05

The next morning Mickey woke up in a worse mood than normal. Other than his slight headache and for some reason waking up earlier than usual, he still couldn't get the thought of Ian going out with some other guy out of his head.

"You know what, fuck this." Mickey thought and jumped out of bed. It was 7 in the morning and school didn't start till 9 and everyone was still asleep so Mickey got first dibs at the shower.

He turned on the shower and waited for the water to warm a bit. Mickey peeled off his clothes and was about to hop in when when heard a big thump outside the bathroom door. "The fuck?"

Mickey grabbed a random towel and wrapped it around his waist. He unlocked the bathroom door to see what that noise was and what he saw put him a way worse mood.

Terry.

Terry was passed out on the floor which explained the loud thump he must've fell walking in and just passed out drunk. Mickey groaned and was about to just take a shower and leave him there but he just couldn't. He banged on Mandys door
"Get up shithead I need help!" He called through the door.

Mandy opened the door just wearing an oversized t-shirt. "Yea...?" She groaned rubbing the sleep out her eyes and leaning on the door. Mickey gestured to their passed out father on the floor and Mandy understood. "Can't we just leave the motherfucker there? School starts in an hour and I need like a half hour more of sleep." She turned to close the door but Mickey stopped it with his hand.

"You know we can't Mand's. You get one arm and I'll get the other, we'll drag him to the couch."Mickey said and went to pick up one of terry's arms. Mandy sighed and went to help, they got Terry to the couch as he started snoring. "I'm going back to sleep..." Mandy mumbled and walked back to her room and slammed the door.

Mickey ran his hand down his face and groaned. He couldn't wait to get out this house once and for all. Mickey had been saving some cash for him and Mandy to leave and go somewhere else but when Mickey suggested it she said she wanted to try and graduate and couldn't leave yet so Mickey being a decent brother stayed too. He wasn't just going to leave her with Terry. Never.

Mickey walked back to the bathroom and dropped the towel to get in the shower. The water was nice and hot and Mickeys headache was getting better. "Maybe today won't be so bad." He thought but then a certain redhead and a date popped into his head. "Fuck."

Beep Beep Beep...

Ian groaned and slammed his hand on them he alarm clock, trying to find the snooze button but eventually gave and just threw the clock and it stopped beeping. But then Carl's alarm went off and the everybody in the room groaned.Fiona knocked on all the doors "Up Gallagher's time for school!" She called through the house. "I'm making breakfast!"

Carl jumped out of bed yelling something about the bathroom and then he heard Debbie yelling also and then Liam started crying. You'd think since Lip was off at college that it'd be quieter in the Gallagher house but no such luck. Ian got up and got dressed and picked up Liam to take him downstairs while checking his phone for any new text messages but there weren't any. He'd texted Mickey last night but he never answered.

Ian grabbed his stuff and bounded downstairs, dropping Liam off in the high chair. Ian said goodbye to his siblings and grabbed a pancake while nearly tripping over Frank. Ian headed to the Milkovich house to head to school with Mandy and maybe Mickey if he actually got up.

"Hey Mands." Ian greeted as Mandy opened the door. "You ready to go?"
"Yea just give me a sec." She said and walked back into the house. Ian followed and waited by the couch where Terry was still snoring. "Hey douchebag you comin!" Mandy yelled into her brothers room. "Yes, god you don't have to be so loud." Mickey said walking out his room and out the front door not even acknowledging Ian. "Looks like he's joining us." Mandy said and followed her brother out the door.

The wall to school was normal but something felt off, Mandy talked about how all the girls at school were bitches like usual and Mickey just followed closely behind. Ian glanced back at Mickey but every time he caught his eye he would immediately look down or somewhere else that wasn't Ian. "Wonder what's up with him."

Ian didn't notice Mandy was still talking until she was waving her hand in front of his face and got his attention. "So I was asking where were you yesterday?" She asked.

"Oh I forgot to tell you about my date. I was going to tell-." Ian said barely getting out the rest of his sentence with Mandy squealing. "DATE!?" She practically screeched. "You tell me this shit. Now tell me who,where,and when!"

Ian glanced back at Mickey and was surprised to see him staring back like he also curious to know who Ian had a date with. Ian shrugged it off and turned back to Mandy. "Well Aiden-"

"AIDEN WARREN!?" Mandy stopped dead in her tracks and gave Ian a death glare. "You waited a whole day to tell me that you went on a date with Aiden! Unbelievable." She giggled and punched him in the arm.
On the rest of the way to school Ian told Mandy all about how Aiden asked him out and how the date went while she just squealed the whole time. Ian only looked back to glance at Mickey once during the whole conversation and he had an look on his face that was a mix of anger and confusion from what Ian could tell.

But why the hell would Mickey be mad about his date.
