Ian's pov

My daughter was almost shot today because of that asshole. I should have let Mickey kill him. I stopped taking my meds since Rachel was in the hospital I wanted to be with her every second so I just didn't take them anymore. I feel better off of them anyways. I feel more like me. We started talking recently and decided to get a small house of our own. We found one down the block from this house so we won't be far from the family. We need money so maybe I can get my old job as a stripper back.  I grab my phone and call my old boss "What do you want Curtis"he says annoyed "My old job?" I ask "Sure next shift is thursday"he hangs up.

Mickey's pov

"You little shit you must be cheating" I say to Rachel seeing ass she took all my properties and all my money in monopoly "What can I say dad i'm just lucky" she laughs. "I bet you won't beat me at sorry"I pull out the game board "How much you wanna bet?"she asks "twenty bucks?" I say holding my handout she shakes it. 

Rachel's pov

Ever since I went on my meds life has been better I don't have nightmares and I have been able to connect with my parents. Mickey keeps getting mad that I keep beating him at board games it's funny. "Sorry" I say as I put his piece back in the circle a few more spaces and the twenty will be mine. Mickey flips the card and pops up a twelve leaving him stuck in his space. I flip the card over exactly 7 spaces I move my piece and Mickey just sits there with his arms crossed. "pay up" I smirk he rolls his eyes hesitantly handing me the money. Ian comes down the stairs seeming super off. Has he taken his meds recently? "You ok dad?"I ask he turns around "im fantastic I think I'm gonna go for a run"he says Mickey turns his phone on and checks the time "It's 11:30pm"he raises an eyebrow "It'll be a good view of the stars" he opens the door and leaves. Mickey looks worried and is scaring me a little. 

A few weeks later

Ian has only gotten worse he disappears in the middle of the night coming back tripping on god knows what. He has eyeshadow and eyeliner on and he has been on and off with his moods. It was obvious that he wasn't taking his meds I think Mickey doesn't want to accept it. Ian walks into the Kitchen where we are all eating dinner with a wad of cash in his hands. "Where the fuck did you get that?"Mickey asks "Some guys paid me to have a an orgy we really need the money for the house." he says super proud of himself.Mickey stands up we need to talk he grabs Ian's arm and drags him outside. He yells so loud that we can hear him. "If you don't go back on your med we are done. I will take Rachel and you won't see us again" Ian begins yelling "You won't be fucking taking my daughter. I earned money for us what the fuck is your problem?" Ian doesn't see why Mickey is pissed. "YOU FUCKED OTHER GUYS WHILE YOU'RE MARRIED TO ME. WE HAVE A FUCKING DAUGHTER AND YOU CHEAT ON ME? EITHER GET IT TOGETHER OR WE ARE GONE"Mickey comes back in and slams the door behind him. "Rachel go pack a bag we are going to spend a few days at a hotel." I nod and go upstairs the door opens. "Rachel you are staying here"Ian says running up after us "No she's not, not when you're like this" my dad signals for me to continue packing. Ian pulls me back and dumps out my bag "Stop that" I scoot away from him. "no no don't scoot away i'm not gonna hurt you princess" he tries to plea I grab my bag put the stuff back in and walk to Mickey "Touch her again you'll regret it" we start walking down the stairs "DON'T DO THIS! DON'T LEAVE ME"He screams off the top of his lungs. Mickey slams the door behind us and we load his car. Before we leave Ian stands at my window with his hands on it. Tears are streaming down this his face I mouth "I'm sorry" to him and Mickey drives off he wipes his eyes a few times and we arrive at the hotel. When he parks I hug him "It's gonna be ok dad he'll fix himself he just needs to realize why" I explain he hugs me back and we grab our bags and check in.

Ian's pov

I run into me and Mickey's room throwing shit and screaming. Lip comes in and stops me. "Ian don't you see this is why they left" I stop "They don't want me for me Lip" he hugs me "Ian they want you for you but you can't go fucking bad shit crazy you'll end up hurting yourself Mickey or Rachel. Do you want to put your family in danger?"he asks "No.." I mumble "Take your meds if not for yourself do it for her kids been through enough" he says handing me my lithium and walking out. What would Monica tell me if she was here? 

Maybe I should go back on my meds I want to be with Mickey. I want to raise Rachel and other children with him. I don't know if I want to be on my meds again I hate them so much. I'll give Mick and Rachel a few days and I can think of what I want to do.
