Being a Gallgher isn't easy, especially not for Ian's twin Alyssa Gallagher who lives on the southside with her many sibling and alcoholic father who drops in and out whenever he pleases.
Then there's the emotionless asshole who Alyssa just can't s...

After school, Ian and I were at the Kash and Grab, behind the freezers stocking up. When we walked out, we saw Mickey Milkovich leaving with a box of items.
I ran down to the counter when he left, "Hey, did Mickey pay for that?" I asked Kash who just looked down. Ian reached my side, "You have to stand up to him." Kash shrugged, "What the hell was I supposed to say?"
"Here's a thought...how about cut the shit or I'll call the cops!" I scoffed, folding my arms over my chest. "I tried that once with his father," Kash raised his eyebrows. "Mickey's father's in prison now, all right," I told him.
"I don't need any new enemies," Kash scowled. My tongue poked the side of my cheek, "So you're just gonna let him keep coming in here and taking what he wants?" Kash looked up at me, "It's the cost of doing business."
"Fucking pathetic!"
The door open and Mickey strolled back in, I turned to lean my back against the counter as we watched him. He disappeared in an aisle for a moment before striding back to the door, "I forgot the dip." When he left, I glanced at the two males before sighing and following Mickey out.
"You gonna pay for any of that?" He kept walking, "Hmm. No." I let out a dark chuckle, "Then why don't you take your dirty ass back in there and put it back!" I yelled after him.
Mickey stopped and spun on his heel, I gulped as he strode towards me. Stopping only when his face was merely inches from mine as he stared down at me.
"Or what, carrot top?"
He smirked when I didn't answer, "You'll get your big bad brother Lip on me? I beat the shit out of him once, I'll do it again." I scoffed, running my tongue over my bottom lip.
"Listen, I don't need my brother," I took a step closer, only centimetres between us now, "If you don't stop stealing, I'll beat the shit out of you myself!" I spat.
"Cute."
Mickey winked before walking away again, I clenched my jaw looking behind me, Ian and Kash were standing outside the shop. "Jesus, Mickey. Have some civic pride!" Ian called after him. I saw Mickey nod as he turned around.
He takes the dip he'd just stolen out of the box, pausing and then launching it at Ian. He dodged it and it hit the door to the Kash and Grab, breaking open and splattering white liquid everywhere.
"Fuck!"
"What the hell?"
And then he was walking away again, "You know where I live if you have a problem!" Mickey called back to us.
I wandered back over to Kash and Ian with a sigh. Kash pulled his wallet out of his pocket and opened it, taking out a few dollar bills.
