Mess // Carl Gallagher (COMPLETED)

19

"Welcome back Milkovich" her boss Rick  said before looking up from his clipboard as she nodded. "Orders are piling up in there. I swear all Jenna does is drool" he said unamused as she laughed, put on her apron and went to the kitchen where Theo stood.

"Table seven. Pie and cherry coke" he said while handing her the tray as she got an instant flashback to Fiona's diner. "You don't know who ordered this do you ?" she asked as the man scoffed. "I'm up to my eyeballs here. I barely have time to breathe" he said dead serious but she smirked and brought it out to the main room. Her eyes found table seven instantly but there was no one sitting on the right side of the booth which faced her, so she had no idea. She put the tray down and took a seat and sure enough Mike was sitting across from her. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have come here" he said about to get up but she shrugged which told him that she wasn't angry. "Uh. I'm sorry I haven't spoken to you properly the last couple of weeks" he said honestly as she shook her head. "That's my fault. I wanted to give you space" she said honestly as he kept nodding.

"I know you're back with Carl and that's not what I came to talk about. I want to go back to the way we were. The inseparable best friends. You were my first most things in the world Miss. And it's gonna fucking sting if I loose you" he began before shaking her head. "Actually it'll be detrimental because as much I let Iggy believe he's my favourite. He's not" he said as he kept his gaze on her nails, he whispered the last part and she felt it's impact a lot more. "Can we move past it" she asked as he nodded. "Never happened" he said as she smiled and nodded along with him. "Anyone would be lucky to have you, Michael" she said softly as he shrugged. "Well, I've only ever wanted you, Marissa" he said as her heart broke for him. "I'm sorry" she began but he shook his head. "Don't be. Now I'm going to enjoy my coke. Come over sometime though. You missed out on a lot of great movies in prison" he said as she laughed and nodded back at him. "Of course I will" she whispered before going back to the kitchen and collecting all of the orders Theo had been stressing about. She'd purchased a flip phone and wasn't too keen on it until it started ringing. A strange number came up so she handed the trays to Jenna who was staring at some poor boy who came in to eat with his grandma. She walked through the break room and out into the outside area, where she finally answered the phone.

"Hello ?" she asked suspiciously. "Missy. Hello. You sounded frantic. Are you alright" the soft voice on the other end of the voice said as she took a breath of relief. "Ethel, did you have the baby" she asked as the girl laughed at the other end of the phone. "Yes, a little boy, seven pounds exactly. Isn't that amazing. Little Zachariah" she explained as Missy smiled, she was so happy for her. "Did you get in contact with Kevin and Veronica" she asked as the girl took a breath. "Yes, they gave me your phone number. You've been so kind recently" she explained as Rick called for her to get back to serving so she had to put down the phone. "I'm really sorry I have to go. But I really really hope everything works out. You have to come back soon" she said excited as the girl told her she would. "I love you Missy" the girl said from the other end of the phone, it was a sentence Missy had never heard her say before. "I love you too" she said quietly before hanging up and walking back in.

"Hi my name is Missy I'll be your server. If there's anything extra you may need. Don't be afraid to ask" she said while taking out her notepad, ready to take the tables order. "Whatever you want boys. My meal is right here" Carl said as he pulled Missy onto his lap as she gagged. "Behave" she whispered while swatting him. "So you two. Have like your own place" one guy she was introduced to as Ron said as Missy nodded. "And you can like do whatever you want in it. No parents, roommates, nothing" he then said as they both nodded. "Maybe I should have a kid" Ron said as Missy laughed and stood up. She was laughing until she saw a familiar face so spun back around and slammed the table. "Chucky" she said while staring at the boy who'd lost a significant amount of weight. "It's alright, he's cool now" Carl said trying to settle her but she had many unanswered questions.

"Aunt Missy" he said through a smile as she shook her head. "Cut the shit. I'm not your aunt" she said annoyed as he shrugged. "But you and uncle Carl" he began as she shook her head. There was so much she wanted to say but then she remembered that she handled things like her mother so she bit her tongue and nodded. "I hope your mother rots in prison" she whispered before walking back into the kitchen. Mike had left long ago and the cops were the last people they served at the end of every day.

"Can I interest any of you lovely men in our sandwich of the day" she began as one of the men looked up. "A Milkovich" he said as she nodded. "Carl was just telling us about you" he said as she smirked. "Yeah well. I'm proud of where I come from" she said, thinking he was just making conversation but he kept going. "Milkoviches Chucky. They're all the same. They pry on innocent people like you because you're an innocent person. You don't know any better. Like the trash they are" she shouted as Missy stared right through him, since he was a cop and she was trying to turn herself around, she stayed quiet.

"This is not happening" she whispered while rubbing her temples before looking up and smiling. "Turkey, ham, chicken" she began but he spoke again. "Is it true you shot Chucky" he asked but she kept going. "Bread, brown bread" she kept listing but he kept going. He wasn't even listening to Carl and Chucky telling him to stop. "I mightn't be able to fight you cause I can't risk loosing my baby girl. But my brothers sure can" she spat he shook her head.

"The a gay Milkovich. Give me a break" he said smugly before sipping from his coffee cup as Carl and Chucky looked back and forth at the woman infront of them who they knew could blow up quickly. She kept listing off sandwiches until he spoke again. "I told you Carl your family are trouble. Shelley, my mom said she was just a pregnant whore. God rest her soul. And Mandy. Where is she ? How's the guy she was with. And you." She began as Missy shook her head.

"Familiar with my family then" she asked with her arms folded. "Everyone is. You weren't brought up. You were dragged up" he continued as she nodded. "At least I've got manners" she said while biting her tongue as he shrugged. "We'll get your family behind bars where they belong, you watch this space" he said while pointing at the table as she laughed. "I hope you were threatening me. I mean, as you said, I wasn't brought up, I was dragged up, who knows how I might react" she said through a fake smile as she walked into the back, she knew she didn't have to deal with people like that.
