Bad Things; Lip Gallagher ♡[1]

Ever try to Play Pool with a Rope?

-Lip-
Who the fuck is this guy? Dick.
Veronica and I both saw the smirk and his eyes raked over Kirah but we had completely different reactions. Veronica grinned and wiggled her eyebrows at her while I just glared at him. I didn't like him at all, he seemed like a dick. Simon was just looking around, slightly confused, and I smirked, he's alright.

Ian suddenly ran in with the things Veronica needed and put them on the bed next to me.

"Thanks, sweetheart," she smiled.

As Veronica began to patch me up, Kirah ruffled my hair affectionately and gestured for Kyle and Simon to follow her. They did and I listened as they walked downstairs.

"Hey," I said to Ian.

"Hm?" he looked up at me.

"Check if they're outside."

He shrugged and opened the window, looking out of it. "Yeah," he said. "They're outside now."

"What are they saying?"

"Lip," said Veronica. "You can't listen in!"

"Yeah I can," I nodded. "Go on, Ian."

He bent over to listen and said, "she's thanking them for helping you. They said that it's okay and now she's saying that she'll see Simon at home and Kyle at school on Monday." Relief swept over me. "Kyle's asked Kirah what she's doing tomorrow night."

My heart stopped.

"Aw," grinned Veronica. "Go on, Kirah!"

Fuck.

"She's said that she's busy with you, Lip."

I calmed down slightly, we have nothing planned tomorrow but that must mean she's not into him, thank fuck.

"She's playing hard to get," said Veronica.

"No, she isn't," I argued. "She just doesn't like him."

"How can she not with a face like that?"

I frowned, he's not that great.

"Kyle has invited them to a party tomorrow night," said Ian. "I better be fucking invited."

"Fuck off, Ian." I sighed, "what did they say?"

"Simon seems up for it but Kirah just said maybe, it depends on how you're feeling Lip."

"Aw, bless her," smiled Veronica. "She'd do for anything for you, wouldn't she?"

Ian told us that Kyle and Simon were leaving and I smiled, both because I was happy to see the back of Kyle and because Kirah was looking out for me.

-Kirah-
The knock at the door turned out to be some people delivering a new washing machine which turned out to be from Steve, resulting in me saying that I liked him even more and Simon and I were apparently invited to a party at Kyle's friend's house. I didn't know if I could be bothered so I told him maybe and that it depended on how Lip was feeling, which was true. I wasn't going to leave him with a sprained foot or whatever and I didn't like to go to parties without him.

While Ian went to work at Kash's store, Lip went over to Karen's to help her fix a window, borrowing tools from Kash, and I sat at mine, bored as shit. My Mom was home since it was Saturday and she didn't start her weekend shift at the club until 7. Simon was up in his new room and Chloe was upstairs too. Mom began to cook some spaghetti bolognese when the phone rang. With a sigh, she answered it while I got a bottle of wine out of the fridge along with two glasses.

I poured the wine as she spoke, "hello? Oh, hey Lip."

She tossed me the phone before taking one of the glasses of wine and I held the phone up to my ear, sipping on my wine. "Hello?"
