A/N: I know it's been 1000 years but anxiety and writers block are not fun. Another chapter should go up today after I edit it a bit. P.S. Thanks to anyone still reading :)

Ian's POV

Nothing! Almost two weeks have gone by and we haven't heard anything about Mick's case. Well except that the video evidence of Kash and me fucking has disappeared. Making it harder to prove that I hadn't fatal attractioned Kash. And that Rachel was or is trying to keep the case from going to trial. Other than that Mandy and I have been shut out, I mean I know that his lawyer is working on it but I wish she would work faster.

And all the drama at home isn't helping what with Monica being back. Which is the last thing we all need, I've been selfishly avoiding all the drama by staying at the motel Mick took me to. I've been trying to focus on school to keep me distracted. When we have a break and we're sitting out in the back of school I finally get to ask Mandy for an update.

"So anything new yet about Mick?" I ask Mandy while she lights her cigarette

"His lawyer said that at this point no news is good news. I mean by having the gun he violated his probation, so he's just sitting in juvie until they decide the official charges." She explains

"You been over to visit him?" I ask

"No. Those dyke guards pat you down like amateur gynecologist." She said shuttering

"I wish we could be doing more." I said taking a drag from her cigarette

"Yea I know. I wish I would've known about you guys sooner." She said bumping my shoulder

After we got home that night, I called Mandy and told her about Mick and me. I figured it would be easier to tell the truth. Also it's nice not worrying about Mick alone.

"Mandy" Lip said walking over to us and taking the cigarette from me

"Lip."

"That's a nice outfit. What is that, uh, pirate wench?"

"You like?" She asks him, he doesn't say anything he just gives her an approving flirty smirk.

"What's your, uh, third period?" He asks turning to me

"Health. Why?"

"Cause we need to miss some school" he said

"See you and keep-"

"You posted I will promise" Mandy says as we leave

"Dude I feel like I barely see you lately where the hell have you been?" Lip asks

"Spiraling" I said as we clear the school

"Well on the home front Monica took Liam and got DNA test to prove that he isn't Franks."

"And if he isn't?" I ask

"They're going to try and take him"

"Why so Monica can play house for what maybe a year, and then dump him back with us?" I said pissed

"Like she could really last a year. You shoulda seen her scrambling around this morning, trying to play mom." Lip said his eyes looking a little watery

"Sorry I haven't been around…it's just-"

"Nah man I get it one disaster at a time" he said stopping in front of a car

"Um where'd you get the car?" I ask getting in

"Barrowed it from Steve. I've been working with him a bit."

"Doing what?" I ask as we drive away. I can tell by the look he gives me whatever it is, is not legal. "Better not let Fiona find out about it or she'll kill you. And him."

"You doing okay?" He ask as we stop by the house

"Lot going on." I said staring out the window

"Yea it's weird having Monica back"

"Yea that too" I said still lost in thought

"Is this about what happened with Kash?" he asks concern leaking into his voice

"It's kinda hard to explain"

"Try me"

I take a deep breath before explaining.

"Mickey's gay and we're sort of dating, and Mickey shot Kash because of me. Kash snapped and tried to…Mickey saw and shot him. Now he's rotting in juvie because of Linda, who found out about Kash and me and is blackmailing Kash into giving her another baby. Now she's trying to convince the cops that I'm just some obsessed kid, who lied so that Mickey would shoot Kash. So if they believe her not only could Mickey go to jail, I could be arrested for attempted premeditated murder. I mean nobody's said that but it's a given if the cops believe Linda's story."

"Holy shit" Lip said stunned

"Yeah. Oh here they come." I said watching Monica and Bob come out of the house with Liam

Lip focuses back on what we were doing and starts the car.

"I think I'm gonna go see him today"

"Who Mickey?"

"Yea"

"I'll drive you after we're done"

"Thanks" I said giving him a thankful smile

"No problem dude"

We follow Monica and Bob to the clinic and wait. It takes maybe ten minutes, and when they come out Bob does not look happy.

"Wow. They looked unhappy." Lip said watching them leave

"Yeah" I said as we get out of the car and head into the clinic.

"The two women who just left must not have been happy with the news they got." Lip said to the girl at the front desk.

"Oh, yeah, happens. Had a guy last month hang himself from a pipe in the men' room." She said barely looking up from her computer. "So, can I help you?" she asks finally looking up.

"Yeah, I think, maybe you can." He said

After telling the women what we wanted she explains how the DNA test works and gave us two envelops. Then we leave and head home.

"You sure you're ready for this?" Lips asks as we head upstairs to our room.

"Hell, yeah. I mean, just because Liam's Frank's doesn't mean the rest of us are."

"Yep." Lip agrees "All right. It says here, all we have to do is…swab our own cheeks and send it back in."

"Yeah, and pay them $150 bucks each."

"On the off chance we're not related to Frank…it's totally worth it. Open up." He said getting up, I let him swab the inside of my cheek and watch him put the swab in the tube. "It's actually pretty cool. There's a lot of shit we could figure out about ourselves in here."

"Yea, like, uh, if we got the alcoholic gene from Frank." I said snickering

"Yeah, or the dummy gene from Monica."

"Or, uh, if any of us is gonna turn out to be gay."

"Nice." He said lifting his hand for a high five. "Come on I'll go mail this then I can take you to go see Mickey"

I'm happy I told Lip about what's going on, it was nice to unload. I just hope there's some good news when I go to see Mick.
