"Do you Alacia bell take carl Gallagher to be your husband"
"I do." I said looking into carls eyes.
"Do you Carl Gallagher take Alacia Bell to be you lovely be wedded wife."
"I do"
"Then Id like to be the first to say congratulations Mr and Mrs Gallagher. And Mr Gallgher, you may kiss your bride."
He leaned in and kissed me. And then he stopped.
"Alacia"
"Alacia"
"Alacia. Get up." Lip said shaking me.
"Lip what the hell are you doing here" i asked him.
"I thought you were coming to college with me"
"Yeah at like 1"
"Its 12:30"
"Shit" i said getting up. "Sorry."
"Its fine. What were you dreaming about he asked"
"Nothing" i said while changing.
"But you were smiling in your sleep. Its ok im not gonna tell anyone your secret what were you dreaming about"
"I was getting married" i told him
"Was it Carl"
"I-" im not gonna admit it "no what the fuck. It was Pete Davidson."
"Gross"
"Do you ever think about how you're the product of franks ugly ass"
"So is carl. yet you kissed him."
"Ive made mistakes in my youth"
"It was two weeks ago" He said and i threw my pajama shorts at him "was it not?"
"My youth, Philip" i said picking up a bag "lets go"
We went to the college and I didn't exactly know why i was there. We got to lips dorm and some dude walked in
"Hey lip can i- woah. Whos she?" He asked.
"im Alacia" i said while looking through a book
"Well hey im Zach" I looked up and noticed he was kind hot
"Well hi Zach"
"So. Where you from? are you another Gallagher?"
"Im a Ball. But i live next door to the Gallaghers. And im from here. " i said as he sat next to me on lips bed.
"That must be crazy" he said "you wanna grab a coffee"
"I dont actually like coffee"
"They have other things like tea and stuff"
"Do they have snacks. I didn't eat this morning"
"They do."
"Yay" i said with mini claps
"What's going on" lip asked
"Nothing" i said standing up. "Hes just gonna take me to get a snack"
I told zach to just get up.
"Shes 15"
"My age has nothing to do with a snack Philip."
"Move along zach" lip told him
He left and lip grabbed his bag.
"I hate you" i said as he walked past me.
"Lets go get your snack."
I followed him to the caffe and i got a muffin and we walked to a class room.
"Lip who's your friend" a really old man said
"This is Alacia." Lip said. "Shes just gonna help me grade some test"
"Do you want a juice box alacia"
"No"
Lip got me a chair and gave me the answer key and a pen.
"Be careful" he told me "dont put the final grade on"
"Its not in in any multiple of 100 so i cant dumbass"
"I like your sister lip"
The class started and I started grading papers. The old man was talking and I completely tuned him out.
"Um yes" i heard and i looked up.
"Whos that girl and why is she coloring" a girl asked
"Just pay attention to the lecture please" the man said
"What her name" i whispered to lip
"Moriah Connor" he told me.
"She needs to pay attention" i said to myself
Once I finished I actually did start coloring or doodling. I saw my phone light up and I looked at it.
Carl
Are we hanging out later.
If you want to yeah.
Yeah i want to
Ok. Ill text you when i get home
I smiled at my phone and put it face down on the desk.
"What was that" lip whispered.
"Nothing"
"Lip. No talking" the old man said.
So he resorted to texting me.
Phillip (who isnt a poet sadly)
What are you smiling about
Just happy
Hey have you and carl talked about it
No
there's nothing to talk about
Have you guys done it again
Dont wanna confuse him
Whats confusing
I dont want him to catch feelings and then we get together and we break up
And what if its bad and then we cant be friends
Then id stop talking to you and debbie and ian. And when my mother drags me to your house ill be miserable
Theres no possible way youll ever be able to stop talking to me.
Uh ohhh that sounds like a speech
✨BLOCKED✨
You will be unblocked when you forget about what you saw
I put the phone down. And continued to doodle until the class was over. When it was lip and i went back to his dorm.
I was sitting at his desk on the computer when some girl walked in.
"Hey lip. So we saw you today with that girl-"
"And it was so hot. You're like a father figure which probably means i should call you daddy" finishing the comment i heard for the past ten minutes "i understand lip is hot or whatever but can you let the man take me home before you try to have an orgy."
"Sorry ladies i need to get this little one home." He said putting his hand on my shoulder.
"Haha better idea i go alone"
"You sure?" He asked me "you're a fifteen year old girl."
"Who was left with carl the majority of her childhood. If I wasn't being violent i was running from Carls violent ass. Which is who im gonna go see." I told him. "See you when i see you."
"Yeah text me when you get to Carl" He said and i didn't respond "Alacia"
"Alright alright"
After a bus ride. Getting food and some cat call filled walking I ended up at home. I called carl and he came into my room five minutes later.
"I got popcorn shrimp and frenchie fries" i told him while he sat down.
"Hey can we go to my house"
"Yeah sure" we grabbed the food and walked over to his house.
"Are you good"
"Yeah. When are you gonna let me cut that off" i said pointing to the little things on the side of his head.
"Never"
"No. One day" i told him while eating the fries "are you okay"
"Yeah. Trying to focus on myself" he told me.
"Thats good."
We talked awkwardly for an hour and then we went up to his room.
"What do you wanna watch" he asked me
"Anything"
"Ok"
He turned on some movie. And we got under a blanket to watch it. Nice and cozy my guy.
A sex scene came on and we sat through it but when it was over carl seemed a little off.
"Whats wrong" i asked him.
"Do you think i ever had a chance with Dominique"
Were still on this bitch
"No. Not really. Shes very demanding and yeah you're submissive but i still think eventually you would crash and burn"
"So how did you guys work"
"We didn't"
"Oh"
We continued to watch the movie till eventually i fell asleep.
Carls pov
I looked over and realized she was asleep. I got out of the bed and went downstairs. I saw lip and ian talking.
"What are you assholes talking about"
"Nothing." Ian told me with a smirk.
"Tell me."
"The night I decide not to be here something happens."
"What"
"He's talking about you and Alacia" lip told me.
"Fuck" i said while sitting down
"Do you like her" Ian asked
"Does he like her? This is my best friend." Lip said "do you love her"
"I dont know"
"Well how does she make you feel"
"Guys this is a shit show of a conversation" we heard alacia say
I looked at her and she was wearing my shirt and thats it. Maybe some underwear and a bra but no pants.
"Iannn" She said while walking up to him "how is it taking it up the ass"
"I dont take i give."
"Yeah sure. What are you guys talking about?" She asked sitting in my lap. She has on underwear
"Theres more chairs."
Alacias pov
Carls seat was the closest to me. So i sats. I sit in my other friends laps so I didn't think about it.
"You guys are just too cute" ian smiled.
"I know. Im very cute. Carls alright" i said and he wrapped his arms around me. "And he agrees"
"When are you two gonna get together"
"I dont know" Carl said
"Never. Once Dominique realizes you're doing something for you, her need for attention will get higher and higher and she'll come crawling back to you."
"Really?"
"Seen it happen once. It'll happen twice" i said. "Carl. Go back to bed."
"Why"
"I wanna watch another movie. So go pick one."
I stood up so he could go and once he left I sat back down
"You two fuckers are worse than highschool girls" i told them "carl is focusing on carl. Leave him be. Dont make him think about me at the moment i am the least of his worries. He needs a job. A girlfriend and a life that doesn't include drugs"
"Not possible when your dad is frank Gallagher." Ian said under his breath
"For the past forever you two have been shitting your demands on me this one time im telling you, stop trying to get us together. Lip, stop telling people what you saw. Ian, dont say shit to carl. Both of you dont say a word about this ever again"
"I uh also told v, kevin and Fiona"
"You told my dad? When?"
"A couple of hours ago."
"Im gonna die when i get home"
"Youll be fine Mrs Gallagher" ian said.
"Arent you dating mickey while fucking a firefighter nurse man."
"A what?"
"You heard me bitch. Im gonna go now."
"Nice pajamas" lip said
"Thank you"
I went back upstairs and got in bed with carl. This time he fell asleep first.
