ivy was now watching lip and Fiona argue because DCFS came to do a house inspection for xan who showed up the other day.
"maybe if id known DCFS was dropping by --"
"jesus Christ do you have any idea how much you fucked this up for me!"
"this is not my fault. I did not invite DCFS here ."
"hey hey sh"
"I did not leave a furnace in the house.. or kids in a pack n play, or an open hole in the fucking floor!" Fiona yelled
"no but you sure as shit didn't help Fiona" lip spat "the old Fiona would've handled this, would've spun shit , would've covered for me."
"what was I suppoed to do huh? bake him a fucking cake?"
"no but I expected you not to be drunk in the middle of the day." ivy jumped at how loud and aggressive lip was being "how bout that , huh?"
Fiona giggled
"maybe im tired of playing Susie fucking sunshine all the time . cause if I want to be drunk in the middle of the fucking day, that is my fucking business."
. lip went to walk out but ivy grabbed his wrist
"you okay?"
"get the fuck off of me ivy!"
"jeez okay." she threw her hands up and away from him as Fiona smirked but once the door was shut and lip was gone Fiona started to cry "you need to get your shit together."
"excuse me"
"youre ruining everyones lives at the moment because you just cant keep yourself together."
"that was fucking rude."
"but it was fucking right , wasn't it?"
"I never said shit like that when you struggled with drinking after your mom died did I? maybe I should've left you since you were 'ruining everyones lives' I had better things to do then look after your dramatic ass."
"never bring my mum into this Fiona , just because my mum actually gave a shit about me and yours didn't! theres basically no reason to why your like this! your broke? yeah you've been broke since forever, your boyfriend had a family? all your boyfriends leave you!"
"shut the fuck up ivy!" she yelled
"no you shut the fuck up! youre a shitty sister."
"im not even your sister! you say I am because I raised you as your shitty family couldn't do that and your siblings beat the shit out of you."
"just shut up Fiona." ivy stopped yelling
"got nothing else to say? too bad"
"you are a sick bitch Fiona who doesn't deserve shit."
"could say the same about you."
"I hate you."
"I wish I never looked after you , I had enough on my plate."
"fuck you."
"get out of my house ivy."
"its not yours! I have a key here and what do you have? nothing because debbie changed the locks so your drunk ass couldn't get in"
"im about to have a key , once I pay her the leftover money I owe"
"where'd you get the money from? did you steal it cause you sure as hell didn't earn it as you got fired!"
"well I did earn it"
"I think you need to get out instead"
"fine im going"
once Fiona left ivy broke down crying , xan walked over and hugged her until she stopped crying
"im sorry you had to hear that."
"its okay."
"its not"
"its okay ivy"
-------------
unfortunately Fiona got home when ivy was chilling with debbie , Kelly and carl watching tv.
"hey campers , what are we watching? I had a great day getting kicked out of my own home by someone who isn't even family."
"fuck off Fiona." ivy replied
then Fiona started to talk to the others ignoring anything ivy said and making carl feel embarrassed until lip walked in looking pissed off.
"a hundred days he was sober , Fiona." lip mumbled
"who?" Fiona asked
"Jason. my sponsee."
"who?"
"Jason from the shop. im his sponsor . you just got my sponsee fucking drunk!" he yelled
"he didn't say he was your--"
"100 days! he was sober!"
"and that's sad , im sorry for him. its not my fault I didn't know."
"no , nothings your fault anymore , huh?"
"you weren't there , you don't know."
" I know someone waved vodka in his face. I know when he left you , he called his dealer and he shot up heroin."
"oh." she sighed "im sorry look I didn't know."
"no you don't care enough to know, listen to me. I want you out of this fucking house,"
Fiona laughed but he was being serious , It was no laughing matter then frank walked in,
"what did I miss?" he asked "ooo candy corn"
" you missed too much frank."
-------------
"xan not answering?"
"no."
"heyy" veronica said to lip and ivy who were in the living room.
"hey" ivy replied
"what you guys doing?"
"nothing just waiting for a fucking phone call." lip sighed
"so yous threw Fiona out?"
"she had it coming." ivy laughed "shes been such an ahole"
"okay well shes staying with kev and me until she gets back on her feet."
"no if she stays with you and kev, she wont get back on her feet"
"im worried about her lip"
"yeah us too"
"then let her back in the damn house"
"she needs to hit rock bottom."
"rock bottom? shes a strong person ivy I know you know that but even the strongest people fall down sometimes. you did , lip did , I have kev has, we are here to lift each other up."
"true." ivy replied but lip stayed silent
"your silent because you've heard this all before , right? you gonna sit there and think just because your in AA, you have all the answers?"
"don't let Fiona stay with you"
"then what kind of friend would I be lip?"
"what kind of friend do you wanna be? the kind that sees her drunk in the alibi every morning? the kind that- that watches her lose her job or lose her apartment building? watch her wreck her car and go to jail? you know what then go ahead. alright buy her a case of vodka. grab a shovel and help her dig that grave, cause that's not a friend. alright that's a fucking bystander."
"lip I have to--"
"v! if you really love her and you really are her friend then you wont let her stay with you"
"im going back to the alibi"
"veronica , promise you wont serve her?" ivy begged
"ill try."
"goodbye"
"bye ivy , bye lip"
