You and Lip were attached at the hip for as long as you could remember. He was yours. Your relationship was far from healthy, but neither of you cared.

Throughout high school, you spent every moment together, even moving into the Gallagher house when you were going through issues with your parents. He was always there for you.

But when college came, things changed. After a messy breakup, you were sure you’d never talk to him again, but it hurt to watch the boy you once loved slowly destroying himself.

You didn’t know what happened, something about him sleeping with a professor - you didn’t like gossip and tried to stay out of drama - but when you went to a party to see him serving alcohol yet drinking as much as he was pouring, your heart broke.

Did you do that to him? Were you the one that destroyed him?

One night, you got a call from the station, saying a certain Lip Gallagher needed bailing out.

You didn’t understand why the police called you and not his family, unless you were the one he told you to ring. They would still have your number from when you were teenagers and he got arrested for grand theft auto.

You were at the station before you knew it, almost stumbling when an inebriated Lip nearly collapsed into your arms after being bailed out. He looked green, and was in fact starting to already gag a little.

He groaned a little, and you had to help him out to your car to drive him home.

“Pull over,” Lip moaned painfully.
