Being a Gallgher isn't easy, especially not for Ian's twin Alyssa Gallagher who lives on the southside with her many sibling and alcoholic father who drops in and out whenever he pleases.
Then there's the emotionless asshole who Alyssa just can't s...

Ian and I hadn't talked to Lip in days, so when our older brother strolled into the Kash and Grab, I knew it would be bad.
Ian stood at the register while I stood near the door. Lip walked over to the freezers and opened one of the doors, when he came back he had a beer in his hand.
He placed it in front of Ian on the counter, "Grammy's back, just showed up in an ambulance," Lip informed, "You know, she uh..didn't even call." Ian took the bottle and got the price as Lip continued, "How fucked up is that?"
Ian set the bottle down and look up at Lip with a blank expression. "That's it? Nothing? You're just gonna give me the chin?" Lip looked over his shoulder at me, "You too?"
My mouth opened slightly but I shut it once Ian shot me a glare. Lip scoffed and slammed his hand down hard on the counter, making me and my twin flinch. Lip stormed up an aisle and picked up a tomato.
He walked back to stand in front of the counter and slammed the fruit down on the floor, it splattered everywhere, "How about now?"
"No?" Lip repeated his actions and grabbed two tomatoes this time, walking back and launching one towards the freezers, "Really? Still nothing?" he yelled. I looked at the floor as he threw one at the door.
"No?" he was almost screaming at this point. He turned and picked up a watermelon and slammed it down, it broke into pieces on the floor but still...we said nothing.
Lip left the shop and I glanced at Ian who took a sip from the beer. "Ian," I whispered. He shook his head, "Don't."

I sat in the kitchen with Fiona and Veronica, we were sharing a bucket of chicken. Fiona was folding laundry harshly.
"So, how'd your double date go?" Veronica asked with a mouthful of chicken. "Double date? With who?" I wondered.
"Steve," Veronica stated. My jaw dropped, "He's back?" I looked between Veronica and my sister. "Yeah, and turns out he's married," Fiona scoffed. My eyebrows furrowed in confusion, "Married?"
"To some teenager from Brazil, and you know, I almost fucked him in the bathroom!" Fiona told us. I sighed, taking a bite from a chicken leg. "She cute?" Veronica wondered. "Very!"
"Who's cute?" Debbie asked, coming down the stairs. "Chicken in the bucket," Fiona said, slamming clothes on top of the machine.
"Steve's back, married to some south American teenager," V explained. Debbie's eyes widened, "Really?" she gasped, taking a piece of chicken from the bucket I had on my lap.
"So what did Adam do?" Veronica asked, cocking her head. Fiona's eyebrows raised, making her forehead crease, "Took off, left me there!" he threw her hands up.
