i got back from my class and i was exhausted so i thought i needed a well deserved nap. stevens gave me double the work since i bailed on her yesterday.

i got into my sports bra and sweatpants. before i got into bed, i heard a knock at my door.

i went over to answer it and i saw that it was lip. he was back from his three day trip. i'm not gonna lie, i missed him.

"hey." lip said with a smile as i pulled him into a hug and he rested his head on my shoulder.

"i missed you." i told him.

"i missed you too, baby." lip said softly.

once we pulled away from each other, lip asked if i wanted to go over to the auction since fiona had to buy back the house. i got dressed and we both went over there.

"hey." lip said as we walked over to the gang and found a place to sit beside ian.

"hey, you made it. how was the trip?" fiona asked her brother.

"still processing. where's kev?" lip asked.

"he's supposed to be here, i don't know what happened." veronica replied.

"okay, next up, 2119 north wallace street. it's a four bedroom, one and a half bath in a up and coming neighborhood, adjacent to a community garden." the guy at the auction said.

"oh. sounds almost livable." lip said.

"heard this place has a rat problem!" ian said.

"and a bug problem." i said.

"yeah, and honduran squatters live in the basement." lip said.

"how about 50,000? fifty thousand for the four bedroom. all right, who would give 50? i have 50,000 bid in the back right there. how about 60? i'm looking for 60,000. 60! wanna give it a go for 60 i'm looking for 60,000. thank you. now 70? who would give it for 70? 70,000. i have 70 right here. who would give it for 80? 80 right here. you're up! you gotta beat 80,000. hey, i don't think so. 80,000 bid in the back. how about 90? i'm looking for 90,000 right here. who can give 90? you can bid right there. thank you. now 100. one hundred thousand. one hundred. thank you. now who wanna go 110? 110 going once, going twice- ooh, 110 in the back now. now, 120. you're out. you gotta beat 120. who wanna bid 120? who would give it a go 120? i gotta have 120. new bidder, right here with 120' now. who wanna bid 130. you can bid back in. how about our man, who would give 130? give it a go. 130, let me know! 130, in the back. now 40. everybody else is out. you gotta beat 140. who would give that a go? 140, are you sure? 130 right here, going once. you don't wanna miss it. 130 in the back going twice. aww you thinking about it? for 140,000, what do you think? last call. sold! you got her. 130,000. thank you!" and just like that the gallaghers house was sold to two strangers.
