Punch
Drabble One : Things to Come
Somebody called the cops. There are lights filling this house with red and blue hues.
My brother's face is twisted. If this were a cartoon, he'd have steam shooting out of his ears. His eyes would roll up red until a tiny thermometer popped up and ruptured.
I feel like I'm glued against this wall, feeling around the bottom of my mouth with the tip of my tongue to see that my teeth are all still there. It's hard to say. All I can taste is iron. My douchebag brother, he hit me so hard that I can't really see anything if I blink too fast. So I'm having to control what is usually natural. I hear my sister screaming, furious. And she's also stooped down beside me, trying to hug me against her. She's sorry, so sorry, so she says. She didn't mean to say it out loud. Well, she had, but how was she to know Colin was around.
When the door is kicked in, it's all I can do not to laugh. I can feel half of my face, and I'm pretty sure I'm smiling. Like a lunatic.
The cop standing over Colin, cuffing the mad son-of-a-bitch, calls for his partner. "A bus!" he screams. "Call for an ambulance!" And all I can think is these guys should have thought ahead.
His partner is cuffing the guy who just saved my life. My sister, still hugging against me, is cussing the police. And me, I'm finally laughing.
NOTES: HOLY FUCK! Long time no see! For those of you who were keeping up with "The Whore," know that it is on hold now. I'm not giving up on it, but I am stuck. I'll eventually get back around to it, I'm sure. For now, enjoy these drabbles.
What I mean by "sort of AU" is that this takes place in the Shameless we're used to. . .difference is, Mickey hasn't lived in SouthSide since he was 13 and now he's back. There will be other slight differences too, like with Fiona and Lip. Mainly that Fiona left with Jimmy and Lip has taken her place as head of household. From there, we'll see what I come up with. This entire thing is basically a tangent.
Consider these drabbles puzzle pieces to a big picture. I meant for some of them to be vague. For some of them to drop hints at what's actually going on. For others to tell of something totally different. . .but still carry out the plot. And they may not always be in perfect order, on purpose lol. Enjoy!
In case anyone was wondering, I think I must write better when I'm super upset. Because, as some of you knew, I was busy in a relationship. It didn't work out. And suddenly I can write again. Kinda sucks. Actually, it sucks really bad. I need hugs. Long, awkward power hugs.
