"in canada?" fiona asked tony.

tony was a police officer, he was always nice to fiona and the rest of the family. tony's helped me out of a few messes too.

"wait, how?" lip asked.

"email from the embassy says he admitted to drug charges but that's before they accused him, so they think he's a juicer head case." tony explained.

"they charge him?" steve asked.

"no. they just want him off canadian soil as soon as possible. but the us won't let him back in without his passport." tony explained.

"frank doesn't have a passport." fiona said.

"he'll have to apply for one." tony said.

fiona passed the page over to lip while he and i looked over at it.

"how long does that take?" i asked.

"couple months i think." tony replied.

"months?" fiona said freaked out.

"he can apply for an emergency one at embassy in toronto." tony said.

"how long does the emergency one take?" fiona asked.

"i don't know. a week maybe." tony told her.

"kev has a passport." veronica pointed out.

"and what good does that do?" kevin asked.

"you could drive up there help him with the paper work at the embassy. pick up a pile of cheap pharmaceuticals sell them to the local geezers and the old folks at my nursing home." veronica said.

"could i just... fuck v. uh, no offense tony." kevin asked.

"yeah, yeah, yeah." tony said sticking his fingers in his ears.

"cars not insured. boarder patrol asks for proof of insurance to get back in i wind up in the loony bin next to frank. yeah. you're good." kevin said patting tony on the back as he took his fingers out of his ears.

as it turns out, steve was the one who smuggled frank across the boarder and now he needed a plan to get him back.

the whole gallagher family including steve, kev, v and myself were all on the front step looking at an old trailer.

"what the hell is that?" kevin asked.

"our ride." steve replied.

lip and i went upstairs to do our calculus homework after tony kicked us out of the kitchen. i saw lip look over at me with a small smile on his face and i looked up.

"you know, surprisingly all this bullshit with frank kept me distracted from my mom, so thanks." i said as lip chuckled.

"you're welcome i guess." lip said as he sat closer to me.

"you know, if it's a distraction you need i can always help you." lip said as i looked up at him.

i found myself looking down at his lips and i felt him looking at mine. before i knew it he was grabbing my face and smashing his lips on top of mine. his lips were soft and warm it felt like i was an addict on drugs and lip was the drug i needed.

his hands wrapped around my lower back as mine made their way around his neck and i pulled him closer as his lips kept moving on top of mine lusciously.

but we both broke apart as soon as we heard the door bust open. it was frank.

"don't ever go to fucking canada." frank said as he looked around for something.

"what are you looking for?" lip asked him.

"my hat." frank replied.

"i think i saw it downstairs." i told him.

frank let out a groan and closed the door. i looked at lip and pulled his face back over to mine and started attacking him with my lips but i felt him pull away.

"hey, sorry but i feel like we should follow him." lip said.

"okay, let's go." i said as i stood up and lip followed behind me.

"but we can do a lot of that later." lip whispered in my ear making shivers go down my body.

lip and i had never done anything like that before in all our years of knowing each other, but it felt right.

we walked a distance away so frank wouldn't see us following him but frank was getting a little too far. i came up with a plan when i saw a kid on a bike.

"hey, hand me that rock." i told lip.

once he passed me the rock i threw it at the kid making him fall off the bike.

"you're evil." lip said with a laugh.

"i know." i replied lifting the bike up as lip got on and i was riding on the handle bars.

"please don't let me fall." i said looking back at lip.

"don't worry." lip replied as we took off following frank to a house.

we saw him walking down the stairs with his bag over his shoulder.

"moving out again?" lip asked his father.

"fuck off. i don't like the way i'm being talked to around my own house." frank said.

"like what?" lip asked.

"you never got me this dad. when can i have that dad? yak, yak, fucking yak. all six of you. never mind i'm a single parent. never mind you wouldn't be alive if it wasn't for me. surround sound bitching is the only thanks i get. life is hard, we all know that. money is harder. i can only stretch it so far." frank said walking as lip followed behind on the bike while i still hung on.

"do you even know how much we spend a week on groceries?" lip asked him.

"too much. that's how much." frank replied.

"120$ fiona pays 70, me and ian go in 25 each." lip said.

"plus gas, electric, taxes." frank said.

"we pay that." lip told him.

"about time you contribute." frank said.

"you know how much you spend a month at the alibi?" lip asked.

"none of your damn business." frank replied.

"over 700." lip told him.

"that's kevin, right? my friend kevin, telling you that behind my back? well, he screwed the golden goose now. watch what happens to his tips when i boycott the alibi." frank said amusing lip and i.

"and go where?" lip asked.

"the lamplight." frank replied.

"you're barred." lip said.

"the fountain." frank said.

"barred." lip said again.

"elmo's head." frank said.

"burned to the ground like two weeks ago. arson. i don't need kev to tell me. i check your pockets every night." lip said making frank angry.

"lip go." i said seeing frank was running near us.

lip biked away as frank threw a rock but missed.

"you better run." frank said.

then lip and i followed frank to another house and watched him get thrown out. as he was walking away lip rode up behind him.

"forget you owe him money?" lip asked.

"everybody think i owe them money." frank argued.

"well, didn't you pawn his flat screen." i spoke up.

"i've been nothing but a friend to that fat jigga prick." frank said.

"and his microwave." lip added.

"i won't say it twice. go home." frank said.

"what?" lip asked.

"i won't say it twi-" frank said then looked back at lip and i to see us grinning.

"okay. people are laughing. but they only thought toronto was funny once they knew you were okay." lip told him.

"i didn't split like your mom did. i could have." frank said as lip biked back.

we went back to the house to see no one was home and we were making some lunch when steve came at the door looking for fiona. when he left we got back to doing homework.

"so, should we talk about what happened earlier?" i asked him.

"mel... look, i just thought i'd distract you it didn't mean anything." lip told me as he sat beside me and looked down at my lips for a second.

"you're sure it meant nothing?" i asked him as i felt myself getting closer.

"absolutely nothing." lip said quietly.

"good." i said as he grabbed my face and smashed our lips together.

we started making out and we were kissing each other hard. lip took my shirt off and then he started kissing my neck as i tilted my head back and closed my eyes. i took his shirt off then off came our pants as fast as the shirts.

there's one thing i knew for sure, i never thought in all my years i'd be having sex with lip fucking gallagher.

-

i woke up the next morning wrapped up in lips arms. he was still asleep so i looked over at him and he looked so peaceful. i nuzzled up in his neck and i felt him move.

"hey." lip said in a tired voice as he kissed the top of my head.

"hi." i said looking up at him as i kissed his lips and i felt him kiss me back softly.

"what're you doing today?" i asked him.

"whatever you're doing." lip replied as i chuckled.

"well i have to go to my grandmas house so she knows i'm still alive." i told him as he nodded and snuggled up closer to me.

"can we just lay here a little longer." lip asked as i let out a sigh.

"unfortunately not, but i'll be back soon." i said putting my shirt back on.

i hope you guys like this, i kinda feel like i'm already running out of ideas but hopefully it'll get better
