*One Week after the call*
Lip still texted or called whenever I was home, he remembered my work schedule and didn't bother me if busy. Putting my bag down after a long night I got changed into a t shirt and shorts, ready to hit the alibi which was now my routine when not on the job. For once my phone was empty, no notifications or anything from people I was avoiding. It was like avoiding my moms side of the family, but this time these people didn't hurt my mom or me in the process. I sighed taking in a deep breath of fresh air seeing no one in view, walking down to the beloved bar a few blocks down from my townhouse apartment. The homeless man not bothering me surprisingly, I swung open the door "Geez Y/N you look exhausted" I giggled sitting down "Just got off my shift, need something to calm me down" he smirked at me before getting my usual "I gotta say, for a while I didn't like seeing you here... I mean it seemed like you were drowning your sorrows in alcohol but, you seem better when you do" I smiled at him "Ever since I did start smoking I always had people telling me "You should quit it's not good for you" or my dad complaining I got myself weed and not his beer but I'm a grown ass woman, I can buy whatever I want" he nodded.
Tommy side eyed me before saying anything "Your dad would bitch at you if you bought stuff for yourself?" I laughed at his question but only for a second "All the time, his girlfriend would do the same thing if I didn't get something for her" he scoffed "She sounds charming" I gagged jokingly "Hell no, she's fat and ugly... looks like she's pregnant with triplets" everyone cackled "Sounds like Franks type" I smirked at him "I wouldn't mind throwing her off to him, get them off my hands" we all laughed again "Shit Y/N your funny" I smiled "I try" "I'm sorry you had to deal with all that though" I shrugged "At least I'm here, but my ex did try to help me out with it financially but... in the end we moved and were broke because of them" "Lip? Oh wait no he can't save money for shit" I paused at them mentioning his name.
It was inevitable they would talk about him, the Gallaghers were one of the most famous families in the town. I shook my head taking a sip trying to ignore the question "You both still on a break?" Kermit asked awkwardly, I nodded my head looking away "She doesn't wanna talk about it guys calm down" Kev announced giving me a sympathetic look. I smiled faintly at him as I took another drink, I blinked away the tears hearing the door open to reveal Frank. Once he came in his eyes quickly panned over to me, all by my lonesome at the bar. At this point he probably knew about our situation and he immediately came over to me "Hey there gorgeous" the nickname slid off his tongue with ease making me cringe on the spot "Don't call me that" I sneered "Oh come on, your single aren't ya?" I scoffed "No you asshole" he raised his eyebrows "Really? Lip's acting different" I looked at him "The fuck do you mean?" he chuckled at my question "You'll have to see yourself" I fidgeted with my hands before taking another drink and looking at him again "E-Even if he was... was acting different, it would never be you Frank" he sighed.
The agitation written across his face he slammed his fist on the counter eyes still on me "Listen, he may text you or even call you every day but... you don't know what's really going on at the house, it's time you realize that" I scoffed "You think I want to see him right now? I still need space and you really aren't helping" he rolled his eyes "All you women ever talk about is "I need space blah blah blah" how about you take our feelings into consideration for once?!" his voice raised, I stood up getting face to face with him "All I've done my whole entire fucking life is take other people's thoughts, feelings or problems into my own. I put them into my consideration, I got taken for granted every single time, and your son proved to me that he was doing the same fucking thing! Excuse me- Actually don't excuse me, for actually caring for myself for the first time in 19 years! I've never once been selfish especially with Lip, I took in that girl as my own for months, I considered having him move in with me, your daughter even asked me to put those kids as their emergency contacts because you sure as hell aren't a real man who would step up for children you could've prevented if you used a damn condom or whatever her name is had birth control! So yeah, I'm taking time to care for myself" I sat back down.
I grabbed my drink sipping it again "Also how about you take everyone else's feelings into consideration? I've done more for those kids than you have in years, at this point die Frank everyone would be happy even me" I rolled my eyes at him. I felt him watching my every move in anger "How fucking dare you! If it weren't for me those kids wouldn't be here, you wouldn't have any dick from Lip or anything" "Sometimes those kids don't even want to be here! They don't even want to live or even live with you! So what makes a difference if you came in some blonde bimbo? They still got fucked over in the end" he grunted "Monica loves those kids!" "I mean, I don't have any kids but... if I loved them I wouldn't leave for 20 years or more!" I shrugged showing I didn't care what he had to say. Frank slapped me across the face causing me to spill my drink, everyone in the building gasped "Frank you have to go! Now!" Kev yelled.
