"Where Ian?" Ivy asked Alicia who had passed her breakfast
"He told me to give you this."
She passed Ivy a note which read
'I'll be back'
"Fucking Gallagher."
"What's he done?"
"Gone to Mexico with Mickey. Fuck." She smacked her fist on the counter
"Ivy calm down"
"I was praying he wouldn't go man."
"It's fine he will be back won't he?"
"No idea but he had his shit together leash , his job his boyfriend ."
"Trevor?"
"How do you know Trevor?"
"He came by earlier . I told him that Ian wasn't home."
"Shit."
"Just eat and chillax."
"Thanks for the food."
"You're welcome."

"Hey." Ivy smiled at sierra
"Dishes are piling up."
"What? Lip missing again?"
"Not his fault. His parents are in the kitchen."
"You mean monica and frank? I wanna meet them."
"No Alicia you don't."
"Who's this?" SierRa asked
"My sister from England."
"Nice to meet you Alicia I'm sierra."
"Hi."
They shook hands before going out back to Monica and frank
"Get out of the kitchen!" Ivy yelled as she saw lip struggling to work as his parents were harassing him
"Who's the friend?" Monica pointed at Alicia
"My younger sister now fuck off guys."
"We want you to be a bride."
"What?"
"Your Gonna love this Ivy." Lip scoffed
Monica held her hand up to reveal a ring
"Your getting married? You're already married."
"Only legally." Frank replied
"We are recommitting our hearts to each other."
"You need to find them first." Lip said as he pushed past everyone "nice to meet you Alicia."
"You too lip. I'll come to your wedding."
"Fantastic! Your now my favourite milkovich." Frank held Alicia's face in his hands
"Get your dirty hands off my sister frank and get out of my kitchen."
"It's not your kitchen it's Fiona's."
"Well Fionas not here right now so get lost."
"Fine . Learn some manners Ivy." Frank then also pushed past Ivy and Alicia with Monica behind him
"Never say stupid shit like that to then again leash. You reckon you could help lip wash these plates I'll pay you."
"Yeah sure . I'm just trying to have some fun."
"Well your an adult now so don't make stupid decisions and say stupid stuff ."
"What like how you became like an alcoholic when mum died?"
"Excuse me?"
"Ian told me."
"I'm gonna beat his ass."
"Why don't you take your own advice Ivy 'your an adult now don't make stupid decisions and say stupid stuff'."
Ivy scoffed at her little sister who was smirking from what she had just said so she left the room and began working like normal , It was Alicia's like 2nd day here and they had already fought .
——————
A few days later and life was good apart from the fact that Ian was gone Ivys life was better . Her sister got a job at the connivence store while she was still working at patsys but the only sort of sad thing is that she was currently sat in a hospital waiting room with the Gallaghers plus Kev and v as Monica wasn't breathing .
"Kevin shut up." Ivy demanded , he kept talking about how Monica was most likely dead "nobody want to hear what your saying."
"Gallagher?" The nurse caught everyone's attention
"Yeah." Fiona replied
"Monica your mother?"
"Mhm."
"Your mother came in unresponsive . We made every attempt to revive her but we were unsuccessful ."
"So she's dead?"
"Yes."
"Drug overdose?" Lip asked
"No uh she died from a massive cerebral haemorrhage. A blood vessel in her brain burst would you like to see her?"
"I would." Debbie said
"I'll join you debs." Ivy replied
"Okay sure." Fiona added
"Alright I'll be back." The nurse said
"Where's frank?" Fiona asked
"Outside I'll go get him." Ivy responded
It was snowing outside , Ivy always loved the snow but it meant it was freezing , she walked outside and towards frank who was sat on the curb .
"It's freezing out here frank ."
He never replied
"She died , frank. They said that we could go in and see her , say goodbye. They're gonna send someone to talk to us all about what we wanna do with her body. Did Monica ever talk about what she might want? Come on let's go say goodbye. Frank."
He then stood up and started to walk away instead of in with Ivy
"Okay then." She walked back in to the others
"Where is he?" Fiona asked
"Walked away."
——————
"I'm taking franny up to bed." Debbie said
"Alright . Night fran fran." Ivy kissed frannys head before debs took her upstairs
"I'm gonna make coffee anyone want a cup?" Fiona offered
"Me I need it."
"Me too." Alicia smiled
"Good day at work?"
"No it was long and boring."
"You tired?"
"Yeah."
"Then go to bed? Fiona don't make her a coffee . Go to bed now."
"Okay mum."
"I love you."
"Love you too."
"Hey look who the cat dragged in." Kev said
Everyone turned to the direction he was looking in to see Ian standing there . Ian immediately made eye contact with a very pissed off looking Ivy.
"The fuck you been?" Lip asked
For the time being Ivy stayed quiet
"Um work." He replied
"There's leftover chicken."
"Thanks."
"Well goodnight all." Lip announced . Everyone then wished him a goodnight . Kev and v went home and Debbie never came down after she took franny up . Ivy waited for ages for Fiona to go upstairs forcing Ian to stay awake so she could speak to him and once she finally did Ivy slapped Ian's face
"What the Fuck was that for?"
"Leaving."
"I thought you said it was okay?"
"I didn't think you were actually gonna go! What are you gonna tell Trevor!"
"I don't know."
"Did he make it?"
"To Mexico?"
"Yeah."
"Yeah he made it. He told me to tell you to not fuck up your life and that he'd be back to help you with Alicia."
"Pft the lies in that one sentence , he would never help me even if I was dying."
The room then went awkwardly silent after Ivy talked about dying
"I'm sorry Ian I didn't mean it."
"It's fine , she was an asshole anyways."
"You gonna be okay."
"Yeah I'll be fine."
"I'm still pissed at you for not telling me that you were going."
"Yeah but you would've talkedme out of it."
"Damn right I would have. You gave Alicia a piece of goddamn paper that said some shit like 'I'll be back'"
"Yeah and Im back."
"I'm going to bed."
"I'll be up soon."
"Goodnight Ian."
"Night."
