The door slammed opened and Frank walked in. "Hi dad" debbie said. Frank ignored her and looked at me. I stood up and came face to face with him.

"You are little bitch" he said then punched me in the face. Hard.

I fell back on the couch blood pouring out of my nose. Ian yelled for fiona and debbie started crying and helping me. Fiona rushed down the stairs and started yelling at frank.

Lip and helping me get up. I hand my hands clasped over my nose, "let me see. Let me see baby" he said removing my hands from my nose. He rarley ever called me baby but when he did it was a serious situation. "Dont ever touch one of my kids again! Ever again!" Fiona yelled and shoved frank out of the house.

I hadn't even noticed I was crying until carl wiped my cheek. I leaned into lip and he was carefully cleaning my nose. Now I have two broken bones. Great.

" are you okay ivy?" Fiona asked me cupping my face. I nodded and she kissed my forehead. She took debbies hand and they went outside.

"Are you okay?" Ian asked me sitting down in front of me his hands on my knees. I shrugged and winces and lip put peroxide on my nose. There was a big cut on the top. Carl rubbed my back. "Do you want me to fix up your bed for you?" Ian asked. I nodded and he stood up and walked up the stairs.

"What happened?" Carl asked. I shrugged, "I dont know. He walked in here while me ian and debbie were sitting on the couch and called me a bitch then punched me." I explained. Carl nodded and kissed the top of my head. "Okay lets go upstairs to our room now." Lip said.

He helped me up and I walked to our room. I layed on my bed and sighed. "I'm so sorry he did that to you baby." Lip said coming and laying next to me. I nodded and let a few tears slip from my eyes. I put my head on lips chest and drapped my arm across his stomach.

I kept fighting back sleep as hard as I could. "Its okay ivy. You can go to sleep. I'll be here." Lip said kissing my head. Then I dozed off.

I woke up to a bang downstairs. I looked at lip who was up now too. "Stay here." He said and got up and left the room. I followed him and stood at the stairs completely disregarding him telling me to stay.

I saw fiona and monica downstairs yelling at each other. "You have no right to say those things about her!" Fiona yelled. "I do though! Ivy has been nothing but disrespectful to me!" Monica screamed back.

"She hasn't done anything to you!"

"Yes she has!"

"Monica get out." I say finally at the bottom of the stairs.

"Oh sweetie i-" monica said but i cut her off.

"Get. Out." I said. The whole house was quiet. Carl and debbie were in the kitchen and ian was standing behind me with lip on the stairs.

Monica huffed and left the house.

"Thank you ivy." Fiona sighed. I nodded and put ny boots on. "Where are you going?" She asked. "To Michelles house"

Michelle was an old friend that moved but fiona doesnt know that.

I walked out of the house and to a phone booth. I dialed toppers number and waited."

"Hello?"

"Hey topper, its ivy."

"Hey ivy. Whats up? Are you okay?"

"Yes I'm fine. Can you meet me at the pub in 10 minutes?" I asked.

"Yes I can. See you then"

I hung up and made my way to the pub.

I walked in and ordered some drinks.

Topper came in shortly. "Hey ivy. Hey be careful" he said pointing to the bottle of teqiela in my hand. I shrugged.

The rest of the night was a blur from drinking to drugs to anything really.

My head was pounding and i was leaning on topper for support. I then heard a loud gunshot. I turned and saw a man with a gun. Everyone screamed and started running. I grabbed toppers hand and we ran. Then I felt him fall.

I turned and saw topper on the ground bleeding. "Shit! Fuck! Shit!" I yelled covering the wound with my hands. "Help! Call 911!" I screamed tears welling up in my eyes. My ears started ringing. The room was dark and i heard shouting. Then I felt hands around my waist and I got pulled up from topper while people surrounded him.

I cried and fought to get back to him.
