Peach Scone(Lip Gallagher)

Chapter 2

I sat there, on Ian's bed, trying not to cry. That was the most hurtful thing he's ever said to me. And I've been his beat friend since I was 3. I got up when Lip entered.
"What's wrong? He says. He sounds actually concerned. Maybe he does care
"Ian just said stuff that  got to me, that's all."
"What was it?"
"Something about how I have 'feelings I won't admit, not even to myself.' And how he doesn't have that problem and then he left to go see Mickey."
"You should know by now, Ian is an asshat" he says, making me smile.
"I know." I smile
"So, about these feelings. About a boy?"
"Yeah but I'll never tell"
I could tell his heart dropped, because that's when he face did.
"How about we say who we have feelings for at the same time??"
"Sure.."
"1..2..3"
"You"
"You"
"You like me?" I ask
"There's no one else." He says
"I don't believe you"
"That maybe so, but there really is no one else, Skylar"
I knew he was serious because he used my full name. Not Sky or Holland. Skylar.
"Prove it, Phillip"
"Oh, I will. Give me sometime and I'll prove it."
I smile and get up.
"I gotta go. Bye Lip"
"Bye Skylar."

I walk home and lay on my bed.
Phillip Ronan Gallagher has a crush on me. Skylar Rayne Holland. How? Why?
He probably doesn't really like you
He probably feels bad for you
"Will you shut the fuck up?" I say to the voices in my head.
That's when I hear a knock at my door
I groan and get up and answer it.
"Oh hey Ian."
"I just wanted to apologize about earlier. I shouldn't have said that"
"Well it's okay. I told Lip how I feel about him and it turns out he likes me too."
"I knew it. Do you want to come back over? We can hang out."
"Okay sure"
I slide my vans on and walk next door with Ian.
"Where's Lip?" Ian asks Carl
"He said he had to get something for Sky"
Ian looks at me
"Well I don't know!" I exclaim
"Said something about roses too" Carl adds
Ian shoots me a glance
"I don't know Ian my god" I say, laughing
"Go wait for him, Sky"
I run up to their shared room and sit on Lip's bed. I lay down on the lumpy mattress and wait for him.
"Hey where's sky? She wasn't home."
"Go look upstairs"
I hear a running lip come to the room
"Hey, Phillip"
"Hey, Skylar."
I jump down from the bed and look at Lip
"I uh got you these." He says, pulling roses from behind his back
"Lip... they're beautiful. Thank you"
"And I guess I wanted to ask you out. Like on a date"
"I'd love to Lip."
"Tomorrow at 6?"
"It's a date" I say,kissing his cheek.
He smiles.
I walk downstairs to put the roses in water. I grab a random cup and fill it half way with water and place the roses in it. I smile and grab a beer from the fridge.
"What are we watchin" I ask Carl
"I don't know" he admits
I pat his back and watch 'The Price is Right' which was playing on the tv.
"Hey, Sky can I talk to you?" Ian asks
"Uh sure?"
He never asks he usually just pulls me from whatever I'm doing and talks.
"Outside" He says
We walk to the back steps and he starts to talk
"I know you like my brother and everything but be careful, he always fucks something up. So just be careful. Please"
"Ian, you have nothing to worry about, I'll be careful" I say, hugging the tall redhead sitting next to me.
Debs comes running out and jumps into the pool. Me and Ian decide to join her.
Just for a little bit, life was perfect.
