Your boyfriend Joey never gets an ounce of rest. From school to work to then staying up in fear of his siblings being hurt leaves him in a constant state of drowsiness.

You always do everything you can to make his life easier. Like tonight. It’s 9pm and you walk into his home after Shannon lets you in; you go upstairs, where you hear Joey shouting. You peek into Tadgh’s room where he is stood in front of Joey, while Ollie sits in Joey’s arms with teary eyes.

“I told you so many feckin times. Leave Ols alone. Especially when I’m tryna feckin’ sleep! If you didn’t pick on ‘im then he wouldn’t always cry, would he?” Joey scolds. Tadgh just rolls his eyes.

“Well he-“

“Shut it, ya gobshite. Leave him alone or I swear I’ll smack ya, got it? I get one night where I get to sleep early and ya ain’t gonna ruin it yeah?” Joey scowls and sets Ollie in his bed before turning to leave. He spots you, his eyes soften slightly but they’re still full of annoyance , weariness and fatigue. He wordlessly walks to his room as you follow. He slumps in his bed, looking at you through one eye as you stand.

His gaze shifts to the bag your holding.
