kind of a badass//Carl Gallagher

The sun shown through the house. i was somehow moved to one of the rooms while i had been past out. Carson was on the rocking chair in the room with posters of old films, sound asleep. He looked quite uncomfortable. So, i stood up, walked over to him, shook his arm. "Hey, Carson, wake up dude that does not look comfortable." He opened his eyes slowly and smiled up at me. "Thanks." He spoke with a raspy voice. "You could have left me on the recliner. not like i haven't slept in worse places." I laughed as he stood up. He shrugged and smiled. "exactly why i had to let you have my bed. I smell sausage. Riley must be cooking." He opened his door and walked out to the kitchen. I followed. "Breakfast anyone?" Riley smiled handing Nate a plate. "Yes please. Then i have to go home but you all have my number." I smiled, throwing two sausages on a glass plate. "Or, you can shower, let me do your makeup and pick out an outfit, then we all go over to your house?" Riley asked with a hopeful smile. "Yeah sure." I finished eating the last sausage on the plate. "First, our daily dose." Riley smirked and passed out some Hydros. We all took them with a drink of orange juice and then i was being taken upstairs to be her little make over project. I showered, dried my hair, brushed my teeth with the extra tooth brush, and then sat on the counter so she could do my makeup.

"So, what are you going to do about your boyfriend?" She asked as she applied some eyeliner to my eyes, lining them all the way around, not what i normally do. "I have no idea. Honestly. He hadn't meant to kill her or even hurt her. I feel like he wanted to scare her because of the whole situation where she pretended to kill herself because she knew i'd feel guilty enough to end myself. What do you think i should do? I mean i know we just met yesterday but-" She cut me off with this perfect smile. "girl, we are going to be hanging out a whole bunch. Consider me your best friend. I love giving advice. You should seriously, ignore him. He is the reason your mother is dead. I mean yeah, she was a dead beat, but still. I say give him a week of hell." She had a point. i mean he could get some serious jail time if this caught back up to him. I didn't want him out of my life forever. Or did i? 

No... what the hell was i thinking. Carl was the only guy i've ever actually felt something for. Why would i want that out of my life? "I think just a few days of hell will do." I finally responded when she finished my makeup. I looked in the mirror and i had to admit, i looked hot. "Come on lets get some clothes on you." I hopped off the counter and walked with her to her closet. She handed me a black bralette with roses over where the nipples. "don't  wear a bra with that. I'll give you a bag to take your clothes in." I nodded and slipped the Bralette on and then the black frayed shorts. We were the same size. "You're shoes match too so it's cool. Damn. I'm good."She smiled wide. Proud of herself and pointing to a full length mirror. I looked in and i had to admit i looked great. "Here," She handed me a messenger bag, "keep this. i don't use it anymore. Actually keep this outfit." I shook my head. "Oh, no i couldn't." She shook her head smiling. "See how many clothes i have? yeah a lot. Don't worry. Keep them." I nodded, defeated. 

"Ready to go?" I nodded and followed her down the stairs. She was wearing this romper that perfectly framed her body. Something i've never had the money for. The guys were wrestling around in the living room. "Come on guys we are going to Delilah's house." Riley took her keys and purse from the table. The guys let go of each other and now we were all piling out to the vehicle. 

"This is where you live?" i could hear the repulsed tone from Nate. It kind of annoyed me at first but then i realized what he was talking about. My uncle was in skin tight shorts, no shirt, and was playing hide and seek with the girls in the front lawn. "Oh don't worry, that's just my uncle Kevin and his twins. His wardrobe is always a little weird." I opened the car door and walked over to the front gate. "Uncle Kev, this is Riley, Nate and Carson. It's cool if they hang here right?" Everyone waved and my uncle nodded with a big smile. "Thank you for friending up my niece. Stated to get worried she wouldn't make any." My uncle joked. "But, warning you, Carl hasn't left your room since last night. Don't think he has any plans to. We've tried throwing him out but he sneaks back in. Boy is mad sorry. i mean, i forgave the little shit and she was my sister." I rolled my eyes. "You disowned her at like 12. Doesn't count." He shrugged and i turned to my friends.
