"Atlas, it's time to go. You're going to be late for school", Ian shouted
"I'm coming. I'm coming. I'm coming.", Atlas said while walking down the stairs in a hurry, her backpack falling off her shoulder and trying to get her other shoe on.
"Good morning Dad", Atlas placed a kiss on Ian's cheek
"Good morning hun"
"Where's pops?", she said while getting the orange juice out of the fridge
"He had to go to work early. Here's your lunch"
"Thanks, I can make my own lunch y'know"
"Well Fiona made me lunch up until I stopped going to school and now-"
"you want to make me lunch everyday until I graduate", Atlas interrupted, "yes I know, I've heard you say that at least 30 times"
Ian smiled, "than you should stop telling me that you can make your own lunch"
"Orrr I can just drop out of school like you did"
"Ouch" Ian placed his hand over his heart "I knew I shouldn't have told you that"
Atlas laughed
"Oh hey, Mick and I are going to go out tonight"
"Oo so I get the whole house to myself for a few hours!"
"Yeah don't trash it"
"I won't. I gotta get going by-"
"Uh where's my hug?"
"Oh right", Atlas hugs Ian real tight, "bye dad"
"Bye sweetie"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Atlas came back from school. She watched tv until her parents came back.

"Don't you have homework?", Mick asked
"N-no"
"Nice lying. Don't worry I won't tell"
"Mick are you read-" Ian sighed "you're not even ready"
"Calm down Gallagher, it'll only take 3 minutes bitch"
"Mick!"
"What?"
"It's fine dad, I'm fifteen I'm sure it's okay for pops to say bitch"
"Atlas!"
"That's my girl", Mickey smiled and put his hand on Atlas' shoulder

Ian and Mick had left to go god knows where. Atlas ordered herself a pizza and watched tv for the rest of the night cause she had nothing else to do. She fell asleep than was awaken when she heard knocking on the door. She opened the door to see Fiona at the door.

"Fiona?"
"Hey, can I come in?"
"Yeah of course. W-what's wrong?"
"Ian and Mick got in a car crash"
"W-w-what? Wait, they're okay, right? Please tell me they're okay", Atlas was shaking
"Yea they're fine. C'mon let's go to the hospital"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They arrived at the hospital. The other Gallagher's were already there. They went straight to the their room. Ian and Mick were so happy to see their daughter. She hugged Ian than Mickey. They rest of the Gallagher's surrounded them.

"Do you know when you guys are good to leave?", Lip asked
"Tomorrow actually", Ian responded
Lip nodded
"So how bad does it hurt?", Carl asked
"Carl what kind of fucking question is that?", Debbie asked
"What? I'm just wondering"
"It hurts pretty fucking bad", Mick mumbled

Everyone eventually left Atlas to be alone with them while Fiona waited and the rest went home.

"Are you okay?", Ian asked
"Yea yea I'm fine. But are you?"
"Yea I'm fine. Got a broken arm that's all"
"What about you?", Atlas asked Mickey
"Yea I'm good. I've been through worse"
Fiona came in
"We got to get going"
"Okay" she kissed Mickey and Ian on the cheek
"See you tomorrow kiddo"
"Bye"

~ next morning ~

Fiona went to go pick up Ian and Mickey before Atlas woke up. She woke up, sat at the edge of her bed and ran her fingers through her hair.

"You okay?", Carl asked. He sat down beside her
"Yeah I'm fine"
"At least they're alive y'know?"
"Uh yeah"
"What was the "uh" for?"
"It was just a weird thing to say yet again you're weird so I guess it wasn't that weird"
"Yeah but you love my weirdness though", he nudged Atlas' shoulder
"Yeah I do"

Atlas walked down stairs to see Ian and Mick sitting on the couch in the living room. They didn't see her. So she went back upstairs and around to the other side, went down the stairs quietly and rested her chin on the couch.

"Hello boys", she said
They both jumped a little bit
"God damn", Mickey shouted
Atlas laughed than sat down in between the both of them. They were all cuddled up and watched tv. Soon later, the rest of the gang joined them.
