Thin •Lip Gallagher•

11

    I woke up around 7 and say on my bed checking all my messages.
      I responded to most of them and got up changing into a pink Floyd t shirt. I slipped on my Vans and a hoodie, grabbing my phone and cigs walking out of my house.

    I walked down the street until I got to the Alibi. I opened the door and walked in sitting on a bar stole pulling out a cigarette lighting it.

  "Hey , Rose haven't seen you around in what a month?"

  "I've been sick, hit me with a shot of your strongest whiskey Kev."

   Kev grabbed a shot glass and filled it to the brim. I grabbed it and drank it.

   "How's it been going around here ? Lonely without me I bet."

   He chuckled and nodded, "Yes, you're the only who ever pays your tab."
  He roll his eyes and looks at a drunk Frank.

  "Ah, I thought something was missing from the Gallagher household this morning."

   "  Yeah, too bad he comes here though, instead of falling off the face of the earth. "

  I snorted at Kevin's comment, laying down $5 and saying bye, leaving. Now, I'm just aimlessly walking around the South side, of Chicago, by myself. Real fuckin smart.

   I walk around and check my phone, looking for the address.

   Once I find it it's around 9ish. I start walking towards the address. The party was for a friend's birthday.
   As I'm walking there I see two of my friends, who I'm guessing are walking there.

  "Is that Steven and Dakota I spot?"

They both turn and look at me, "No fucking way." Dakota says, he's Addys Boy friend.

   "She lives!" Steven yells.
"Y'all are fucked up."

  Dakota starts laughing and I walk up to them.

   Steven picks me up from behind and pretends to slam me on the ground.

    "How long has it been since you've last partied?"

   "About a month or so, I've been sick."

   Steven nods and we all continue walking and talking.

   "Guys we need a topic to talk about so we don't seem weird."

   "Drugs?"

   "Unicorns."

    "Dakota no."

     "Mermaids?"

     "Are definatily not real."

     "Bullshit, yes they are."

     "No they arent."

We all reach the house and as I'm about to walk in some high or drunk someone  hugged me from behind.

   I chuckled pushing them off slightly and they stumbled backwards off the porch.
   As I get inside I see Addy and she stumbles over too me and hugs me yelling, " Rose, you're so pretty I fucking love you!"

   "Love you too, now where's the alcohol ?"
   I walk up to a table where someone is smoking out of a bong.
   I grab a bottle of half empty vodka and open it straight, chugging it.

   People began watching as I almost finish it off, before I start laughing and coughing.
   " T, pass the bong to me."
I say sitting down at the table. He hands it to me and I grab a lighter out of my pocket and light it.

    I inhale the smoke and exhale quickly, coughing like crazy.
    "Hey we missed ya here. Especially Chris."

   "Ooo, is he here, I needa talk to my not mans. Or you know any man's I know." I giggle and stand up.

    I walk to the living room and dance to whatever song was playing and just let loose.
    I wanted to just have fun.
I laugh and dance with strangers escaping my responsibility and worries with this false advertised happiness.

    I dance and dance until my body aches, until this false happy is all I can feel. Until my breath is mixed with all the others. Until I can't feel. Until all I hear is this music in my ears and the careless singing teenagers.
    I slowly make my way to the stairs walking up them to the bathroom taking a piss. When that was done I walked down the stairs and to the basement where people were.
    I sit down in a random circle on a ground.
   "You're playing spin the bottle Rose?"
   "I mean I say down, might as well, don't really feel like moving."

    He laughs, I don't really know this kid but he apparently knows me.
   I giggled and leaned against the wall as someone spun the empty but light bottle, it landing on a very pretty girl.
   She had a nose piercing and short dirty blonde hair.
    I watched as the two kissed each other awkwardly. The girl spun the bottle and it landed on, me.
   "Before this happens, anyone remember the last party I made out with a chick drunk?"

  "Hell yeah, it was hot as fuck." Some guy with really curly red hair shouted.

   I chuckled and crawled to the girl putting my hand in her cheek and closing my eyes .
   We kissed slowly, her lips as soft as silk ribbions.
   I pulled away, sitting back in my spot winking at her.
   Everyone just stared memorized. Eventually spin the bottle turned into a blunt circle and we were passing around a nicely rolled blunt.

   Everything was going smoothly until someone from upstairs yelled cops.
   I jumped up with the blunt in my hand putting it out on my hand.
   "Who's was this? "
People shrug until the guys with curly red hair raises his hand.
   I toss it at him and run up the stairs and up the stairs to the upstairs.

    I ran into the bedroom to see Kaydence on the floor charging her vape.
    "Cops are here."
Some people run out of the room and down stairs. Trying to get out the back.
    "Where is Addy?"
     "Bathroom."   I run to the bathroom opening it and closing it picking the door.
      "Smells like bacon." She says sitting on the toilet.
      "Hella pigs man, looks like a farm."
She snorts and so do I.
   I tried to sobber as much as I could cause I knew going back for her would cause me to be trapped in this house.
