Casey Gallagher

~Chapter 1~

As i was relaxing on the hotel room couch, watching tv i was started to wonder how Chicago works. I've always heard stories from my adopted parents on how they used to live here and 'here' is where they 'found' me. Oops i forgot to introduce myself... My names Casey Gallagher. i was adopted when i was 3, my 'parents' found me on the street, at 3 in the morning. well that's what they told me at least. I'm 14 years old, i'm a professional dancer, i'm an A student but still a 'bad' girl i guess. I live in Florida, Miami Florida but i'm in Chicago for 2 weeks for dance thing.
Tomorrow i'm gonna be exploring the south side since that's were i 'came from.' but of course my 'mom' has to come so it won't be as fun. My adopted 'parents' are really fucking rich, which makes me some what wealthy i guess. In mid thought i heard a knock on the bathroom door. "C?! Are you ok in there sweatheart!?" my 'mom' yelled threw the door. "Yes mom i'm fine!" i yelled back "What do you need?" i ask her "Dad and I are wondering if you wanted to come meet your dance instructor?" my 'mom' asked, still yelling thru the door "Sure give me 5 minutes to get ready ma!" i yell as i hear footsteps walk away from the bathroom door.
once i'm dried off and out of my 'relaxing' bath, i walk into my room (bathroom is attached to Casey's room) and picked out some adidas sweatpants, a black tank top, my white and gold jordan's, clear sunglasses, and my gucci handbag.

I walk out of my hotel room and see my 'mom' and 'dad' standing in front of the door. "Casey are you ready?" my 'mom' asks "Yup all ready"

30 minutes in the limo and we're already lost. "David i don't think this is the right way!" my mom screeched worriedly. my 'dad' glares at her before turning to the limo driver. "Sir i don't think this is the right way..." he was cut off by the side door opening "May i have your hand miss Gallagher?" the nice young limo driver reaches for my hand. "Yes you may kind sir" i smile at him before he lets go of me to help my 'mother' and 'father' out of the limo. "Hey dad?" "Yea bubba?" "What is this place?" i ask confused that we're at a bar. "The Alibi. Your mother and i used to come here all the time when we were younger so we told you instructor to meet us here." he said sternly "Well i like this place" i say jumping up and down.
Walking into the bar was kinda weird because people were staring at me but i didn't care, i loved the energy here and it was refreshing form what energy i usually get. a nice middle aged girl of color walked over, "Hello, my name is Veronica. what would you like to drink?" she asks all of us but once she finishes a drunk guys stumbles into the bar, "Vodka please!" he yells at the bartender, "Frank, what the hell happened to you?" out waitress yells, walking away from our table, i cant help but listen to there conversation. "My fucking cocky family kicked me out again! they threw me in the trash like i was some kind of animal!" i couldn't help but get up and walk over to the 3. "Hi, my names Casey and i would like to interfere with you little conversation here, if you wouldn't find?" i ask the lovely woman standing in front of me. she smiles grabbing my hand and shaking it, "Why hello Casey, my names Veronica, this is my husband Kevin, and this here is Frank, Frank Gallagher. he.." i cut her off by yelling "GALLAGHER!?!?!" i scream, tears rolling down my tears which makes Veronica and Kevin worried. "Hun whats wrong?" Veronica asks me. "M-m-my n-names Casey G-g-gallagher..." i said full blown sobbing. they all stair at me in shock, including my so called dad. "Wait i have another kid!?" my dad yells. suddenly the bar door swings open with a about 2 years older than me, a boy, and another girl run in toward Frank, my father. "Frank! we told you not the come here!" the older boy yells. Frank just stares at him in shock, the boy looks at Kevin, "What the hell is wrong with him? Why isn't he talking?" he asks , "Lip... you have another sister man." he stares at Kevin for a few moments before turning to Frank. "WHERE IS SHE YOU BUSTARD!" the boy screams, making me jump, then all 6 of them look at me. the boy walks up to me. "How old are you?" he asks me. "14" "Where are you 'parents'?" he asks me again. i point to my adopted parents but once they see him look at them they run out of the bar. "WHAT THE FUCK!" i scream running after them, i was being held back by the boy, and the two others. "Let those bastards go! they took you from us." i stop squirming and turn around slowing, my face completely normal which freaks them out, except for the boy and my "dad." My name is Casey Gallagher" i bring my hand out to shake it but nobody shakes my hand, Frank speaks up saying "I see she got Monica's Bipolar" he laughs before taking a big drink of his Vodka. i stare at him before asking him "First of all, how do you know i have Bipolar and Second... who the hell is Monica!?!?" i ask before being dragged out of the bar.
As i was walking with the 3 others i finally spoke up confused on where we were going "Where are we going?!" i ask "You'll see Casey" the boy says. i don't even know there names.. "What are your guy's names?" i ask in an excited tone. "Wow she really does have Monica's Bipolar" the 2 laugh until the boy speaks up "My names Lip, short for Philip, that girl is Mandy and that is her brother, Mickey" Lip, my older brother says "Ok let me get this straight, your my brother" i pointed to Lip, who nodded in agreement "and you two are just with him?" "Yes and i'm taking you to Fiona, your older sister" Lip speaks in a calm manor. "Ooo fun! but first i need to find my 'parents', all me clothing, my phone, shoes, bags, and money is with them.. i also have a dance convention for the next 2 weeks so" they all just stare at me in shock. "Are those jordan's?!" Mandy asks me "Yea. my dad got them designed personally just for me!" i smile widely before starting to skip towards the house we were right in front of. "I'm mixed.. you know that right!?" i ask Lip. "No i didn't notice" he says sarcastically which makes me laugh a little. Walking up steps to a house i stopped mid way. "Wait... what are we doing her?" i ask Lip, Mandy, and Mickey. "For you to meet your siblings!" they said in unison. i walked up the steps. Lip opens the door and walks in, leaving me with Mickey and Mandy. Mandy whispers in my ear. "Make sure to get along with your twins brother Casey." she says smirking.

TWIN?!?!?!?!?!
