A SOFT, CONSTANT TAPPING was what woke the gallagher girl. cassie sat up slightly, leaning back on her elbows as she glanced to ian's side of the room to read the clock he had on his nightstand.
3:13am
"cass?"
the voice was nearly inaudible, but cassie knew exactly who it'd came from the second her ears caught onto it. she threw the blanket off herself, careful not to cause any unnecessary noises to wake her brothers.
elliot let a grin form on his lips when cassie came to the window between her and ian's beds. she slid open the window, helping the boy climb through.
the smell of alcohol swarmed her senses when elliot nearly fell on her. she helped him take his jacket off, his shoes following. cassie didn't get a chance to let him change anything else before he was climbing into her bed, incoherent words falling from his lips as he did so.
cassie let out a sigh when he patted the empty spot beside him. she then followed his actions, pulling the blanket over them both as she got situated.
the best friends were facing one another, a blanket of silence falling over the two for a moment. elliot brought his hand up to the side of her face, tracing his finger down until it reached her jawline.
"are you okay?" her voice was gentle, comforting. elliot only smiled in response. cassie could tell he hadn't just been drinking, for it was never just alcohol when he visited the dealer.
"just peachy, cass." elliot whispered, his eyes fluttering shut for a moment as he felt her hand come up to run through his hair. "you?"
"glad you made it back in one piece." cassie pressed a kiss to the boy's cheek. elliot let out a quiet chuckle, one that cassie wouldn't of heard had she not been listening intently. "get some sleep, eli."
"sweet dreams, cass."

"hey, it's phillip." steve's attention quickly left fiona once lip and cassie made their presence known. "and cassie."
"hey, it's dead man walking." lip replied with a chuckle, dropping his plate into the kitchen sink.
cassie had a joint in hand as she walked in toe with lip. she hopped onto the kitchen counter, letting out her own laugh. "jimmy clifton called today looking for you."
