"debs! finally some actual company."
"are you drunk?" she asked
"mhm . he finally let v and kev serve me at the alibi because hes been such a shit brother."
"not even gonna ask." Debbie pointed at the book ian was reading
"its best you don't , shim might get angry."
"ivy don't disrespect shim."
"whats shim?"
"we don't know if--"
"gods a boy or a girl so we call it shim." ivy interrupted "its all hes been telling people all week."
"how did you know for sure that you were gay?" Debbie asked ian
"I remember this conversation , but with kevin,"
"kevin thought he was gay?"
"shocking I know Debbie."
"cause I was having sex with a man." ian replied "why?"
"I don't know. I think I might be gay."
"youre not gay."
"how do you know?"
"where is this coming from? is this cause youre a welder now?"
"no,"
"ian other people can be gay not just you." ivy added
"ive just been feeling ways that ive never felt before."
"have you had sex with another women?" ian asked her
"yeah I did, once. it was a long time ago but I let a woman I was babysitting for go down on me."
"really?"
"yeah got a great tip."
"did you return the favor?"
"no."
"yeah your not gay youre a pillow princess. have you been with a girl since?"
"yep I just made out with one"
"okay well that's a start."
"want a sandwich debs?" ivy held one up and she took it , ian went to take the other one but ivy quickly bit into it so he couldn't have it,
"asshole . what kind of porn do you like?"
" I don't watch porn,"
" I do,"
"you watch porn?" ian scoffed
" yeah ian I do but since you haven't been around me at all you wouldn't have known if I hadn't told you."
"ivy , its not like im gonna watch you watch porn."
"im kidding I don't watch it."
"bullshit everyone watches porn."
"im atleast bisexual." Debbie sighed as she took a bite from the sandwich.
"no. youre not,"
"Debbie if you want to be bisexual be bi , who gives a shit about what this asshole says." ivy patted debbies shoulder before sitting next to her
"why do you keep telling me what im not? I thought gay jesus was all about love and acceptance."
"yeah ian."
"sorry." he replied to the girls "yeah I don't know what we are about anymore. the whole gay jesus thing has gotten completely out of hand. I mean people are doing crazy shit. apparently now im the gay Che. lately im just feeling like--"
"hey news flash; your not jesus and youre not gay Che. youre a bipolar Gallagher who doesn't take his meds so why don't you stop trying to save the world and save yourself?"
"I don't know what I am anymore ivy."
"at least you know your gay." Debbie chuckled
"yeah"
-----------
"hey."
"hi."
"you alright?"
"no I think I might've pulled a hamstring."
"and how did ian Gallagher do that."
"running from homophobes."
"I guess theres nothing new about that , right?"
ivy then started to microwave her hot choclate while ian sat there chugging down a beer .
"think you could do hard time?" he asked her
"in prison? uh rather not."
"gay jesus kids don't want me to cop a plea, want me to take it to trial, get as much publicity for the cause I can."
"yeah well what did you lawyer say?"
"could be looking at 10 to 15 if I don't take a deal."
the microwave then started to beep , ivy didn't reply to ian straight away as she generally just wanted to drink her hot chocolate.
"you , uh hearing shim again?"
"if your gonna take the piss then--"
"ian ." she huffed
"sometimes."
"well... whats shim think?"
"unclear."
"you know id say that I miss our times like these yet we are talking about prison and shim."
"you can miss them even if its us talking about shim and prison."
"you got yourself in some serious shit , Gallagher."
"I know milkovich."
-----------
"you headed to church frank?" lip snickered,
"got to head out early, convince the mo voters to get to the polls."
"Mo voters."
"I saw your dad yesterday." frank said to ivy
"you went round my house?"
"mhm , he looks great."
"pft bullshit , he was probably drunk . my brothers there?"
"mickey ? no."
"I have other brothers . colin and iggy but I don't like colin."
"I didn't see anyone who looked like a milkovich."
"what do we look like frank?"
"skanky... but not you though!"
"thanks frank."
"gotta go see your dad again , ill tell him you said you miss him."
"no you wont!"
"ye I will."
ivy then got up to walk to frank but he started running away and out the door into the red car
"ivy said she misses you." frank said outloud to terry who was in the drivers seat
"suck a cock ivy!" terry yelled out the window
"screw you dad!"
she then slammed the door and joined the gallaghers who were staring at her , god everyone loved staring at ivy. she rubbed her forehead before flipping everyone who sat around that small table off
"stop looking at me like that."
-------------
ivy was with Fiona and ian who were going to this thing to do with how long ian goes to prison for , ivy didn't know what it was for but she was there , ian and Fiona fought outside the building as he so badly did not want either of them there but Fiona insisted that they went in and he eventually gave in when he realised they weren't going nowhere .
"are you kidding me! he is pleading insanity. end of story."
'so much for not talking' ivy thought
"if he admits hes bipolar, suddenly our entire movement is about mental illness."
'okay that's it'
ivy stood up and went over to geneva . yes that's right the girl she caught sneaking into ians bed,
"so you want him to go to prison for 10 years?" Fiona yelled
"he will get less if he pleads guilty."
"and even less if he pleads insanity." ivy butted in
"hey! does anyone wanna hear what my lawyer has to say?" ian sighed
"look I know this judge. he understand--"
"excuse me . if you make him plead insanity, you are putting lives at risk." Geneva interrupted "Kids all over the world say ian saved them."
"he put his time in . now you save them."
"they don't want gay Mary Magdalene. they want gay Jesus."
"well , Geneva they cant have him! he belongs to his family."
"this is bigger then family."
"nothing is bigger then family, and if you send my brother to prison for one second longer then he needs to be there, Im gonna torch a van with your pixie ass in it." ivy threatened
"what!"
"you heard me now shut up ."
ivy looked back at Fiona who was grinning , she was impressed with how ivy just handled that wether it was over the top or not like ivy said nothing is bigger then family.
"are all lesbians that dramatic?" Fiona asked as the three left the building. "where are you going?"
"leave me alone Fiona."
"ian--"
"stay out of it! both of you!" he walked off leaving Fiona and ivy confused
"did I hear that right?" ivy asked
"mhm he wants us to leave him alone."
"twat"
