2. The American Dream

„Morning Gallaghers and Jimbo", Bonnie said walking into the kitchen. Mandy walked out of the toilet wearing nothing but a shirt.

„Morning Bonnie. Tell your girlfriend to wear clothes, Lip", Fiona said. „Not her keeper", the boy only replied. „Don't look if you don't like what you see", the Milkovich girl said. „Sweet", Carl Said making Bonnie look up from her plate of scrambled eggs. „Carl, don't look", she said holding her hands in front of the boys eyes.

„Pants. Now", Fiona said pulling out a towel of a laundry basket. „Jesus", Mandy only said. „Hey you going to school today?", she asked Lip totally ignoring Fiona. „No later! Gonna skip my first periods so I can clock community service hours", the boy replied.

„Adding the last fifty bucks to the property tax. That should bring us right around where we need to be", he said. „I didn't put in the money from that last toxic-waste gig i had yet", Fiona said looking first at Steve and then at Bonnie. „Okay, that's cool. Hand it over. I'll drop it off before community service, pay the tax man", Lip said counting the money and looking at his sister every now and then.

„I don't have it", Fiona said. „Don't have what?" „The money. I used it to put down a deposit on a club night", She told her brother. Bonnie looked at Lip and than gave Jimmy a signal to take the youngest kids to school.

„Alright. Debs, Carl, let's go. School time", Jimmy said getting the look Bonnie gave him. „Gotta bring Daddy his breakfast first", Debbie said running upstairs.

„The property tax, that's already two weeks late", Lip said scratching his head. Bonnie stayed silent and continued to eat. „We're always two weeks late. I'll have the money right after the party", Fiona told Lip. „It wasn't yours to spend", Lip said. „Yeah it was. I earned it", Fiona told him.

„Oh. That's how we're doing this now? Okay, I'll take the money I made and buy an iPad. Ian what are you gonna do with your paycheck? New leather jacket? Liam?", Lip asked. „I have an opportunity to make some real money" „It's not that easy" „I've been in the club business for a long time" „Sure. Slinging cocktails, okay? Look you don't know shit about promoting a club party" „Thanks for the vote of confidence, Lip", Fiona said leaving the kitchen.

„Lip if you really want to drop the money of today, i can give it to you. I have a few hundred bucks at home", Bonnie said to the oldest Gallagher boy. „I don't want your money, i want the money Fiona shouldn't have spent", Lip smiled at the girl and then looking angry after his sister. „Hey you go to community service, I'll go talk to her and I'll look after Liam, okay?", Bonnie asked. „Thanks Bon", Lip said leaving the house, Mandy and Ian following him.

After talking to Fiona, both Bonnie and Liam sat on the couch watching some weird kids show. Liam seemed like he loved it and Bonnie. Well she didn't even look at the tv properly. Her mind was tracing around a few things.

Jimmy came back into the Gallagher house. "Yo, you can go to work or something. I got little mister stinky now", Jimmy said. But Bonnie didn't react. "Bonnie?", he asked. He saw that she was in her own world so he let her stay on the couch. Every few minutes he came back into the living room to see if Liam was still there and to see if Bonnie was alright. After nearly 4 hour, a few minutes before Fiona was supposed to be back home from her trip with Veronica, Jimmy looked again. He saw Bonnie laying on the couch and Liam trying to get a blanket over her. "Let me help you little man", Jimmy said and helped Liam, "Come on let's make you some lunch",

It was the late afternoon. Everyone was home. And everyone looked at Bonnie lying on the couch. "Since when is she sleeping?", Ian asked his older sister. "Jimmy sad he came home around 9. She was nearly asleep by then. And when he looked again at like 12 she was completely out", Fiona said.
"That's definitely not like Bonnie", Veronica said. Suddenly the door got kicked open.

"Where is she?", Samantha walked into the Gallagher house. "Sam it's really not a good time", Kevin tried to hush Bonnie's mother out of the house. "I know she's here. She was supposed to wake me for my job interview" "I'm sure she had a good reason to not be there, Sam", Kevin said.

The others tried to get Bonnie into someone's room upstairs. "Kevin let me in. She's my daughter and she destroyed something good for me", Samantha tried to get through Kevin, who was standing in the door frame like a door. "If you actually wanted it you would have woken up by yourself", Kevin said.

Samantha looked at Kevin angry and then walked out. "Guys?", he asked when he saw that he was alone. "Upstairs", he heard Lip, Ian, Debbie and Carl shout. "Fiona's Room", he heard his wife shout. He walked up.

"What are we gonna do with her?", Lip asked as Kevin finally stood next to him. "Let her sleep. She probably needs it", Fiona said and led everyone out of her room. She looked at Bonnie and sighed: "Whatever is going on, Bon, you can talk to me".What she didn't know was that Bonnie actually heard her.

Sorry it's so late!!
