*LIPS POV*
Lip walks into the Gallagher house slamming the back door and storming upstairs. The other Gallagher kids sitting in the living room wondering whats the matter.

"Lip? Everything okay?" Fiona calls out to her younger brother.

Lip doesn't respond he just goes straight to his room slamming the door behind him.
What the fuck is her problem. Why does she have to question everything I do. I stay out of her life why can't she stay out of mine? I don't need her. What Karen and I are doing is none of her fucking business. It's not my fault she's jealous I can't spend all my fucking time with her.
Lip jumps up on to his bed to lie down. He and Rae have always been close but lately he can't help but take offense to everything she says. Lip feels himself slowly falling asleep.

*RAES POV*
I hear my phone going off, It's Amy a friend of mine I work with at the diner.
"Hey Amy!"
"Holy fuck Rae listen! That kid Warren is having a huge party tonight! And we're going!"
"I don't know, Am-"
"No excuses, I'm picking you up from work tonight and we are going to that party! You gotta let loose, babe! Get out there! Stop hanging out with that Gallagher kid so much and hang out with me!"
Before I can even respond she hangs up on me.
She is right I do need to let loose more. I used to party a lot more but then I got sick, and was doing really bad in school. Now I just do my best to stay on the right track. You can't have both. But I need to do well in school so I can get into a good college, get a good job and be able to take care of my mom one day.
Just one party won't hurt right? I should go home and get ready for work.

*LIPS POV*
I wake up a couple hours later to see Ian sitting on his bed. He's staring at me very concerned.
"Bad day?"
I stretch after jumping down from my bed.
"Nah, just got into a little fight with Rae. No big deal, Don't want to talk about it."
"Whatever you say. Speaking of Rae, she told me that Warren kid you wrote that essay for? he's having a party tonight and she's wants me to come. You should come too."
"Nah, I got plans with Karen which I'm already late for. I'll see you in a bit."

On my way down the street I see Fiona carrying groceries, I run over to see if she needs help. Before I can even offer Fionas already nagging me about earlier.
"Hey what was all that about Lip?"
"Nothing important, bad day. You need some help?"
I reach out to grab some of the bags out of Fionas hands.
Karen can wait 5 more minutes.
"You going out tonight?"
"Yeah, I'm going to head over to Karen's. I'll be back later."
"Before you go I gotta talk to you about something!"
She sounds serious. I mean Fiona usually is, but recently she's been having a harder time with Frank and isn't her usual self.
"Carl's about to get expelled from school. I need to get Frank on board to come to Parent- teachers night!"
"Good fucking luck"
"I know, it's nearly impossible. If I can't make it happen I'll need you there okay?"
"Yeah, no problem Fi!"

I give my sister a sympathetic look and head for the door. Getting Frank to go to a parents- teachers night? that'll happen when hell freezes over.
I walk into Karen's house to see Eddie, Karen's dad, Frank and Sheila sitting on the couch watching TV,a weird fucking sight.

"OH PHILIP!"
"Hi, Mrs. Jackson, is Karen home?"
"Yes, sweetie, just hold on!"
"KAREN! KAREN! PHILIP IS HERE!"
Sheila is practically shreiking before I can blink Karen's already down the stairs.
"Hey, you look nice!"
"Thank YOU! I figured I should look nice, since I'll probably be tasting penii tonight?"

Karen's dad gets all stiff and Frank chokes on his drink with a laugh, I have no idea what shes talking about but after that we walk out of her place and start walking towards the train tracks. We lie down on top of a broken down car that's been under the El for years and listen to the train above us, screaming over it sometimes. We do this a lot.

"So, I was talking to Warren and he's having a party tonight, you wanna go?"
"I don't know, high school parties aren't really my thing, Karen, I was hoping we could just sit here tonight. Y'know, just you and I?"
I don't admit it but I mainly don't want to go because I know Rae's going to be there and the last thing I want to do is get into another fight with her.
"Okay, I guess."
"Figured you were going to taste my penii tonight anyways" I can't help but burst into laughter because Karen looks so embarrassed.
"My stupid fucking dad is still pissed about what happened with Ian."
"Is it weird having him back?"
"Incredibly. I do like torturing him though. I doubt he'll be around much longer, he's slowly going crazy since my mom won't feed him real food and just leaves him to get his own food. Which means he only eat cereal."

Karen and I continue to talk about our dad's for a while. She says she doesn't mind having Frank around which I don't understand. I guess he's just as much fun to tortue as her dad. I hate when Frank's around, he's either passed out, yelling, manipulating Carl and Debbie or smacking me and Ian around. Guess he can't do that at Sheilas. Doesn't want to mess up his dream home.
"Hey it's getting late, I should probably take you home!"
With that Karen and I head back to her place.
