Electric • L.Gallagher

24

Liam lay at the end of my bed as Noel strummed a quiet melody, humming to himself along with it. Noel has spent the morning completely silent, writing down ideas for songs, while Liam just lay and sang random Beatles songs and grabbed my ankles to make me jump every now and again.

"I'm bored out ma nut." Liam complained and I rolled my eyes, poking his ribs with my foot, making him squirm and sit up.

"Your always bored, Gallagher." I said and he just crawled to the top of the bed and flopped down next to me, laying his head on my lap. Noel looked up at Liam confused, me also looking at the boy confused. He had been very affectionate today, spending most of the morning with head on his brothers shoulder.

"Hey, Liam. You okay?" I asked quietly as I brushed the hair from him face.

"Just tired." He said quietly and Noel looked at me. I nodded and he stood up.

"I'm going to nip to the shop, anyone want anything?" He asked and I shook my head, Noel didn't say anything and I just sighed as I watched Noel leave my room, shutting the door quietly behind him. The window was wide open, the sun was shining and my room was nice and warm.

"You okay, baby?" I asked and Liam just grabbed my hand, he pressed his lips to the back of my hand before letting go and sitting up, resting his back against my wall.

"I've been thinking about shit, from a while ago. But my mind always wonders back to that night with that Connor geezer." He said and I stared at him for a second, pressing my hand to the side of his face and rubbing my thumb over his cheek. He leaned into my hand and I could tell he was upset.

"Why've you been thinking about it?" I asked, genuinely curious. We hadn't talked about it in the group since it happened, the only mention of it was a few times and when my mum told us she knew.

"I just wish I'd have done something, Y'know like bottled the fucker, or smashed his head of the cirb." Liam said angrily and I just smiled and moved close to him, I sat on his lap so I had my legs at each side of him. I put my hands on his face and he placed his hands over my own.

"You couldn't have known, Liam. Nobody would've known, it was a shit situation." I said and pressed a kiss to his forehead.

"Why can't geezers like him just respect woman, it's really not that fucking hard." He complained and I nodded, a large smile on my face.

"Your adorable." I chuckled and he looked at me fake offended, throwing his arms in the air.

"I'm a fucking rock n' roll star, far from adorable." He complained with a pour and I just kissed him.

I sat with my feet propped up on Liam's lap, Noel lay on the floor next to Guigs and Bonehead and Tony took the other couch. Some shitty action movie played while we complained about how shit the day was. It had rained most of the days, which really isnt that bad bud it broke the heatwave that was taking over Manchester.

"It's supposed to be sunny the 'morra." Tony said and I looked at him, nodding.

"I just want to swim man. Em, you'd till got that big swimming pool from when we were younger?" Noel asked and I thought for a few seconds.

"Yeah we do. Didn't we use it last year and Liam cut his leg open on that cup you managed to break in it?" I asked and he waited a second before nodding.

"Oh aye, a fucken remember that." Liam said leaning over and slapping his brother across the head. "Prick." He said quietly and I just laughed as Noel rubbed his head. The sound of my front door opening made my head snap in that direction.

"Hey, Em. I've got- oh shit." Damon said as the colour drained from his face, I jumped up before Liam could even move, both him and the lads all jumping up afterme as I stood in front of Damon.

"Woah, hold on a fucking minute. So you've just let him start walking in? What the fuck is going on?" Liam said loudly and the sound of my mum coming down stairs made Damon ease up a bit.

"Liam, he's my friend. I let you guys just walk in whenever. It's okay." I said as I moved forward, I placed my hand on each side of his face and he finally looked at me.

"Get him out of here, or I'm gonna kick his arse." He grumbled and flopped back onto the sofa, I looked at Noel who still wore a threatening expression, I stared at him for a few seconds till he loosened up, him and all the lads sitting back down, I pulled Damon into the kitchen and he looked at me bewildered.

"Jesus you really do have him wrapped around your finger." Damon joked and I laughed. He brought out two tickets from his pocket and I looked at him confused.

"I've got two tickets for the Stone Roses and only one mate that I really wanna take." He said and raised his eyebrow. "Will you come with me?" He asked and I looked at him with a large smile .

"Of course I fucking will!" I yelled loudly and he hugged me. We stood like that for a few seconds I pulled away. I noticed Liam standing in the door way and sighed.

"I'll call you." I said and Damon nodded, he walked past Liam who nudged his shoulder as he left. I looked at Liam with my arms crossed.

"You can't be angry at me for being friends with him, just because you hate him, doesn't mean I have to." I said and walked over to him, he grabbed my face and kissed me hungrily, his hands went to my side and mines joined behind his neck. He pulled away looked at me.

"I love you." He said and I smiled.

"I love you too idiot." I said and we both walked back into the living room.
