finna skip about 3 weeks so please just let me

3 weeks later

I so desperately want to say that all is good in my life right now but that would most definitely be a lie. Kev was a godsend at first giving me a job and then a place to stay, but now I think he's starting to hate me. I really need the job so I've prepared a speech.

"Kev! V! come here!" I screamed knowing they were both in the house somewhere. I think I heard someone shout what back but I ignored it knowing it would trigger their curiosity. After about 3 minutes we're all sat around the table, I smile and start talking.

"First of all, I want to thank you both from the bottom of my heart, you literally gave me a shelter when I needed it the most in my life. Thank you so much for taking me in when I was a homeless creature, basically. Then next, I'm sorry. I've heard a lot of arguments between you and my name comes out a lot so I'm sorry for pushing you to fight. And lastly, I'm leaving. I don't want to lie and say I have a place but I swear I will work it out. Just please let me go, I just need one more night and I'll be gone before you wake up tomorrow. Deal?" I say grinning, glad I got through it all and trying to convince them to let me go.

They look at each other and I know what's running through their heads. They don't want me to leave and have nowhere to go, but they don't want me here. "Okay, if you really want to leave, you can, but remember you're still welcome whenever" V pipes up.

"And you obviously still have your job" Kev says and I smile giving him a hug. I thank them and let them sleep.

After that, I go round to the Gallagher's and literally start throwing little stones at Carl's window. Old school, I know. I can imagine his groan as he rolls out of bed. the window slides open and his face lights up.

Soon, the front door opens to reveal a shirtless Carl. He walks towards me and engulfs me in his arms. I don't see him much because I avoid entering the Gallagher property. It's lowkey petty but that's me.

We stand there for what seems like an eternity but I could do it forever. His arms leave my body but rest on my cheeks. I smile at how tentative he's being even though he's barely awake. Next thing I know, he's kissing my face. My forehead, my nose, my cheeks and my lips.

I push him away and see him scrunch his eyebrows. "Carl, I came here to tell you something, not just to kiss" I say with a laugh trying to keep it light-hearted.

I pull him towards the steps below and we sit. I take his hands in mine and look at them. "I'm leaving" I say quietly.

"What? No. I just got you back. You can't leave again." he begs. I fight the urge to argue that last time I didn't choose to leave.

I put my hand on his chin and make him look into my eyes. "I had to leave Kev's, I was too much of a hassle. I don't have anywhere to stay but I was gonna ask if I could get all the money I've been saving and leave town. Get a fresh start. Maybe I'll have a better chance in a better town." I explain as a tear leave my eye.

He starts to speak but chokes on his words "I-I love you" he says eventually.

"And I love you, truly. But I have to do this." I reply.

"So, is this you breaking up with me?" he asks and I'm left a little in shock. I hadn't considered such thing.

"I really don't want to, I want you. But we can't have a relationship with no contact or communication. I don't even have a phone anymore!" I try to wrap my head around the issue.

"Wait here!" he says quickly and runs into the house. Within 1 minute, he's back with a small object in his hand.

He hands me the phone and says "for you, now everything will work out" with a small smile. I look at it and it has one contact: daddy carl 👅😏
