***For the purpose of the multi-chapter FF Ian Gallagher and Mickey Milkovich don't know each other but Ian is still best-friends with Mandy and they live together. Mickey ran away from home and still has contact with his sister. [Every chapter will be in Ian Gallagher's POV]***

When my alarm clock went off I was glad to wake up to the smell of Mandy cooking. Her meals aren't the best but are still half decent. I got up put some joggers over my pants and went to the kitchen. "Smells good." I tried hard not to say that in the most sarcastic manner.

"Be glad I'm even cooking," she says with a smile, "I don't fucking cook for just anyone, ya' know?" She said as she gave me a hug and I returned it. "I haven't seen my brother in almost 4 months," she said seeming sad, "Can we go visit him later?"

"Sure," I said stealing a piece of bacon from the pan. She has told me about her bother once or twice but never really talked about him into much detail. "So where is your brother anyway?" Knowing him he was probably in fucking jail or something.

"He lives in Detroit," she said throwing me an orange juice box. "It's about 10 hours away from Chicago's South Side."

"Alright so when do you want to leave?" I said as I found one of my T-shirts on the floor and put it on.

"Well we have a few more days of school then it's march break so I figure we leave this Friday." She said this as if she had already planned this.

"And today's Wednesday right?" I said yawning.

"Right." She gave me a grin.

2 Days Later

"Are you ready to go yet?" I screamed waiting in the hallway for Mandy to her her ass up. She's the one who planned this yet she didn't exactly prepare herself.

"Yeah, calm the fuck down already," she walked through the door gave me a dirty look then locked the door. "Come on let's go!" she said with a smile.

We put all the luggage's in the truck of the shitty car we bought 5 months ago. We started driving at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. We reached a old shitty motel roughly near Cleveland. We were on the road for 7 hours and we both had taken turns driving. It was 9 o'clock… roughly and we were fucking tired. The hotel costed 25$ for the night. We paid half-half. They gave us a one bedroom room with one bed. We brought or luggage's to the room. Mandy took a shower and joined my in the bed.

When we woke us it was 11 o'clock in the morning and we decided to go find a diner that was still serving breakfast. We brought back or luggage's and put 'em in the car and headed for the road, we found a diner about 20 minutes away from the motel we stayed the night at.

About two hours later we were finished our breakfast and we headed back on the road with about 3 to 4 hours left to go.

"Want me to drive?" Mandy asked looking at me with a stern look. Then she started laughing. I smiled back.

"Yeah that'd be great." I said pulling over. We switched seats and continued on.
