A Taste of Medicine - Fiona Gallagher

TW sexual assault
April 2019
It's been almost a month since Zoey had passed. Fiona's doing fine, but she's still of course upset but passing. Adams took her up to New York for a few days, to help clear her head. In other words, using sex to avoid talking about her deceased friend. It didn't register for Fiona, until the night before they went back home. Eve saw a different side of Fiona, a person or emotion that's been held inside for way too long. Gallagher never felt more embarrassed than she did during her stupid meltdown. Adams reassured Fiona that it was fine, but she ignored Evelyn and brushed her comfort off. The leading days changed everything. Fiona and Adams got into a small fight, but when she went to say she was sorry, Claire snapped on her and Eve found out why her girlfriend's new best friend is familiar, it was Alice. Evelyn had no clue how she was here or that she's friend with Fiona. Her biggest concern was Alice hurting Fiona. She's was fucking terrified.

8:37. Eve still couldn't sleep knowing Alice was in her life again, let alone Fiona's. She knows what the psycho is capable of, and more or less likely, Gallagher is going to get hurt. It feels impossible to tell her that Claire isn't Claire, without sounding jealous. Eve's scared out her mind. What if Alice hurts her like she hurt me? Or maybe there's nothing I could do to prevent it? Is she going to hurt me, again? Fuck. It's clear Eve wasn't into Fiona fucking her, so she backed away and came up for some air. Adams sighed, while she watched her girlfriend lay next to her.

"Hi. Are you ok? You're awfully quiet. You usually love when I use my fingers" Fiona chuckled, trying to lighten up the mood, but it clearly didn't work.

Evelyn couldn't tell her why she's not in the right headspace. "I'm sorry. Just, not in the mood anymore. I'm gonna take a shower" Adams said and Fiona watched her trail off into the bathroom. Something's wrong.

The day had passed by peacefully, but of course Fiona was now worried about Evelyn. She's coincidentally been like this since she met Claire, which is weird but Adams isn't that way. Yeah, of course she gets jealous sometimes, but not to a point where she's upset. This behavior is to worry about. Maybe she's jealous of her new friend? Fiona tried wrapping her brain around that idea all day. Tonight was the ex's fiancé's birthday party, but neither of them wanted to go. Fiona noticed that Eve always gets anxious around him, which is weird but she's never pushed it. Gallagher hardly knows the guys, except that Adams doesn't feel comfortable around him. Fiona was in their closet, trying to pick out a dress for tonight, when Adams came in holding a box. Fiona could just only rolled her eyes.

"Oh. Please tell me that's not another gift. What did I say about buying me shit?" She sighed, resting her hands onto her hips. Eve had to chuckled at her annoyance. Oops.

Adams opened up the box, and a beautiful black dress with flowers appeared. Fiona couldn't even be mad. "I don't remember you saying anything" She smiled and Fiona just chuckled gently, biting her lip.

Fiona grabbed the dress from the box, and held it up to her. "Thank you. It's beautiful" She whispered and kissed her girlfriend.

"Was hoping that I could make up for this morning. Lemme make things up to you" Eve said smugly, hooking her fingers on the side of Fiona's black lace thong. Fine by me.

"Please" She shook her head, and soon felt the warmth of Eve licking up her. Don't stop.

Later on in the night, Fiona had a drifted off and walked around their apartment. It was nice, but could admit that theirs was better. Gallagher soon was then accompanied by the fiancé, who quickly became weird. He was making flirtatious comments, but she'd brushed it off. Williams being creepy.

Fiona had removed this dude's hand off of her back for the fourth time. Could you not? "Have you guys settled on a place where the big day will happen?" She asked, and moved away from him, once again. Fuck off.

"We decided Italy. It's where we met each other for the first time. Well, I knew of her because of Evelyn, but never talked. 2015, I was on some work trip and she was also at this cafe. We didn't talk, but on the last night, she found and kissed me" He told her and was shocked Jennifer could be like that. She almost felt envious of them.

"More romantic than me and Eve's story" Fiona chuckled, sipping her lemonade and wished it was spiked with something strong.

"Oh, that's a shame. If I had known you, I would've made a move on you instantly. Evelyn is one lucky chick. I mean, look at you...you're smoking. If you weren't with that Adams, god knows what we'd be. Oh, come on. We're having fun" William said, before he grabbed Fiona's ass, even after she smacked his hand away. Fucking prick.

Fiona smacked smacked him, hard. She's disgusted by his behavior and felt violated. "No. I'm gay, and you're getting married. I should probably go and find my girlfriend" Gallagher said and stormed off away from him, and felt nauseous. She has to tell Eve.

Adams immediately could tell something's off with Fiona. She moved away everything Evelyn tried to touch her. Adams couldn't tell what had happened, and felt some kind of a knot buried in her stomach. When they got home, Fiona didn't talk to her, and just took a shower. Why is she mad at me? Did I do something to upset her? She's clearly hurt.

"Are you feeling alright? You've been off halfway through the party" Eve asked her, watching Fiona dry off her hair. Fiona shook her head and grabbed some pajamas.

How am I suppose to tell her that her future brother-in-law groped me? "It's nothing" She said and walked passed Eve, but pulled her back to make eye contact.

Eve tried searching for an answer but got nothing. "Fiona. I know when something's wrong" Adams sighed, cupping her face.

She had to tell her, even if it meant it could possibly ruin things. "Fine. When you were talking to your friends, I'd run into William in his office and talked. He started talking and made a flirt comment, but I ignored it. He grabbed my ass, twice" Fiona told her, what happened and Eve was painted with shock. Eve felt that knot fall deeper.

"Are you sure?" Adams asked her and she got a metaphoric smack to the face. What?

What the hell? "Excuse me?" Fiona scoffed and felt like an embarrassment.

"I mean, come on, Fiona. I've known the guy since I was as a kid and he's not like that. Are you saying this because of your differences with Jennifer? William is not that guy, trust me" Eve said, defending someone who inappropriately touched her girlfriend. She doesn't believe me?

Fiona walked passed her, purposely ran into her shoulder. "Oh! That's rich. How could I believe you when you don't? I was assaulted, and my own girlfriend doesn't believe it's true" Gallagher said, feeling her eyes swell up with tears. Fiona was pissed.

Adams had a secret, but she couldn't tell her. She felt horrible. "Fiona" Eve sighed and watched Fiona pack an overnight bag.

Eve tried to touch her, but she backed away. "No. I'm gonna stay at Claire's for awhile, or until you believe me over some guy. We just made things right between us" Fiona sighed and continued packing her things.

"I'm sorry" Eve sniffled and watched as she messed things up with Fiona, again.
