A/N: I thought I'd uplode the next chapter back to back since the first was so short. Enjoy (hopfully)
Mickey's POV
"Hey wake up" Mandy said shaking my bed
"Go away" I mumble swatting at her
"You gotta pick up dad you know how he'll get if your late" she said taking the covers
"Fuck, is the car here? Iggy bring it back?" I ask rubbing my eyes and sitting up
"No but he said he'll be here any minute" she tells me
"You mind making me some coffee?" I ask heading to the bathroom
"You could say please ass face" she scolds heading to the kitchen
I take a piss and a quick shower before getting dressed. When I get to the kitchen Mandy's pouring some coffee in a paper cup. I open the fridge to grab some milk and notice that there is a bunch of stakes and stuff filling it.
"You rob a butcher or something?" I ask fixing up my coffee
"Na this delivery guy's truck broke down, dead phone, the usual. He stopped us and offered to pay Lip a whole five bucks to watch his truck"
"Ass hole" I mumble. I hate people who think that just because we live in this shit hole. That we can't take care of ourselves, like five bucks is a big fucking deal to someone who lives here.
"Yea so we called a few people in the neighborhood and had a fire sale. Lip's kinda a genius" she said with that look in her eye. The look she always gets when she's starting to like someone.
"Must suck liking Gallagher's brother and not being able to do anything about it. Being his beard and all" I said putting the milk back.
"Hey I don't like Lip and if you tell anybody about Ian-"
"Wouldn't embarrass you like that M" I said
Her cell rings before she can comment.
"Hey where the hell are you! You were supposed to bring the car back hours ago! How long?" she looks at the clock "no! Look if you're not here in five minutes I'm gonna deball you, got it! I'm not in the mood for one of dad's tantrums!" she yells.
I feel her on that dad can get really bad if he doesn't get his way. He's easier on Mandy, mostly because she looks like mom.
"I'm gonna go grab something from the store want anything" I said after downing my coffee
"And by grab you mean steal" she said
"You want something or not?" I ask putting on my coat
"Nah I'm good" she says pulling out the slightly over used decorations for dad's welcome home party. I hate that we always have to have a huge party for him, every time he gets out. It's not like he'll be out that long.
"Need anything for the party?" I ask
"I'm good Mick our aunt is supposed to be coming over to help. Plus she's bringing her kids to help." she said
"All right I'll be back in a minute" I said kissing her on the head before heading out
I hear her whisper "I'm gonna miss that"
When dad's not around things at our house are better. We're almost like a real family. Until he comes back dragging us into his 'business'. And scaring the crap out of us with his drunken rages. Just thinking about how much things are about to change at home. Really pisses me off.
By the time I get to the Kash and Grab I'm fuming. I walk in and grab a cup of soup. I'm thinking about getting a six pack for dad. If I'm late he won't be as pissed if I have some beer on me.
"You have to pay for that" a timid voice said
I turn around and see Kash looking at me with a determined look on his face. I'm not really in the mood to deal with his sudden bravery.
"Not the best day to grow some balls" I said
I'm about to get the beer when he pulls out a gun. And aims it at me shakily.
"Put it back Mickey"
"Or what you gonna shoot me? I'm pretty sure you'd need a steadier hand" I said walking over to the counter.
He releases the safety in a sad attempt to make me think he's serious. I wait about two seconds before easily grabbing the gun from him and punching him in the face. I hit him once or twice before remembering that I have something else to do today. I stuff the gun in my pants, grab the soup and beer and head back home. When I get back home Iggy still isn't back yet so I throw the soup in the microwave.
Then I stash the gun in my room, when I come back to the kitchen finally Iggy's there.
"The fuck you been?!" I demand
"Don't remember, sorry I kept the car so long" he said
"Yea well if dad kicks my ass I'm kicking yours" I said grabbing the beer and soup off the table and head to the car.
