“No problem,” he countered, tone still raised and hard, mirroring mine. “It’s the least I could do for you and the kids. I appreciate what a wonderful mother you are.” Purposefully hardening his tone, he added, “I wouldn’t want to do this with anyone else.”
They’re the best bot couple for a reason
“Asshole, you wouldn’t know the meaning of a pressing day,” she countered. “Although, you could make my day a lot better by disappearing.”
GOD PLEASE SHUT UP I BEG YOU
“I’m not trying to make you out to be crazy, Lizzie,” Gerard shot back, eyes bulging. “I don’t need to, because the whole fucking world can see it plain as day.” “Gibs!” Patrick snapped. “That’s too far, lad.”
literally like something is genuinely wrong with her
“I’m not trying to make you out to be crazy, Lizzie,” Gerard shot back, eyes bulging. “I don’t need to, because the whole fucking world can see it plain as day.” “Gibs!” Patrick snapped. “That’s too far, lad.”
they piss me off so much like Lizzie can say whatever she wants but he can’t? 😭 my statement that Johnny and Claire are his only true friends stands.
“I don’t need to say it,” Lizzie finally replied,
i genuinely don’t understand why someone hasn’t beaten the brakes off her yet she is so disrespectful
“Difference is I had nothing to do with his sister’s death and he had everything to do with mine!”
girl you sound dumb asl
“I never asked you to do that for me.” “You didn’t have to, because that’s what friends do, but it’s getting old and I’m growing up.”
And y’all have the nerve to call her a bad friend like she hasn’t been putting up with her bs for years
“It matters because you matter, and I know you like to get stuck in your head every now and again, but promise me that you believe me when I tell you that she was talking shit back there.”
“It’s okay to not be okay.”
“You know you love me.” Yeah, and I had a feeling the whole world knew it.
“Aw, shucks.” I grinned back at him. “Is this your way of telling me you love me, Cap?” “Whatever floats your boat, Gibs.”
“I clearly can’t stop you. But don’t expect me to stick around to watch it.”
Apparently if Lizzie Young is miserable then everyone else has to be
“You’ve made your choice and it’s clearly him!”
This girl needs therapy like deadass
“Yeah, but that’s even better, lad, because good girls can be trained.”
hell no
Joey replied, standing up. “Back to my question.” He stretched his arms over his head and cracked his neck from side to side. “Who are we fighting?”
he’s so fine
“My da’s going to kill me.” Biting down on his fist to stifle a whimper, Johnny shook his head and walked off in the direction of his car, looking like he was close to passing out. All six foot five of him. “I’m a bleeding criminal.”
bro needs to relax 😭
“Uh, it’s going good.” Swallowing deeply, I turned back to find Gerard glaring at me.
Why are y’all playing games like don’t pmo
“You see one every day,” Lizzie tossed out with a smirk. “You live across the street from one.”
More of this Lizzie. light hearted jokes and not personal ones 🧌
“You’re in my seat.” “I didn’t see your name on it, lad,” Jamie joked, looking slick in his fancy black coat and gelled hair. “It’s right there,” Hugh offered, using his fork to point out the word Gibsie engraved on the chair. “Move.” “Don’t families usually eat dinner together?” he muttered under his breath as he begrudgingly took the seat at the end of the table. “They do,” Hugh replied with a sharp edge to his tone. “He is family.”
TELL HIM HUGH ❗️❗️❗️
“We better get going,” he said, reaching for Claire’s hand. “The film starts in half an hour.”
this is so painful to read like go away
“How’s the emancipation treating you, son?
💀
I wasn’t used to sharing a couple’s seat with anyone other than Gerard.
choking myself
“Right, well, let’s just get this over with, shall we?” “Get what over with, exactly?” “The matter of custody.”
They’re literally so funny
“I have no idea, Clare,” Gerard replied hotly. “Because the only girl I’ve ever taken out is standing in front of me.”
i’m sickkkk
“I am not in a relationship, Gerard.” “Yes, you are,” he roared back at me. “With me!”
“I’m not yours.” “Well, I’m yours,” he came right back with. “I’m yours, Claire.”
“Don’t say that.” His voice was barely more than a whisper and laced with helpless urgency. “Please don’t fucking say that, Claire.”
i’m about to lose my mind like i can’t take this
“I love you,” he stated quietly. “I always have. Take that whatever way you want. It’s still the truth.”
pls just talk to eachother
“All good, Joe,” she replied, catching ahold of his chin with her small hand. “You?” To anyone else, it might look like she was staring into his eyes with loving affection, and hell maybe she was, but I had a feeling that she was checking for something. His sobriety.
“You’re always telling me, Gerard, when I’m standing here begging you to show me.”
sobbing
“In front,” came his quick response. “On top. Number one. Fucking always, Claire.”
“I didn’t choose any of this, okay? I was born and there you were, and I had these feelings. And they grew, Claire,”
“Well, choo-choo,” he snapped back, tone laced with sarcasm as he pretended to yank on a horn. “Hop a-fucking-board, sweetheart. It’s about time you decided to join me. Considering I’ve been on the same damn feels train for years—”
they’re the best couple i genuinely dgaf
One moment we were glaring, and screaming, and shoving at each other and the next we were kissing.
it’s about damn time
“Oh absolutely,” he agreed, walking toward me. “So, uh, when would you like that to happen exactly?”
y’all are so awkward pls 😭
“You couldn’t lose me if you tried, Gerard Gibson.”
“You missed the clown.” “No, she didn’t,” Tadhg chimed in from his perch on the island. “She brought him with her.”
tadhg pls 😭
“I’m a barrister,” he explained, dressed in a designer suit, with sunglasses perched on his nose. He even had his hair slicked back like one of those corporate lawyers in the movies. “Like my dad.”
sobbing.
“He sure is good,” Lizzie sniped. “A good-for-nothing traitor bastard!”
omggg pls stfu 🙏🏾
“Tell them to bring more transport. Because if they put me in the same paddy wagon as a rapist, I’ll kill him!”
As you should
“Get the fuck off her,” Gerard roared, momentarily calling a truce with his longtime nemesis as he rushed to her aid.
And she’ll still turn around and say he’s exactly like mark like bro i can’t
“Because I have a good mind to press charges.”
Talking about pressing charges whole time you a rapist like bro YOU need to be in jail
“He said he’s fine,” Lizzie muttered from her perch beside me. “So drop it.”
you need an off button
“I use them,” he replied. “Not everyone listens.”
“I don’t want to live like this anymore, Dad.”
omg gibs
I couldn’t get my body, heart, or mind to comply and work together. The three most dominant parts of me were in raging wars against each other,
“You cannot be turned gay or decide to be gay, Gibsie. You are born gay,”
“Trauma sees no genders,”
“You waited for me,” he said, squeezing my hand. “Now it’s my turn to wait for you.”
“That’s not the way you’re supposed to greet your brother, Gibs,”
this is so disturbing
