chapter 3

i didnt have to go to school today since i got a tooth pulled and i walk downstairs to the kitchen to see steve and fiona "hey its isabelle" steve says "hey it's dead man walking, jimmy clifton called today looking for you" i say and laugh "no school?" steve asks me "nah got some teeth pulled" i tell him opening the fridge "wisdom teeth?" he questions "sugar rot" i tell him grabbing a bottle of cranberry juice out of the fridge "little known fact dont chew your food on one side of the mouth because it can buckle your jaw which will buckle your hips and affect your posture" he tells me and i laugh "oh is that a fact?" i ask "skeletal fact" he tells me sounding serious "hey iz?" fiona says and i look at her "fuck off" she mouths to me "hey um talk out of your ass with that much conviction, you end up needing a much bigger toothbrush. thats a anal fact" I say to him tuning around and walking up to my room to lay down. I ended up falling asleep when Ian and lip ran into our room. Well lip was limping and Ian was holding him up helping him move faster.

I get up off my bed to help lip sit on my bed "shit you guys ok" I ask and before they can answer Fiona storms in "what the hell happened?" she asks us looking at me specifically because I'm the one that is supposed to keep these two out of trouble "I don't know, I was sleeping" i tell her and Ian says "some lady on the train lip was helping" and she sits on the bed examining lips foot

"Really an old lady on the train" fiona says holding lips hurt foot in her hands. "oh, yeah yeah the doors were closing on her walker, and lip barely got his foot out in ti-" ian is cut off "jesus fiona" lips says pulling his injured foot back and out of our sisters hands "I can't remember if that's good or bad, more likely you guys jumped the turnstiles again, and he twisted it running from the transit cops" "no always elevate extremities, move before you give him a fucking embolism" veronica says walking into our room. "are you ok lip?" she asks him "yes yes just please don't touch it" "wiggle your toes, ian go to my house, top of the freezer two ice packs, second cupboard above the sink liquid ibuprofen, freeze spray, ace bandages. my bedroom top of the TV, pack of smokes and a lighter." "ok" ian says putting on his jacket walking out of our room.

Then we hear knocks coming from the front door. "shit" lip says hiding under the blankets on my bed ian runs back into the room hiding under the desk by the bottom bunk "we aren't here" "you don't know us fiona" they both say. fiona gets up "what have you done, what have you done!!" fiona yells walking downstairs. I get up and sit next to lip, "what the hell did you guys do" i ask them laughing and pulling a cigarette out of the drawers next to my bed lighting it.

"what'd you do lip?" i ask my after ian leaves "i took ian to karens to get a blow job" lip tells me "why he's gay" i tell lip handing him my cigarette confused "i just wanted to see what would happen, like if he is really gay or bi. some shit like that " lip says "how were you gonna do that?did you have a guy there too?" i ask joking "no, it was only karen and i was gonna see if he got hard from her" lip tells me giving the cigarette back "well did he?" i ask, and he shrugs his shoulders "i dont know, karens dad was still home and caught us. so i jumped out the window and twisted my ankle" lip says to me "how? the windows arent that high off the ground" i say "no the second story window" lip says playing with his fingers "you jumped out a second story window?" i ask, and he nods "fucking dumbass" i say laughing shaking my head and veronica and ian walk back in

"okay lip, im gonna touch your foot because i have to wrap it" veronica tells him "ok" lip says closing his eyes because his foot hurt real bad and veronica started wrapping it "ow fuck" lip yells in pain "dont be a little bitch lip" i say rolling my eyes and veronica successfully wraps lips foot, and we make our way downstairs.

I help him because he can't walk properly. I sit him down at the table and see a brand-new Samsung washer "what the hell, where did that come from" I asked her. "these were in the washer" fiona tells veronica "steve? who's steve" veronica asks "from the other night at the club" "no" V says to her. "yeah" fiona says to her
