shameless

chapter 2

My mother rushes into the room and had a worried look on her face, "shit, Alyssa, are you okay? Where you on that damn roller chair again?" She sees Carl helping me to my feet.

"Yes, she was, I told her not to, and to be careful but she didn't listen." Carl said responding back to the question my mother asked ME.

"I do it all the time, what's the big deal?"

"Hun, these are tile floors your old room was carpet."

"Yeah, I guess, but I'm fine, do we have any like nonroller chairs?"

"Yeah, I'll bring one up." Mother said beginning to leave the room.

"Wait, Ms...." Carl said getting my mothers attention.

"Oh, no, just call me Michelle."

"Well, show me where the chairs are and I'll be happy to bring one up." He said following my mother out of the room. I stay in the room looking through more of my boxes finding all the shit I need to put up.

This Carl kid honestly doesn't seem that bad, he is probably just trying to get on my good side though, he only wants one thing and that's not my love.

My thought come to a stop when I hear someone speak out my name.

"Alyssa, I got the chair, are you feeling okay? If not I can put the stuff up." He said putting the chair in replace of the roller chair.

"Oh, no! If it's to much to ask, I can do it." I stand up from my bed and get a bit dizzy I just about fell until Carl caught me and sat me back on the bed. I began to get a pounding headache.

"Are you alright there?" He said sitting beside me on the bed still holding my arm.

I pull my arm away and start to get up again, "do you think you could go ask my mother for some ibprofren for me, I need three."

"Sure enough." He left my room and I started to clean the tacks that fell on the floor from when I feel from the chair.

"Hey, I'm back." I turn around and he had his hand in a fist holding the medication.

I take it from him and get a drink of my water bottle that was settled on my night stand beside my bed. I put the pills in my mouth getting that awful taste that is coming from them, I grab my water before it totally washes away, I drink a bit of my water enough to wash down the mast medicine and a extra drink to get ride of the nasty taste.

"Alright." I turn around and Carl is on the chair taking up my tapestry.

"Could you hand me the lights? Is there any specific way you want then up?" I nod my head and hand him the lights.

"I'm just going to run them around the room, that's about it." I saw handing him more tacks as well as the Christmas lights.

"If you have a light in your room why are you putting up Christmas lights? It's not even near Christmas." He said chuckling and sending me a smile.

He has such a cute smile. And his eyes. My god. Whatever I can't like him. I don't, he isn't even that cute.

"I put them up because I don't like regular light, it just makes everything so bright. I prefer these because it makes it light yet it has a dark outline to my room." About the time I finish talking my mother walks in.

"Hey, what would you like for dinner tonight? Oh, and Carl you are welcome to eat over if you want."

"No, mom I'm sure he has a lot of othe-"

"I would love to!" He said. I look over at him and his famous smirk appears to bed forming on his lips.

"What should be have?" My mother asked again.

"Well you want to just eat out? Is there any fast food places near here?" I look at Carl directing the question to him.

"There is a 24 hour diner near here, if you want to eat there? I could pay for my half."

My mother quickly had something to say about that, "no! I can pay, honestly our treat, you have done so much for people you hardly even know." She spat out.

"Well, alright but I'll have to pay you back." He said sending a cheesy smile to my mother.

"Well, I am absolutely starving, can we go?" I turn and look at the clock and it's 7:30pm I want to get decent sleep so I am ready for school tomorrow.

"Yeah let me go change." My mother said pointing out all the paint stains on her shirt.

I plop on my bed and began putting on my shoes. Carl comes over and sits by me.

"You have a nice family, where is your dad?" He said turning his head toward me.

"I don't know." I saw not really wanting to talk about it.

"Hm, I see, seems like we have the same problem I don't know where my dad is half the time but when I do he is drunk as fuck. And my mother well she is just a bipolar bitch that tries to fuck everything up and everything always has to go her way." He said looking down at his shoes. I could tell it was a kinda soft spot for him so I changed the subject.

"Welp, you ready?" I get up from where I was placed on my bed and start to walk towards the door.

"Yes, I am." We leave my bed room and about that time my mother walks out of her room in a new shirt.

The car ride was a bit quiet until my mother broke the silents. "so Carl? How is your family? What are they like?"

He chuckled, "ma'am you don't want to meet my family they are some crazy bastards."

"How many of you are there?" I ask.

"Well there is me, my sister Debbie, my Two big brothers Ian and Lip and than there is Liam and than my big sister Fiona."

My mother interrupted before I could say anything, "well, that's a lot of people, what about your mother and father?" I look at her through the mirror and shake my head slightly so she notices but Carl doesn't.

"Well, they aren't really in the picture the only time I see my dad is when he wants money, and my mother well like I told Alyssa she is just a bipolar bitch that tries to get everything she wants." He said as the color faded from his face, I wonder who took care of all them, with no more or father around does he even have any supervision.
