when I got back from work I went into my bedroom and there was Ian still in bed. What's up with him?
"yo it's after 5.00 you trying to set some sort of record" I said walking in
"your not still sleeping get up" I said while throwing a pillow at him
"leave me alone" Ian mumbled
"Ian are you high, did you take something" I asked
"go away" he just said back
"okay you want me to call the club at least and tell them-"
"Jesus leave me alone" Ian then shouted cutting me off
then mickey walked into the doorway
"fucks wrong with him" I said to him
but mickey just shook his head then walked off so I just shut the bedroom door and left him there
I decided I should go tell the Gallaghers and see if they know what's going off with him
I went and knocked on there door and carl answered
"hey is lip here" I asked him
"No he is still at collage" carl answered
"shit" I sighed
"why is something wrong" carl asked
"well you might want to come over to mine and see if you can answer that question" I said
Debbie and carl got their coats on and then we walked to mine so they could see if they could try and talk to Ian
"so what's up with him" Debbie asked me as we walked and I carried Liam
"well he was fine until this morning when he wouldn't get out of bed but I figured he was just tired so I just left him and went to work but then when I got back earlier he was still in bed" I explained
"and he has just been ignoring you when you told him to get up" carl said and I nodded
when we got to mine I passed Liam to mickey and opened my bedroom door and carl and Debbie stood looking at him
"Ian" Debbie said "Ian you alright"
but he just ignored her like he did to me
"Ian it's Debbie"
"go away" Ian just quietly mumbled back
"Ian" Debbie tried again but she had no luck
"do you know what this is" I asked her
"yeah we know what this is" she said turning to me
then carl and Debbie both exchanged sad looks
"hey come on let's get Liam back home" I said to them and then I walked back with them
the next morning someone knocked on the door and when I answered it Debbie had came back with Fiona
"hey millie, Debbie and carl told be about Ian" Fiona said
then we all went back to my room while Fiona tried to talk to Ian
she sat on the bed next to him
"hey I could make you a sandwich or I could get my sneakers from the house and we got go for a run at the track" she said to him "you want go for a run get some fresh air"
me and Mickey stood in the doorway and just watched while Ian continued to ignore her
"okay okay" Fiona finally said getting up and leaving him and then walking towards us
she walked into the kitchen and we followed her
"how long as he been like that" she asked me
"since yesterday morning" I replied
"and he hasn't gotten out of bed"
"no he's just sleeping I can't get him up, I tried" I explained
"yeah so did I" mickey added
"and what about before what was he like" Fiona said
"before he was fine, he was happy. staying up all hours of the night dancing, telling fucking jokes. he kicks my ass everyday I can't keep up with him" I answered
"we need to get a hold of lip, he should know" Fiona said looking over to Debbie
"know what, what's wrong with him" I said worried
"uh depression I think" Fiona replied
"what he's depressed, what do you mean he's, we all get fucking depressed. how the hell can we not living around here" I said
"its not that kind of depressed okay" she explained "look I could be wrong but it could be bipolar disease like our mom"
"what the fuck is that" mickey asked worried
"it's manic depression mick" I said
"it's like high highs followed by low lows over and over again" Fiona carried on to explain "we will get him an appointment at the clinic and we will see what they say"
"he may have to be hospitalised" Fiona said
"what do you mean hospitalised, what like a psych ward" I said "No way, no way. he is staying here"
"he could end up suicidal" Fiona reasoned
and I just stopped for a second to try and process everything that she had just said
"look we can take care of him here, you, me us. He's fucking family" I said to her
"look I have to get to a meeting okay we wall call lip and let him know what's going on" Fiona said to Debbie as I got a bottle of beer out of the fridge
"he's not going to some nut house Fiona, he's staying with me" I said before her, Debbie and Liam left
I decided to just listen to Fiona as she would know best after seeing it happen to her own mom.
