You often stayed with the Gallaghers because your dad was a major abusive jerk, but it was never an issue while you were dating Lip. The Gallaghers loved you, and you were a huge help around their house.
One night, Frank got very drunk and started arguing with you for no reason. Without a care in the world, he punched you.
Classic Frank.
You were cleaning the wound when Lip opened the bathroom door.
"Yo—"
When he saw the wound on your face, he stopped for a moment and walked over to you, cupping your face. "Frank?"
He knew it was Frank; no one in the house would ever lay a finger on you except a drunk Frank.
Unfortunately, he didn’t give you much time to respond before he ran downstairs.
You quickly followed, wanting to stop him before the situation escalated. Lip didn’t want anyone laying a finger on you, especially not his lousy excuse for a dad.
But you were too late. When you reached the bottom of the stairs, you saw Lip on top of Frank, repeatedly punching him while Fiona and Ian tried to pull him off.
