Southside ~ Shameless

Introduction

"Nobody's saying our neighbourhood's the garden of Eden. Hell, some people say God avoids this place altogether. But it's been a good home to us, to me and my kids, who I am proud of because every single one of them reminds me a little bit of me.

Fiona, my rock, huge help, has all the best qualities of her mother except she's not a raging psycho bitch.

Hollie, beautiful, kind and caring, lights up the room when she walks in and a hell of a bartender. A huge help to me. But I don't like that boyfriend of hers.

Lip, smart as a whip. Straight A's and the honor roll. Boy's definitely going somewhere.

Ian, industrious, conscientious, ambitious, incredible work ethic. Don't have a clue where he got that from. Wants to be a paratrooper. Knows how to disembowel an enemy with a roll of dimes and an old gym sock.

Carl.... Um, I don't really know that much about Carl. Oh, loves animals. Always dragging home some poor stray he found, taking them up to his room.

Ah, Debbie, sent by god, total angel. Raises money for UNICEF year-round, some of which she actually turns in.

Liam, gonna be a star. I'm no biologist, but he looks a bit like my first sponsor. He and the ex were close.

Kev and Veronica, fantastic neighbours. There's nothing they won't do for each other... or to each other. I never realised how little sex I was having till Vi and Kev moved next door.

Nick, the aforementioned boyfriend, I don't like him. He made me realise that I need to keep a closer eye on Hollie.

And me, Frank Gallagher, father, teacher, mentor. Captain of our little ship.

We may not have much but all of us, to a man knows the most important thing in this life: we know how to fucking party. Wa- ha!"

A/N

I honestly didn't know what to put for Hollie's or Nick's but I feel like Frank would say stuff like this.

Also, in this book I like added another room onto the Gallagher house for Hollie so she doesn't have to share with anyone because she's 20.
