The Gallaghers are your close friends, and you've known them a long time, since you've lived in the same neighbourhood for your whole life, and you live just a few houses down. They're like your second family, and have always been there for you. You're also close to their neighbours, V and Kev. Their doors have always been open to you- literally and metaphorically. You spend more time at their house than you do yours, at this point, and they don't mind- how could they, when you're practically family?

Anyways, today was a normal day, it was a Friday and school has finished a few hours ago, so the kids would be out of school, and if not out with Veronica, Fiona would likely be trying to calm down the madness that was Carl Gallagher. And as usual, you let yourself into the house- their door is always unlocked- and step into the Gallagher house to greet them. You notice Fiona in the kitchen talking on the phone, Debbie is playing with baby Liam, who's in his highchair, babbling, Carl's probably in the backyard doing something he knows he shouldn't.
