I wish I was dreaming
The day started well. Just like normal. Mickey got up, took a shower, went downstairs to eat breakfast. Normal shit. Mickey shot a text to his brother, Iggy who was supposed to come to an NA meeting with him. Iggy was getting sober but he could never find a meeting to go to so Mickey asked if he wanted to come to his group with him, he excepted. Iggy was supposed to be coming over soon so they can hang out for awhile before walking over together. The back door open and he was greeted by Ian. "Have a good run?" Mickey asked him. "Yup! I gotta go get ready for work." Ian said walking upstairs. Debbie walked into the kitchen "Mickey, I can't find my notebook.". "Which one? The pink one or light blue with the clouds?" Mickey asked "The one with the clouds." Debbie said. "Im pretty sure Ian used a page from it last night, so check the boy's room." Mickey said "Okay, Mick!" Debbie said running upstairs. Carl ran through the backdoor, one of his fuck face friends not to far behind. "Mickey, can I show Hank your knife's?" Carl asked. "No blood, no stealing, no breaking and if you touch any of my other shit, i'll break your fucking knuckles. Black shoe box, top drawer, Killer." Mickey said as Carl and his friend ran upstairs. Ian walked back down stairs "I gotta go. Love you, Mick." Ian said "Love you too." Mickey said as Ian walk out of the house. Normal.
By the time Mickey had to go to his meeting Iggy hadn't showed up. He figured it was just his brothers shitty time management, so he just texted him to meet him there. While he was walking he got a call from Ian. "Hey, Red. What's up?" Mickey asked "I saw Kash.". "What?!" Mickey had stopped in his tracks. "I saw him, Mick. He was outside of the store." Ian said, it sounded like he was hyperventilating. "How? I thought the fucker got sent to jail?!" Mickey asked as he started walking in the direction of the Kash-an-Grab. "I did to! But I saw him, Mickey! I know it was him.". "Is he still there?" Mickey asked "I don't know! Im in the back." Ian said. "Okay. Im- im coming over there." Mickey said. "Wait- don't you have your meeting?" Ian asked. "Fuck the meeting." Mickey said. "But-" "No 'but's Ian. Im coming." Mickey said cutting off Ian.
When Mickey got there he just went through the back door (the lock was broken). He sees Ian sitting with his back against the wall, it was clear he had been crying. "Shit, Red." Mickey said going to Ian side. "Linda's gonna be so mad at me." Ian said. "Fuck Linda! Are you okay?" Mickey asked. "Yeah, yeah im fine just- just-" Ian didn't finish what he saying. "Is Linda here?" Mickey asked. "Mhm." Ian hums. "Give me a second, Sunshine. I'll be right back." Mickey said getting up and walking into the front of the store. "Milkovich? Don't tell me you and Ian were fucking in the stock room again." Linda said when she saw Mickey. "Ian is sick. Im taking him home." Mickey said. "He's sick?" Linda asked. "Yeah. He has headache, fells like he's gonna throw up. Im taking him home." Mickey said before walking back into the stock room, not even waiting for Linda to reply. "Come on, Red. We're leaving." Mickey said, pulling Ian from his seat on the ground. "What- what about Linda?" Ian asked. "Once again. Fuck Linda. We're leaving." Mickey said pulling Ian towards the back door.
"Wait- you saw Kash? Like you're sure it was Kash?" Lip asked. "Yes Lip. I know it was Kash. For sure." Ian said. Mickey walked into the boys room, he had tried to call Iggy again to tell him he wouldn't be at the meeting but he didn't answer so he just sent another text. "It's hasn't even been a year. How could he have already gotten out?" Lip asked. "If he even fuckin' went in. Terry got arrested for rape and only got 11 months in jail and a year of probation. So theres a chance he got no time at all." Mickey said. "We gotta go talk to Tony, man." Lip said "Why?" Ian asked. "If Kash has the chance the mother fucker's gonna try to see you. Remember last time?" Mickey said "He's one stupid fuck if he does. And if he does, Im cutting off his dick.".
They had gone and talked to Tony, just to clear some stuff up. Turns out Kash had only got a few months OF PROBATION. The man hadn't even been in jail. So yes it was very likely the person Ian saw was Kash, I mean would someone be so stupid to go by the person who they groomed work place? Yes because Kash was that stupid.
As soon as the boys got through the doors of the Gallagher house Fiona came up to them. "Mick, your phones been going of like crazy. Iggy was trying to call you." Fiona said handing Mickey his phone, he must have left it there before the left. When he looks he sees that Iggy had called him 7 times and left a voice mail. Mickey sits on one of the steps of the living room stairs and play's the voice mail. As soon as it started playing Mickey knew something was wrong. "Hey, Mick-" Iggy's speech was slurred, Mickey could tell just from the two words he said. "'m sorry- 'm sorry, Mick. Mandy and Colin won't care. But- but you will Mickey." Mickey's heart drops as he listened to his brother's message "I did something- something really really bad- 'm sorry. I- im sorry, Killer. Im really sorry-" that's when it cut off. Mickey was freaking out trying to dial Iggy's number. "Mick, are you okay?" Ian asked. "Damn it-" Mickey said dialing Iggy's number again. "Angel-face, what's wrong?" Fiona said going to put her hand on Mickey's back. "Damn it- FUCK FUCK!" Mickey yells when he gets sent to voice mail again. "Mick-" Ian's cut off by Mickey bolting out of the front door. "Shit-" Fiona said as her, Ian and Lip start to try and catch up to Mickey. Mickey was still trying to get Iggy to pick up but after the 5th call he gave up.
At some point Ian got close enough to Mickey to grab his arm. "Let go!" Mickey yelled. "Mickey, what going on?" Ian said, tightening his grip on Mickey. "LET ME FUCKING GO IAN!" Mickey yelled. "What's going on, Mickey?!" Ian asked still not letting go of Mickey. "Iggy! He- he- fuck he-" Mickey couldn't even get the words out. "Let me go." this time Ian does and Mickey takes off again as soon as he does. Ian, Fiona and Lip watched as he ran off.
