"Why are you always getting drunk Ror." Fiona asked as she put me into the bathtub

"It hides the pain, I thought the meds would stop it ℳ𝓊𝓂." I told her as i cried not realising what i just said

Fiona held my face as she realised i called her mum  "We just need to get them readjusted baby."

"I want this stupid cast of my leg."

"You have to wait till it's healed." She smiled as she shampooed my hair "Can i ask you something?"

"mhm." i replied reluctantly

"Are these cuts fresh?" She looked up at me

"Yeah." I hesitated "I'm trying to stop, i promise."

"Hey it's okay, we will get you better."

"I think i'm unfixable. I'm getting worse, im meant to be getting better." I sobbed "Its like everyday there's something new with me, i'm making everything worse for you."

"Sammy is right, i'm not your family. I still make everything shit and i'm not even your family."

"Rory your a Gallagher, your last name says that. Ian is your legal guardian! You are one of us, don't ever think otherwise." She continued "Your not ruining this family, you have a mental illness. Your only young Rory, it will get better."

"I'm just sorry."

"Stop saying sorry and let me wash your hair." She smiled at me


"Did you know Rory called me mum earlier." Fiona whispered to Mickey who was eating his breakfast

"Really?" He turned he head, he looked shocked

"What's up?" Ian asked as he came down the stairs

"Nothing." He replied as he kissed his boyfriend "Rory still sleeping?"

"Yeah, she will be down soon." He smiled as he poured himself a bowl of coco-pops

"Meds?" Mickey asked

"Sorry mum." Ian said sarcastically as he took both of his pills

"Sorry can't have you stealing another baby." Mickey joked back

"Asshole."

"We need to pay electric" Fiona pointed out

Mickey Ian Lip and Carl all handed her money, Debbie and Rory on the other hand we're still asleep.

"I'm so glad franny slept the night." Carl pretended to kiss the sky "Thank you God."

"Well i didn't even get any sleep last night." Fiona butted in "We need $50 more."

"Debbie and Rory, can pay that." Carl said

"Rory needs to get up and take her meds." Lip nudged Mickey who was just trying to enjoy his cereal

"I think they need to be changed, there making her worse."

"Yeah i know, i will take her to the clinic later." Mickey smiled

"Morning long lost family." Sammy smiled "Someone's baby is crying up stairs."

"Ugh DEBBIE." Fiona shouted trying to wake her 15 year old sister up.

"Carl, Liam school now." Lip told them "And Sammy we aren't your family."

Sammie rolled her eyes which just made Mickey laugh.

I walked down the stairs, i still hadn't slept. I knew i looked like shit, i had new cuts on my hand and a broken leg. I'm about as shit has it gets

"Still got no sleep." Mickey smiled sympathetically

"Nope, i'm sick of it." I rubbed my eyes "I feel like i'm gonna crash at any minute, i really don't want to mickey."

I went to pour myself a bowl of froot loops but instead i missed the bowl and poured it all over the floor. I had no idea how, maybe it was from the sleep deprivation

"FUCK." I shouted as i chucked the box on the floor, i was sick of feeling so irritated "Why the fuck did mum die, she fucking died and left me this disease."

"Okay i will clean it up, take your meds and go back to bed." Lip grabbed my hand as he guided me back up the stairs, as i could barely walk on my own

"Bloody hell, never get a Bipolar hungover again." Sammy tried to joke

"Just fuck off." Mickey turned to Ian "We need to get her to the clinic."

"Yeah we will." He pecked Mickey on the lips "I love you."

"I love you to asshole." He smirked
