I warned you// Carl Gallagher/Ethan Cutkosky Love Story

Lilly

"Skylar I wanna thank you" she said.

"For what" I asked, utterly confused.

"Carl hasn't gotten suspended or in any major trouble since you've been here. I know you both get in trouble a lot and I know soon enough you guys will get into trouble but he's been happier and nicer these past two weeks" I smiled

"Thank you Fiona" I smiled, but wincing because it hurt.

"Anytime Skylar" I could hear Carl coming down the stairs. "You can tell me anything you know" I knew where she was getting at. Carl jumped on the couch next to me. I turned to him.

"You told her, didn't you" he stayed quiet and looked down. I scoffed and turned to Fiona.

"Yeah. Since he told you. My dad beats the shit out of me. So what?" She looked at me with sympathy.

"Hun you don't have to tell me. I told you. You can tell me anything but I'm not gonna push you" I looked over at the front door, making sure they can't see the tears in my eyes. Nobody's ever nice to me. Ever. I'm not used to it.

I feel an arm around me and I look over to see Carl with his arm wrapped around me. I smiled a little bit. I have never opened up to anyone, but for some reason I feel like these are my people to open up to.

I sigh...

"When I was twelve, I had a little sister, Lilly. She was 6." I start. I look over to see Debbie sitting down too. She can hear, she saw it too.

"One night we went outside and we were sitting on the porch. I forget what we were doing, but my dad walked up on the porch with two guys. He picked up Lilly and told me he'd be right back. I didn't know what he was doing, I was only twelve. So I ran inside to get a drink. When I got inside, my mom asked me where Lilly was. I told her that my dad and his friends took her out back for something, and she looked really confused. When she walked out back,
I followed her." I took a deep breath. They were all intently listening, so I continued.

" when we got outside, I saw my dad and his one friend holding her down while the other one-" I felt tears fall. " he was raping her. I knew what rape was I mean I learned about sex when I was 7. But she was crying and yelling on how it hurt. She had a hand print across her face, and I guessed he slapped her. My mom immediately ran outside and tried getting her. I ran inside and called the police, telling them what was happening. My dad stormed in and threw the phone I was holding against the wall. He started hitting me. The cops eventually showed up and my dad ran. I got up and walked outside to see them covering my sister with a white blanket. My mom was crying. I was so confused.

"So I walked up to a cop and asked why they covered her with a blanket. My mom came over and told them she's gonna show me. The cop told her it wasn't a good idea but she didn't listen. She walked me over to the blanket and lifted it up. There was a lot of blood. Blood everywhere. One of them slit her throat before my mom got to her." I looked up and everyone was crying. Even Carl. I continued.

"Everyday I still wish it was me. I wish that he would've chosen me over her." I said quietly. Suddenly Carl pulls me on his lap and holds me. I start crying more. I haven't cried in three years and it sucks. I feel more arms wrapped around me and I look up to see everyone- Fiona, Debbie, Ian, Lip, and Liam all hugging me.

"Uh.. Did you hear any of that?" I ask. They nodded.

"We're sorry for eavesdropping but we saw that you were sad and I don't know" Ian rambled.

"It's okay" I said.

"So now your dad hits you and stuff?" Fiona asks. I nod. "Has he ever, yanno, done it with you?" She asks again. I shake my head no.

"Thankfully he hasn't. But I mean I can't say it'll never happen. If he did it to a six year old he can do it to a fifteen year old."

"No. That's not gonna fucking happen" lip said. "You're staying here from now on". I shake my head.

"No I can't. I can't let you guys do this" they all look at me weirdly.

"You think that we're gonna let you go back there when you just told us that?" Carl said. I smiled.

"I love you guys" I said. They all smiled. "Can we change the subject? I just don't feel like talking about it more today"

"Oh yeah. Totally. Hey Debs do you have your squirrel fund money yet?"

Alright guys so this was the longest chapter I've written so far! I know it was sad and depressing but more drama will kick in, and Skylar and Carl might get into some trouble soon.
