushed the door open. My eyes widened when I saw my brother Kyle sitting on the couch. I held my breath knowingly he was going to tell on me. He stepped towards me and said, "This isn't the Hadley I know."

I got mad. "The girl you know? How would you even know what I am like if you never talk to me?" I yelled at him.

"Do I smell alcohol on you?" He said his voice raising.

"Oh my god Kyle so what? You do it," I said placing my hand on my hip.

He scoffed and walked into his bedroom and slammed his door. I walked into my cramped room and slowly shut the door. I paced my room back and forth and then ran my finger over my lip. I could still feel his lips placed on mine. I smiled and hopped into my bed, excited for the next day.
