Today, Lip is taking me somewhere. I have no clue. All I know is to wear comfortable clothes.
I guess I should talk about myself a little.
My mom split when I was just 2 years old. My dad is a drunk. Much like Frank and Monica Gallagher. I was moved to my Aunts house, where I would grow up. I grew up with Ian and Lip. That's about it. I watched Carl, Deb and Liam all grow up. Deb is 16 now, Carl is 14, and Liam is 9.

I walk downstairs to see my Aunt Lucy watching Tv.
"Hello" she says
"Hi" I reply.
"Any plans today?"
"Going in a date"
"With?"
"Lip"
"I always knew you two would end up together"
I smile in response and go to get changed.
I just threw on one of Lip's old shirts and a pair of shorts, planning on changing later. I slip on my 'Jesus Sandels' as Lip likes to call them and head over to his house
I walk to Lip's room and see that he's still asleep.
I decide to wake him up by throwing a pillow at him
"Fuck off, Sky"
"How'd you know it was me"
"I know you better than anyone" he smiles, sitting up.
"I think Ian has you beat in that category" I smile
He lightly shoves me, almost making me fall off the bunk bed, but he grabs my hand to prevent that.
"Thanks for that, Lip" I say sarcastically
"No problem" he smirks.
I sit cross legged from him as he just stares at me
"Like what you see, Gallagher?"
"A lot" he remarks
Little did I know, it was taking everything inside him not to kiss me
"Fuck it" he says aloud
He leans in and places his lips on mine
It takes a while but I kiss back.
After we both are out of breath, we part ways
"Damn" He says
"I know huh" I say
We lay down and talk about nothing and everything all at once.

Around 5, I decide to go back to my house to change.
"Where are you off to?" Ian asks as he walks through the door
"I gotta get changed. Big date"
He smiles and walks through the door.
I walk into my empty house and go to my room to change.
I don't always do makeup so I'm not the best at it, but I make an attempt.
I then get dressed. I put on an off the shoulder blue top with lace at the bottom and a pair of black shorts, and flats. I grab my purse and throw some money in it, just in case I has to pay, which I didn't mind to.

It's now 5:58 as I walk back to the Gallagher household
I hear yelling coming from inside
"You know what, Fuck you Ian. I actually like her. I don't want to fuck this up."
"She's my best friend. I'm saying this as her friend, not your brother. You hurt her, I break you"
I see the front door slam and Lip walk out
"Oh hey Sky"
"Hi."
"You look... woah"
I laugh and thank him.

We walk hand and hand to the L.
"Where are we going?"
"There's a karaoke bar on the other side of town, I was thinking you could sing, since that's something you've always wanted to do"
I look at him with fear in my eyes
"Phillip..."
"I already called ahead and put your name on the list"
"Phillip Ronan.."
"Skylar Rayne"
"I hate you"
"Then why are you on a date with me?"
"It's the 'I hate you but i really like you' kinda hate."

We get to the karaoke bar and I go up on the stage and decide to sing Colors by Halsey

"Your little brother never tells you but he loves you so. You said your mother only smiled on her tv show. You're only happy when your sorry head is filled with dope. I hope you make it to the day you're twenty-eight years old"
Lip's eyes never once left mine. His smile never left his face.
"You're dripping like a saturated sunrise, you're spilling like an overflowing sink. You're ripped at every edge but you're a masterpiece, and now I'm tearing through the pages and the ink"
I look down at Lip, him giving me two thumbs up.
I smile and continue singing
"Everything is blue,His pills, his hands, his jeans. And now i'm covered in the colors pull apart at the seams,And it's blue, And it's blue.Everything is grey
His hair, his smoke, his dreams
And now he's so devoid of color
He don't know what it means
And he's blue
And he's blue"

I finish the song and walk off the stage, earning a round of applause.
"You did great up there"
I grab his face and lightly kiss him
"What was that for?"
"For making me face my biggest fear"
Little did Lip know, I applied to the Chicago school of music, for singing.
I'm going to wait to tell him, if I'm accepted, if not, he'll never know.

We go back home and he drops me off at my house
"You know I'll just be back over in like 5 minutes right?"
"I know" he says
I quickly change into a pair of sleep shorts and an old tank top of Lip's and go through the mail on the table, when I see a letter from the school.
I've been accepted.
I start in the fall.
How am I gonna tell Ian?
Hell, how am I gonna tell Lip?
