After a life of trauma in NY, Y/N moves to Chicago in hopes to forget. Trust funds from her grandmother helping after she put up a fight with her uncle, mom passing at 11, dad mooching until she left, toxic exes full of mental abuse, and now she's t...
I woke up alone he had gone home Sunday night making me feel empty inside, he stayed taking care of me all weekend but now that he wasn't here it felt weird. Even though he was pressuring me to let him move in a little while ago, the idea was starting to grow on me every-time he had to leave. Sighing I got out of bed going to the bathroom then getting some water, starting off my day like I usually do sitting on the couch ready to hit the bong before work. Thinking of Lip at his job working on motorcycles with his uniform open a little was entertaining... until I started to cough from the weed. I picked up my water drinking a little trying to save the rest and avoid another trip, turning on my Xbox about to play some COD I got a text from Fiona. I raised an eyebrow before reaching towards my phone reading it.
Fiona: Hey Y/N, I know you have work later but some stuff is going on and I was hoping you could come over so we can talk?
I questioned what was going on to the point she needed to text me, I didn't have Lip to tell me what's happening. Shit he even kept it a secret sometimes, I wondered if I should text him or send a screenshot to hear his opinion, but he had already told me Fiona screwed up multiple times. I second guessed going over there worried that she was involving me or Lip would be mad. I found myself texting her back without any doubt.
Me: Sure yeah, I have work in a couple hours. Can I ask what this is about?
Knowing Lip wasn't straight forward many times within the months we've been together, the only logical assumption was neither is she. I got my stuff together in my bag, took my pills, drank the water and went on my way. After locking my door the notification of Buffy The Vampire Slayer went on *grr-argh*
Fiona- It's best if we talk in person, you know how phones track your every move
I nodded before realizing this was a text message not a FaceTime, I began typing.
Me: I understand, I just walked out the door.
My shoes hit the sidewalk as I made my way to my boyfriends house, overthinking about what she wanted to talk to me about. I took in a deep breathe as I got to his street, the familiar houses surrounded me the gate open and Fiona standing on the porch waiting for me with her arms crossed she looked a mess. I rushed over closing the gate behind me and the door as well "Are you okay?" she scoffed her makeup faded across her eyes "There's just so much shit going on! These kids- I just don't know what to do!" I nodded looking up the stairs to hear nothing. It was quiet as she started to sob "Hey no, it's okay I'm here" I went over to her holding her shoulders as she cried. I soothed as she began to speak again "M-Maybe Lip-Lip was right? I mean maybe I shouldn't have bought the laundromat" sobbing I rubbed her back "Wait what?" she stopped looking at me in confusion "He didn't tell you?" I shook my head wanting to know "I um... took a mortgage out on the-the house to pay for the laundromat across from Patsy's, L-Lip was so pissed he yelled at me saying it was a bad idea... and n-now I think it was because we need to re-revamp the place... my wedding is coming up and there's just too much! Debbie keeps leaving her baby to us and we already have shit to do... I just want to get on with my life" I nodded taking everything she said in.
Not knowing what to say she went on "I can't do much if I get calls about the kids every 5 seconds!" I knew she was exaggerating and getting more upset but I let her go on "I mean I'm a manager of two different companies now and I have to worry about my siblings all the fucking time it's getting ridiculous" I nodded "Maybe I can help? They all have my number and all I have is work" she looked at me with doe eyes realizing what I was offering "You-You want to be their emergency contact?" I let the question roam in my head "Well Lip doesn't know I'm... I'm here so I'd have to talk to him but- yeah I can see how your stressing out" she nodded before looking at her phone "Well he's probably on his way home by now" "Oh yeah I am" we heard behind us.

I could tell by his face he was angry, he obviously heard most of it "Baby" I cooed going over to him "No don't" he shrugged me away as I looked at Fiona "We just lost Xan and now your asking us to be their emergency contact? You fought for custody! For all of us and now you want out?" his voice rang out around the building causing her to flinch as he got closer to her "Lip wait-..." he turned around looking at me furious "No Y/N! How could you be so dumb to try and accept it? Or even offer! I already warned you that all she does is screw up!" "Lip no! I'm trying to do better for myself and of course that's a problem for you!" he scoffed turning back to her "Do whatever you want Fiona, but don't drag everyone else down with you" his tone cold and full of hatred "I just want to focus on my job! Why does that have to be such an issue?!" she yelled. Lip rolled his eyes "You don't think we're trying to live our lives too? You wanna just dump your problems on everyone else, and drag them with you but I'm not gonna let that happen!" his face turning red as his anger boiled within.
