THE SMELL OF PUMPKIN PANCAKES filled my nostrils as I arose from my deep sleep. I followed the sense of smell to the kitchen when I noticed Kyle was slaved over the oven flipping pancakes.

"Advil's on the counter," he said.

I instantly held my forehead and threw back the 2 tablets.

Kyle turned around facing me. His eyebrows furrowed.

"Damn your eye," he said pointing at me.

I held my eye and instantly felt pain.

I sat down at the table and he served me pancakes.

"Are these-" I said but was interrupted by Kyle.

"-Pumpkin Pancakes. Mom's recipe," he said. A smile forming on his lips once he said Mom.

I took a bite. It was amazing.

"Almost as good as mom's," I said with a smirk.

The room fell silent.

"About Last night Ley," he said placing his elbow on the table.

"What about it?" I asked.

"You were out of control. You need to pull yourself together," he said in a stern voice.

I looked down at my plate and played with my food.

"I'll do my best," I said.

Once I hopped out of the shower I grabbed my phone and scrolled down in my contacts looking for Carl.

I put the phone up to my ear and waited for him to pick up.

"Hello?" He asked still half asleep.

"Hey," I said kinda low.

"You free right now? Kinda need to talk." I asked him.

"Yeah, meet me under the L in 5." He said and hung up.

I put on a shirt and jeans. I threw on some old sneakers and put my hair up in a high pony. I grabbed my phone. I walked into the living room.

"Going out," I said reaching into the family saves jar.

"Where?" Kyle asked.

"Out," I hissed. I shut the door and started walking towards the L.

When there, I saw Carl and walked to him.

"Hey," he said.

"Hi," I said.

"About last night..." I said.

"You fucked up," he said.

I put my hand on my forehead and sighed.

"I know. I don't know what I was thinking," I said.

"Don't do that shit," He said.

I put my head down. Moments later he said, "Let's go do something."

I nodded my head. We went to a park near the L. It was a run down park, but what isn't in the south side? We sat down on the swings. We stayed at the park all day. When it was dark I decided to go home.

When I walked into my house I noticed Kyle and his friends were there. They all lied on the couch watching football and drank beee. I walked into the kitchen.

"I would totally smash her, do you see those boobs!" Sebastian said.

I rolled my eyes in annoyance. I made myself a sandwich. Shortly after Sebastian came into the kitchen. He walked towards me. I smelt the stench of alcohol on his breath.

"How are you and your boyfriend?" He slurred.

"Don't got one," I said feeling slightly uncomfortable.

He stepped very close. I didn't turn around but only focused on my sandwich.

"Does that mean I can do this?" He asked and put his hands on me and slid them down my back closer to my ass.

My eyes widened and I swallowed air.

I moved and shoved him.

He started laughing. I was walking to my room when Sebastian said, "Why don't you come hang with us?"

Kyle said, "You can hang with us if you want."

I stuttered my words. "N-No It's F-F-Fine."

I sat on my bed and my hands were shaking. I quickly found Carl's contact and put the phone up to my ear.

I started crying.

"Hey whats up?" heasked.

"Can Can I please come over. Right now," I asked.

"Yeah sure. Is everything alright?" he asked concerned.

"I'll tell you about it when I get there," I said and hung up.

I packed a bag and walked out of my room.

Tears flowed down my face and I tried my best to wipe them away.

"Where ya going?" Kyle asked.

"Gallaghers," I said.

Kyle sighed and took a sip of his beer.

"I can't believe you let your sister hang around that slum," Sebastian said. His words sent chills down my spine. I ran out the door and raced to their house. I knocked loudly on the door. Carl answered and I instantly hugged him. He seemed surprised by embraced my hug.

"Were you crying? What happened?" He asked he led me to his room and I sat on the bed.

"I was at my house and Kyle has his friends over. His creepy friend touched my ass and was trying to get me to hang out with him. I'm
sorry I called I just felt uncomfortable and I didn't want to stay there," I said crying.

"Don't be sorry, who is it?" He asked protectively.

"It doesn't matter," I said.

"Yes it fucking does. Who is it?" He said placing his hand on mine.

"Sebastian," I said.

His eyes got dark and he huffed.

"That fucking perv," he said.

"You can stay here as long as you need," He said. I nodded my head. I lied down on his bed. He lied next to me. He rubbed my back and held me close.

This was our first sleepover. Something I would remember for years.
